Alec's P.O.V:

I run through the streets of New York, almost getting hit by six cars but I barely care. My head feels like it's about to break and my ears are ringing but nothing's going to stop me from reaching Magnus. I have to apologize, to hold him, to comfort him and show him what he truly means to me, how important he is.

I enter the building's entrance and hurry up the stairs. I try to find my keys and when I do I push them in the keyhole, opening our apartment's door with shaky hands. I enter the dining room and start searching for him . I look to the bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen and his office but he's not there. I'm about to start looking in the extra bedrooms when I notice a small female figure in the balcony with her back facing me, gazing at the night sky with a drink in hand.

I instantly smile at the image of my boyfriend, well 'girlfriend' for the time being, but then check the clock that's hanging on the wall and frown. It's 9:30pm by now. Geez, how long was I out? I shake my head and slowly approach Magnus, wrapping my hands around his smaller than usual torso and nestle my face in the crook of his more delicate than usual neck.I breathe in his scent and a smile finds it's way back in my lips, now wider than before.

My Magnus will always carry his sandalwood smell with him, even when his idiotic friends turn him into a girl. "I'm so sorry...",  I whisper in his(her? ) ear. Ugh, I'll kill Ragnor... But the second he hears my voice, Magnus finches and immediately moved away from me and starts to walk back inside, without allowing me to see his face.

"Nothing to apologize for darling. Fancy a drink?", he asks, his voice a bit more melodic and soft than usual but also hoarse and shaky, like he's been crying. "Mags, I think we need to talk about--", I try once again but Magnus shakes his head, his now long black hair going right and left.

"Nothing to talk about Alexander, it's just a potion. It'll wear of soon, don't worry". He reaches the little table with his precious alcohol and starts working his magic. He wears his normal clothes but they're a little more wide than usual since his tight muscles have been replaced with feminine curves. But there's something missing.

There is no... sparkle. That usual sparkle Magnus always has that makes him... Magnus. He could have easily snapped his fingers to make his clothes fit him, but the fact that he didn't, the fact that he didn't even brush his new hair or didn't even aply his favourite jewellery or glitter makes it even more obvious that he is not okay. I stare at him as he pours himself a drink,always making sure that I'm facing his back.Whiskey Rocks.

Yep, couldn't be more obvious. He's in pain but wants to push me away. But I won't let him. I've promised that I'll never leave him alone, especially not when he needs me.

"I know. Ragnor called me. He wanted to apologize and inform me about the side effects. Wanna hear them?", I say, hoping we could start conversation by there. Well, I guess that Magnus had other plans.

"No need to, I figured out some of them. Nausea, physical pain, headaches, dizziness. Don't worry, these ones are gone by now. The morning was the worst but they slowly ceased after noon. But now that I've fully recovered I'm gonna go check out some documents. It'll take a while", he grabs his drink and heads to his office, magically closing the door behind it.

Guilt rises inside me, threatening to choke me. He needed me here, to take care of him like he always does for me. And I wasn't here. I can't believe how stupid I've been!

But I won't lose any more time. I'm gonna be by his side now. I won't leave him to deal this all by himself. I walk to the kitchen to make something for dinner. Chicken soup. It's what my mum was cooking when me or any of my siblings were sick.

Once I'm done, with that, I fix a plate of chicken soup, a glass of orange juice and a slice of bread and place them in a trait. I pick it up and head for my warlock's office. I take a deep breath and knock.
