Chapter Text
Jace lowered his gun.
"Urgh whose last words are 'I can't miss my golf tournament'," he murmured irritated as he watched the now dead body slumped to the ground.
His ears pricked up as he heard quite footsteps coming his way. "Well, I mean if my killer would be as handsome as you I wouldn't have been able to think straight either.", a familiar voice chuckled from behind him.
Jace smiled as he felt a hand traveling up his back and turned his head to stare at beautiful gold green eyes, skillfully rimmed with black kayal.
"You're late", the blonde pointed out while putting his gun back. He straightened his blazer and the collar of his black dress shirt, making him look like he hadn't just killed one of the most notorious men in the city.
"I know. I'm sorry, "Magnus said as he moved to stand in front of his lover.
Jace regarded him.
Magnus was always the 'dress to kill' kind of guy.
With his gorgeous bronze skin, a beautiful contrast to his fine white suit and his jewelry and make up on point.
"I talked to Alec on the phone. He wanted to make sure we won't forget our date later.", Magnus explained amused.
Jace's smile widened as he thought of their cute boyfriend.
Of his breathtaking blue eyes which would carry a worried look if something won't go as planned and the way his nose always stucked in one of his endless supply of books.
He always knew that Alec didn't really approve Magnus' and his "lifestyle", mainly because of how dangerous and risky it is.
Still, the love this boy held for them can't compare with anything Jace had seen or known in his life so far.
A warm hand on his neck pulled him back to present. Magnus' several rings adorning his fingers were cool against his skin.
"What are you thinking about?", the older man asked.
Letting out a content sigh, Jace moved his own hand beneath Magnus' white suit jacket and thumbed at his waist, feeling the handle of Magnus' gun peeking out of the waistband of his pants.
He looked up at the taller man and whispered, "Well I think we shouldn't keep our baby boy waiting then."
Magnus grinned at him.
He gazed over to the body, blood was already pooled around it, ready to leave haunting stains on the smooth cashmere carpet. "I guess Meliorn will "clean" and finish this up?", Magnus asked.
Jace nodded.
Meliorn is a high ranking member in their Mafia Organization.
Even though Jace wasn't fond of him, he must admit that Meliorn was good at his job.
He was the one who suggested to finally take revenge on Mr. Lee Smith. One of the richest and corrupted men in the city but most importantly an allie of Sebastian Morgenstern.
Their rivale Mafia Organization.
For years the two enemies try to take each other down, without much success until Mr. Lee Smith teamed up with Sebastian.
Together Smith and Sebastian violated their territory, falsified papers to exploite their workers and locals and stole one particular antique necklace that was worth a fortune.
But for Magnus it was priceless.
It belonged to his mother before she died.
Somehow they managed to steal it and kill two of Magnus' and Jace's men in that proccess. Since then Mr. Smith was on the top of their 'to kill - list', next to Sebastian.
Well not anymore, seeing that Jace's bullet recently found it's way swiftly through Mr. Smith's head.
Meliorn volunteered to organize the meeting and detect where the necklace is kept, so Magnus and Jace can take care of Smith.
"We'll meet him at the warehouse, he should have the necklace with him by now." Jace explained softly. Knowing how sacred that necklace was for Magnus. Jace remembered the moment when they found out what happend, the way Alec had to calm Magnus down with his soothing voice and his hands on his face as Magnus snapped and lost control.
Realizing he had lost the only thing left of his beloved mother.
Jace snapped back to present, as he felt a tug on his hand. "Let's go", Magnus smiled at him. Jace smiled back and followed him, without sparing a second glance to the dead body crumpled on the floor.
*****
They were waiting in front of the warehouse, close to Mr. Smith's mansion. Even though everything had gone by plan so far, Jace was feeling uneasy. Something felt wrong.
Meliorn should've been here by now.
He turned to Magnus and was about to share his upcoming worries as suddenly bullets shot through the air, forcing their way into Magnus' chest and stomach, causing him to collapse to the ground.
Not one second later Jace had his gun out. With two shots he had the shooter down, but not dead.
He was always the best gunman among them. After Magnus of course.
It took Jace all of his strength to leave Magnus and run to the fallen shooter, but he had to find out, who was behind their attempted murder.
Jace kneeled down and pointed his gun to the man's temple.
"Who sent you?", he hissed.
"He will kill me if I tell you", the injured man gasped out.
Jace snorted cruelly, "Oh don't worry, I can arrange that as well". He loaded his gun with a 'click'.
