Curling around Magnus when he felt her shivering, Alec froze when her hand went to his arm. Holding his breath, he waited for her to tell him to let go, slowly relaxing when she moved closer.
"I'll try to keep you safe." He could have made the promise more reassuring but they were both tired and Alec wasn't sure completely she'd healed him. Alec felt whole, but he was tired, exhaustion wearing at his thoughts. And he knew that there could be injuries that weren't completely healed that he didn't know about.
Smiling as she snuggled into him, he kept an eye on the door. She felt frail in his arms, like she'd used up everything she had to put him back together again. He couldn't let her be harmed after giving so much for him. As she slept, Alec tried not to focus on the even sound of her breathing. His thoughts become fuzzy but he forced himself to stay awake, refusing to completely rest until Magnus was aware.
