Malec Contest (One shot)

3. Forgiven

  "Since both of them were already drunk or drugged up, could you give them I don't know...something that would make them friends again? Don't you have something like that?" Isabelle asked.
"I'm afraid this has to be done in the mundane way."
"Everything started with a mundane method, am I right?"
"Yeah, they don't have my magic and do that in the old fashioned way. They just pretend to be the other person. But now I don't know if this is going to work."
"So, what do we do?"
"What if we locked them up in a room until they are friends again?" Simon suggest.
"Don't you think you are taking revenge?" Izzy asked, smirking.
"Of course not."
"Come on, it was funny." Clary said.
"He scared the chicken out of me. Jace telling me I was...no, no way. They need to be under control."
Everyone laughed.
"Okay, we do what you said, Simon."


"Let us go." shouted Jace.
"You can go if you stop fighting."
"For bacon's sake. We're stuck in here forever." Alec complained.
"I'm not going to talk to you." Jace said pointing at Alec.
"You're talking to me right now."
"From this moment, I'm not going to talk to him." He shouted to the others. "So you can keep us here forever."
"As you wish." Magnus promised.

Jace stopped hitting the door and sat down in the floor in front of Alec. Alec opened his eyes to see what caused the noise. But he only saw Jace sitting and he closed his eyes again.

Two hours later, Magnus sent them food. Both of them ate in silence. What they didn't know was that the food had some magic dust that made to the one who ate it to tell the truth.

"Don't you think this tastes a little weird?" Alec asked.
"I said I wasn't going to talk to you." Jace said. "But I missed you.
Alec and Jace looked surprised by the last sentence.
"What?" Alec blinked his eyes and said "I miss you too, it's difficult to fight and fight over and over again with your brother."
Jace felt surprised but then smiled.
"I... Yeah, that's difficult. I think we've cross the line."
"Jace, I want to stop it.
"Me too, we've been fighting for stupid stuff."
"Like that time when I got mad at you because of you listening music very loud from the band Clary showed you"
"Yeah, I thought you were crazy.
They're really good. Or the time I went crazy when you left me alone in the Hunter's Moon."
"I arrived just 20 minutes later."
"I told you. Jace Herondale doesn't sit alone for 20 minutes."
"Haha, that time I thought you were a drama queen."
"You were the drama queen when I didn't wash the dishes."
"That was because when you finally washed them, you broke my favorite cup."
"And what about the time you ate the food Clary bought me?"
"So this last time...that was your revenge?"
"No. I was really hungry but I thought about it later and I realized it looked like that."
"You did a good job. We finally overwhelmed our coupes and they sent us here."
"Didn't see that coming."
"Me neither."
"I guess it was difficult for them too."
"And for Izzy."
"But when we were in battle we forgot everything. That's a point for us."
"Even if I was mad at you, I wouldn't let you die, parabatai."
Jace laughed. "I know that. Even if I am a parabatapickle."
"Even then."
"Even if I say some kind of demon is already extinct and turns out I'm wrong?" Jace asked, smirking.
"Yep, I would save your ass. Not that we've already been there."
"Definitely not."
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too. Would you forgive me?"
"Only if you forgive me too."
"I have to tell you something." Jace said suddenly.
"Um, yeah?"
"When you left me at the Institute while I was drunk something happened. I was thirsty and I went to the kitchen for a glass of water and I found Maryse. She realized you were drunk and asked if you were like that because of Magnus."
"By the Tomato, what did you tell her?"
"I said yes because I thought she was talking about the switching bodies stuff. Then I corrected myself and told her that was because Magnus left you with Jace and Jace is crazy...so we got drunk."
"That's better than I' ve had thought." Alec said, nodding.
"I also thanked her for accepting and loving her gay son and her demonic son...you know for Valentine's games."
Alec covered his face with both hands and exhaled.
"I have to tell you something too."
"You have to be kidding me. There is more?"
"Another girl kissed me and I told her I was gay. She didn't believed me because of your body so I told her we would see another time. That calmed her so I gave her your number. You should remedy that, you don't want Clary founding out that."
Jace threw himself at the floor.
"You have something to add?" He asked without getting up.
"No. That's all. What about you?"
"I'm done."
"Now that everything is out in the open, can we continue with the forgiving part?"
"Yeah, that's what we have to do."
"I'm sorry for everything. I don't want this to happen again."
"You mean the fights or the switch body thing?"
"Both."
"Agree. I'm sorry too and I promise I won't go crazy for stupid stuff."
"Me too. And if we do fight we forgive each other quickly. Deal?"
"Deal, buddy. Come here."
Jace and Alec hugged each other and smiled.
