The Course of Second Dates

[strongest_faith]

He's on time this time, at least. And he has Magnus's shirt, neatly folded, in his hand. He'd thought about keeping it, but that seemed silly somehow. He wasn't ever going to wear it. (And he wasn't sure he'd ever tell Magnus that he lent it to Cecil. He had it back now, and it was clean.)

He clears his throat quietly and tugs at his shirt, another blue one, a sweater this time, but one Izzy had given him, so it was mostly free of holes and not too faded. He thinks he probably shouldn't be so nervous. It had gone really well last time, once they'd gotten through dinner.

Still, his hand is trembling a little when he presses the buzzer.

Magnus smiles kindly at him, "Oh no, asking is fine. It's the telling that could be a problem."

Magnus stops and laughs, "In deed, so you have found your way there too." squeezing Alexanders hand, "How perfect."

"Yeah," Alec says, smiling as he waits for Magnus to let them in. "Yeah, it's pretty great. It's...nice to get away sometimes."

Someplace he doesn't have to be a Shadowhunter and a Lightwood.
