Don't be fooled by the title, this shit is gonna be sad js

Also I recommend you listen to the song for this one cause it matches the story sooooo well.

(ALEC POV)

I must have been fighting off the Circle members all day, everyday recently...or at least, that's how it felt.

Ever since Valentine got the Cup and more followers, the fight against the Circle had been ever increasing and it made me nervous, but not for myself...

For her.

For Y/N.

She disappeared a little less than 3 weeks ago, just vanished into thin air. No note, no call, her clothes weren't packed, her phone still sitting on charge in her bedroom at the Institute, it vas like she'd vanished.

We were all scared for her, terrified the Circle had kidnapped or killed her.

I just hope she's safe.

And alive.

The whistling sound of a fist swinging through the air near to my head breaks me from my thoughts and I duck down quickly, spinning myself around and pulling my bow up mid-spin, letting the arrow fly the second I plant my footing, burying itself in the Circle member's chest.

He was the second last of the third horde that had tried to kill me today, but there was still just one more...small, long hair, cloaked.

I pull my bow up, sliding an arrow in and preparing to shoot...

And then I see her face.

"Y/N?"

***

"Y/N?" he gasps my name, his face slackening, the grip on his bow slipping a little, but he keeps it close

"Alec" I nod to him, pulling my hood back from my face, settling it around my neck, gripping my seraph blade tightly by my side

"Y/N" he repeats breathily, his face a mask of shock as he slowly lowers his bow (see gif), "We...we thought you were..."

"What, dead?" I laugh humourlessly, "Well...clearly I'm not"

"Where have you been?" Alec beams, relief flooding his face, "By the Angel, Y/N, we were so worried about you. You just...just disappeared and we-"

"Yeah, you sure looked long and hard for me" You remark snarkily, "How long was the search? One day? Two?"

"Y/N, with Valentine out there-"

"Oh, right, I forgot" I scoff, cutting him off "Your family and the Institute, that's all you care about, right?"

Alec's bright, relieved smile falters, slipping from his face entirely.

He knew what you were talking about.

*flashback*

"Hey, babe!" you grin brightly as Alec comes into the room, setting your book down, "How was seeing your mother?"

"Good" Alec mumbles, unresponsive, his eyes glued to the floor

"Everything okay?" you frown, becoming increasingly concerned

"I'm getting married, Y/N" Alec rushes all in one breath, "Soon."

"W-What?" you stutter, taken aback.

In a million years, you'd never expected something like that to come from his mouth.

"I'm getting married" Alec sighs, "But...not to-not to you. To Lydia Branwell, that Clave envoy who came to the Institute a couple days ago."
