Alec ~ No Turning Back

Jab, jab, punch, swerve, uppercut, uppercut, counter, swerve. Alec recited his movements as he punched and pounded at the punching bag, unaware that you were just behind the corner, watching in awe.

"By the angel, just tell him how you feel already" you hear a voice groan from behind you. You swivel around quickly, surprised by the sudden voice. Jace.

"You never know, he may feel the same way" he smirked

"He doesn't and I won't" you sighed, leaning your head against the wall as you turned back to watch Alec train, "I don't want to risk losing what we have now"

"What makes you so sure that you will?" Jace asks

"Let me ask you a question" you snark, facing him, "Why haven't you told Clary how you feel about her?"

Jace froze, shocked by your comment. He hadn't thought anyone noticed

"Yeah, that's right, I know" you laugh, "Kinda obvious when you follow her around like a lovesick puppy"

"That's a different situation" Jace defended

"Right" you scoffed, shaking your head

"Hey" a deep voice from behind you said and you jumped, swirling around to face Alec, "What are you guys talking about?"

He was sweaty and breathing heavily from training, taking quick, deep drinks of water from his bottle. He looked beautiful, like he always did and you admired the block rune on his neck, your personal favourite rune on him

"Nothing" you and Jace said, you desperately and Jace snarkily

"O-kay" Alec said, drawing out the words. He looked from you to Jace and back to you again before frowning, confused by your reactions, before leaving the room *gif*

"Ugh, nice one!" you protest to Jace, smacking his arm and storming off

"Ow!" Jace whined as you sped off and you smiled

Serves you right.

"-I mean really Y/N" Izzy sighs, smacking backwards onto your bed, "When are you going to tell him how you feel. It's getting tedious, this love sick attitude"

"Oh my angel" you groan, rolling onto your side to face her, "Have you been talking to Jace lately? Because all you both do is ask me about Alec and when I'm going to admit to him that I have feelings for him, every time we talk"

"Well maybe you should just tell him then" Izzy resolves, "After all, if Jace and I can see it, doesn't that tell you that literally everyone else can too?"

"Not necessarily" you mumble, nervous now. Was it obvious? Did Alec already know?

Your frantic thoughts are interrupted by Clary, opening the door to inform you that it was time to leave for your mission. 

You thanked the angel for the interruption, hastily speeding from the room before Izzy could ask you any more questions.

You, Izzy and Clary walk through the halls of the institute to the weapons room, knowing that's where the guys would be, collecting their weapons and awaiting your arrival so you could leave for the mission. Today's mission was no different from any other. Find Demon. Kill Demon. Save the world...and then report it to the head of Institute for the Clave. Boring, generic, basic but hey, beats the mundie life.

"You guys ready?" Jace asked. The other two girls nodded but you went to open your mouth - you still needed your seraph blade - but before you could, you heard the whistle of air as a blade flew across the room towards you. You caught it reflexively.
