Magnus' reassurances that he was perfect for her left him unsure of how he should feel about not being in 'that place.' It sounded like she could possibly have feelings for him someday but if he shouldn't think of himself that way then that such hopes were foolish.
Hopes that despite telling himself were impossible caught in his chest as Magnus pressed her lips to his neck, finding a spot that caused his breath to stutter. Those feelings tumbled around, as he tried to untangle her meaning. Being above the others didn't sound quite as reassuring as she probably intended. Even if that kiss was something he doubted she'd give him if she wasn't interested in him.
His thoughts didn't clear until after she was finished rinsing the soap from his hair and had she gotten the towel. Seeing that blush reassured him, causing his face to warm when he saw that she was attracted to him. Giving her a nervous, shy smile when his gaze caught hers. "I don't mind you looking."
It was improper and something that went against him wanting to protect her reputation but it was the truth and Alec didn't want her to feel guilty for looking at him. He slowly stood, ignoring how he tub and the floor beneath it seemed to tip slightly beneath him and carefully stepped over the edge. Gripping the edge until he knew he had regained his balance, he wondered how bad his wounds had really been.
The heat of the water might have made things worse, but he had the feeling that wasn't the only reason he felt shaky. Moving toward Magnus, he focused on each step instead of the fact that he was naked. When he stood in front of her, he gave her an embarrassed look, almost apologizing for needing her help but realizing that might sound ungrateful. "I'm sorry I haven't healed faster."
