Hello! I am so sorry about the sudden disappearance but school just started and senior year is surprisingly hard. I have been rushing trough assignments and applications and finally found some time tonight. The schedule is gonna be a bit screwed up for a while but I will try my best to not take any other long breaks. By the way Will is one of my favorite characters and I want him to form a relationship with all the others, so that's why he has been appearing so often. Thanks for the support and any reviews, likes of follows are appreciated. Lots of love !

Alec's point of view

Alec rushed back into the room, guilt already eating him away. Magnus was sitting in the same armchair his head turned away from him, but Alec knew the pain that must be in his eyes. Mentioning his step father had been a low blow. It shocked Alec that he had even said it, especially since he hadn't even meant to, but the words had been out of his mouth before he could stop them.

Alec closed the door behind him and crossed to Magnus, falling to his knees and resting his head in Magus's lap.

"I'm an idiot, please forgive me. " Magnus didn't answer instead he stood up and went to open the door. Alec scrambled to his feet, rushing to Magnus and grabbing his hand, but the warlock sent a wave of energy that threw Alec against the wall. Tears were at Alec's eyes but he didn't deserve to act like the victim so he held them back, getting back on his feet.

"The future is unpredictable. Yet I would have never imagined that I would be so ignorant to get involved with someone who would use my weakness as a petty comeback. Do not touch me again Alexander, nor should you speak to me. I have lost all interest in you."

There was ice in Magus's voice as he spoke and blue flames danced across his fingers. He walked out, leaving behind a stupefied shadowhunter.

Alec put on the clothes that had been left by the door, struggling with all the fabric and feeling extremely uncomfortable afterwards but too depressed to care. He left his room and spent the next 10 minutes trying to find a way back to the living room until he finally bumped into William.

For a second they just stood there, both wallowing in their despair. To someone who had known them for a long time the similarities were fewer. Alec's eyes were a deeper blue, William was slightly taller, Alec had softer features, Wiliaml had a longer nose, Alec's hair was messier and longer, William had arrogance in every movement compared to Alec's elegance. William threw him a mile and leaned against the wall, letting his arms cross against his chest.

" It seems I disrupted your reunion." A smirk formed on Willam's face, Alec simply shrugged.

"If ever there was someone who looked like they needed a drink, it would be you. Come, let's take a drink and forget our sorrow. " William turned with a flourish and began to walk down the passage Alec had just come from. Alec hesitated for a moment before following his look alike, deciding that he very much needed a drink. They reached a small room after a couple turns and after William opened the door they walked in. Alec squinted against the darkness, reaching for his witchlight and bringing it up just as William lit a candle.

They were in a small bar, a table at its center and bottles on a shelf against the left wall. William picked two bottles and offered one to Alec, who gratefully received it and opened it. The smell was strong, yet Alec couldn't quite identify the smell, still he tipped the bottle and took a long drink. The alcohol burned his throat but he continued to drink until the bottle was snapped from his hands by William.
"There is no urgency, at that rate you will be drunk before you finish the bottle." Alec ignored him and took the bottle again taking a long drink. He put the bottle down and smirked at the look of amusement in Williams eyes.

"I am an idiot." Alec slumped against the chair he was sitting in, taking another long drink of the bottle.

"Yes well all Lightwood's are idiots." William said, leaning against his chair and taking a slow drink from his bottle.

"Me more than others. I somehow managed to ruin a relationship 200 years before it started. " A strange look crossed Williams face but Alec was too distracted to recognize it for what it was, envy.

"You are not wrong, you are an idiot. Just not for the reason you think you are ." Alec was almost finished with his bottle , William had only taken 3 small drinks.

"You have only lost something that never belonged to you. Even then you have someone waiting for you back in your time." Alec finished his bottle and snatch William's bottle taking a couple of drinks.

" You wouldn't understand." He finally said, and was surprised by the agonized laughter that came from William .

"I wouldn't know? I have known only two loves in my life and currently one is about to die and the other is forbidden. You on the other hand simply had a lover's quarrel. I have seen the way the blonde and you act, he is your parabatai. Imagine the pain you would feel if you knew he was soon going to die. That is the pain I am in." William seemed surprised at his own atburst and he cleared his throat taking the bottle from Alec and taking a sip.

"Believe me I know how that feels." Alec muttered, remembering the immense loneliness and pain he felt when Jace had momentarily died.

They stayed quiet for a while longer before Alec spoke up again.

" I will help you. Something tells me we will be here for a while, and if I can at least help you I won't feel so useless. We will find a way to save your parabatai. " William stared at him, clearly surprised.

"You are unlike any Lightwood I have ever met, you don't repulse me at first sight. Call me Will."

"Call me Alec."

They stayed there until they finished the bottle between them, a bond forming between the two, the first sign of a blooming friendship.
