Series: The last hours Ship: Thomastair Genre: Soulmate au, Halloween au, fluff Word count: 1.4k

For Idrisnnet's Halloween event Week 3, Day 5: The characters in Halloween colour schemes (orange and purple)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why do you look like a magician at a five-year-old's birthday party?"

"I'm literally wearing the costume you got me you little shit."

Cordelia grinned and stuck out her tongue at her elder brother, who was pouting slightly as he adjusted his bowtie.

Halloween wasn't Alastair's favourite holiday, but it made his sister and younger sibling very happy, and so he actively tried to participate in the holiday for them, which is how he ended up in this strange vampire costume, all three of them matching.

"Why do I get the count Dracula wannabe one anyway?" Alastair asked.

"The shoe fit," Cordelia said shrugging, and Alastair playfully smacked her head, making her hit him back in retaliation.

"Are you all ready?" Their mother yelled from the kitchen.

"Yes," they chorused back, as Cordelia attempted to neaten their younger sibling's hair, who was going trick-or-treating with their mother.

"Layla, we'll be going with Lucie right?" Alastair asked, and she nodded.

"I'm assuming another Herondale will be joining?" he said again, eyebrows raised.

"Maybe."

"Does he have to join?" Alastair asked, his face clearly showing his displeasure.

"He's my soulmate Alastair, and it's our first Halloween as soulmates," she said, giving him the pleading eyes, "besides, you're joining us as well."

Alastair sighed. Soulmates could be either platonic or romantic, and say what you want about fate and 'meant to be', Alastair was old enough to watch as his parents' marriage fell apart, He was old enough to remember the fights and the tears and the harsh words thrown back and forth. He could remember his mother's pained sobs like it was yesterday, and whenever he thought of his father coming, drunk out of his mind, he'd remember the way Cordelia would climb into his bed, on the verge of tears. His parents were soulmates too.

"Fine," he said, "but if I catch you two getting handsy or too close for comfort, we are coming straight back home and you are never seeing him again."

"You can't do that." she deadpanned

"Yes, but I can make empty threats."

They all laughed at that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Daisy you look so good!" Lucie yelled and engulfed her friend in a giant hug.

"So do you!" She yelled back and hugged Lucie.

Alastair looked at James and they exchanged curt nods.

"Daisy you look really beautiful tonight," James said softly, intertwining their fingers. Cordelia smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"So do you," she said.

He whispered something in her ear and they both giggled. Alastair eyed them suspiciously.

"If you two are done making heart eyes at each other can we please leave? We need to get to the Lightwoods' place soon if we want to make it to the horror house on time." Lucie said, giving her brother an unamused look.

"The Lightwoods are in town?" Cordelia asked. The Lightwoods and the Herondales were cousins, but they moved out of town.

"Yep," James said. "But only Thomas and Christopher will be joining us today."

Alastair didn't remember much about them, except that Christopher had too much energy and Thomas was rather scrawny.

"Let's get going then." Lucie chirped and they headed towards the lightwood residence.

The Lightwoods were staying in their old home. Their house was well maintained despite the lack of inhabitants. They were wealthy, that was for sure.

They rang the doorbell and waited and the door was opened by a boy in round glasses with startlingly violet eyes.

"Guys!" he yelled happily and engulfed James in a hug, who had to hold onto the railing for balance.

"Good to see you too Christopher," James said with a chuckle.

"Where's Thomas?" Lucie asked.

"Oh he's inside getting ready, you guys come on in."

The house's interior was definitely something, and Alastair couldn't help but let his eyes wander around.

"Thomas! Get your ass down here!" Lucie yelled, and the others laughed.

"I'm coming!" a voice yelled from upstairs. The man in question finally came down the stairs, and Alastair inhaled sharply.

The soul mark only appeared when the time was right. James and Cordelia, despite knowing each other for half their lives, only got their soul mark a few months ago. Cordelia told him that she and James were busy studying in the library, laughing and cracking jokes, when she made eye contact with him, suddenly tinting her vision in shades of gold. James had said it was red for him, and when Alastair made eye contact with Thomas, it was orange.

It reminded him of sunsets in the summer, and Alastair had to hold onto a nearby chair to keep his balance.

He had found his soulmate, and it was none other than Thomas Lightwood.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas hadn't made a single remark to Alastair, other than a small smile when he'd seen him on the stairs. Had he gotten the soul mark too? Or was Alastair destined to be one of those people who was a glitch in the system? Their soulmate had another soulmate, and it wasn't them. He didn't know and it was making him antsy.

"Are you alright?" He looked to his left, and Cordelia was there, looking at him with concern

"I'm fine." he shrugged.

"You've been worrying your lip and have been frowning this whole time."

Damn his sister and her incredible observation skills.

"I'm fine Layla, trust me okay?" he said, in an attempt to soothe her.

"I do not believe you but fine whatever you say." She placed a kiss on his cheek and went ahead to join James.

Thomas was walking ahead of him, animatedly talking to Lucie. He was extremely tall and his biceps were incredible. A bunch of explicit thoughts entered Alastair's head and he mentally facepalmed.

He just wanted this day to be over with so he could go home and yell into his pillow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The horror house was scary.

No, correction, it was terrifying.

The budget must have been very big this year, for even Alastair, a very avid non-ghost believer, was scared.

Thankfully he wasn't the only one affected. James looked like he was seconds away from peeing his pants, which made Alastair feel a little better.

A sudden burst of smoke from the smoke machine clouded their vision, and what Alastair assumed were zombies came out of nowhere, causing everyone to panic and run in different directions. Alastair had no idea where he'd ended up. It seemed to be a vampire crypt of sorts. How fitting.

"Hi." a familiar voice said from behind him, and Alastair turned.

Thomas was even more dazzling up close, and the pirate costume was doing him a lot of favours.

"Hey," Alastair uttered what would have been a nonchalant greeting if his voice hadn't cracked.

Thomas chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck.

"So, just you and me huh?" Thomas said.

"Yep."

"So, um about earl-"

"You're my soulmate!" Alastair interrupted without thinking.

Thomas blushed a deep red and nodded.

"You're mine too."

Relief flooded Alastair.

The air was slightly awkward and Alastair was about to speak when he was interrupted by Thomas.

"I like your costume," he said, smiling crookedly at him.

"I like yours too," Alastair said. God knows he meant it.

"So, we're soulmates huh?" Thomas said, coming closer to Alastair.

"Yes, we are," Alastair said, smiling up at him.

"Strange isn't it, one moment you're getting ready for Halloween, and the next moment a handsome man you haven't seen in a decade is your happily ever after."

"You think I'm handsome?" Alastair asked, smirking.

"Yes, I do," Thomas said, leaning in.

Immediately, Alastair's hands were in Thomas's hair and his lips were on his. Thomas was a good kisser, he'd give him that. His hands were around Alastair's waist, pulling him in to deepen the kiss. They broke apart and Thomas grinned.

"Want to grab some coffee tomorrow?" he asked.

"I would love to," Alastair said, "but on another note, we should get out of here."

"Yeah, this place is way too scary. Want to ditch the others?"

"I like the way you think.. soulmate," Alastair said with a grin, earning another kiss from Thomas.

"I saw purple by the way when I saw you," Thomas said, tone softer now.

"Orange," Alastair said, placing a kiss on his neck.

"Like a sunset!" Thomas exclaimed.

"That's exactly what I thought!" Alastair exclaimed back.

He couldn't say the same about other soulmates, but as Alastair looked at Thomas, he knew they were meant to be.
