Two Flies With one Stone: |Part 1| |Part 2| |Part 3| Your rest and recuperation lasted over two

Two Flies With one Stone: |Part 1| |Part 2| |Part 3| Your rest and recuperation lasted over two months, as the wound wouldn’t heal and close, causing a dangerous infection. Magnus had to be called in the middle of the night, his magical herbs and incantations saving your life once more. Izzy was helping prepare invitations for the wedding, making arrangements for the flowers and guest list. All in secret, as Maryse hadn’t been informed yet. Most of the time you had barely any energy to eat let alone suggest who should be sat at what table, but she wasn’t deterred. It was Izzy’s way of giving you the motivation to grow stronger. When Magnus said you were well enough to move, you insisted on sparring to gain back some of the muscle strength you had lost. Alec volunteered to make sure you wouldn’t get hurt.“I think this is a really bad idea.”You grab a pole off the stand and roll your eyes, “everything I do at this point is a bad idea, according to you. Even going to the bathroom alone.”“I-I just… I don’t want you getting hurt.”“Your hovering is absolutely adorable.”“Shut up.”His cheeks grow red and he straightens into a fighting pose, you attacking him immediately. Unlike your usual fighting style where you use stealth and distance to take down your enemies, you decide on a different approach to trick Alec.His pole hits your side and you double over in pain, holding onto your abdomen. Alec drops his training weapon and runs to you. At which time, you swipe his feet from underneath him. You point the end of the pole at him with a grin.“Like I said, absolutely adorable.”“You cheated.”“I did not. I tricked you, that’s different.”Someone clears their throat as you help Alec up, your eyes falling on Maryse. Since she announced Alec and Lydia’s marriage, you hadn’t spoken to her. And she didn’t attempt to seek you out either. Alec wraps a hand around your waist protectively, a notion that doesn’t escape his mother’s eyes.“I see you’re feeling better.”“Yes, much. Still not duty-able though…”“That’s fine,” Alec plants a kiss on your temple, “you don’t need to do any missions.”Maryse can see the loving bond shared between the two of you. How each would do anything for the other. Something she wanted to break up because she didn’t deem you worthy of the Lightwood name. It took months of resentment and arguments with her children for her to see that. “(y/n), do you mind if we speak? Alone?”“Erm, sure…?”Alec doesn’t want to let go of you as he watches his mother leave the training room. He feels your lips on his skin, reassuring him. You make your way after her to the courtyard where she sits down on a bench, surrounded by fragrant white and pink flowers. “It’s been some time since you’ve been outside, hasn’t it?”“Yeah… Magnus said I was okay to move around, but I had to be careful.”“Training isn’t being careful.”“That’s why Alec insisted on being my sparring partner, so I wouldn’t get hurt. The others have no tact or regard, he said.”She chuckles, looking at the flowers. Maryse pulls out a purple velvet box, your eyes observing her with mild amusement. You’ve never seen the woman so nervous before. “I know you said you didn’t want our family name. But I thought… You might reconsider that.”She opens the box to reveal a beautiful ring, adorned with blue diamonds in an intricate design. “It’s a family heirloom. To be given by the suitor to his or her betrothed. Even I know what true love looks like and I’m… I’m sorry for all the grief I’ve caused you.”She opens up your palm and slips the box into it, tears in her eyes.“Thank you for loving my boy, (y/n).”You wrap your arms tightly around her, a wide smile on your lips. Tears fall down both your cheeks in happiness. Izzy joins her brother in spying on his fiance and his mother, conversing about who knows what with wide smiles on your faces.“Your possessiveness is rearing its teeth, big brother.”“Shut up. I’m just worried…”“Don’t be… Mother finally saw the error of her ways. She even helped me made the guest list.”Suggested by @rennyd-26.  -- source link
