Hey, this is my first Malec fanfiction (or any fanfiction, for that matter) so please give it a chance. The first few chapters aren't great so just bare with it. The prologue has little to do with the plot, its just there to show the kind of relationship Alec has with his family so there will be a lot more drama later on.
Review as you go along!
Prologue: We know you are gay and it's okay!
Twelve year old Alexander Gideon Lightwood had his good days and he had his bad days. Today had been his school football team's last match of the season and even though his team had won with him scoring the first and last goal, it was one of his bad days.
His ever so loving parents, Robert and Maryse Lightwood, had refused to drive him home after his football match even though it was both their day off from work. His ever so supportive siblings, Isabel, Jace and Max Lightwood, had refused to attend his football match even though they had nothing better to do. And to top it all off, he was going home to have to deal with his only and most annoying cousins, Sebastian and Aline Penhallow, as their parents were going on a business trip and needed a place to stay for a week. This is not going to end well, Alec thought. Though family was everything to Alec, he was unfortunate enough to have the most exciting role in the Lightwood house hold; the responsible one.
Alec was pulled out of his thoughts as the bus he had been waiting thirty minutes for came to a sudden stop right in front of him. He showed the paunchy bus driver with dirty short blond hair and a grubby uniform his bus pass and walked to the very back of the bus to take a window seat, isolating himself from the wandering eyes of the other passengers.
The behaviour of his family was very odd that morning when he was leaving for football practice before the actual game, well, more so than usual. It was as if they were hiding something, or at least knew something he didn't. His thoughts were disturbed as he heard something hit the window repeatedly. "Great, it just had to rain," Alec mumbled to himself at the thought of walking home in the pouring rain as the bus did not stop exactly at his door step.
"Thank you," he yelled at the bus driver as he got off the bus and was welcomed by the rain and cold.
Great, just great. It had to rain today of all days, Alec thought as he made his way to the towering metal gates that were the entrance to his home. He put in the code needed for the gates to open, a security measure the Lightwood parents insisted on since you never know when the thieves would decide to rob the rich part of New York.
Finally, Alec got to the door of his home with some difficulty as the bags he was carrying containing his normal clothing obstructed the use of his hands. He dropped everything in his hand in order to look for the house keys in his football uniform. It wasn't until he went inside with his dark raven hair and pale body dripping wet from the rain did he notice how unusually quiet the Lightwood home was. The house was always full of life with his little siblings running amok everywhere.
"Mom, dad? I'm home!" Alec shouted to test his theory of his family probably being out.
"In here honey!" He heard his mum shout back from the living room so he made his way there making his victory at the match known.
"We won the match mum! I scored the-" Alec started but stopped when he saw that every member of his family was gathered around the living room, all with cupcakes with what seemed like rainbow coloured icing in their hands. There was a big banner over their heads that had bold delicate writing that was probably the work of his brother Jace saying: 'Alec-tervention' in red while a messier writing in blue that was probably his sister's was underneath, reading: 'We know you are gay and it's okay!'
After reading this, Alec looked at his family with a shell-shocked expression as they all shouted "We know you're gay and it's okay!" with a few giggles from his siblings and cousins. Alec looked at each and every one of his family's faces and they all had an accepting smile that dissipated all of Alec's wrongly placed worries of family rejection and being on his own. He was even happy to see his cousins were supporting. He finally took a better look at his surroundings and noticed there was food everywhere. His family refused to attend his football match, simply to throw him a coming out party he didn't know about.
Alec tried his hardest to hide his surprise, to no avail. He opened his mouth to say something but everyone in the room ran to him and engulfed him in a big family hug he was sure he would never forget.
Twelve year old Alexander Gideon Lightwood had his good days and he had his bad days. And while today had started with a lot of unpleasant events, it ended up to be one of his many favourite family moments.
Reviews are love so tell me what you think.
