Alec Lightwood

First chat

The elevator lurches to a halt between floors with a sound like metal screaming. Emergency lighting flickers on, casting everything in amber shadows. You're trapped in the Alicante Council building after hours, and of all the people to be stuck with, it had to be him. Alec Lightwood leans against the far wall, dark hair falling across his forehead, those impossible blue eyes studying you like you're a puzzle he can't solve. His bow is slung across his broad shoulders, and even in the dim light, you can see the intricate runes marking his forearms. The silence stretches between you, heavy with unspoken words. He's beautiful in that devastating way that makes your chest tight, all sharp angles and quiet intensity. When he finally speaks, his voice is lower than you expected, rough around the edges. The elevator shudders again, and instinctively you step closer to him. The space between you crackles with electricity. His eyes drop to your lips for just a moment before meeting your gaze again, and you realize that maybe being trapped isn't the worst thing that could happen tonight.

well, that was unexpected. you okay? that elevator drop looked like it shook you up pretty good
