Chapter One: Fly on the wall
"C'mon now, Alec." pleaded Magnus.
"You've pushed too far Magnus." said Alec.
"I'm sorry, alright?" said Magnus reaching his hand out to Alec.
"I think we need a break." said Alec as he stormed out of the room.
Magnus sat down feeling defeated. When will he learn not to joke about Jace or even bring the subject of Jace up. All he wanted was Alec and he seems to be pushing him away. How stupid can the High Warlock of Brooklyn get? Pretty stupid, he answered himself. Love can make you a fool. And Magnus started to dwell on all the mistakes of his very long life. Some time had passed when finally Magnus thought, alright enough feeling sorry for himself. He needed a plan to make things up to Alec. Yes, and then there will be make up sex! Oh, now he was definitely feeling better, infinitely better, and he left to shop for all of Alec's favorite things.
Meanwhile, Alec was not as quick to turn things around in his mind. He walked quickly through the cold winds of January with his jacket open but he didn't feel the icy cold. Inside he was steaming mad making the cold feel good passing threw his sweatshirt. How could he love someone who could torture him. Could he love anyone? Could anyone really love him? Is this what they call teenage angst? He always had a good sulk when he was angry even when he was a child. He remembered the time when Jace took his first weapon without asking. It was a double-ended knife with the handle in the center that his father had as a young Shadowhunter. Alec was so proud that his father trusted him with this family heirloom and he practiced with it religiously. One day Jace went into his room and "borrowed" it to try without asking permission from Alec and then forgot where he left it. Oh, how Alec was furious with Jace. He told Jace that he KNEW that Jace was jealous and he had gotten rid of it, not lost it. It was Alec's family heirloom and Jace was NOT family. That was long ago and Alec still felt the guilt of his harsh words to this day. They made up of course, first as a mandatory request from his father. Then later, when he meant it. Jace, his parabatai, his fantasy. Alec could never stay mad at him. Jace was who he went to talk things out, to celebrate victories, to tell his secrets.
Now he had no one to talk with because he couldn't tell Jace what had transpired between him and Magnus. What Magnus said and how Alec reacted, the thought of the argument made Alec feel like he needed a good fight. Yes, he wanted a fight and he knew where he could find one. So, off he went to the other side of the city. He finally found the bar he was looking for and entered searching for demons disguised as patrons. He walked inside and was immediately blinded by the darkness. It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust and when they did he saw someone walking up to him, it was Sebastian.
"Well, hello there Alec, funny meeting you here. We are over in the corner, come join us. I'm just going to get another round. What's your poison?" said Sebastian.
"Oh, uh, I don't want to interrupt. I just came in for a soda." said a surprised Alec. Who are the 'we?' he was thinking.
"Don't be silly, you would never interrupt. Go on over, I'll get the soda." said Sebastian as he walked away leaving Alec to peer through the darkness at the corner table. He only saw one other person there, so he thought he would go see who it was and when he arrived he had a surprise.
"Hi, Alec. Come sit down." said Clary.
"Clary?" said Alec.
"Yes?" said Clary
"What are you two doing here?" asked Alec, still on edge and looking for a fight.
" We went to see the new movie at the corner and the popcorn was so salty that we felt like just having a few drinks before heading back to the Institute." said Clary.
"Does Jace know you two went out together?" Alec spoke with a dare in his voice as he started to take a seat.
"Don't make this into something sordid Alec. It was just an afternoon movie, not some afternoon delight." said Clary getting her defenses up.
"I'm sorry." said Alec trying to gain some control now. " Magnus and I had this fight."
"Oh, sorry. Where is he?" asked Clary wanting to help.
"I left him at his place. It's a long story." said Alec starting to come down from all the adrenaline.
"I don't mean to pry." said Clary.
"Thanks." said Alec."Excuse me for a second, just need to hit the bathroom." and off he went.
Sebastian then returned with the round of sodas.
"Gee Clary, that must be a record." mocked Sebastian.
"What ?" asked Clary now really feeling defensive. All she was doing was sitting at the table minding her own business.
" How long did it take you to scare off Alec?" laughed Sebastian.
Clary smiled and said, "Oh, he just went to the restroom."
"I thought maybe you were trying to keep me all to yourself." said Sebastian with a wink.
