"Come on then!" Magnus said, ushering Alec into a long and narrow room, his kitchen. "Oh, excuse me for a minute. I have to go to clean a something up, take care of a few things," and with that he left the room.
He won't mind if I look around a bit Alec thought I bet he'd have a look around if he came to the institute. He almost blushed at the thought of Magnus there. What was wrong with him?
After a brief inspection of the cupboards Alec had found a collection of exotic foods and spices all in different colours and texture. He could only recognise about an eighth of Magnus' massive collection and that was only thanks to Isabelle's attempts at cooking – failed attempts.
He'd been trying to decipher the label of a jar of what looked similar to glitter when Magnus walked in. He took one look at Alec and the jar and said simply "Ah."
"Ah, what?" Alec asked.
"It's my glitter. I use it for everything. I was wondering were I put it this morning. Its fairy dust. Damn expensive too!"Magnus said, taking the jar from Alec's hand.
"I thought you didn't have to pay for things, you just snapped your fingers and what you wanted appeared," Alec said, though it sounded more like he was thinking aloud.
"Yes, but this is fairies we're talking about. They wouldn't appreciate it if I just took their dust like that," Magnus replied like it was obvious (which it was).
"You mean stole," Alec said sharply.
"Whatever you want to call it. Weren't you here so I could teach you about the internet?" Magnus raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, right…yeah!" Alec said absently.
"Don't tell me you'd already forgotten! I know I'm distracting but please! Get a grip!" Magnus said to a guilty looking Alec. He had indeed forgotten. "Well come on, this way," Magnus led him down the hallway to his room. Alec winced at the sight of the sad attempt that Magnus had made of cleaning up. He recalled Magnus saying he had to clean something. He wondered if that was, well…'this'.
"Sorry it's a bit messy," Magnus apologised, making his way through the clothes that had been thrown aside on the floor. Alec winced again – at the mess and the clothes themselves. He'd never wear any of them. Magnus had reached his destination – a desk. On it was a rainbow laptop.
Alec would have laughed but feared the warlock's reaction. "So what do you know?" Magnus asked, snapping Alec out of his daze. "Err…" was all Alec could reply. He had barely understood a thing Jace and Simon had told him. It was at that moment his mobile rang.
"A piece of technology he can use!" Magnus muttered and Alec answered the phone.
"Alec where are you? You've been gone an hour!" came Jace's voice. "I've been places over an hour before and no one cared then!" Alec said, defensively.
"Whatever, come back to the institute. I've bribed…I mean convinced Simon to give you another lesson on the internet. You can't miss out on it man!" Jace almost squealed.
"I'm not coming back yet. I've got someone else to teach me, someone better. "Alec smiled at Magnus who grinned back.
"Better than Simon? Who?" Jace asked. Alec muttered something under his breath. "What was that? Come on tell me." Jace whined. Alec looked at Magnus who shrugged in response.
"Magnus Bane," Alec said, almost shyly. He heard laughter on the other end of the line. "Seriously though, who is it?" Jace managed, though his laughter. "I told you! If you don't want to believe me that's your problem," Alec huffed.
"Alright, we're coming over," Jace said. There was lots of background noise, a conversation or argument in the background. "We?" Alec asked, instantly regretting telling Jace who he was with. "Isabelle, Clary, Simon and I," Jace said, matter-of-factly.
Alec groaned "Fine, I'll see you soon then." Magnus raised his eyebrows. "A few people are coming over," Alec bit his lip "You've met them all though…"
"Alright but they're your responsibility, not mine. If they break something…" Magnus broke off with a warning look.
"You could fix it with a snap of your fingers!" Alec stopped complaining when he saw Magnus' face. "Okay," he said.
"Now back to the internet," Magnus started,
Here we go he thought.
ooooOoooo
What do you think? Did it get too off topic? Did anyone notice my obsession with people raising their eyebrows or …'s? You have Gaius from Merlin to thank for that. Review! You know you want the tea (and Jace I suppose ;]).
