Malec one-shots

The Black Rose

Today had been rough for Alec, although it was like most days, this time he didn't get to see Magnus, Magnus made him feel wanted, feel special while his siblings only ever made him feel like he wasn't enough.

"Dammit, dammit DAMMIT." Alec repeated as if it were a chant. As he cried out thaes words his fist net the wall, over and over until you could see the bricks that hid behind the paint and Alecs bloody hand. As if he were on queue the one person he didn't want to see right now came storming in with into his room with purpose. "What do you want. Jonathan?" Alec spat at him. "Wow, 'Jonathan, I must have really screwed up today." Jace said taking pride in every word that rolled off his tongue. Yet his eyes occasionally flickered their attention to Alecs bloody hand.

"Wow, you finally noticed, how smart." said Alec his voice dripping with sarcasm then scoffed.

"Alec... Where'd my parabatai go?" Jace asked slowly as if he were testing the waters aka Alecs, mood. But he now has a giant smirk on his face. "Hmm, I don't know Jace." Alec soar but, then continued with his sarcastic tone. "Why don't you go ask Clary since you spend all of your time her anyway, since you make her feel like she's wanted. You know what, why dont you just take this rune off of me and put it on her? Oh right because then you couldn't be in love. Maybe then you'd understand what I went through for 11 years! Jace and you don't even care, you just make me feel like I'm your stupid babysitter, so Jace no, Jace get your crutches you can't walk on a broken leg! And yes, Jace we know you can fit 20 grapes in your mouth at a time so stop wasting fruit! No, you can't fight a duck and call yourself a hero to humanity! Nor can you kill a demon on one foot! so until you learn that I am not your mother and you should start treating me like a normal human being don't call me your parabatai ever again! " After Alecs emotions were let out, Alec ran, he ran to the place he felt safe.

Alec unlocked the door with his key and stepped in." Magnus? " He said aloud hoping his cry would be heard." Darling what are you doing home so early? I thought you had training with your blonde parabatai." Magnus questioned though concern flowed through his voice. "Parabatai? More like I was born to raise his cocky Herondale ass." Alec muttered. "I got into a fight with Jace." He answered hs voice trailed off seeming as though that wasn't the thing he wanted to say. "I'm sorry if I'm bothering you I can lea-" Alec was cut by Magnus' buetiful voice. "No, no. Now Alexander... tell me what's on your mind." Magnus spoke the last lady of his sentence softly knowing that it was hard for Alec to open up.

"Magnus..... Why do you love me? You make me feel wanted and special, but really I'm not. I'm just a stupid shadowhunter who managed to find someone as perfect as you." Alec said sadly. "Alexander come with me." Magnus said his tone almost demanding. Alec took his outstretched hand with no hesitation and stepped through the portal, Magnus newly created. When they exited the portal Alec could see they were in a garden full of vibrant red roses.

"Magnus, what are we doing her?" Alec questioned quietly. "Come sit, I want to show you something." Magnus responded not fully answering his question. Alec sat down in front of Magnus on a wooden bench. "Now Alexander, you see most people's eyes go straight to the bright red roses." Magnus said stopping for a moment to pick a red rose out of the garden and held it up for Alec to see. "But what people don't see is the black roses hidden in the hiding in the shadow of the reds." Magnus paused once more to pick another rose, this time the rose was black. Alec understood that this was a representation of himself. "And although it is hidden and people don't usually spot it first, does that make it any different?" Magnus questioned. Alec shook his head still trying to understand his point. Magnus, sending his confusion continued.

"How I see it is; they are equally buetiful, but I only see the black rose for its uniqueness, and rarity. Alexander you are the black rose and I see you, and only you because of the depth you hold. You are my black rise in heavens garden." Magnus finished, leaving Alec in tears and Alec hugged Magnus with the realization that he wasn't a black rose in heavens garden, he was a black rose in Magnus' garden and the only one there.
