Drabble: His Name In Lights

Title: His Name In Lights
Author: Shona aka Mara
Rating: U
[livejournal.com profile] fic_variations Prompt/Claim: Light/Dark ~ Alec (X5-494) (Dark Angel)
Spoilers: Designate This
Warnings: Nada
Author's Notes: additional prompt given to me by [livejournal.com profile] wenchpixie -Alec realises he isn't 494 any more

A blinding spotlight. Trapping him, identifying him.

He was no stranger to names, had more than he wanted to remember. They were easy to cast off. Well, not always easy - Simon had fought to stick around for a while.

494 had been a designation, not a name. Almost anonymous.

But now, having this name, answering to it automatically? It unsettled him. Put him in the spotlight.

He spat out a quasi-insulting, fully-sarcastic comment that was all Alec, and drained the glass. Willing his metabolism to slow down just enough to let him sink back into the darkness of anonymity.
