This is my try on a fictional Character Meme. Hope you'll enjoy it!
-Dancy Warlock
First I was told to choose eight characters, and to put them in a random order.
One= Alec
Two= Raphael
Three= Magnus
Four= Luke
Five= Jace
Six= Isabelle
Seven= Clary
Eight= Simon
Just to make sure there won't be any cheating, I've also generated the numbers of each quest.
Here it goes! Question number one!
One and Three are set up on a blind date, thanks to number Four. Why did Four set up the date? Where do One and Three go? What happens?
He was searching thru his wardrobe. There wasn't really anything special in it. Black, slim, casual...
Oh, a dark red t-shirt! It had long sleeves and some stripes across the shoulders. He hadn't really taken a look at this shirt before. He couldn't remember ever buying it, either. Maybe Isabelle bought it at some occasion.
He threw his out-washed tanktop in the laundry basket and pulled the shirt on. It felt nice, and he supposed he looked good in it; staring at himself in the mirror.
"Looking good, big brother." Isabelle had sneaked in to his room. She was putting on a big grin. "You should probably put on some pants, though. Don't wanna reveal too much on the first date." She blinked.
Alec felt heat taking it's form on his cheeks.
"Very funny." He answered, not looking amused. But slightly nervous.
"So, who's the lucky guy? Magnus?" Alec snorted.
"I don't think he would ever do this sort of thing." He sounded a bit dissapointed. "I have no idea of who it is. Luke said that this guy was obviously in to me, and that he just wanted this over with."
"So? Are you serious?" Alec shrugged, oblivious. "Magnus Bane! You're going on a date with Magnus Bane!" Alec could feel the corner of his lips twitch. He didn't answer her.
Izzy strutted over to him and put some finishing touches to his already styled hair, with her hands. Alec tried to pull away.
"Come on, Alec. You gotta look sexy."
"Why?" Alec instantly replied. "What if I don't like the guy? Why would I care about it?" Izzy sighed.
"Because it's Magnus! And don't even try to deny your feelings for him." Alec rolled his eyes.
"What makes you so sure it's Magnus?" He asked, trying not to get his hopes up.
"Because even Luke can see it." Hm, she might have a point. He was just standing there, quiet and gazing at her.
"Good luck, big brother!" She went for the door. "Oh, and you should totally wear some black pants with that shirt!"
The place Luke had sent him to was a burger diner. By the Angel. This place, seriously? Alec thought. He was five minutes late. His date was probably already in there. He felt so awkward. Was he supposed to just look around and assume who his date was? What if he saw Magnus in there? What the hell would he say? How was he supposed to act?
He looked hastily through the windows as he walked by, towards the entré door. He felt a tight knot in his stomach when he couldn't see Magnus inside. When he went through the door he got a glimps of all the customers in the restaurant. No, there was no Magnus to be seen. Then who the hell was it? He couldn't really find any date-match at this place. Some older people, some couples, some groups of friends...
Maybe this guy was just late. Or what if he was stood up? That was probably the case. Why not? This was, after all, a blind date. Nobody in their sane mind would do this sort of thing. Then why was he doing this? He wasn't really desperate. Sure, Luke said the guy seemed to like him very much, but why had Alec gone thru with it? Maybe it was because somebody had actually showed some interest?
They'd said eight o'clock. He was either stood up, or his date was now forty minutes late. He sighed.
Alec figured he might as well stay and eat something, since he was already here. He ordered a BBQ burger with fries and a Coke, even though he'd already downed two Cokes during these forty minutes. He was starting to feel a sugar rush boiling inside.
Nature called, so Alec went to the Gentlemen's while waiting for his food. He actually felt really dissapointed, and not as relieved as one might think. Isabelle would laugh or try to comfort him. Or both. And that was probably the worst part.
"Yes, I was quite late. It seems like he's no longer here..." What! Alec stiffend. Magnus? Luckily Alec was just finished when he heard the door to the restroom close. "Well, we might arrange it some other time."
It couldn't be! Was he talking to Luke, maybe? Magnus was his date? What else would he be doing at a place like this?
Alec was pressed against the door of the stall, trying to get a glimp of Magnus thru the slit between the orange stall walls. Unaware of it, Alec was nervously fiddeling with the lock on the door. With a loud thump he crashed right by it, and almost ended up laying on the tiled floor.
He stumbled up to his feet, with a very startled Magnus starring back at him. He was apparently still on the phone. It was resting against his fingers.
In a fast movement he put the phone to his ear. "Never mind. I found him." He said, and put his phone in one of his pockets.
"Magnus..." Alec trailed off. He felt just as startled himself, as Magnus looked.
"Alexander." Magnus smiled gently. "Shall we?" He gracefully gestured toward the restroom door.
Alec nodded. He felt extremely embarressed, and ofcourse it was showing all over his face.
Alec walked past Magnus, silently. He sat down in the booth he'd been sitting in before. Magnus took a seat in front of him.
"I am sorry for arriving late." Magnus excused himself. He was actually looking genuin about it.
"You weren't sure whether to show up or not?" Magnus gave him a breath taking smile in response.
"But had I known it was you," Magnus was cut off by the waitress. She put the plate down in front of Alec, and greetingly looked at Magnus.
"Hm, I'll have..." He said while thinking hard, looking over at the menu by the bar. "A Doggy Dollar with sparkling water." He was as charming as always.
When the waitress left, Alec gave Magnus a 'funny' look.
"Doggy... dollar? What's that?" Alec almost stammerd.
"A tripple chicken burger with goat cheese." Magnus said casual.
"Tripple?!" Alec choke on his Coke, spitting all over the table.
Magnus drew back to avoid the spit from splashing all over him.
"Magnus! I am so sorry!" Alec grabbed for napkins, and gave Magnus a bunch.
"The more the merrier." Magnus blinked, while wiping his face and silk shirt off.
Alec gulped; feeling himself blushing.
"So, what did Luke say to you?" He studderd, trying to change the subject.
"He told me that since we never seemed to get our 'shit' together, he was now forced to do that for us." Magnus said, taking a sip from his water that just appeared at the table.
"Oh, he told you. So you did know it was me." Alec looked surprise. Magnus knew, and he came. But Magnus had been hesitating... "And you were considering standing me up." Alec thoguht out loud.
"Oh, I guess I was." Magnus avoided eye contact, and spent a long time trying to explain himself. He was acting very awkwardly. Had Magnus been nervous? Alec wondered.
And yes, it was actually very pleasant, spending some time alone with Magnus. It seemed as if they both wanted to do this again. At a nicer restaurant, maybe?
A/N: I realised afterwards that Alec never did flush that toilet. Such a bad boy!
Also, I guess it was supposed to be a blind date to both of them, but Luke could never fool the High Warlock of Brooklyn!
