Authors Note: Throwing Magnus and Alec into a mundane situation, idea stolen from an episode of How I Met Your Mother

Allergy

Magnus Bane had just gotten back from a gathering of warlocks in Venice, a place he expressed a heavy fondness for and lamented not being able to take Alec there for at least one romantic evening, but Jace, Isabelle and Alec had been closing in on a fairly elusive nest of Ravener demons that they'd been after for weeks. So Magnus had invited Alec to dinner, telling him that it would be very fine dining and that Alec should make every effort to feel like they really were in Venice. Alec felt obliged to comply seeing as it was mostly his fault they hadn't had dinner in Venice, so he had endured hours of torture after very hesitantly asking for Isabelle's help, all for the sake of his boyfriend. (Izzy had dragged him around the mall for god knows how long and made him try of half the wares only to leave with only three things.) So here he was in front of Magnus' building in a tailored black suit, black dress shoes and deep blue shirtsleeves that apparently matched his eyes, whilst he would never tell Isabelle, or Magnus for that matter, he had to admit looking in the mirror on the way out of the Institute, he did look good.

"Alexander dear, if that's you come right up, If it's not, GO THE HELL AWAY!" Magnus' voice came loud and clear through the intercom and Alec couldn't help but laugh. This was one of his lovers 'charms' his tendency to violently yell at anybody who even had the slightest inclination of ruining his plans, especially is they involved a date, or anything to do with Alec in general.

He ran up the stairs and entered the apartment, finding that all the lounge room furniture had disappeared and in its place sat a small, wooden table with a golden candle stick in the centre, set with fancy blue china plates and matching white cutlery. The room had somehow been made to look as though they were outside and the ceiling shone with a thousand stars, even Alec, in all his awkwardness and 'social retardation', as Izzy had called it, could appreciate the romance and just how much Magnus had put into having the perfect night. (he hadn't even seen the flowers and candles in the bedroom yet.)

Magnus walked out of the kitchen in a deep plum coloured suit and stopped at the sight of his boyfriend, looking him up and down and smiling.

"Isabelle has outdone herself hasn't she" he smirked sauntering the rest of the way over and snaking his arms around his lovers waist.

"Shut up and kiss me already." Alec replied before he could stop himself, blushing at the sudden boldness in his words.

"Oh, Honey you know I love it when you get all demanding like that." Magnus teased before kissing him and taking his hand, leading him over to the table. Alec sat down and Magnus dashed off to the kitchen coming back out with two beautifully plated dishes of pasta before taking his own seat on the other side of the table. Meanwhile Alec had time to appreciate just how much Magnus suit hugged his figure in all the right places and how the deep purple and dark makeup set off the vibrant green-gold of his eyes.

"You cooked?" Alec asked giving Magus a suspicious look

"Alexander, I've been around for eight hundred years, of course I can cook!"

"I don't doubt that you can, I just though being a warlock and all, you wouldn't be bothered."

"I'm always bothered to do cheesy romantic things for my gorgeous boyfriend."

Alec blushed and looked down at his plate, Magnus, eager to finish the food and start on… other things, gestured toward the food silently instructing his boyfriend to 'dig-in'

"It's a little recipe I picked up a couple years back. Pasta, obviously, with this beautiful sauce it took me years to perfect but I finally found the secret ingredient, right in the front of my pantry, completely obvious should have figured it out so much earlier, but then again who would have thought of peanut butter sauce!" Alec looked up eyes wide in horror as his airways closed and he passed out in anaphylactic shock. So much for the perfect evening.

Authors Note: And thus Magnus discover Alec's peanut allergy.

PS. I hope the rewrite is better, I mean the first was still alright, but I think this one has a higher standard.
