Malec - One Shots.

The truth. { part two. }

Before:

Alec half laughed. It was one of his nervous habits along with biting the inside of his cheek. “That I’m gay or that I’m going to tell my parents?”

...

“Time to draw every single rune that will stop you worrying, falling, vomiting and any other incident that could happen from happening.” His smile was toothy and he was stood waiting. Maybe he expected Alec to be in a rush to get this done but he wasn’t.

------------
Now:

I had expected Alec to wait until after dinner to announce the truth but I could tell by the bounce in his step that wasn’t going to happen. At first I smiled at his new found confidence, it suited him but one look into his eyes told me this was an act. But not an act created by him an act that was occurring because of the newly drawn runes on his arms .

I took one of his hands to try and calm him but let go when we entered the dining room.

Isabelle was sat at the table with Robert with Maryse was laying the plates down, I imagined them being the family to all be helping each other set the table and get ready but as the already made up table actually went into my train of thought I knew they had already sorted everything together.

Jace sat down with his elbows on the table and knife and fork in each hand. Max was on one side of him and Alec slowly edged himself down on the other. I took a seat next to Alec and Isabelle accompanied my other side.

The food was set in front of us all, they thanked the angel – something I didn’t participate in – and began eating. Expect Alec who exhaled deeply and jumped off his chair.

“Alec?!” His mother questioned. I guessed the runes must be slowing down as he didn’t seem as pumped as before.

“I-I” He stuttered the cleared his throat and inhaled with his eyes closed. “I invited Magnus here because he’s my boyfriend and I love him and I’m gay.” The words spouted from his lips so quickly I hardly registered them.

Isabelle smiled supporting him and Jace continued eating like it wasn’t a big deal. His frightened eyes made him look like a deer in car headlights, but that clearly didn’t matter to his parents who were bright red.

“Alec! The Clave! You know what they think about this!” Maryse half yelled half whispered as if the clave could hear them.

His father’s head was in his hands and he was muttering to himself something about being normal and just fading into the background.

Isabelle looked shocked and flipped her head between her parents and Alec, she clearly didn’t picture this to happen. Jace, as before, was just eating.

“How, how is this even possible. He’s a man! And a downworlder, yes a normal mundane maybe would have been okay for your little phase but…” She trailed off and scoffed a few seconds after.

“Can’t any of you just be normal and keep to the Clave’s rules?”

One time when I was climbing a tree, I dozed off and fell ten feet to the ground, landing on my back. It was as if the impact had knocked every wisp of air from my lungs, and I lay there struggling to inhale, to exhale, and to do anything.

That’s how I feel now, trying to remember how to breathe, how to function, totally unable to speak. I expected the Lightwoods to not understand at first but that was too far even for them.

She left the room and Robert followed, their voices talking in a muffled tone was slightly audible from behind the closed door. Isabelle walked over from her chair and hit Jace on the back of his head before giving her brother a hug.

“You did good.” She nodded and smiled then turned to her other brother. “Do you even realise what just went on? Or is that piece of broccoli more important than your brother?” she rolled her eyes and gave Alec another smile.

He nodded then looked over to me, I could tell he was hiding back tears. He always pulled the same face when he was going to cry.

“Can we go?” He murmured stifling a sob. I took his hand and we left the room without speaking another word. I was still shocked. Once out of the kitchen and into his room he collapsed into my chest and began to sob. I stroked his hair and hushed him quietly.

“Shh, it’s okay. They will come around eventually. This hasn’t changed my feelings for you Alec.”

“I’m sorry.” Were the only words I picked out of the air that he had said. He was sobbing in between trying to talk and it wasn’t working very well. My top was become damp from his tears but I didn’t blame him. His parents shouldn’t have said what they did. Better yet the Calve shouldn’t have the rules they had. It was wrong and people shouldn’t be categorised.

What even is normal?

I held him close and we stayed in the position for a while. “Just take deep breaths.” I whispered quietly to him once his tear ducts had run dry and he was beginning to calm down. I hated seeing my baby this way. It physically, mentally and emotionally hurt.

“I still love you too.” Alec exhaled and laced our fingers together. “I’m not changing for them.”

“I love you too.”
