Shadowhunters Imagines & Preferences

Alec ~ Please, Don't

Alec, as was usual for him, was furious. Livid. Incensed, even. Unusual, however, was the fact that you were the source of his current lividity.

"I cant fucking believe you've done this!" Alec shouted, his handsome face twisted with rage

"Alec, please, just listen to-" you begging to plead with him, but he cuts you off

"I don't want to hear it right now, Y/N" he growls, glaring at you

He was angry because you had followed him out on a mission. You were worried about him and, as you had expected, you were right to have been.

The mission had ended...badly because Alec, too busy telling you off for following him, had gotten distracted and been ambushed by a demon. Alec was struggling with the fight and was worryingly beginning to lose, so you had stepped in and killed it. This, however, just made everything worse because you are a mundane, not nearly equipped well enough to handle a demon fight.

I mean, sure, Alec had taught you self defense in both the mundane and Shadowhunter way, just in case you ever got into an altercation with a demon if he wasn't there or something. But, again, I repeat, if you got into a situation like that. He hadn't, for instance, taken it to mean you could follow him on dangerous missions.

What made matters even worse was that Alec had needed information from the demon you had killed and now, on top of the fact he got ambushed by a demon and was surprised by your showing up, he had also failed the mission and was in trouble with no other than his mother.

"Alec, please, just-" you try again but he turns away from you, still unwilling to hear your explanation

"Stop it, Y/N! Just stop!" Alec yells

You had to admit, you were shocked. You had, of course, had fights every now and again, after all you had been together for a fair few months now, but none of them were as big as this one...and none of which had he ever rose his voice.

You felt anger surging and knew you should just turn around, leave, cool off. You were both hot tempered and if the two of you really got into it...who knew how bad it could get.

However, you didn't leave.

"I saved your fucking life, Alec! Surely I deserve some form of thanks for that?" you snap, "Look, I'm so sorry your bosses and your nasty mother are going to be angry at you now or something but you could have died!"

"Are you kidding me?" Alec roars, still seething, "You think I'm mad because I'm going to get in trouble? Because I failed my mission? No, no, Y/N, you could have died too!"

Alec's voice rose higher than you'd ever heard it before and he was beginning to scare you. He took a step closer to you and you almost instinctively rocked back from him but you resolved yourself and steeled your position.

"I can take care of myself" you hiss, glaring. You were so sick and tired of everyone around you thinking that just because you're mundane, you were helpless and fragile. It was your soft spot and he knew it, because all his mother could ever talk about was how mundane you were, how much she disapproved of the relationship, how unworthy you, a common mundane, were of the Lightwood name.

Because, by the angel, how unfit a candidate for her son's future wife than a mundane of all things!

"You're a mundane, Y/N!" Alec yells and you stiffen, he was very close to you now and his anger had not let up, "When are you going to get it through your head that this entire situation is dangerous?! That demon would've had a lot easier of a time killing you then it would have me!"
