Chapter 2: Poor Alec; Shopping's Fun!

They got into the car and drove to the Institute.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!" Isabelle exclaimed.

"Yeah me, too!" Clary agreed, while Alec is opening the door to the Institute.

"Well ladies, we have shopping to do!" Magnus said cheerfully as the door opened.

The girls squealed.

"Wait here, we'll change our clothes." Isabelle said to Magnus. Magnus nodded.

Isabelle and Clary went upstairs to change. Jace followed them (who knows what he'll do, maybe sleep lol).

"So," Alec started. "What do you want to drink?"

"Oh, how sweet! Just coffee please." Alec smiled.

Then Alec walked out of the room.

A few minutes later, Alec came back with two steaming cups of coffee. He set down the two cups and waited patiently for the girls.

"Hey, why're you so grumpy at the restaurant?" Magnus asked.

He just shrugged.

"Don't wanna talk about it?" He asked.

"It's just I wanted to protect my siblings. Especially when Max died."

Magnus scooted next to Alec and leaned down on him, their faces almost touching.

Alec's eyes went wide and before he could react Magnus kissed him.

"I missed you." Magnus said, holding Alec's blushing face.

"I missed you, too Magnus."

He smiled, slightly pushing Alec down at the sofa.

Alec, slightly alarmed, started to get up. But Magnus' hands are strong to hold him down.

"Calm down Alec. Girls' changing is much longer than boys. They could take a half hour or so."

Alec sighed. "But knowing Isabelle-"

Slightly irritated, Magnus said. "Urgh. Fine." Then shrugged.

"Sorry." Alec bit his lip.

"For what?"

Alec pouted, "Well you're irritated because of me."

Magnus kissed his forehead. "It's okay darling." He said, and started to get up.

"Where're you going?" the blue eyed boy asked.

"Just getting some fresh air."

Alec just sat there looking at Magnus. Magnus looked back at him with raise eyebrows, "You can come join me if you want."

Alec quickly got up to follow Magnus up to the front porch.

Isabelle's POV

"What do you think? I asked Clary as I held a blue, skin tight geometric patterned top.

"Hm, nah." Clary said.

I went back to rummaging my closet full of clothes. Clary went out to check on Magnus and Alec but they were gone.

"I guess they were bored." She said to herself.

I heard a clicking sound and looked up at Clary.

"Are they gone? I asked. Clary seemed a bit surprised at the question but just nodded anyway.

"C'mon!" I said as I motioned Clary to follow me.

"What are we going to do?" she asked, confused.

"Shh.." I said as I pulled from my pocket a small pouch filled with magic sleeping powder.

Clary gasped, eyes wide. "Where'd you get that?"

"From Magnus." I winked.

I poured some small amount into Alec's cup.

"You're putting sleeping powder into your brother's cup.. Why is that?"

"Well, we – me and Magnus – decided to surprise Alec."

"And how exactly 'sleeping' helps him?"

I bit my lip. "It doesn't 'help' him. It helps us so he can't bother our surprise."

Clary just shrugged.

Alec's POV

"I think they're taking too long." I said.

"Oh, don't worry. They're almost done." The taller man said, looking at his watch and winked at Alec.

I shrugged. "I think I'll just check on them..." I said, reaching for the door.

"Wait!" Magnus frantically said. Alec turned, a bit startled by Magnus' sudden composure.

I was met by Magnus' soft lips. He held my head closer to him, deepening the kiss.

Magnus' POV

"Wait!" I said. Frantic that Alec will find out about the plan. Thinking of something to get his attention, I just automatically kissed him – which came in handy.

I mentally patted myself. Then I saw Isabelle pouring some powder into Alec's cup, and I motioned her to make it fast. Izzy nodded and she and Clary went back upstairs.

I let go of Alec, and he just smiled.

"Why don't we go and drink some coffee you made? It's getting cold here." I shivered.

"Sure." He said. And he opened the door and sat on the sofa.

He reached out for a cup of coffee and sipped it. And I started doing the same.

Alec frowned. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I just feel.. a bit weird I guess."

After a moment, the cup he was holding was lost in his grip. And lay there a motionless Alec.
