Alec Lightwood Imagines

There Will Be Another Just Not Like Him

Alec frowned as you pulled away from the lingering kiss and rested your hand on his cheek, he knew this kiss, the last time you kissed him like that the Clave had refused to allow you and Alec to get married.

He didn't care that you were half warlock, to him all that matter was that you loved him, no matter what idiotic plan of Jace's he followed or dates he missed so he could put in extra hours of work you loved him.

"This is for the best Alec." You said softly. He'd nervously explained his plan to marry Lydia and you saw this as the chance to make everything up to Alec, he'd been shunned and judged harshly by his own people for staying with you even after the Clave refused his request to marry you, he wanted everyone to be happy but sometimes that couldn't happen.

"No please (Y/N), don't." Tears dribbled down Alec's cheeks as your fingertips began to glow a light purple. "I love you." He whispered to you before his eyes glazed over.

You called Jace and told him that Alec was on the doorstep of the Institute, kissing Alec's forehead, hurrying away before Jace could see you.

"(Y/N), how's the young Shadowhunter?" Magnus asked when he found you stood in his penthouse, looking out at the Brooklyn bridge.

"I forced his hand." You sighed attempting not to cry. "He has no memory of me." Magnus' face fell as he hugged you gently.

"You'll feel better eventually, it will take along time but you'll heal and move on." Magnus' tone was wise and experienced.

"I don't think I could move on, Magnus, I've never felt the way I do about Alec with anyone else." You smiled weakly when he motioned for you to sit on the sofa.

"You don't need to worry about that, someday there will be another just not like him." Magnus sighed and left you to wallow, muttering that a spare room was made up if you wanted to stay.

Alec spent the next three weeks wondering around with an empty feeling, like he'd forgotten something important, as if he'd lost a part of himself. No one would give him a straight answer when he tried to question them so he just took their word for it, they said that he'd hit his head during a mission, and he couldn't remember anything else.

It wasn't until Alec was stood in his wedding suit that he found something in his room, a picture of you and Alec, that had been tucked away fell from his top draw as he rummaged through it. He had no idea why his heart was pounding or where he was going but he fled the Institute, ignoring his mother's calls, running as fast as he could to where ever he was going.

You were ready to step through the portal Magnus had conjured for you when two hands gripped your waist and span you around, as someone pressed an urgent kiss to your lips.

"Alec!" you gasped as he pulled away from you.

"Never... never make me forget you again." Alec gasped as he doubled over and tried to catch his breath. "I've never felt so lost before." He muttered as you brushed a hand through his hair.
