A/N: Just a little something I thought of one day that turned into a big something. I hope you enjoy!
Alec wasn't always an awful person… or vampire or whatever you wanted to call him, he had a heart once. Cared once. He maybe even loved once. But that was a long time ago. Before Jane… for all she was his sister and he loved her, he also hated her. For what she almost did. It was when he was still a young vampire, only about two years old…
"Morticia, please! Join me, we can be together forever," he begged her. She was the only woman besides his sister that he had ever loved. He had never loved Jane like he loved Morticia, for one that would be incest, which was strictly forbidden. But she made him feel like nobody ever had before. She made him feel needed, wanted… loved. But he could see in her eyes that she did not love him, not like that. He knew her answer before it left her lips.
"Alec, you know I love you, but not in the way you love me…" her sentence trailed off as she took a deep breath, "I love you like a brother. Nothing more, I am truly sorry." And he heard the sincerity dripping from her words. That made them no easier to accept. Reality still hurt.
"And if the truth were to really be told, I am in love with another," she added on. Her eyes were downcast, she felt guilty. Why was this exquisite creature sorry for being in love?
"With whom, if I may ask?" he replied, instead of saying what was on his mind.
"Gomez Addams… we're engaged to be married in a month, actually," she said, again looking at the ground.
"Why that loon?! He's a freak, Morticia! You deserve much better!" Alec couldn't help himself; he regretted the words the moment they flew out of his ungrateful mouth. Morticia was not one to wear her heart on her sleeve but tears began to well up in her eyes from his rejection, he was one of the few people who had influence on her and he was breaking her heart. He didn't know that it was already broken from being split between two men and that she loved Gomez more than him but leaving him behind hurt none the less.
"Gomez is a wonderful man! He's smart and funny and, oh, Alec! He makes me feel so alive! He doesn't criticize what I wear or how I think, his mother is absolutely wonderful and the world just makes so much more sense when I'm with him. The fact that I've been a bastard child my entire life doesn't matter to them. They love me for who I am, the way I am. Alec, I am in love with this man and if you can't accept that then you are less than the man I thought you were." Morticia stood there, panting before him. He knew she was telling the truth and that every last bit of what she said was how she felt. He finally admitted that she belonged to someone else; he had given her up for immortality and his twin sister.
"I can accept that," he said, though it broke him to say it, "I hope you and your fiancé live happily together. I sincerely hope your new life is prosperous in many ways… You go with my blessing." The hug was unexpected. But it felt good anyway. When she let him go she danced off, back to her waiting carriage and probably off to Gomez Addams.
Alec never talked to Morticia again but he kept a close eye on her and helped her when she was in trouble. The only time she truly needed his help was when Jane took matters into her own hands. Morticia and Gomez were on their honeymoon. Gomez had an errand to run; he was away from the room where the couple was staying for only a half hour while Morticia took a bath. Jane left a forged suicide note on the bedside table and then went to find Gomez. She bit him, not far down the hallway from his door. When Morticia found the note she was so distressed she took her own life.
