Chapter Text
Izzy wasn’t blind, nor was she a fool. For you would have to be both to not see the change in Alec.
It wasn’t an overnight change she observed. It was slow and gradual. It was like the first rays of sunshine gleaming through the cracks of a well worn stone. Always there, slowly creeping, growing till it over powered the steadfast anchor at its very core. Magnus was Alec’s brightness. He was so irrevocably right for Alec, he didn’t just complete Alec. He lit up his entire being, set a flame to the failing embers of a light battling against everything to stay upright.
She saw how no one could turn a blind eye to the love that infused the air when they were in close proximity to each other. It ensnared the senses and held you captive. She knew all of this.
Yet she was still left in absolute wonder after she witnessed the events of earlier today.
Alec, Jace and her had gone to investigate a group of demons that had supposedly been reeking havoc on the neighbourhood. They had gone expecting a few at most but had been left surprised when there was a group of around thirty. There wasn’t time to call for back up. So they each fought together like three pieces of puzzle fitting together almost seamlessly. They emerged victorious but each of their bodies covered in bruises and blood.
They arrived at the institute and Izzy saw how Alec’s face was upturned in a frown and how it screamed exhaustion. She knew he was upset because a demon had managed to hurt her and Alec being the big overprotective brother he was, felt responsible for not protecting her. She knew that none of her insistence and pleading that she was fine would remove the frown from him face. She knew she’d have to give him space for a bit before he came around and hugged her like he always did.
So it surprised her immensely when Magnus portaled in to the institute and Alec’s eyes locked with his. The tiredness and exhaustion seemed to disperse into thin air and a smile graced Alec’s lips as he looked at Magnus. They both stared enraptured by each other’s presence before encapsulating the other in a tight hug that screamed I’m okay. I’m here and...don’t scare me like that. I love you.
She was left in complete awe of what Magnus’ presence could do to Alec. How all his worries seemed to make them scarce when they were in each other presence and it warmed her to the core.
She watched on as they greeted each other with a kiss of passion and muttered against each other lips “I love you”.
Her heart bursting with the happiness she felt for her brother. The happiness that consumed her as she watched and saw two people so perfect for each other that nothing would ever be able to stand in the way of their overwhelming love.
She knew that no one would ever be as right for each other as those two and she thanked her lucky stars everyday for giving Magnus in their life to complete and save Alec.
