@✧ Alex Minsung groaned at the other's stubbornness, shaking his head at how Alex got to be the hero every time they are together, not realizing Minsung is capable of protecting them both, that he is stronger than the other makes him be. Did Minsung liked feeling vulnerable around Alex? Yeah he did, he was the only person he felt safe around, the only person MInsung allowed to see him down or depressed, but right now it was time for Minsung to step it up, looking at their captivators with a wicked grin, a smile only reserved to dark one son. "Well, dearies, aren't we having fun?" he said while feeling the blood dripping down his neck. "But I think it's time to end this, after all we don't want to create more mess than what you already made" he mumbled and with a wicked smirk and what seemed like the rest of his powers he snapped his fingers, disappearing together with Alex, leaving a cloud of smoke behind them both as they teleported to his small house.
@✦ Minsung Alex stopped as the man held the knife at Minsung's neck. "Alex, Alex, Alex ..." the man, clearly the leader said as he pressed the blade to Minsung's skin until blood seeped down. "You should've just been a good boy and die the first time." Alex took a step forward then stopped again as he knew that the slightest move could end with Minsung getting hurt. He felt a kick at the back of his knee, making him fall to the ground, but his eyes never left Minsung. He shook his head at the other's words, there was no way he was going to leave him behind. "You have me," Alex growled, "now let him go."
@✧ Alex All Minsung remembered saying was "I'm not leaving you here" as they both jumped off the bed. Everything went by so fast, there were five maybe six skilled and trained males, all wearing masks and ready to fight, they came with one goal, finish the job they started and the fact Minsung was in the way didn't matter. "Alex" he screamed the other's name, reaching for his pocket knife as he started fighting, kicking and punching and for a second Minsung believed they were in control. "Alex they can't kill me remember?" was all the younger said, looking at him serious, knowing the injury will hurt, that it'll leave him powerless for days, but Alex shouldn't risk his life for it. "Go...I'll be fine" he kept repeating, freezing under the threat of the sharp knife, heart pounding hard against his chest as the edges scraping against his porcelain skin.
@✦ Minsung Alex's eyes snapped open at Minsung's voice. He looked around, as if he could see through the walls, and sat up. Pain jolted from the wound he had, though he was healed, his body was still remembered. Cursing under his breath, he tried to get up and pulled Minsung up with him. "You have to get out of here." he said and almost doubled over as his head was spinning from all the blood he'd lost earlier. Just then, the doors bursts open and the two of them were swarmed by men. He tried to hold onto Minsung, to protect him the best he could, but only to get pulled away from him. He felt a jabbing fist in his stomach, where the stab originally was and he let out a cry of pain. Alex doubled over but he jabbed up with his own fist while they were distracted and caught one of the men in the jaw. Thanks to his parent's training, he got the upper hand, that was, until they held a knife to Minsung's neck.
@✧ Alex Falling asleep peacefully in the other's arms was something Minsung did so many times before, but it always gained him some sense of comfort, protected. Even though Minsung was the stronger one in terms of strength and abilities Alex always treated him like a fragile creature who needed protection and Alex was the only person in the world that Minsung was ok with being treated that way. Minsung woke up after a few seconds, hearing a strange noise outside of the cabin, feeling now more alerted than before. "Alex, Alex wake up, there's someone here" he whispered, knowing that now without his magic he won't be able to protect them both they way he wished.
@✦ Minsung Alex knew that his life was still in danger. He knew that with Minsung here, his life was also in danger. However, he couldnt bring it in himself to leave. Not even after Minsung snuggled against him and seemed to be asleep. Alex's arms pulled Minsung closer and he placed a small kiss against the corner of Minsung's forehead. Feeling the heaviness of his eye lids, Alex closed his eyes as well. He didnt sleep, at least not yet, he wanted to keep holding the other in his arms. The closeness of their bodies made Alex's heart race, and he was afraid that Minsung would hear it. He knew that there was a line that friends should never cross, or it'll be hard to go back, but he couldnt help it. Minsung was an important part of his life. He just hoped he hadn't ruined anything.
