The Bane Chronicles: The Course of True Love (And First Dates)

[strongest_faith]

Alec was late. He was really late. Late enough that he was pretty sure Magnus would have given up on him. Damn Jace wanting to train and Alec's inability to think of a good enough excuse to get out of it.

He'd rushed through a shower and pulled on a light-blue shirt that was actually new. Izzy said it did good things for his eyes. Alec hoped they were good enough for Magnus to forget that he was supposed to be there more than twenty minutes ago. He also hoped Izzy had been right about the cologne. He'd never worn cologne before.

As he sprinted through the Brooklyn streets to Magnus's loft, Alec dodged between pedestrians and once or twice vaulted a low wall that was in his way. He couldn't be bothered to stop for things like red lights, so he just flitted between (or over) cars where necessary. He was already late, but he didn't have to be any later.

By the time he got to Magnus's loft and threw himself at the buzzer, he actually needed to catch his breath.

He must have been insane, Magnus actually said yes to a date with a Shadowhunter. It had been such a shock when it happened and now he was wearing red Ferragmo pants, matching shoes, and a black silk waistcoat sans shirt and walking the floor of his loft.

The warlock starts to think that he's been stood up.

"Well time to drink" he says to his cat.

Making a cocktail with unicorn tears, energizing potion, cranberry juice, and a twist of lime.

Though he would never admit it, Magnus jumped at the sound of the buzzer but composed himself quickly.
