Thanks to lolalucia10 - they requested and I thought .. why not. Thank you. **

Andrew Underhill and Isabelle Lightwood had become good friends. He could count on her for many things, and oddly enough relationship advice too. While she was incredibly supportive of downworld and shadowhunter relationships, her relationship was with a daylighter vampire. He would need to talk to her brother for advice about warlocks. Underhill was enjoying his time with Lorenzo but sometimes it was difficult to tell if the warlock was as into him. Andrew admitted to himself that he had fallen for the High Warlock but had yet to tell Lorenzo that because he was worried he would scare him away.

Underhill caught up with Isabelle Lightwood in her office. He knocked lightly to let her know he was standing in the doorway. Izzy looked up from her computer tablet and acknowledged the head of security for the New York Institute. "What's up?"

"Hey Isabelle, can you manage without me for a little while. I can get someone to cover my duties til I get back from Idris." Andrew knew his boss would grant his request but sometimes the Shadow World got crazy and things couldn't go as one would hope.

"Idris? Is there something I should know about? If there is a threat here, I need to know." Izzy took her job seriously. Underhill was slightly amused, the Lightwoods had a suspicious nature to them and Andrew had to admit, it was a quality he liked but sometimes it was also a pain.

"No," he pauses, "no. I just want to talk to your brother." Andrew blushed a little. He wasn't good with explaining things that were personal. He was grateful to Alec Lightwood, his courage and being true to himself was an inspiration for him. He would not have had the courage to come out if not for the eldest Lightwood. He was getting more and more comfortable in his own skin. That didn't mean relationships were easy, they clearly were not.

Izzy had a puzzled look on her face, still trying to figure out why security would need to go to the Inquisitor. Once she saw the blush, she figured it out. "Ah, I see. It's about Lorenzo." She smirked at him, she understood and it was cute watching romances bloom.

"Yeah, sometimes I'm not sure, he can be quite cryptic and sometimes I can't tell where we are in the relationship." He held his hands out as if to make his words more of a question than a statement. "Other times I'm certain we're meant to be together."

"I would say your instincts about being together are closer to the truth." Izzy smiled, "but if talking with Alec will help. Go." The Head of the Institute smiled warmly at Underhill.

"Thank you." Underhill nodded at her but before leaving her office he added, "for everything, your friendship and understanding." Isabelle smiled and gave him a shooing motion with her hand to go take care of business.

Andrew Underhill took a portal to Idris. He needed to talk to Alec Lightwood. He checked in with security at the Alicante Institute, mostly to find out where the Inquisitor would be for the day. He was relieved to find out that on this day he was in his office working. There were times when the Inquisitor made trips to Institutes to handle whatever situation needed his attention.

Underhill made his way to the Inquisitor's office, and rapped quickly a few times on the door.

"Come in," Alec looked up to see who was at his office. He wasn't expecting anyone and had no appointments on this day.

Andrew walked in and hesitated a moment before saying "Hi."

Alec looked surprised at seeing Underhill but put his computer tablet down and gestured for him to come into the office. Andrew did so and closed the door behind him. He wanted his conversation private. He walked to the chair in-front of Alec's desk and made himself comfortable.

"What can I do for you." Alec could tell there was something on Underhill's mind, he certainly wasn't one to not speak his mind.

"I wanted to ask you about warlocks." Andrew thought about what else to say. "I'm trying to figure them out, and sometimes I'm not sure."

Alec smiled and aware what Underhill was referencing, "Izzy is better at relationship advice, I'm not sure you're talking to the right Lightwood."

Andrew laughed, "I think I have the right Lightwood. You've been in a loving relationship with a warlock for quite some time and you married him." Underhill paused, "sometimes its hard to know if we're working out. There are times I'm so certain, then there are times when he's far more reserved. Which is weird because he's very outgoing in general."

"It's a warlock thing, I think. The cryptic or being coy attitude seems to be a trait." Alec thought about what to say next but being blunt almost always served him best, "talk to him, that's all you need to do. Be honest about your feelings." He watched Underhill and immediately understood the dilemma, you had to put your heart on the line.

Underhill nodded his head in understanding, while he meant to get a more in-depth point of view on warlocks, what he got was good advice about a relationship. Perhaps that was what he needed all along.

"Talking to each other is the best thing you can do, listen as well." Alec shrugged, "the rest will fall into place."

Andrew was about to reply when his phone interrupted them, he answered and agreed to a date night with Lorenzo. He smiled at the Inquisitor, "I gotta go, thanks." Alec smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. Underhill made his way out of the office and watched as the Inquisitor went back to his computer tablet. He never saw the grateful smile intended his way

Alexander was home earlier than expected to Magnus' delight. He put his work away, well, put away was subjective. The warlock always knew where his stuff was, he just didn't need to be neat about it depending on the material. While he was not worried over his appointment books and pens, don't touch his apothecary or ingredients. He knew exactly where everything was and its place he wanted those items to be in. His library was equally meticulous, books and boxes where in their proper places. In general lately as High Warlock of Alicante, he was busy doing spells, wards and helping Institutes with basic magical plans for allowing downworlders to integrate further into the shadowhunter world.

Magnus mused further as he watched his husband take care of his work items. He knew Alec didn't mind his warlock's eccentric and unique behavior, in fact he knew his lover's only concern was being with him. Thinking of this made Magnus remember his conversation with Lorenzo. Lorenzo probably thought he was going too slow with Underhill, and he could understand that but there was no slow button to a shadowhunter. You get them hooked in, you were in for a ride in many ways. When they wanted what they wanted, they jumped in and held tight. He was glad for Lorenzo and Andrew, they would be good together, he was happy for them.

Magnus would never give up his shadowhunter and he had a feeling, Lorenzo would finally commit to his and keep him. Alec and Magnus enjoyed drinks and he portal-ed them to dinner in one of their favorite places.
