my demons are begging me to open up my mouth

     she knew all that sleepiness was unnatural – they were purposefully keeping her asleep most of the time to make sure her healing process was going faster as she rested more but no medication in the world could keep her from picking up her brother’s voice even in her half-unconscious state so her eyelashes fluttered open, revealing ocean blues. “ someone once said, ” she paused, feeling the need to take a breath to continue. “ life is not fair. ” she mumbled idly, a smile on her face as she weakly tightened her fingers between his.

       a long-lasting laugh escaped the shadowhunter’s mouth with the reaction she received.  “  you should’ve     you should’ve seen your face.  ”  she replied in between her laughter.  “  it was absolutely priceless.  ”  finally being able to soothe herself, she shook her head, sitting on the bed next to him.  “  it’s the middle of the night for you. for me, it’s a pretty reasonable time to come here and bother you.  ”  shrugging her shoulders, alex continued.  “  i don’t know, i guess i wanted to spend some time with you. would you die if you didn’t get your beauty sleep ?  ” 

     the fact that it was so easy to enter hotel dumort, especially ever since the pairs system started, made the shadowhunter very glad. because if things weren’t this way, she wouldn’t be in the room alaric stayed right now, leaning into his ear and getting ready to annoy the hell out of him. everything was pretty quiet, all the vampires were asleep, after all & she had a silence rune      well, that was until alex shouted  “  LARRY !!  ”  very, very loudly into her bond partner’s ear.

     “ i’d rather have her around to torture me than not at all, truthfully. ” adrian said with such honesty that was reserved for only a handful of friends he had and surely, alaric was one of them. in some sense, the vampire felt like the much younger one understood him. it was a strange friendship, to say the least, but it was born from similarities. at his question, adrian’s jaw clenched for a moment; not at the other man but at what happened. “ she found out what i am. ” he basically explained, gaze slowly turning to fall upon the other. “ i believe the rest of the story is clear. ”

     once he put her down, she had a big smile on her face, looking up at her brother as she basically radiated happiness. unable to hold back a chuckle, she shook her head. “ i wish. but no. ” taking a deep breath, she then took a moment studying his face, slowly raising her hand, the diamond ring bright under the street light. “ he proposed. ”

     seeing him approaching the spot they had agreed to meet at, elena quickly jumped on her feet, not even waiting for him to reach her as she made her way towards him and met him halfway, immediately attacking him with a hug. “ ric ! ” she exclaimed, giving him a bright smile as she pulled away from the hug. “ you won’t believe what happened. ” 

     “ charlotte. ” he said, taking another sip of his blood. shaking his head, she lowered the glass first, swirling the blood in it a bit moving the glass a bit. “ never fall in debt with a bloody stubborn woman. ” he said with a sigh, then raised his eyebrows at the other’s claim, trying his best not to roll his eyes over-dramatically. “ i’m pretty sure that certain redhead would rather i never left home. ” he said, tone growing serious. “ she avoids me. it won’t be a problem. ”

     listening to him, elena nodded her head, knowing that she really should shake the melancholy off herself. giving him a smile when he wiped a tear off her cheek she took a deep breath to compose herself again, looking at her brother. “ it does. ” she nodded again, giving him a brief hug before pulling away to wipe her cheeks properly, pulling herself back together. “ enough of all this, yeah ? ” she asked, a small smile on her face. “ we should - we should do something. we can’t waste our day away like this, right ? ”
