Matthew Daddario imagines

Love is friendship set on fire

The first three things that Clary Fray had had noticed when she had spent a few days with Jace and the Lightwood siblings was the following: First, Alec Lightwood was way too uptight and serious. Second, the parabatai bond between him and Jace was crazily intimate. And third, Alec Lightwood was head over heels in love with Y/N. Clary had met his best friend during one of their training sessions. Y/N was really pretty and according to Isabelle a really fierce shadowhunter. That wasn't something you necessarily could tell looking at her. She seemed soft and really kind , the first time she had met Clary she had hugged her and made her feel more welcomed than Alec every had in those two weeks he had known her. So when Jace told her that Y/N was Alec's best friend she had been shocked. Where he was reserved and serious , Y/N was open and carefree.
It had been a Friday night when Clary had watched those two train. She was amazed at how elegant but also cool Y/N looked trying to beat Alec, and how his chest heaved from exhaustion. It was the moment that Y/N had Alec pinned down on the floor ,laughing and helping Alec up that Clary saw the look in Alec's eyes as he watched her walking over to her water bottle to take a sip. The smile that had formed on his lips reminded her at how Luke looked at her mother.

''You're following her like a love sick puppy, Alec!''
Isabelle faced her brother noticing contentedly how Jace nodded in agreement.
'' Mom knows, Hodge knows, everyone does ! Even Max asked me when you two will finally marry.'', Izzy supported her argument crossing her arms in front of her.
''Except for Y/N.'', Jace chuckled while playing with Clary's hair.
''Well that's entirely his fault ! How is she supposed to know? I heard you argue last week and you said some things that must have really hurt her, do you realize that?''
Alec stood awkwardly in the middle of the room wishing this conversation didn't take place.
''She almost got herself killed, Izzy!'', Alec said annoyed, feeling his anger rising just thinking of how carelessly Y/N had played with her life . He knew that he shouldn't have yelled at her, saying the things he said. The moment he had realized that she was holding back tears he had felt incredible guilty and sorry. But the sheer horror he had felt when he had gotten told that the healing rune almost hadn't worked on her and that she had been on the brick of death made him feel incredible hopeless and petrified. The thought of losing her made him go mad and he had been so furious with her for taking her life so insignificant. Even though she and Jace were the most important people in his life. He wouldn't be able to live without them.
Since that day Y/N had tried to ignore him, clearly hurt by his actions. And Alec was suffering.
''I lashed out, I know! But-''
''The thought of losing her makes you go crazy. We know. '',Izzy said softly.
''But I believe Y/N didn't understand why you acted like that.''
Silence filled the room.
''You do know she feels the same way, right?'', Simon spoke up.
Alec rolled his eyes feeling his heart speed up at the mere thought that Y/N could actually feel the same about him. But he doubted it. He would always be the best friend and nothing more. Exactly like that mundane.
''Trust me she does. I know how...I can tell.'', Simon added with a short look to Clary.
''You have to tell her.'',Jace said seriously.
''You need to apologize and then tell her how you feel. This has been going on for years and you're lucky enough to really...love someone. Don't let it go to waste.''
Jace's voice was quite but the serious look on his face told Alec that he meant it.
It wasn't like Alec didn't know.
But he just couldn't. What if he lost her with his confession? He'd rather have her as a friend than have her not at all.
''I have things to do.''
He escaped.

Isabelle watched her brother go, asking herself how her intelligent brother could be so dumb when it came to feelings.
Jace bit his lips, slowly grinning.
''I might have an idea.''

You haven't been feeling too well since last week. Your body still had to heal and the fact that you weren't on speaking terms with Alec was a burden. When he had yelled accusing you of not taking your job seriously and not being thankful for the opportunity you had been provided with really had hurt you deeply. You had grown up without parents, the Lightwood family had always been something like a home to you. Being reminded of how you didn't belong anywhere by Alec left a bitter aftertaste. You haven't felt so alone in a long time.
You knew you should be probably talking to Alec, sorting out your issues. But the fact that he didn't come to see you to ask for how you were doing really really hurt. Like he didn't even care.
Even though all you really wanted was to be hold by him . Hold than more than just his best friend.
You hadn't left your room in days, laying in bed all ay and snuggling with pillows while watching crappy comedies on TV. When your door opened you didn't expect Max Lightwood to sneak into your room, hopping on your bed grinning.
''Max!'' You laughed, raising an eyebrow. Max was almost like a brother to you, you loved to visit him every time you were in Idris.
''I've been told to check your injury, Y/N. And I heard you have chocolate ?'' His cheeky grin was disarming.
''Well, Dr.Max I do, indeed. ''
He nodded seriously instructing you to let him take a look at your wound.
You sat up, wearing a short nike shorts, lifting your shirt up a little bit for Max to see the sword wound. It wasn't too bad anymore, otherwise you would have never shown it to Max.
Said newly doctor nodded stating that it looked okay before asking for a piece of chocolate. You gave it to him before you both snuggled up in the bed watching Spong Bob.
10 minutes later he excused himself because he had something 'important' to do.
You turned off the TV before you got up to prepare for a shower.
