The Rocky Horror Malec Show

"Don't dream it, be it . . ."

~Doctor Frank 'n' Furter

When Alec was ten, he got whalloped in the stomach with a baseball bat because Jace bet some kid in their fifth grade class that he could win the Little League Game with a home run. Of course, Alec had to help him practice, hence leading to his ribcage's unfortunate meeting with the middle of Jace's bat. This lead to a crack rib and a week off school. It wasn't Jace's fault. It had an almost impeccable incapacity to accept defeat. It was extremely easy to bait him, meaning it was extremely easy to get Alec dragged into ridiculous quests with his best friend. Because where Jace went, Alec did too. He wasn't going to ditch his friend, he wasn't that kind of guy. So, he tried to help. By now, it almost became a routine.

You would think that a person could grow some between Fifth Grade and Senior Year. But this was Jace Wayland-an especially special case-and he remained his stubborn, impenetrable self through their entire education. It had been a while since someone tried to bait Jace, though, which had made Alec believe that maybe their chain of absurd quests had come to an end. Maybe he could get through this final year of school without getting himself injured or ridiculed in relation to trying to complete an outlandish job to aid Jace's cause.

That was until Sebastian Morgenstern slid into the picture.

Sebastian was Jace's girlfriend's brother. Clary and Sebastian didn't get along. Their parents separated when Clary was only a baby and while Clary stayed with her mother, Sebastian went with their father. Sebastian was a nasty piece of work who believed he was God's gift to women and would someday become something bigger than everyone in his company. Alec didn't interact with Sebastian all that often-he preferred to avoid any and every person who behaved in that way-but Jace and Sebastian butted heads on a regular basis.

Alec guessed it was because Sebastian behaved like he had some sort of brotherly claim on Clary. That since their dad wasn't in Clary's life, it was Sebastian's duty to judge who she should and shouldn't date. Of course, he made it abundantly clear that he didn't like Jace and didn't approve. Clary didn't care and mostly ignored her brother's senseless behaviour. Jace, however, wasn't the ignoring sort and his tenacious attitude often got him into trouble with Sebastian, no matter how many times Clary tried to tell him he wasn't worth it.

Clary's Art Class put on a performance at their school's theatre, as the term 'Art' did not just refer to her painting. She wanted to explore all forms of art, so she joined the Performing Arts group a few months prior. It was a simplistic performance of Hairspray, with limited props and wigs that didn't fit anyone (really, the school needed to get a better budget) but Alec quite enjoyed it. It was a change from sitting at home watching shitty reruns of Teen Mom and The Price is Right.

Afterward, Jace bought Clary a bunch of flowers. Jace wasn't a romantic kind of guy but for Clary he'd be anything. Besides, her performance as Penny was pretty impressive and even Alec thought that she deserved praise for it. They decided to go to Taki's to celebrate the success of the performance with some of Clary's other cast members.

"I might look into this as a permanent career," Clary said, playing with the petals on one of Jace's flowers.

"There's a lot of money in acting," Isabelle, Alec's sister who had been the lead role in Hairspray, replied. "The only issue is trying to break the mould and get where you want to be."
