🐶- a puppy. (Jace)

“Go to your room. I got you something,” was all Jace had said to Alec after their debriefing. Alec bristled because Jace had more than once gotten him a less than favorable gift or worse, a prank.
When he reached his room in the Institute, Alec twisted the door handle before toeing it open with his boot to make sure there was nothing sitting on the door waiting to fall. He spotted the large box on the bed immediately. Wary, his brow narrowed as he slammed the door behind him and approached with caution.
The box moved before he got to it and he slowly lifted off the lid only to have a tan-colored mutt jump at him with what was left of a shredded handkerchief hanging around its neck. Alec reached down and picked the pup up and brought it to his chest to hold like a baby. Izzy had a puppy once and it was a memory he didn’t like to recall because of the pain.
“Hey, bud,” Alex said softly to the puppy that was now stretching to lick his face, which made him finally crack a smile. “You got a name? No? Let’s go with Daffy,” he muttered as he sat down on the bed with the pup in his arms. “We’ll even get you a duck toy,” he cooed as he scratched the tiny thing’s chin. “Uncle Jace will like that very much, mmhmm.”
