Pairing: Alec & Embry
MEMORIES
Alec brushed away the tears that gathered around Embry's eyes, a tender look in his light red eyes. He had been drinking animal blood for the past month or so, just for Embry. And what they'd never have.
Alec definitely had strong feelings for Embry. The young Quileute shape-shifter who had claimed his stone heart with his tales and merry personality. A boy who shouldn't even want to be in the proximity as such monster.
Jane and Alec had arrived at the private jet that would escort them to Forks just a few minutes after Aro had given his consent. Embry had been anguished, and Jasper had felt the brunt impact of it. Needless to say, said vampire was quite annoyed with Alec.
No words were shared between them. Alec understood Embry just as Embry understood Alec. Alec was one side of the coin while Embry was the other. Forever together, never apart.
The flight to Forks was uneventful and rather dull. Embry had refused to fall asleep, clutching at Alec's hand desperately. But after a while, Jane, bored, had grabbed the hand Alec had been using to stroke Embry's rather short hair, and led him to a table, dragging a grumpy Embry behind.
Jane had demanded they play chess, their usual form of entertainment during rather long and dull flights. It was almost like a tradition.
So Alec had agreed, much to the discomfort of Embry. Alec sensed this, and had asked Felix to move the couch right next to the table, and sat Embry on the comfortable sofa once again.
Seated right next to his mate, Alec had returned to the task at hand : amusing and entertaining his sister.
It was safe to say that Alec and Jane were pretty evenly matched in wit and intelligence, but Alec had a much calmer and calculative personality and patience, over all, while Jane made rash and abrupt decisions.
Their match was very eventful, unlike Alice and Edward's. They had no upper hand, no ability that would allow them to see their decisions or read their minds. Simple wit. Sometimes, Alec had the upper hand, and then, Jane was winning. It was entertaining to watch, and soon Alice forgot her initial apprehension and came to watch.
In the end, though, Alec won. Jane had made a wrong move with her queen, leaving the king undefended and vulnerable, and Alec, seizing the chance, swooped in and check mate! He won.
Embry cheered and Alec smiled up at him. Even slouched, Embry was still taller than him. It was frustrating…
Embry gently fell asleep with the sensation of Alec's cool arms around him and his hand lightly brushing his hair away from his eyes.