@✧ Alex The kiss made MInsung calm down, looking at the other male with a shaky breath, it seems like the other didn't understand or didn't care enough to realize how dangerous this is, how his life is still at risk and that if he won't act up now Minsung might lose him. "Alright...rest it is..." he whispered, pulling himself up from the wooden floor and helping Alex to do the same. Yes the place was dusty but at least it was a bed, he thought and moved the other to snuggle close to his chest, feeling the warmth of skin to skin touch. "All magic comes with a price, this time it was one I was willing to pay" he admitted, closing his own eyes shut
@✦ Minsung Feeling the anger in the other's voice, Alex let out a soft sigh and pulled Minsung close, pressing their lips together. After a few minutes, Alex pulled away and looked at Minsung, "Calm down, hm?" he caressed Minsung's cheek, "I'm okay now, thanks to you. And rest is what we both need. Let's just worry about that for now." he patted Minsung's head and smiled. He knew Minsung was probably even angrier now, but he was just grateful for being alive. Alex was always there for Minsung and never really wanted anything in return, but he was happy that Minsung was there with him now. "I'm sorry you used up your powers on me."
@✧ Alex "well I can't make you a new one now...I'm out of magic, I'm not like my father and with saving you...I'll be off magic for at least a week, so we'll have to hide here, figure out who were they and how we are going to catch them, so when the week will be over we'll be able to rip them from limb to limb" Minsung whispered while his palms clenched into tight fists, his voice laced with anger and hate. "Your job or not you almost found yourself dead...so what kind of justice is that?" the younger asked, feeling his insides boiling just by the thought.
@✦ Minsung Alex smiled and placed his free hand on top of Minsung's head. The other had given him a necklace for protection but it must've gotten broken somehow during the struggle. He was facing others that had magic so they probably did something to it since he wasn't wearing it now. "I was wearing it Minsung ... I never took it off. But, they must've known about it and took it off somehow. It's my job though, I can't stand by and watch injustice happen in front of me..."
@✧ Alex Minsung didn't find the situation amusing. it was far from that, someone tried to kill Alex, his Alex, the person who was always there when he was in troubles, always there when he ed up. Every break down, every fight with his parents Alex was there. "You always take the most dangerous missions..." the younger mumbled, squeezing the offered hand as he closed his eyes. "You are human, I said it too many times before, the least you could do is wear the neckless I got you with the protection spell" he groaned, ending up laying his head on the other's chest. "You do realize they won't hold back if they'll know you are still alive"
@✦ Minsung Alex let out a soft chuckle at the other's attitude, it always seemed to make him happy when the other was mad at him like this. At Minsung's question, Alex's smile faltered and he let out a sigh. "My current job ... or former now I guess... it didnt go so well. My client is dead... and I was supposed to die ..." his hand moved to hold Minsung's, "I watched them Minsung... I watched as they slit from ear to ear... there was so much blood..."
@✧ Alex Alex's touch always sent a sense of comfort to the door, the feeling of safety, someone he could rely on. `He looked at the other male, frowning, shaking his head as he leaned closer to him, refusing to completely back away. "You do realize how stupid you sound right? you almost dying...of course I looked pale" he answered, not saving every bit of his attitude. "don't apologize, I'm just glad I happened to be here but...'' Minsung said, pausing mid sentence while resting his hand on the other's chest, feeling the steady heart beat in his palm. "What happened ?" he asked worried.
@✦ Minsung Alex reached his hand up to caress the other's pale face and he smiled weakly. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, "you look so pale." He was more worried about his friend than himself, another quality that he had. Even if he was in the midst of dying.
"Im sorry..." he said and rubbed his thumb against Minsung's cheek. Most likely, Minsung had used magic on him, because there was no way that he could be recovering this quickly from a wound that bad. "I didnt mean to make you worry."
@✧ Alex Minsung watched as the wound completely healed, his body drained since he wasn't as powerful as his father, feeling like it was hard to breath as everything went back to normal. Getting up he carried his wounded friend to the couch, taking off his own shirt and dabbing it in some water, using it to wash the blood away from the other's chest, making sure that all traces to the horrible injury were now gone. "Alex..." He whispered weakly, closing his eyes shut, a sigh of relief leaving his lips, still completely unaware to why his friend was in the forest, or what happened.
"You idiot...don't ever do this again" he mumbled, almost like he was accusing the other, like Alex was the one responsible for his own injury. "do you feel better?" he asked, still worried about the other's state.
@✦ Minsung Alex let out a groan as Minsung applied pressure to the stab wound. He could feel everything but no matter what he tried, he couldn't open his eyes. He even tried to move his hand, tried to reach out for the other male but to no avail. It was then that he was reliving what had happened to him as if it was a movie. His client was involved in a murder, in which she was the family of the deceased. She was finding evidence to convict the defendant and had hired him for it since he was a PI after all. He had found the information that was needed to put the bastard away for good, what he didn't expect was to be ambushed with his client.
