Give Him a Chance

Ugh, Alec Lightwood. What a stupid name. Stupid, overly formal sounding, annoying, cute, attractive na-

Magnus stopped. He had been pacing his bedroom for almost half an hour, constantly thing of that boy. The boy who had stormed into life completely out of nowhere, just to save his 'father' who wasn't even his blood. Just because Magnus had kidnapped him and was planning to keep him in that cell until his last days. Alec was being totally out of line.

Stupid Alec being all stupid. Just because he walks in like he's own the place he thinks he's better than me. Ugh, stupid annoying, beautiful blue eyed, dark haired boy with-

Magnus stopped pacing again. He shook his head. He cannot be having thoughts like that about Alec. He definitely couldn't be the one. Not him.

"Your majesty?"

Magnus turned to face the doorway, where stood the small golden candelabra that was Isabelle Lightwood.

"Hello Isabelle." Magnus said with authority. "What is it you need?"

"I was just wondering who everything is going with Alec!" She said excitedly.

"Oh, you're here about him." Magnus practically growled.

"Yes I'm here about him." Izzy said frowning at him. "What's wrong, he's a great guy!"

"A great guy? He embarrassed me in front of the prisoner!" Magnus almost whined like a child. "That never happens. My prisoners are always supposed to be terrified of me!"

"You're so petty." Izzy said. "Ridiculous."

"Remind me why you're here again?" Magnus huffed.

"To tell you something about Alec." Izzy paused, possibly for dramatic effect. Stuff like that was very Izzy.

"Go on then."

"Well, he's my brother."

"What?!" Magnus yelled. "Your brother?!"

"Bit louder Magnus, I don't think the people back in Idris heard." Izzy rolled her eyes. "Yes, my brother."

"But he was never part of my staff." Magnus said.

"Sorry to break it to you but just because one Lightwood works here doesn't mean all of them have to." Izzy glared at him.

"Why haven't I sent you out fend for yourself in the forest with the wolves?" Magnus growled as he walked to his bed and flopped down onto it.

"Because your life would be a boring tragedy without me." Izzy joked. After seeing Magnus not react at all, her face fell and she realised something was really wrong. She hopped onto the bed and leaned against Magnus' arm, being careful not to set his fur on fire. It was hard enough to put it out the first time.

"So you really don't like him?" She said in a quiet voice.

Magnus looked down at her. She looked so much smaller than usual. She sighed and slid down his arms until she was sitting.

"I don't even know him Isabelle." Magnus didn't quite know what to say to sooth the young woman.

"I just thought that maybe he could finally be the one, you know?" Izzy shook her head. "Since he's my brother and all, I thought maybe it was fate or something stupid."

Magnus did know how she felt. He thought that every man or woman who walked through that door could be the one. He was even hopeful at first. He thought back to the first man who ever walked through. His name was Imasu.
