Matthew Daddario imagines

Teacher

Plot: Y/N's been teaching Max Light runes, since she's no longer is required to go on missions. Alec gains interest in her and begins to remember his past.

The institute had fast pacing Shadowhunters getting ready for their next missions. Always wearing the traditional black, fitting like a second skin. I missed the feeling and satisfaction I always got from the leathery fabric.

I was not longer required to be on those missions again, I trained everyday. Strengthen my skills everyday. That didn't help the fact that I lashed out on my last mission. Attacking a downworlder with a seraph blade. I remembered the anger running through my vein when I constantly stabbed the werewolf in the heart.

Even though werewolves' weakness is silver, I stabbed so many times that the werewolf couldn't regenerate. I cried until Alec Lightwood had taken me back to the institute. I didn't know him personally, But the Lightwood name has been known throughout the Shadowhunter world. it happened so long ago I don't think he remembers.

I remember is clearly.

"This one is creation." The small gentle voice pulled me from my inner thoughts. I looked down to see the Rune book laid across both my and Max's laps. His tiny index finger pointing to a circled run with a lineless A in the middle.

We were sitting on a stiff white leather couch that sat against a far wall. The loud noise off Shadowhunters not reaching our ear range. Light kissed our skin from the window behind us. Warming us from the cool and feel of the institute.

"That's correct, Max." I said smiling , He looked up at me with beaming bright brown eyes. He hasn't been able to label that particular rune for a while. "I did it!" Max yelled as he jumped off the couch and started happy dancing.

I couldn't help but giggle at his adorableness, He's never done that before. Than again he's never been stuck on a rune before. He usually knew most of them already.

I looked up feeling eyes burning on me. Dark brown eyes locked on mine and on to the sight of his little brother's excitement. He looked back at me and slightly smiled before walking away.

I frowned looking at the time on my phone, 4:00pm Sharp. "Max, your mother will be here soon to take you back to Idris." I mentioned, taking the Rune book into my hands and standing up.

"Awe, but why cant I stay with you until our next rune session?" Max asked looking up at me with big doe eyes. I giggled kneeling down to his height. "Because, Max. You have to go back home. Your mother won't be happy if you stay here." I explained to him and gave him a hug afterwards.

He wrapped his small arms around my neck, latching onto me for as long as he could. When I started teaching Max about runes I could feel our bond grow stronger. He was like a little brother to me and I felt like a big sister to him.

"Max it's time to go." Mayrse' s bold voice made us pull apart. I stood up and greeted her with a smile that she returned. Max sighed loudly, "Mom, I don't want to go back. I want to stay here with Diana." Max whined.

"Max we've talked about this before, You can't stay here and don't whine it isn't not polite." Mayrse said. I watched as Max lazily started walking to the entrance of the institute. Mayrse rolled her eyes at her youngest as she walked to me.

"I don't know what you do to make him like you so much." Mayrse said.

I shrugged "All I did was give him the time of day."

"I can't repay you enough for teaching him, he's been so good with his runes ever since." She mentioned before walking off.

I frowned starting my own way to the place I call home now, my room. I'm not ready to start going on missions again. That fear I hold is getting me closer to getting my runes stripped. Just having the thought rolling I'm my mind made me shiver.
