DISCLAIMER: Trigger Warning.
I don't own any of these characters.
I love Jonathan's character in the Mortal Instruments books but it was green eyed Jonathan i had fallen in love with the idea of. He was the boy who never got to truly live and I have wanted to see what he was like just as a normal person. He goes through a lot of hardships but gets to find a way to keep living. He gets a chance to find his place and really be happy. There will be multiple chapters and i really hope to finish this fic.
Sebastian Verlac had been through many things in his 21 years of life, finding a family had been a thing he had long since given up. He hated being lonely but he was afraid of losing the little bit of happiness he had finally found. The Penhallows have been the only thing close to a real family Sebastian ever had. Jia and Patrick being the mother and father he had always hoped for. Their daughter, Aline, being the sister he never knew he wanted. They had saved him at the lowest point in his life. He was scared to tell them how grateful he really was. Scared that if he told them he cared for them as much as they cared for him, they would be taken away.
The dream of waking up in a warm bed, of sitting down together for a meal, of being comforted by a hug when his own mind threatened to push him back to his life 2 years ago; would all disappear and he would be back on the streets, or locked away in his mother's basement or being abused by his father again. How could he tell them he loved them when he was constantly lying about who he was?
His somber, green eyes stung with the threat of tears at the thought of them turning him away if they knew who he really was. Maybe that's why he kept his pale blond hair dyed black. There was no room for Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern in his life now. Jonathan was long dead now, another lie he liked to tell himself. His past and name liked to haunt him even know. As long as Sebastian lived so did Jonathan.