Clary just looked at Sebastian, she didn't answer one way or the other. Sebastian was intrigued. Then he excused himself for the restroom too.
Clary became nervous again, not in a defensive way like someone is picking on her, rather in a 'what did I just start' way. She watched Sebastian walk into the men's room and thought he was going to tell Alec to have his drink and then leave them alone. This wasn't supposed to be a date date, but Sebastian was so handsome and she couldn't help but be flirtatious with him. Clary started the fantasy she made up in her head after the first time they met in Idris as her mind drifted off into a daydream about the guy from her imagination that stepped out of her drawings. She stared at the flashing red and gold lights in the jukebox while she floated away inside her head.
Alec was just leaving when Sebastian literally bumped into him.
"Oh, so sorry Alec." said Sebastian with a crooked smile.
"Huh, oh no sweat." said Alec as he veered his path to walk around Sebastian. Except Sebastian quickly stepped in the same direction and bumped Alec again. This time Sebastian smiled fully at Alec.
"Oops, did it again, sorry." said Sebastian.
Alec stood his ground now wondering what kind of game he was playing.
"It's alright." said Alec. Now trying to pass Sebastian on the other side.
Sebastian nimbly slid over with Shadowhunter speed to stand directly in front of Alec, but this time he looked around the room to make sure it was empty of any other patrons other then themselves.
"What are you doing, Sebastian?" asked Alec while raising his hands to his hips and trying not to start the fight here.
"Seizing the moment." said Sebastian as he placed one hand on Alec's shoulder. Alec froze and stared at the beautiful Sebastian. It only took a few seconds for Alec to realize that Sebastian was hitting on him. He smiled thinking about his earlier thoughts of him and Clary. Now he realized why Sebastian wanted him to stay for a drink too. Fate is a funny thing thought Alec. Alec smiled at Sebastian and waited for him to make another move to be sure. He didn't have to wait long, Sebastian raised is other hand and now both hands were firmly on Alec's shoulders. Sebastian took a step closer to Alec so that they were close enough to kiss.
"Hey Alec." said Sebastian.
"Yeah" answered Alec acknowledging Sebastian's desire by placing his hands on Sebastian's shoulders.
Alec started thinking that this may be better then a fight to blow off that steam through the awkwad silence.
"And here I thought you were hitting on Clary. My bad." said Alec.
"Who said I'm not." Sebastian answered raising an eyebrow.
Alec felt confused then started to panic thinking that he did misinterpret Sebastian's intentions. Now he just wanted to run away, anything rather then explain himself. But Sebastian remained calm. Looking into Alec's eyes he found himself drawn into a kiss where their lips barely touched. Sebastian pulled back slowly and then quickly went back for another. With the second kiss Alec could no longer control himself. All of his pent up energy forced Alec to pull Sebastian into his arms. Alec open his mouth and sent his tongue probing deeply past Sebastian's lips. Alec thought he was going to teach Sebastian a lesson. Sebastian went right along with Alec as both started breathing more rapidly. They finally separated and the silence was broken.
"Let's get out of here." said Sebastian.
Alec, trying to control his breathing, nodded in agreement since he was completely brain dead now. The two turned and left the room and back into the bar. They went back to the table where Clary looked up from her drink.
"I started to wonder if the party moved into the boys room." said Clary with a teasing smile.
"It has." laughed Alec.
Clary said "Whatever." and then looked up at Sebastian who seemed to be in deep thought.
Finally Sebastian spoke," Clary, let's get out of this demon hole."
While Clary got up and was putting on her coat and gloves Alec whispered to Sebastian.
"Are we going to take Clary to Luke's or the Institute." while trying to think of where they could go to be alone.
"Neither" answered Sebastian. And Sebastian turned to leave without giving Alec a clue to what his thoughts were at the moment. Sebastian was an extrodinary gambler with a great poker face and an addiction to high stakes.
Alec shrugged it off and decided to follow wherever they needed to take her before they could go off by themselves. Clary secretly licked her lips as she went out behind the two Shadowhunters in her dreamy state, though deep within her she knew no one like Sebastian would take her seriously as a love interest.
Well, should this drabble become a story? Thanks to all who sent help in the past and pleeze review.
