I've decided to jump on the Kit/Ty ship and write them a fanfiction.
Let me know if there is anything you want to see in the following chapters, or what you thought of this chapter by leaving a review.
I own nothing but the plot.
Life was confusing. One minute, life was the same as it had been your entire life, next minute, your father is dead having been killed by some demons, only for you to learn that he's been lying to you your entire life. I had grown up as Kit Rook, a mundane with the sight but apparently I'm a Shadowhunter going by the name of Christopher Herondale. As soon as Julian and Emma had arrived at the Institute I'd run inside, found an empty room and had hidden, ignoring everyone's attempt to get me to come out and talk. I think they gave up after a while, which was fine by me. I wanted nothing to do with them. I'd been sitting in the room a few hours when I was vaguely aware of someone sitting outside the door. They made no effort to talk to me, so I made no effort to find out who it was. As it turned out I didn't have to wait long to find out who they mystery person was, as I heard voices talking outside.
"Ty he doesn't want to talk to us, you're wasting your time sitting outside his room" said a voice which I'm sure belonged to Julian. Ty? As in short for Tiberius? As in the guy who held a knife to my throat? He was sitting outside my room. Why? "I want to. He's lost everything, and had his world turned upside down. You're all expecting him to just shrug what happened off and accept it, but he needs time too. I'm letting him know there's someone here for him, but I'm not going to push myself on him like the rest of you are" Ty responded with. There was a pause and Julian seemed to be taking in what had just been said. "Aren't you going to get bored sitting here on your own?" he eventually asked. Ty didn't event hesitate in answering. "I have Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to keep me company" he responded. Julian seemed to realise he was fighting a losing battle and Ty wasn't going to move anywhere. "Suit yourself" he said, then I heard him walk away.
Over the next few days, I only opened my door to retrieve the food that was left outside my door. From what I heard, Ty would spend all day every day sitting outside my door. Like he had said to Julian that first day, he made no effort to push himself on me, or get me to just brush off the events of that day off, instead he was letting me adapt, and let me know someone was there. It helped, it really did. One day, I decided to reward his waiting so once I knew there was no one else outside, I opened the door and stood in the corridor next to him. He looked at me and blinked a couple of times "hi" he said simply. No patronizing "oh so you've decided to grace us with your presence" or a sympathetic "feeling better?" just a simple hi. I decided that Ty wasn't like the other Shadowhunters, so I decided to like him. "Do you want to come in? Change of scenery from the corridor?" I asked. Ty smiled, and closed the book he was reading and followed me into the room.
Once we were in the room, things were a little awkward. It was Ty that spoke first "I'm sorry that I held a knife to your throat, and I'm sorry your life has gotten so messy. The others aren't as bad as they seem. Give them time" he said. I smiled then. "I'd forgiven you about the knife incident as soon as it happened. As for the other stuff, it wasn't your fault what happened" I said simply. It was true. "What are the other's like anyway?" I asked, sitting on the bed. Ty sat next to me, and began talking. "Julian's nice, but since we began orphans after the war, and Helen got exiled and Mark gotten taken by the wild hunt, he became more of a parent than a brother. We're getting used to having Mark back, he's changed since he's been away. He means no harm. Emma is Julian's parabatai, and is constantly on the go, and doesn't have a stop button and is on a mission to avenge her parents. Livvy is my twin and although we get on, she can be a bit clingy. She wants us to be parabatai but I don't. Dru is quite and is super self-conscious of her body but doesn't realise there is nothing wrong with it. Tavvy is the baby of the family. Uncle Arthurs odd, but we rarely see him" he finished. It felt a lot to take in.
We talked for a bit more, and I found out Ty liked listening to music and reading detective books, his favourite detective being Sherlock Holmes, because he reminded Ty of himself. When I asked why, it was because Sherlock was clever, and didn't like being in the company of others, only letting a select few in. When Ty started to ask about me, I found myself shrugging saying "I don't know who I am anymore" which caused him to give an understanding nod. "You'll find yourself again. Take your time". We fell into a silence after that. Ty soon left as it was time for him and the rest of the institute to eat. He asked if I would like to come, but I shook my head. He decided not to push it, and closed the door behind him.
