Only You | Shadowhunters [Alec Lightwood]

"Jace is your brother?" Sophia wondered with wide eyes as she sat beside Clary on her bed in the institute.

Clary had just told her all about what happened after she left, how Michael was in fact Valentine and how he was Jace's father.

The redhead shrugged, "That's what Valentine said" the brunette frowned turning to Clary, "And you guys believe him?"

Clary sighed looking down, "He said things that only Jace know of" She paused for a few seconds before looking at her fingers, "I was falling for him, Sophie. I wanted him" She admitted as she looked up at her best friend confiding in her what she felt.

Sophie smiled sympathetically at her friend side hugging her, "Maybe it just wasn't meant to be" She said comforting her.

Clary pulled away looking at Sophie, "Right. You and Alec?" the redhead asked with a newfound interest remembering that the couple, too, have their own drama going on.

"He's getting married, Clary. It's not like there's much I can do" She answered putting a lock of hair behind her ear.

"Did you talk to him?" Clary asked as she was concerned for her friend, "He cares about his family, he's being an honorable man. I hate it but there's nothing I can do to change it"

Clary nodded in understanding before sighing, "Look at us! Our lives are a mess"

"At least we got each other, right?" Sophia said with vulnerable eyes staring at her best friend who was basically a sister to her, Clary smiled hugging her friend, "Always"

A few hours before the wedding the brunette knocked on Magnus' door with a bottle of alcohol in her hand, "Hey, Mag" She greeted as soon as Magnus opened the door before wandering in the apartment settling on the couch.

"Sophia, What are you doing here?" He asked frowning as he closed the door with a flick of his wrist before sitting back on his chair that was in front of the couch.

"Simon and Clary are going together to Alec's wedding, I'm fighting with my mother so here sounded like a good idea to drink this" She explained as she took a swig of the bottle after resting on it looking at Magnus sideways.

He sighed nodding going back to the book that was in his hand, she pursed her lips watching the warlock, "If I'm bothering you, I can leave" She stated looking down at her fingers.

Magnus sighed shaking his head, "No, snowpea. You're always welcome here" He said with a smile before returning back to the book at hand.

After a while, Sophia sat on the couch watching Magnus, "I can help" She offered with a smile tilting her head unsure of Magnus' reaction.

He raised his eyebrows at her, "Do you know anything about spells?" He inquired as she shrugged, "No? But I know you put a one on me" She answered.
