Winter Love
Title: Winter Love
Pairing: Jace/Alec
Rating: PG
Summary: Alec remembers winter mornings with Jace. Angst
It was the quiet winter mornings that Alec cherished the most. When he would wake up to the crisp in air and the soft breath on his neck. He would close his eyes imagining that the rest of his life would be spent this way.
Jace would be next to him. Not quite holding him, but Alec was close enough to feel his partabai breathing, rhythmically like a soft melody or a beating heart.
Winter mornings and winter nights, when Jace would fall asleep in Alec’s bed after a tired day of demon hunting or training. He would complain about how his room was always the coldest but it almost always ended up with Jace’s head next to Alec’s pillow.
When Jace stopped coming in, Alec would sometimes lie awake, not hoping (he had given that up), but remembering. He would remember Jace’s soft snoring and how he hardly moved at all, almost as if he was being careful not to disturb Alec. He would remember the colour of Jace’s hair when the winter sun shone on him like a halo. It’s been said so many times before, but it’s true. Jace is an angel.
And sometimes, if Alec was lucky, he would catch the smell of Jace’s shampoo on the pillow next to him.
It was that, or nothing and Alec sometimes wondered if he could smell Jace’s shampoo at all or if he was only imagining it.

A/N: My first little fic for this fandom. I've loved this series since it first came out but never wrote for it for some reason. Anyways, let me know what you guys think! :)
