Still haven't managed to buy or steal Alec and Magnus, so here it is,
I (Sadly) do not own the characters, the brilliant and stingy Cassandra Clare has full rights to these beautiful characters! As always, if you read this story! REVIEW! It is impossiblt to grow without criticism, and advice! Also it it super encouraging! As always my Alec is book Alec, black hair, blue eyes and shorter than Magnus.
Much love! (P.s this is future slash/boylove/shounenai however you understand it. Not your thing? Don't read! You have been warned)
When Alec prepared to leave the house that morning, he wasn't sure what to expect.
He was excited albeit a bit nervous. Today was the kids first day of Idris High, and he didn't know what to expect. His family tended to move around a lot, downside of having two parents with high end careers. They traveled where the money was, and their children were dragged along and left to adjust on their own. Alec always took care of enrollment and his parents would just sign without question everything he brought to them.
"Jace, seriously, if you don't exit the bathroom right this instant I will kick down the door!" Ah, lovely, lovely Isabelle, her hatred for mornings was rivaled by one only, their brother Jace. Although Alec found it a bit ironic Izzy and Jace shared that trait since Jace was adopted.
As for himself, mornings were the best time of day. As an early riser, he was able to fit in the little bit of alone time he needed to function. Being the caretaker of the house and his siblings he didn't find himself having much downtime, or alone time. There was school, sports, clubs, cooking, cleaning and then his own homework to be done daily. Including Making sure Max kept on his homework as well. Some days it was exhausting and he didn't think he could keep it up, but his sibling were his world. The best things in his life, so he would grit his teeth and trudge on during the harder days.
He had developed a system of sorts, he would wake up early, around 5 am. It gave him time to get ready for school (An impossible feat when Izzy was awake) and he was able to drink his necessary morning coffee in peace. Once he was ready to go, and his mind halfway awake, he would wake up Jace. A hard job, but seeing as there was no one else, the job fell on him. Once Jace was awake and not attempting to kill him, he went for Max. Lastly, came Isabelle.
Jace had questioned Alec's system only once in his life, and in retaliation Alec had woken Izzy up at the same time. After asking if he could use the bathroom, and almost getting burned by the hair straightener Izzy had thrown at him, he had retreated and joined a very smug, peaceful looking Alec.
"Never again will I doubt you Alec. Always wake me up first, I promise not to complain!"
Of course that promise lasted until the end of that day. He was a bear the next morning, but at least he never doubted Alec's plans again.
Pulled from his musings, he followed the sound of his siblings bickering down the hall and saw with some amusement Isabelle violently kicking the door. The absence of sound from Jace seemed to just be making her angrier.
"What on earth is going on here? " Alec tried to keep his voice neutral... the last thing he needed was Izzy turning on him, Jace at least had a door between him and her wrath.
Turning frustrated black eyes up to meet blue, Izzy looked about ready to murder who ever was available.
"That... that moron! He has been in the bathroom all morning! I have 30 min to get ready Alec! 30 min! that's not enough time! GET HIM OUT" Her voice had raised up several decimals over the course of her sentence. Alec tried not to smile.
"Have you asked what is wrong with him? Or did you just jump straight too abusing the poor door?" Her glare was un-amused. Throwing his hands up warily, Alec backed up a few steps and addressed the aforementioned door.
"Hey Jace, what's up? You about done in there?" A muffled moan was all the answer he got. Now worried, Izzy met Alec's eyes. "If you don't come out I'm kicking in the door!" This time the threat was voiced in a worried tone instead of angry, all irritation lost at the thought that something could be wrong with her brother. A rush of affection filled Alec, his sister was fierce but she was protective of her siblings.
The door cracked open finally, admitting a slightly pale Jace. His skin which usually gave off a golden glow, was almost as pale as Alec's, that was saying something about his state of health.
