Shadowhunter Chronicles Imagines/ One-Shots | REQUESTS ARE CLOSED

alec lightwood : teasing

Requested by @beautifulmax2001

The sound of skin on foam filled the training room, an occasional grunt in between blows. (Y/N) was on the training platform, in spandex and a sports bra, practicing her hand to hand training.

(Y/N) had chosen to do her year abroad in New York, having visited a few times a year every year since she was eight. She had made quick friends with the kids that lived in the New York Institute. Alec and Isabelle Lightwood and their adoptive brother Jace Wayland. The four were inseparable when (Y/N) came to visit. So naturally she had jumped at her first chance to move to the city that never sleeps.

Alec, having heard someone in the training room, wondered in. He wasn't shocked to see that it was (Y/N), if she couldn't be found in her room the training room was where she spent her time. It had always seemed to him that she had something to prove.

He smirked as he realized that she was too focused to notice his presence, then deciding to scare her. Being a Shadowhunter meant that Alec had light feet, he was quiet as he made it way to the training mat.

"You should probably re-wrap your hands." Alec said, his head lowered right behind hers.

(Y/N) jumped, not realizing who was behind her she sent an elbow flying back into the mystery mans abdomen. The person grunted and (Y/N) spun, shoved him to the ground before startling his waist. She grabs onto his hands, pinning them above his head, with one hand and prepares to throw a punch with the other. Before taking another swing at him she recognized who it was.

"Alec." She said, surprise laced into her voice. (Y/N) lets go of his hands, to which Alec does not respond. "Don't sneak up on me like that." (Y/N) said, slapping his clothed chest but still not moving off of his waist.

Alec chuckled, his chest shaking from below (Y/N). This hadn't been the first time that he had snuck up on her, seeing as (Y/N) did scare easily. It was always funny when he scared her.

Having perfect timing as always, Jace walked into the training room. His eyes immediately landing on the two, a large smirk forming on his lips.

"Sorry, didn't realize I walked into Alec's bedroom." Jace started, drawing the attention of both Alec and (Y/N). "Oh wait: this is the training room." He finished, dropping his head back with a deep laugh. One of his favorite passed times was teasing (Y/N) and Alec about liking each other, because the only people that didn't know were Alec and (Y/N).

(Y/N) rolled her eyes, just her luck that Jace would walk in. She rose to her feet, extended a hand to Alec and helped pull him to his feet. Neither one of them looked at one another, both of their face were bright red with embarrassment.

"What couldn't wait till you found a more secure room?" Jace joked again, enjoying the look on their faces far too much. "Or do one of you have a thing for public-"

"Jace." Alec hissed, his hands clenched at his sides.

(Y/N) cleared her throat, cutting the tension between the parabatai. "I'm going to go take a shower." She said, excusing herself from the increasingly awkward encounter.

Jace watched Alec watch (Y/N) as she swiftly left the training room. Alec still had his hands clenched at his side, angry with Jace for constantly teasing them. Jace, however, was still grinning like a child.

As soon as (Y/N) was out of ear shot Jace chuckled, "So, when are you going to ask her out?" He asked, turning to his body to face his parabatai.

Alec, had been taking a swig of his water, chocked on the water. He bent forward and coughed in order to unlodge the water from his throat. After clearing his throat he responded, "Um, never?" It came out as a question.

Jace rolled his eyes, "Come on Alec, she's clearing into you." He said, attempting to point out the obvious. It made Jace angry sometimes, that Alec didn't believe in himself. Their entire lives people had always put Jace above Alec, unfairly.

"Just drop it." Alec said, becoming increasingly annoyed with Jace.

Jace narrowed his eyes, "I'm serious Alec." He says, still pushing the subject. "Just ask." Jace said, standing across from his parabatai with pleading eyes.

Alec sighed. He stared at his hands for the longest time. Maybe Jace was right, after months of knowing of his feelings for (Y/N) maybe it was time to act on them.

"Yeah okay." Alec said quietly, he hated admitting that Jace was right.

Jace didn't say anything in response, he only clapped his hands over Alec's shoulders in support before shoving him towards the door. Alec stumbled for a moment before giving Jace one last glance and heading in the direction of (Y/N)'s room.

Alec knocked on her door, waiting for an answer but got none. He sighed before entering, it wasn't uncommon for him to just walk in. They had known each other so long that they both did it. He heard music coming from the bathroom, so he figured she was still in the shower.

(Y/N) used a towel to dry her hair, music blasting from her phone. She hummed happily as she finished, only dressed in matching bra and underwear. When she opened the door of her bathroom and entered her room she was surprised to see Alec pacing the floor, when had he gotten here?

"Alec." She said, suddenly realizing she was practically naked.

He turned towards her as the door opened, his eyes widening when she emerged wearing nothing but underwear.

She reached for something to cover herself, a blanket off the back of her couch. Alec spun in a circle so he was facing away from her. His hand flew to the back of his neck, rubbing the skin awkwardly.

"I am so sorry." He exclaimed. His eyes were screwed shut, how embarrassing was this an encounter. "I really didn't-"

"It's alright." (Y/N) laughed it off. Her voice sounded calm but if Alec had looked at her he would have seen she was just as embarrassed as he was. She quickly reached for the clothes she had intended to put on after her shower, pulling them on as quickly as she could. (Y/N) couldn't believe that this had happened, especially with Alec. When she finished adjusting her clothes (Y/N) crossed the room to Alec, "You can turn around." She said, her body almost pressed against his.

Alec shivered, he then turned around to find that (Y/N) was right in front of him. Her body was only inches from his, his neck tilted so his eyes could meet hers.

(Y/N) was the first to speak, "Did you need something?"

Alec's mouth hung open for a second, his mouth dry and his palms sweating. "Yeah actually." He said, swallowing in attempt to get rid of the lump that was rising in his throat, he was unsuccessful. "I know this may be a long shot," Alec paused to take a deep breath, "But I really like you." It sounded so stupid, like a fifth grade confessing his crush to his babysitter.

(Y/N) felt her heart skip a beat. It felt like she was dreaming, floating on a cloud. She had imagined this moment a million times, not that she had been in her underwear moments before.

She couldn't think of anything to say, nothing sounded good. So instead she stood on her toes, the only way to reach his height, and locked her lips with his. Her hands sunk into the black hair that sat on his head, his hands finding their way around her waist. Their lips moved against each other, dancing together perfectly.

Seconds later Alec's lips broke from hers, "Be mine." He gasped, before reattaching his lips to hers.

(Y/N) didn't need to respond, instead she hummed in response against his lips. She pulled herself closer to him, both of them tumbling towards her bed.
