Alec had been gone on 'official Clave business' all day and, considering you're a mundane and this business was taking place in Idris, you had not been allowed to go with him. So, of course, you had decided to blast some music whilst you cleaned yours and Alec's shared house in shorts and a tank top.
By the time the third song had come on, the mop had been forgotten about and you had started dancing to the songs as they came on, jumping around wildly. You were mid-way through singing along to Pretty Face by Public (linked above) when Alec entered the house, an amused look on his face
"Wow" he called over the music, "You really can't dance"
"Shut up!" You yell to him over the music, jumping onto the couch, mop handle in hand as you used it as a very large microphone, singing along to your favourite part of the song, "DO YOU KNOW HER? THE GIRL THAT LOOKS TO YOU. AND WOULD YOU KNOW HER? THE WAY THE SHE...LOVED...YOU!"
As you sang the last three words, you moved closer and closer to Alec, extending your hand to him, a pleading look in your eyes
"Oh no" he laughs, shaking his head vigorously, "I don't dance"
"Alec" you whine, pouting and pulling the puppy dog eyes on him, "Pleeeease?"
Alec only rolled his eyes, shrugging his jacket off and hanging it on the coat hanger, a fond smile spreading across his face as you shimmied, sashayed and hair flipped to the last few notes of the song before it, again, changed, this time to Roslyn by Bon Iver & St Vincent (linked below)
"Now this..." Alec beamed widely, taking your hand, and spinning you around in a gentle circle, "...I can dance too"
Before you can say anything, or convey your surprise that he was actually dancing with you, Alec spun you around again before pulling you close to him and begging to waltz with you, slow and gentle, his feet gliding to the beat, making no mistake whilst yours stumbled and tripped
"You waltz?" you ask, a tone of suppressed amusement and awe coating your words
"Yes, I waltz" Alec rolls his eyes, ignoring your semi-snide comment
"When did you learn to waltz?"
"Well, it wasn't really my choice" Alec sighed, quickly sidestepping your stumbling foot, "Mother made Izzy, Jace and I learn years ago"
"Why?" you question
"She's Maryse Lightwood"
You nod, knowing Maryse as well as you do, you definitely didn't need more information than that.
Suddenly, you let out a snort of laughter, imagining a younger Alec glaring disdainfully at the little girl he was partnered with, learning to waltz
"What's so funny?" Alec inquires, raising an eyebrow
"Nothing" you chuckle, "Just imagining you dancing with some snooty eight year old, being taught to waltz"
"Her name was Susannah Foxfair and she was awful" Alec recalls, "After I while I just drowned her droning out. I hated those dance classes. But now, with you, I think I could learn to be rather fond of it"
"Am I a better dancer than her?" you question, looking up at him
"No" Alec laughs shortly, "Definitely not. But you're way more beautiful"
"Oh, nice sweet talking there, Lightwood" you praise, chuckling as Alec picked up the pace, causing you only to stumble even harder, "You know, this is not the kind of dancing that works for me"
"I see that" Alec notes, "But you've got an amazing teacher so you'll be dancing like Kym Johnson in no time"
"I'm sorry, who?"
"Kym Johnson, the most famous Australian and world ballroom dancer"
"I'm sorry..." you mumbled, trying not to burst out laughing, "Are you, Alec grumpy-cat-I-am-so-tough Lightwood a closet ballroom dancer fan?"
"Don't judge!" Alec protests, just as your burst into laughter
"Oh, God, this is priceless" you giggle, "Do Izzy and Jace know?"
"No, they don't and I'd like to keep it that way" Alec warns and you smirk at him
"On one condition" you propose
"And that would be?"
"Teach me" you smile, taking his hands in yours and, this time spinning him around, having to stand on your tiptoes so your joint hand actually manage to go over his head
"That I can do"
And you did. For the following god knows how many hours, Alec taught you how to waltz, spinning and tripping and laughing all the while. However, before long, you got bored and grabbed the stereo remote, switching to Worth It by Fifth Harmony.
"My turn!" you sing, discarding the remote and swinging your hips to the poppy song
Alec's hands drop to his sides and he stay silent, watching you with a huge grin on his face.
"Dance my way now!" you yell, grabbing his hands and attempting to pull him towards you
"Ugh" Alec groans
"Come on!" you protest, "I did your fancy shmancy dance, it's my turn!"
Finally, you managed to pull him to you and, keeping your hands in his, you started jumping and swinging around to the beat. Slowly, Alec joined in, starting with a slow bobbing of his head until he progressed all the way to full on swishing his hair and jumping around crazily, his long limbs flailing everywhere.
He really can't dance.
By the time your playlist finished, you both flopped onto the couch, panting and sweating.
"See?" you grin, climbing onto him, "That was fun,right?"
"It was..." Alec agrees, "As long as no one find out about it"
"Oh, Lightwood, so vain" you sigh, shaking your head
"Hey, watch it!" Alec warns mockingly, "I'll go find that Susannah if you keep being so mean to me"
"Oh!" you gasp dramatically, "You would never"
Alec smiles before pushing your back down onto the couch, hovering over you, "You're right." he agrees, placing a soft kiss to your lips, "I would never"
"Good" you smile before speedily slipping out from underneath him and rushing up the stairs, "I bags shower first!"
"How dare you take advantage of our adorable couple moment to bags the first shower!" Alec calls out after you, his tone laced with mock anger and hurt
"You could always join me"
"Be right there!"
