Hey guys! This chapter is inspired by my latest operation (I had my wisdom teeth removed) and I based this story off of my experience...or what I remember of it.
The chapter will be light and humorous. I hope everyone enjoys. There will be a little OOC from Alec, but it's only the drugs talking.
Enjoy and let the reviews come in!
Requests are welcomed.
~Clary~
"But I'm fine! I don't need to go!"
Clary glares at her boyfriend. Normally, Alec wouldn't be so childish, but she has discovered that the eldest Lightwood wants to take no part in anything that involves a doctor.
Clary brings her bag over her shoulder. "Alec, you have to go before it gets worse." As far as Clary knew, Shadowhunters were protected from things such as illnesses and diseases. With the right Runes, they seemed to live their lives without having anything worse than a cold. She recently thought that it involved dental health, but she was proved wrong.
Alec came complaining of a tooth ache some weeks ago. Clary watched as he begrudgingly went to the Shadowhunter's equivalent of a dentist. Alec came back announcing that he'd have to have his wisdom teeth removed.
"I'll live with the pain. Clare, don't make me go!" Alec whines.
"We're going to be late for your appointment if you don't stop," Clary says. She takes Alec's hand and tugs him to the lobby where Jace and Isabelle would help transport Alec to the hospital where the procedure would take place. "You're not going to feel it. They're putting you to sleep."
"I won't know what they're doing?" Alec asks worriedly.
"I had my wisdom teeth removed and I'm here to tell about it," Clary says. She clearly remembers the horrible videos her mother and Luke took of her because she was so strung out on the medicine they gave her. Clary doesn't remember it happening, but Luke and Jocelyn didn't care to show videos of her crying and pointing to the "purple monster" that was her jacket.
She hopes Alec isn't that bad.
Alec huffs, walking alongside Clary downstairs. Clary pats his hands reassuringly, leading him to where Jace and Isabelle patiently wait for them.
Jace smiles. "Ready to get your jaw ripped off?"
"What?!" Alec asks.
Clary glares at Jace. "Don't tell him that. He has been a nervous wreck all morning."
"Sorry," Jace says. "I was joking."
"Be more considerate! You're not the one getting your teeth ripped from your skull," Isabelle snaps.
Clary had to drag Alec outside- involuntary, that is- to her car.
…
Alec sits in the chair with wide eyes.
Clary pats his hand soft, waiting for the doctors to send her off. So far, the process has gone smoothly. They've hooked Alec to an IV and all the necessary steps to get him prepped for the surgery.
"It's too late to back out, isn't it?" Alec asks mournfully.
"Yes," Clary responds softly. "You're going to be fine, Ally. You won't feel a thing."
Alec sighs nervously. "I'll take your word for it. But, if I don't survive, I'm coming back from the grave to haunt you."
Clary rolls her eyes. "You're going to be fine. It won't be no more than an hour and we'll be ready to go." She smiles at Alec and leans forwards, kissing him softly on the lips.
Pulling away, she brushes Alec's dark hair from his eyes. "They're going to get you in a moment. I'm going to wait with Jace and Isabelle."
Alec nods. "See you soon?"
"See you soon," Clary confirms as a brown haired nurse marked with Runes steps through the door to collect her shaken boyfriend.
…
She waits a while with Jace. Isabelle had gone off somewhere- something about a hot blonde in a cast and how he couldn't get away.
An hour passes when they're called back to see Alec. A nurse smiles at them and motions them forwards.
"Is he okay?" Clary asks.
The nurse nods. "Alexander is just fine. The operation went well, but he's still a little woozy from the medication given." She launches into a list of side effects of the medicine- hysterics, hallucinations, confusion. The list goes on as they walk back to the room where she sees Alec.
Clary sits next to her brooding boyfriend. "Hey, Ally. How are you feeling?" She strokes his hair softly, hoping he won't do anything totally crazy while he's coming off the medication.
Alec looks up at her. Then, he looks down to his arm. "'Ey chopped my frigin' arm off." His speech is muffled from the gauze packed in his mouth and the drugs clearly have slurred his speech.
"No, Alec," Clary says. "You still have your arm." She squeezes his hand, trying to prove that he still has his appendage.
Alec's eyes grow huge. "No, Care! You gonna get blood everywhere!"
Clary suppresses a chuckle, but Jace laughs. Alec's feelings suddenly change from anger to upset. "Not funny! How'd you 'eel if they chopped your arm off?! Look! All I got is a stub!"
"You have your arm," Clary says. "See? It's right here." She waves his arm before his face, hoping to calm him.
Alec sniffles, lifting his arm. He nods slightly, laying back against the chair. He falls silent, his blue hues taking in Clary. "Who are you?"
"That's your girlfriend," Jace says. The blonde holds a cell phone, recording the exchange for later. Alec would have their asses later when he sees this.
Alec looks up at her and smiles. "You're my girlfriend?"
Clary nods. She momentarily fears what Alec will say when the Shadowhunter smiles. "Good. 'Cause you're hot." His happy expression fades and he glowers at Jace. "'Ey, stop making 'oogly eyes at my girlfriend!"
Jace looks horrified by that. "Alec, that's my sister!"
"All tha' more reason to stop looking at her, sick-o!" Alec says angrily. "You can go chase after that walking disco ball. He seems like a good time."
Clary can't help but burst out into laughter. She knows without a doubt that he's talking about Magnus. "Alexander, be nice. You need to apologize."
Alec just pouts and mumbles under his breath. Clary looks at Jace who is still recording, smiling vibrantly.
Alec will be pissed when he sees the video.
