The comment about insanity had him momentarily wondering about Jace and his need to pick fights with demons that were 'mostly extinct.' It would explain so much about his parabatai's behavior and his confusion when Alec didn't think it was fun to almost be eaten by things that shouldn't exist. "I think it depends on the type of insanity."
Not that that it said much about his sanity since he followed Jace into those crazy situation and ended up getting beat up regularly. His mental state might be in question, but he knew that Magnus was sane, even if some people might think risking her life for someone she'd never met was a sign that she should be in an asylum. "I don't think you're crazy, Magnus, but you do crazy things. Like rescuing me."
As he relaxed into the mattress, he closed his eyes for a moment, surprised that he didn't instantly fall asleep. "I know I do. Moving around was more tiring than I expected." At least physically tiring. Being near Magnus seemed to energize his thoughts, making him hate the idea of sleeping since that would mean she'd leave him even if he knew that she had to.
Blinking up at her, he ignored his exhaustion, blushing brighter at how Magnus wanted to match his coloration with the bedding, thinking of her comment about wanting to touch him. Alec was inexperienced but he knew enough from Jace's stories to have an idea of some of the things she might be thinking of. Things that he'd never thought he'd consider but couldn't help thinking of when he saw her eyes go dark before she kissed his forehead.
Carefully scooting over to give her more room he squeezed her hand when she curled up beside him. Wrapping his arm around her, he sighed softly, the aches that had been bothering him seeming to fade away with Magnus near. For a moment, he considered her question, trying to understand why she'd think he wouldn't want her near. His protests about her reputation had been to protect her, not because he didn't want her close. "I'm okay with it, Magnus. Why wouldn't I be?"
