Someone kindly requested for another chapter about when Jace, Clary and Izzy find out about the driving lessons ^_^ I just couldn't say no.
Unfortunately, the plot came right in the middle of my Spanish listening exam, which wasn't very helpful considering that I kept daydreaming.
"D…Do you really think…" Clary started up, the three of them (Jace, Izzy and Clary) were sat around the small breakfast table in the kitchen, finishing off their breakfast. Alec and Magnus were still asleep, as was Simon.
"Do you think what?" Jace prompted, glancing at his girlfriend from under golden hair, she really looked beautiful, not that she ever didn't. Her fiery red hair pulled back into a rough ponytail, clad in some shorts and an oversized shirt. Izzy rolled her eyes at the looks her adoptive brother, and stretched, leaning forward towards Clary to show her she was listening.
"That…Alec and…Magnus and Simon…do that stuff…?" She seemed rather embarrassed at what she'd just said, a flushed a little like the others, they hadn't been able to sleep because of the disturbing images Alec had so kindly plastered into their minds.
Jace put up both hands in the air, like one would do in a sign of surrender "I really don't want to know…seriously…"
"Maybe-" Izzy was cut off however, by the load sound of something dropping upstairs, all three paused and looked towards the stairs.
"ALEC? YOU OKAY?" Jace's question was only met with silence; however, they could defiantly hear some kind of commotion going on upstairs. Jace automatically reached towards his stele and slid from his chair, making his way towards the stairs, the others followed close behind and as silently as possible, all their shadow hunter training coming in handy.
Jace pressed his finger to his lips as they crept towards the eldest Lightwood's bedroom door, there was another 'thump' noise and a few swear words being uttered.
"You know, you're really crap at this" Simon's voice said in an amused tone, Izzy cocked her eyebrow in confusion and all three of them crept a little closer to the door in order to hear better.
"It's not my fault, is it?" Alec's voice hissed back "You told me to do this"
"It will make you better" Magnus's voice chipped in "You know…think of it as practice, blue-eyes"
"ACK! Press it harder!" Simon all but yelped, the room was filled with silence for a while, before the teenagers outside heard a piercing screech of protest from Alec's mattress. Like someone had just jumped on the poor thing.
A look of realisation hit Clary's face, giving her boyfriend a disbelieving look while the said boy looked just as shocked.
"This time…see if you can last a bit longer Alec, that wasn't that enjoyable" Magnus said in a blunt tone.
"Well, you're the one just sat there watching! Why don't you join in and see how hard it is" Alec shot back, Clary, Jace and Izzy heard Simon cough loudly, effectively breaking the slight argument up.
"Look, have another go Alec. No pain, no gain. That's what mundies say, right?" He said, they could hear Alec grumble a little "Fine, one more go"
More silence…
"Yes…keep doing that" Simon added "Remember to keep quiet, so the others can't hear. We don't want to wake them up"
"Bit late for that, Alec's being a tad too vocal" Magnus chirped, chuckling.
More silence…then…
"Don't be so rough" Simon pointed out. Jace, clearly having enough from the colour of his face kicked the door open, causing the three occupants of the room to jump and stare at the horrified faces of Clary, Izzy and Jace.
Simon, looking tired, was slouched on the old arm chair that had been moved to the edge of the bed, looking at something in Alec's hands with interest. The said black haired boy was sat on the bed, staring at them with a startled expression. Magnus, looking as if it wasn't 7am was all done up, sparkles and leather; lying back on Alec's bed while applying black eyeliner while looking at himself in a small, hot pink handheld mirror.
"W…What are you guy doing…?" Clary huffed, looking from Simon, to Alec, to Magnus, and back to Simon again.
"We're on my PSP" Simon said, as if it summed up everything they wanted to know. Jace gave the vampire a confused look "PSP?"
"A PlayStation Portable, it's a handheld device manufactured and marketed by the Sony Corporation. Did you know that it's the first handheld video game console to use an optical disc format as its primary storage medium? Or that it had connectivity with the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and the internet? If you think about it, the PSP is quite a significant leap in technology, gaming wise. It has a Memory Stick PRO duo expansion slot and A Memory Stick Micro Expansion Slot. As well as Internal Flash Storage-"
"Simon?"Jace asked.
"Yeah?"
"Nobody cares" The blonde smirked.
Izzy ignored the troublesome duo and instead looked to Magnus and Alec, like Clary had done.
"What are you doing?"
"Simon's teaching me how to drive" Alec said, cocking his head "We were playing some car game. Simon claimed it will help me with my road awareness and co-ordination. Or something like that. I told you yesterday, you know…when Maia was here"
Clary and Izzy looked at each, a look of realisation being shared between them.
"Why, what did you think we were doing?" Alec asked, Magnus chuckled from behind him and shook his head disbelievingly.
