Malec Stories

I Have You

I Have You

A/N: So, hey guys! Long time no see....again...Sorry. I have school and I'm working on two multichapter fics, so I haven't had time to post this.

This is actually my final exam for my language arts class, creative writing. And, of course, I mentally screamed "MALEC FANFIC!" But we had to choose from a group of first sentences, so I picked this one. I got an A+!! 

Disclaimer: CC owns, not me. 

Warning: Um, Max. 

Running down the street, the man held back a sob. He wasn't prone to crying, but today was an exception. Shadowhunters, half angel-half human, weren't supposed to cry. They were supposed to be strong, tough, not letting emotions overtake them. Then again, today was an exception, and eighteen is barely a man, after all. 

When his sister had run to him, screaming and crying, he was unable to comprehend what she had wheezed out. The blood coursing through his veins had run cold. He collapsed to the ground, still holding Izzy in his arms. No matter how hard he tried to deny it, she wouldn't lie about something like that. Max. His innocent, baby brother, Max. Was dead. 

So that was how Alec Lightwood found himself running down the street, unable to stop crying. He felt guilty about leaving his family alone, but he had to get away. Away from the bloodshed and greiving families of the attack. It had come out of nowhere. No one in Alicante had exected it. 

He eventually found himself out of the city, on the banks of Lake Lyn. He brought his legs to his chest, staring at his reflection. Bold blue eyes, raven black hair, and a pale, angular, face. Just like his little brother. Who he would never see again. Alec buried his head in his legs, pulling his hair, sobbing and screaming. 

How could he have let this happen?! He should have been there. Should have not left his siblings alone with that...monster. He should have known that Sebastion was the evil demon he was. He should have known.....

Alec's thoughts were interupted by a soft hand on his shoulder. The boy looked up to see the most beautiful cat eyes he had ever seen. Emerald green with flakes of gold swirling around the black slits. He still wore the dark blue gear from the battle before. His black locks were down,  just the way Alec liked it. No matter how horrible Magnus thought he looked, Alec thought he was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Magnus smiled softly at him. 

"Hey. How are you holding up?"

Alec felt him sit down on the grass next to him. Having him here made the hole in Alec's heart a little bit smaller. 

"I-I'm okay."

Magnus continued to stare at the boy, trying to access his emotions. Magnus could tell he was trying to stay strong, and keeping his emotions bottled inside. Unfortunately, for Alec, his blue eyes betrayed him. Magnus could always tell the shadowhunter's mood through his eyes. 

"Alec. You know you can't lie to me."

Suddenly, Magnus felt a pair of strong arms encircle him and a face burried in the crook of his neck. Soon after, tears began to stain his shirt. 

"Shh. I know. It's okay. Just let go."

No other words were spoken. 

Magnus continued to cradle the boy, sobs rocking his body. They stayed like that for several hours. Just holding each other. 

Alec realized something that night. That no matter what happens Magnus would always be there for him. They would always have each other. As long as they had each other, they would be alright. 

A/N: I know it's short, but the limit was 500 words, and I even went over that. Anyways, did you like it? Let me know. ^.^

Okay, bai! 

Till next time....
