† Shadowhunters Imagine Book †

#1 - Alec

Its been six weeks since I found out about me being a Shadowhunter and I'm still trying to get used to all the new things like living in the Institute or getting runes drawn on me. But I have to say that I'm starting to like my new life. I always loved dangerous adventures and hunting demons was definitely a thrilling job.

I also get along pretty well with the other Shadowhunters, especially Jace and I seem to have a special bond since we are both adopted.
He's like a big brother to me and we often joke around and play little pranks on the others. But if there is something serious going on, I can always count on him.

I am currently walking around the Institute. On my way to the kitchen area, I bump into someone, almost losing my balance because of the sudden impact. But the person reacts fast and grabs me by my upper arm, preventing me from falling on my butt. I sigh with relief before looking up and meeting the wonderful eyes of Alexander Gideon Lightwood.

I can't really describe the relationship between Alec and myself. The first few days I almost thought that he didn't like me but Jace quickly tried to reassure me, saying that it was Alec being himself and that he was just a grumpy person in general.

We aren't really that close but I sometimes catch him glancing at me with a look in his eyes that I really can't seem to read.

"Watch where you go, (Y/L/N)"
He looks at me with mixed emotions, takes his hand from my arm and starts walking away.

I shrug with my shoulders and mumble "Sorry not sorry, grumpy cat" before making my way to the kitchen and grabbing something small to eat.
I don't know why but It makes me upset that he's always using my last name instead of calling me by my first name. Is he trying to distance himself from me? Or maybe he really doesn't like me?

The next day starts with a training session and I meet Jace outside the training room, already waiting for me. I smile and hug him before going inside and getting ready.

"How are you?" Jace asks me while we are doing a warm up
"I'm good, I think I'm staring to get used to my new routine" I grinned at him, making him smirk
"How is it working with the others? Do you get along?" he asks looking at me while stretching a little
"I guess so, Izzy invited me to go shopping with her on Saturday and Clary & Hodge are also very polite. I don't know about Alec, though" I bite my lip, a typical thing for me to do when I'm nervous or starting to get shy.

Jace raises his brow and tilts his head a bit. "What do you mean? Did he say something or what?" I shake my head 'no'. "I just think that he ignores me and I don't know what to do. I did nothing that could have made him mad at me or something." I sigh and look at the floor, not knowing what to do.

Jace gives me a sympathic and worried look before hugging me tightly to his chest.
"I'm going to talk to him, okay? He is my Parabatai but sometimes he's really acting like a dick. But I'm sure he doesn't mean it like that, (Y/N)."
He smiles at me and I smile back, hugging him again before we get back to train so I can finally go on a mission with the others.

It's been 3 days since my talk with Jace and everything is going normal. Right now, I am walking through the central park, observing the mundanes who can't see me. After a while, I stop and smile, seeing the old, big tree where I had my first kiss. I was 15. The kiss wasn't that nice, pretty sloppy and wet acutally, ew. But it is still a special memory for me. I walk over the soft grass and sit down under down underneath the leaves, leaning against the trunk.

While I am sorting my thoughts, looking up at the beautiful cloudless sky above, I don't really hear the silent footsteps coming in my direction.

"(Y/N)"

I jump a little by the sudden deep voice and turn my head in the direction of the person who takes place next to me.
Alec looks at me with an unreadable expression which makes me a bit nervous.

"Hey Alec. What are you doing here?"
I know that Alec doesn't really like the mundane world so I am extremely suprised to meet him her.

"Jace told me you would be here so I used my rune to hide from the mundanes and well, here I am" he shrugs a little and I swear, his lips twitched up slightly. I look at him with a confused expression.

"You wanted to see me? Is something wrong? What's up?" I don't know whether I should be worried or happy because I can't believe that he would come see me without a important matter.

"I...uhm... well..." he stutters while rubbing his neck out of nervousness
I raise my brows out of confusion but let him continue

He takes a deep breath before speaking again "I'm sorry about ignoring you and being an ass. I was just so used to Jace, Izzy and the others that it was totally irritating me to have two Shadowhunters at the Institute who didn't even know about our world." He stops, biting his lip which strangely made me feel some type of way... what's going on all of a sudden?

"But...thats actually not the only reason" he mumbles and avoids to look me in the eyes

"What do you mean?" I ask, curious about his answer, shifting a bit next to him. He hesitates before closing his eyes and sighing.

"When you walked inside the Institute, I felt something I never did before. You literally took my breath away, (Y/N). I was so scared to not know what this strange feeling was, so I tried to make it leave. I thought that ignoring you and being cold would make it get away but it just got worse. I kinda... started missing you? And then Jace talked to me and told me what you said to him. It really hurts me to know that you think I don't like you because... I really do. I actually think that it could be even more than just liking..." While talking, he opens his eyes again and looks straight into my shining ones. His gaze is a full mix of hope and worry.

" I think I'm falling for you, (Y/N) "

I am totally shocked and overwhelmed by his surprising confession that my eyes widened during his speech. But it soon turns into a look of aw as I took his hands in mine. While he told me his true feelings, it finally made 'click' and now I know why it hurted me so much to get ignored by him.
I developed feelings for Alec without even realizing it.

"Alec...I think I know what you mean and I feel exactly the same" I stare into his beautiful orbs and flash him a smile. I get the most wonderful one in return and before we even know it, our eyes close and we attach our lips under the tree I got kissed for the first time, 4 years ago.

...

But you know what? This kiss was so much better and I share it with the love of my life, Alec Lightwood.
