fic: things I never wanted to know - Jalex
Title: Things I Never Wanted to Know
Fandom: Wizards of Waverly Place
Warning: nothing that I can think of that's not obvious by the pairing
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Pairing: Justin/Alex
Summary: "I didn't want to look at your brain! There's a lot of scary stuff in there!" Spoilers for Family Game Night
She couldn't look at her best friend directly for nearly a week after the little magic mishap.
She grown accustomed to how Alex could bend nearly anyone around her little finger, how she was capable of extreme selfishness and destruction, and how she seemed uncaring of anything not directly related to her. That was the Alex Russo she knew; but getting into the dark wizard's head, literally, left her with far more knowledge than she ever desired.
She didn't notice anything unusual at first; just skimming the dark thoughts of her long time friend, and trying to focus on finding how the body worked. But when Justin, beautiful wonderful dreamy Justin, put his hand on her best friend's shoulder and spoke directly to her, Harper, she took the strange flip in her stomach to be her own feelings. The jealousy coursing through her veins when he asked her to meet his girlfriend was familiar, but the thoughts accompanying the pounding her veins, the thoughts of all the uses of magic she could use to make the girl disappear, was not; they were darker, meaner, and Alex flavored.
When the Russos began yelling, voices rising and anger brought fourth, Harper stays silent, flashes of her own parents fleeting through her mind. Then Justin smiles, at who she's not sure, could be her or Alex, but the images come unbidden. There's no her in them, no Harper at all. There's mingled breath and tangled limbs with slow kisses and nails digging into sun kissed skin, and she knows.
She had retreated, allowed the wizard to take control in order to find the proper spell to get her back, safe, in her own body; away from the half formed thoughts and strangely familiar desire.
It took one week for her to be able to look at Alex again, one week to learn to except that her best friend and she shared something other than gender, one week to move on and accept it. She thinks she did fairly well.