"I'm feeling better now, no help to our Pterodactyl " He sent a half hearted glare towards his younger sister "I woke up feeling Nauseous, and my head is killing me, but I haven't actually been able to throw up"
He stepped out allowing Izzy access to the bathroom, ignoring his gesture, she instead reached out and placed her hand on Jace's forehead "Well you do feel a bit warm, but not terribly. Does your throat or stomach hurt?" At Jace's negative head shake, she seemed to relax a bit. "Well If you aren't planning to die at the moment, I'm going to get ready for school as quickly as I can" She dashed into the bathroom slamming the door. Her brother was fine, but her hair and face needed her!
"Here come with me, I'll see what medicine we have. Do you think you need to stay home today or are you ok to attend school with Iz and I?" As he spoke, Alec gently pulled Jace towards the kitchen, guiding him into a seat.
Jace rested his head in his hand and watched the tall black haired boy sift through the cupboards searching for the right medicine.
"I will be ok, I don't want to miss my first day. Clary would kill me after all, and I don't want any other guys to see her today and assume she is available. I have a reputation to maintain, and being out sick day one doesn't seem very tough if you ask me" Alec snorted but decided not to grace that comment with a reply. Instead he pulled a bottle out of the cupboard and returned to the kitchen table.
"Here, this has aspirin, it's technically a headache relief, but It always works wonders for my migraines when they come. Take some, and relax on the couch. I will call you when it is time to go, alright? " Handing Jace three pills and a glass of water, he watched as Jace threw the pills back and drained the whole glass of water. Satisfied he would be ok, Alec took of to look for Max.
He didn't have to search far, his youngest sibling was curled up on his bed reading the newest Noragami manga he had obtained from Clary, who was also into the picture books. Alec didn't understand their fascination with the manga's but he was a book worm so he could at least appreciate it. Give him a good old fashioned soft back any day and he was happy.
"I know I don't even need to ask but, are you ready?" When Max barely looked up from his manga to nod yes, Alec smiled and turned to exit the room.
His brother was independent at 9 and laid back, much like the eldest Lightwood. It made Alec's life a bit easier knowing he had at least one sibling who was a self sufficient morning person.
Heading back to the kitchen, he set a cup of coffee out for Izzy to grab on her way out the door, and warmed up some pop-tarts for Jace and Max. Izzy wouldn't eat them, being extremely self conscious about her weight and what she ate, despite the fact that she was slim by nature.
Glancing at the clock he noticed it was 7:28 They needed to leave in two minuets if they wanted to make it to school by 8:15. Alec refused to be late their first day.
"Get a move on, I am leaving in two minuets, anyone not in the car gets left behind!" He shouted up the stairs, confident Jace could hear him from the couch, grabbed his keys, jacket and coffee before heading out the door to warm the car up. Sliding into the front seat, he pushed the start button and relaxed, sipping his coffee, and watching the front door for the whirlwind that was his siblings exiting the building. He smiled as he watched Max expertly maneuver their porch and steps with his head still stuck in the book. Shortly after him came Jace followed by an amused looking Izzy. She said something to Jace, and he rolled his eyes, retorting something that caused Izzy to laugh. Together they piled into the car still laughing.
"Everyone ready? Alright. Well, here is to a new school, and a new life. " He knew his nerves showed in his voice no matter how he tried to sound confident. He wasn't a fan of crowds, or meeting new people. Leaning forward, Izzy squeezed his shoulders.
"We've got this big brother, after all, we are Lightwoods! We aren't afraid of anything!" Jace whooped in support Izzy joining in, Alec couldn't resist the answering the smile that broke across his face... Together. They would be fine. They always were.
From the backseat came an annoyed voice "I know you guys are all insane and loud, but some of us aren't and those 'someones' are trying to read. Please Shut up"
Glancing at each other all three teenagers laughed even harder, much to Max's annoyance.
Still laughing, the Lightwoods arrived for their first day of school, together.
(Alright! Should I keep going with this story? This is going to be a high school Malec fic if I keep writing it. I know there are lots of stories like this out there, but this is completely new to me. Thoughts and reviews appreciated!)
