Shivering slightly when Magnus pressed close to his neck, Alec gently brushed her hair away from her face. Now that he wasn't so exhausted, he realized that it probably wasn't proper for them to be so close, but technically she had 'kidnapped' him. That made the rules for some things different and he would never think of hurtng her. He'd still be a gentleman, but some things could be excused because of the strangeness of the situation.
Even without considering the rescue/kidnapping, it was strange. A warlock and a Shadowhunter curled up together when they were supposed to distrust each other completely. But he couldn't bring himself to be suspicious of Magnus. She had her secrets, but none of them were meant to harm him. Truthfully, she fascinated him. She was different than what he'd been told about warlocks and from anyone he'd ever met. Even Jace couldn't compare to her brightness, catching his attention in ways that his parabatai never had, not even when Alec had been completely lovestruck over him.
When her hand caught at his shirt, he covered it with his own, holding it to his chest as the sound of her purring pulled him back into sleep until he felt her begin to move. Smiling at her protest about not wanting to wake, he waited for her to remember where she was before speaking. "No, you're not. I feel better today."
Absentmindedly, he began brushing his fingers over her hair again, trying not to grin at how she was trying to hide from him. "I don't think I'll fall on my face if I try to get out of bed today."
