Drabble: In the End
Fandom: The Mortal Instruments
Pairing: Magnus/Alec, Alec/others
Prompt: It took a little while, a lot of booze and a lot more faceless one night stands, but Alec finally got over Magnus. And then, one night he got turned into a vampire against his will. And then they met after 200 years of not seeing each other. And they fell in love with each other all over again.
15 years after COLS…
Alec sat up, the limp weight of his pick up for the night falling away. He barely even glanced at the arm and hand that was attached as he stood and moved across the room to pick up his pants. Once the pants were pulled on he picked up the bottle of wine that was sitting on the dresser and took a deep swallow. The taste was bitter, the wine much too close to being room temperature, he winced but swallowed it anyway. Running a hand through his hair, Alec glanced in the mirror. The man that was reflected was not the man he had ever thought he would become… hair unkempt and dirty, dark circles under his eyes that seemed to stay no matter how much sleep he got (which was always too much or never enough) and a body that he thought was much too skinny.
Shaking his head, Alec picked up his shirt, sliding it over his head. Next came his jacket and with it the small book that he kept in the pocket. It wasn’t much bigger than his hand, a perfect size for his pocket. The black cover was faded and ratty around the edges. Alec opened the book to the page that was marked by the tiny pencil he kept there. Under the twenty or so other names that were written on the two pages Alec added another name to the list.
Eric
Taking one last swallow of the wine he left the bottle sitting on the dresser and made his way out the door. In the doorway he paused and looked back at Eric’s sleeping form. ‘They’re never as good as him,’ he thought.
