When I look at you- Alec

Alec never thought he would experience a kind of love like he felt at this very moment.

As he saw you sat chatting with all of your friends he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with affection towards you. The only problem was that you were his best friend, and there was no way you would ever return his feelings.

"Let's play spin the bottle" Clary announced suddenly, making you and Jace groan as Isabelle laughed.

"Clary that's such a cringey game" you said and earned a pointed look from the girl in question.

"It is not" Clary said and snatched the empty cider bottle you had in your hands. "C'mon form a circle on the floor"

You plopped down on the floor in between Clary and Jace, and looked up to see Alec sitting directly across from you.

Alec smiled at you and you could feel your insides turn to mush just by that single action. You just couldn't believe you had fallen head over heels for your best friend.

You were pulled from your thoughts when your friends let out a collective ohhhhh. You looked down at the floor to see the bottle Clary had spun pointed right at Isabelle.

Clary paid no mind to the cheers and whoops and instead walked right on over to the hunter and smooched her right on the lips.

You cheered along with your friends and both Clary and Isabelle laughed as they pulled apart.

"Not bad, Fairchild, not bad at all" Isabelle said.

Clary flipped her hair over her shoulder and sat down again, picked up the bottle and looked around at everyone before deciding who should spin next.

"Jace" she said as she held the bottle out for the blond to grab. "You go next"

Jace snatched the bottle from her hands, muttering how stupid this game was as he put it down on the floor and spun.

You took a swig of a newly opened beer and almost gagged when you saw the bottle stop spinning and point towards you.

You looked at Alec who sat across from you but his face was as if set in stone, it was impossible to tell what he felt. You felt a bit stupid for even trying to make out his reaction, as if he would even care who you kissed.

You put your bottle down on the floor and turned to face Jace instead.

"You okay with this?" He asked, not wanting to do anything without your consent.

You were feeling a bit pissed off to be honest, it hurt to know Alec didn't care at all, so before you had collected yourself you stood up on your knees and leaned in to kiss the blond, your hands instantly going up to tangle in his hair.

Jace wasted no time and responded to the kiss quickly, his arms coming to wrap around your waist to pull you close.

Your friends all hooted and cheered, but suddenly went quiet when a door slammed shut loudly.

You and Jace pulled apart and you immediately saw that the spot Alec had occupied was empty.

You hurried to get up on your own two feet and chased after your best friend.

You instantly spotted him walking down the corridor towards his room in a brisk pace.

"Alec, wait up" you called out as you ran to catch up with him.

Alec didn't slow down however and you didn't catch up to him until he had reached his room.

Before he had the chance to open the door you squeezed in between him and the door to stop him.

"[Y/N], move" he said as he stared down at you, his face still ever so hard to read.

You tried to make sense of what was up with him but to no avail. "Not until you tell my why you just stormed out like that"

"Move" Alec repeated, completely ignoring what you had just said.

"Does this have anything to do with me and Jace? I'm not interested in him at all and even if I were I would not let him get in between our friendship" you said as you tried to capture the gaze of the tall hunter who stood before you. "Alec please just tell me"

You could suddenly see something shift in his eyes. "Even if it would ruin our friendship?"

"Nothing could ruin it, you know that"

"I'm in love with you, [Y/N], okay. Now can you please step aside and left me in"

Too baffled to even be able to process what Alec had just told you, you didn't have the chance to react as he stepped around you and disappeared into his room.

It took you several minutes to actually understand that he had just confessed he loved you, but when you finally did you wasted no time and spun around, knocking repeatedly on the door until it swung open and revealed an annoyed looking Alec.

Without thinking you flung yourself at him and pressed your lips to his.

Alec stumbled back at the impact of your body colliding with his, but it didn't take long for him to return the kiss and for his hands to settle at your hips.

When the two of you pulled apart for air you gazed up into his eyes as a large smile appeared on your lips.

"I love you too"
