Shadowhunters Imagines & Preferences

Alec* ~ Truth or Dare

"Ooh I know!" Izzy squeals, the contents of the red plastic cup in her hands spilling over the edge as she enthusiastically waves her arms, "Let's play Truth or Dare!"

"Really Iz?" Alec groans, rolling his eyes, "That mundane game is so ridiculous"

"Well, I wanna play it" Izzy protests, sending a cheeky, knowing glance your way, "Besides, all sorts of secrets come out playing this game"

It was apparent only to you the double meaning of her words. Izzy knew about your crush on Alec and, in her drunken state, she was planning on trying to force the two of you together in the hopes that you'd confess your feelings for him.

You sigh, downing the rest of your drink in seconds, "Fine. I'm in"

Jace, Simon, Clary and Maia all agree shortly after, all that's left is Alec.

"Come on, Alec" Izzy slurs, "You'd be the only one not playing"

"Yeah, come on, dude" Jace pipes up

Alec glares at them both, his arms crossed in front of his chest, a stony, resolute look on his face that said he wasn't going to be changing his mind any time soon.

"No harm, right?" you shrug, looking up at Alec and in the split second your speak, something changes and Alec agrees to play, sitting down beside you.

You spot Izzy shooting you an 'I told you so' glance.

She had been trying to convince you for weeks that he liked you back, but you refused to believe it. You knew he didn't like you like that...of course he didn't.

"I'll go first" Izzy smiles and the game begins 

***

A bunch of kisses, embarrassing stories and confessions of many a secret, you finally decide to be bold and go for a dare, having chosen truth the entirety of the game so far

"Dare" you state when Izzy asks you

"Oooh! Yay, yay, it's getting really fun now!" Izzy squeals, clapping her hands together like a child at Christmas, "I dare you to...take Alec's shirt off"

You immediately regret saying dare.

You found it hard enough to concentrate on training when Alec was shirtless, let alone taking it off for him...

"Uh...I..." you stutter, looking nervously over at Alec, "I'm not gonna just invade his personal space for a dare..."

"It's the rules, Y/N" Jace points out, shaking his head, "Man, you so shouldn't have said Dare"

"Y/N" the gruff voice you know all too well speaks from beside you and you turn to face Alec, "It's okay, trust me, she won't let this go."

"O-Okay" you murmur, turning to face Alec, getting up onto your knees as he does the same

It's dead quiet as you extend your shaking hands out to the hem of his t-shirt, stopping just before your fingertips reach the fabric. You freeze for a moment, unsure if you actually had the guts to do it but then Alec's warm, steady hands clasp over yours, pulling them onto the hem of his shirt and tugging upwards slightly

"It's okay" he whispers, smiling slightly to try and relax you

It doesn't, in fact it just makes you more nervous, but you do it. You pull the shirt further up as he lifts his arms slowly and as you do, your hands graze his toned torso, slightly sweaty from being in the hot room for so long. You quite literally feel him shudder under your touch and you retract your hands from him rapidly

"S...S-Sorry" you stumble, gulping loudly as your cheeks flame

"It's okay" Alec repeats for the third time, "It's just...your hands are cold"