No matter what Alex did to try and protect his client, there were just too many of them and he was at a disadvantage. Alex was only human after all, so if he was to face off against someone with magic, he would be useless. The perps stabbed him in the abdomen, stabbed him ten times and all in the same spot. They made sure he was still awake, long enough to see them kill his client. Then everything went black. It felt like hours until Alex found the strength in him to open his eyes. When he did, he saw the ceiling of the mossy cabin and the eyes of a familiar friend, looking at him. "Minsung..."
@✧ Alex Minsung's eyes moved to the other's soaked shirt, ripping it off, as he acted quickly. No time for tears, no time to be scared or panic, he knew one thing and one thing only, he was going to save Alex's life no matter what it takes. It wasn't hard to find the large stab wound, watching the way the blood poured out of it, staining every thing around him. Minsung tried to stop the bleeding, he tried to hold a cloth against it but piece after piece of fabric was tossed aside, soaked in the crimson red liquid. 'He is losing too much of it...' he thought, knowing the chances of survival are dropping with every second passing. "I'm not letting you die Alex" he whispered determent, trying to figure in his mind a plan.
The decision was made, and Minsung knew he had no other choice. With a snap of his fingers the time in the room froze, everything stopped and it was then that Minsung started mumbling a soft chant, using an ancient healing spell. The wound on the other male slowly closing, healing in front of the younger and making him breath. He knew he would get in troubles, he knew that all magic comes with a price, but he also knew that no matter what the price was, it was something he was willing to pay.
@✦ Minsung Alex's subconsciousness came in and out as he laid there on the moss-covered floor of the cabin, bleeding out. He tried to open his eyes to see who had walked in, he could hear the footsteps approach as the wooden floor creaked beneath him; however, all he could see was darkness. Only when the other spoke up, did Alex realize who it was. "M-Min..." was all that he could manage to get out before the words got swallowed away by darkness.
Alex felt extremely cold now, most likely, it was from the rain and the loss of blood.
The wound inflicted on Alex was that of a stab wound to his abdomen. In which, he had received earlier that evening in the hopes of helping his current client. He didn't know that it was going to turn out this way, and even though Alex was in and out of consciousness, he had a feeling that the client was far worse than he was now. His client was most likely dead and tossed somewhere like trash. It made Alex angry, but he couldn't do anything about it. Especially when he couldn't even stay awake. 'Am I going to die?' he thought in his mind.
@✧ Alex The forest was ancient. The trees thick and old, roots that were twisted, the humming of wild animals surrounding the place filled the air and Minsung traveled through it all. It wasn't uncommon for the young Malle to roam around between the everlasting green, right in the boarder where good and evil met. It wasn't for nothing though, there was always a reason, a mischief in the making, as deal after deal was set between the forest trees, and today was no different. Minsung was on it way back to the dark side when the familiar stench of blood filled the air, causing a wave of thrill go down the young male's body. The thoughts of who it might be, or how desperate he'll be to get his life saved was beyond exciting, it was opportunities like this that made Minsung proud, happy with what he was doing.
Following the trail of crimson red all the way to the musty old cabin, the smell of fresh blood lingered in the air and Minsung stepped closer to the person laying there so desperately. "It seems like you need help..." he said, his lips, only then realizing who was the lying man, who was the person he wanted to take advantage of. "Alex..." he choked, the words stuck in his throat, unable to understand what happened, or why the person he trusted most was no dying on the cabin's floor. "It'll be ok, I'm here..." he whispered and leaned down, searching for the wound.
@✦ Minsung Water ...
or was it rain? Alex's eyes slowly opened at the endless wetness that continued to shower him. It took only a few minutes for Alex to remember what had happened and he immediately tried to get up. Jolting pain caused Alex to double back to the ground and let out a cry as his hand flew down to his stomach. Alex looked down at his hand and pulled it back slightly to see it coated in red. Pushing himself to his feet, Alex stumbled along the forest path, leaning against trees along the way for support. He wasn't sure where he was going, but he needed to get to a place that he could try to patch himself. 'You can't die here, Alex.' he told himself and kept telling himself. He couldn't let himself die here and cause his family pain. Feeling tired, he leaned against a nearby tree and looked around his surroundings. The rain made it harder for him to see but he could make out a cabin of some sort. With the last bit of his strength, Alex pushed himself off the tree and towards the cabin. His vision blurred in and out with each step he took. Just as he reached the door to the cabin, everything went black, and his body collapsed to the wooden floor. Blood seeping out from his wounds.