"Spit.", Jace said through greeted teeth.
"Meliorn", the man forced out, " Meliorn, he works for Sebastian."
With full force, Jace knocked the man out with the handle of his gun.
Without wasting another second, the blonde ran back to Magnus and fell to his knees beside his lover, cradiling him in his lap.
His white suit was already soaked with blood, his body shaking slightly.
Jace took off Magnus' white suit jacket and ripped off the shirt he was wearing underneath. After that he took off his own black blazer and button up shirt, leaving him only in his white undershirt.
He ripped his shirt in half and used them to put pressure on both of Magnus' wounds, wich leads Magnus to groan out in pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry", the blonde whispered as he kissed his lover's forehead. " We're gonna get you out of here, you gonna be okay.", Jace tried to assure Magnus, but mostly himself.
He cannot panic now.
Quickly and with shacky hands he pulled out his phone and put it on speaker, not wanting to stop his task at hand.
After a second ring a cheery voice answered.
"Yes Boss. What can I do you for?" ,it says dramaticly.
Jace hadn't even the strength to roll his eyes.
Dismissing the greeting he hurried out an order, "Simon I need you to get down here. Fast."
*****
After giving his gang member all the information he hung up and resumed trying to stop the bleeding. There was so much blood.
His Magnus' blood.
'Shit it wont slow down.' he thought, feeling more and more panicked with every passing second.
Magnus breath was now slow but ragged. His eyes were fluttering. Then his gaze was fixed on the man who desperatly tries to save his life.
"Jace, list-.", he coughed out.
"No..Magnus don't you dare die on me...d-dont you die on me, you hear me .", Jace interrupted him desperatly.
With a lot of effort, Magnus grabbed his arm, his voice was as firm as it could get under the current circumstances.
"Jace, Listen to me. Take...take care of him okay, take care of our Alexander".
Blood was now dripping out of his mouth, but he doesn't stop speaking, a sad smile lingered on his face, "Give him a kiss from me and tell him I love him, okay", his grip tightend on Jace, he lifted his other hand and touched the blonde's face.
Jace closed his eyes.
He can feel how cold Magnus fingers are already getting. " as much as I love y-"
"No."
Jace cut him off. He couldnt hear this. This is not a good bye. It can't be.
"No, I dont need to tell him that, because you will tell him yourself" he pressed harder on the wounds, determined not to give up.
"You won't die Magnus. I won't let you. You will be stuck with me and Alec for a long long time. Please, just..just hold on babe."
Magnus smiled again, closing his eyes. "You were never a fan of last words", he whispered and his grip loosened on Jace's arm.
"No, no, no, no.."
Just as jace thought this would be the end, a van pulled up the corner and Simon and Raj sprang out.
"Thank God", he almost cried of relief.
Carefully they got Magnus into the van, while Jace kept talking to him, trying to keep him awake.
Raj was ordered to stay behind to take care of the bodies.
During the ride to the hospital, Magnus had lost consciousness, but he was still breathing, preventing Jace from having a heart attack.
Simon had sent Clary to the hospital to talk to Raphael, the head doctor and one of Magnus' best friends, and fill him in about what had happend.
Just as Jace assumed, Raphael insists on performing the surgery himself.
He won't trust the best doctors in the world with Magnus' life.
Like Alec, the young doctor wasn't pleased about Magnus' life choice, yet he was down with treating their gang members, while making it as discreet as possible, to avoid any wanted attention to the Mafia Organization. He would just roll his eyes and murmur something in spanish about why he's always surrounded by idiots. Magnus would only grin and ruffle his friend's hair.
As soon as the van arrived at the emergency, Magnus was carried to the surgery room.
Raphael was already in front of the doors and was talking to a nurse. He had already his scrubs and a surgical cap on, ready to perform the surgery.
Jace moved to him at the same moment the young doctor was looking up.
Their eyes locked.
Before Raphael could turn around, Jace got a firm grip on his arm, trying to hold desperatly on the last hope for Magnus' life.
"Raphael please, bring him back to me. Bring him back to me and Alec. Please.", he pleaded but let go of Raphael's arm.
Raphael didn't say anything. He was just staring at the blonde's worried, glassy eyes.
With a final nod the young doctor vanished behind the doors.
Magnus' life was now in Raphael's hands.
Jace's eyes were lingering on the closed doors when his phone vibrated in his pocket and pulled him back to earth.
