Chapter 3
The next morning, Jace and Alec woke up together, showered separately, and went down to breakfast. Isabelle was loudly complaining about something as Maryse made pancakes. Jace poured himself a cup of coffee and neither Maryse nor Robert said anything, not that they would dare challenge Jace, who was far too young to be drinking coffee. Jace walked around the Institute like he owned it.
Alec thought about an hour ago, when he opened his eyes to see Jace still snoring beside him. He wanted to pinch himself but then Jace had climbed from the bed and left the room, turning his back on Alec and acting like last night hadn't even happened. Even when they walked downstairs together, Jace never once mentioned anything that had transpired last night, and had Alec not seen the damp pillowcase sitting in his hamper, he might have thought he had just dreamed the whole thing. But something had happened last night, and Jace was pretending it hadn't.
At breakfast, Robert and Maryse announced that they were going to Idris on business the following day, and would leave the Institute in Hodge's capable hands. Jace smiled wickedly when Maryse's back was turned, and Alec felt himself blush. Immediately following breakfast, Alec and Jace went to their usual lessons, and then were assigned book reports that were due the following morning. They were given two hours to work on their reports before training, so they each found the book they were to report on, and then went to sit in the corner of the Library.
Jace cracked his book open first, cleared his throat, and got down to work. Alec sat across from him and looked Jace over, from his golden hair on down his face. Jace was losing the soft, boyish features in his face and had begun to take on the hardened look of a man. His lips were pursed his thought and he drummed his fingers on the table, the same way he had drummed them on Alec's lower stomach last night.
"You're really not going to talk about last night?" Alec asked. He tried to keep the hurt out of his voice but there it was, raw like a fresh blister from a new pair of boots.
Jace sighed and wrote a few notes in his note book with his perfect, Idris taught penmanship. He didn't look up and Alec found himself feeling disheartened, because after everything last night, Jace could have at least given him the respect to look him in the eye.
"Do we need to talk about it?" Jace asked. "I heard you moaning. I thought you were having a nightmare so I went into your room and saw that you were… masturbating." Alec's face flamed red with blood. "I thought I might help. I thought we could help each other. That's what parabatai do."
Alec looked around the Library, found they were alone, then stood up, walked around the table, and sat beside Jace. He looked down at the book Jace was reporting on and studied the well worn pages filled with fading words. Alec ran a finger over a page and found the parchment to be smooth in some places and rough in others. Jace placed one hand on Alec's thigh, the other on his cheek, and kissed Alec gently on the lips.
"I didn't hurt you, did I?" Jace asked. He was leaning close, so close, Alec could feel warmth radiating off his skin. No one could have heard their conversation even if they tried. "You wanted it, right?"
Alec blushed again and looked away, but Jace placed a finger beneath his chin and turned Alec's face back to his. He kissed Alec again, opening his mouth to offer his tongue. Alec kissed back in one second and pulled away in the next. Alec could lose himself in this kiss, but he refused to.
"Of course I wanted it," Alec said.
"I wanted it to," Jace said. He kissed Alec once more, and then turned back to his book, leaving his right hand still on Alec's thigh. Alec reached over, got his book, and pulled it across the table.
"So do you plan on doing more?" Alec asked.
"I'll do whatever you want me to," Jace said. "But right now I really need to work on this book report."
Alec's mind filled with countless scenarios involving he and Jace, naked, doing scandalous things all over the Institute. He felt his stomach get warm, which caused him to acquire a blush across his cheeks that didn't go away quickly.
After study time there was training, and after training there was a passionate wrestling match on the training room mat, and then there was a shower where they ended up kissing beneath one shower head again. After that, they went to dinner. Robert and Maryse had already left, so dinner was quiet before Jace and Alec went back to their rooms to work on their book reports.
Alec was tired by the time he dressed in his pajamas and climbed beneath the sheets in his bed. He was almost asleep when the door opened and Jace walked into the room, closing the door behind himself. He gave Alec a smile as he tiptoed across the room with exaggerated steps. Jace pulled the sheet back and climbed into bed beside Alec. He buried his face into Alec's neck and began to suck at the skin there. Alec found his left hand gripping Jace's side as he tried to quell the moans that threatened to escape his mouth.
Jace moved beneath the sheet, licking long, luxurious trails up the side of Alec's chest. His fingers moved down to the waist band of Alec's pajama pants. He pulled them down and dropped them onto the floor, tossed his own shorts down as well, then took Alec in his mouth and began to suck gently. Alec hardened quickly in the warm space of Jace's mouth, and when Jace gripped Alec's thighs and parted them so he could lie between them, Alec allowed himself to be opened up. His most personal parts were suddenly within inches of Jace, and neither was objecting. Alec pulled the sheet back so he could see Jace. Jace's eyes were shut and his mouth was coating Alec's erection with slippery spit.
Jace removed his mouth from Alec's cock, and then placed the first two fingers of his left hand into his mouth. He gripped Alec's shaft with his other hand and began to stroke as he stared into Alec's eyes and sucked on his fingers. Alec closed his eyes and pushed himself more into Jace's hand, then opened his eyes to watch. After less than a minute, Jace pulled his fingers out, resumed sucking Alec's cock, and dipped his hand low. He touched the small bit of skin and muscle, beneath Alec's testicles, and then touched lower. Alec felt pressure and then Jace's first finger slipped inside of him.
Alec groaned and pulled away, but Jace was still there, his finger inside of Alec as he continued to lick. He probed at the head of Alec's cock with his tongue and Alec shuddered, his knees falling to the sides. His stomach clenched tight and shivered for a moment, then lay still beneath Jace's right hand. When Jace added another finger, Alec was prepared, and this time, when Jace began to push his fingers in deeper, looking for the elusive spot Alec had only heard rumor of, Alec pushed down, suddenly desperate. When Jace found the spot, Alec cried out, then bit his lower lip as his nipples hardened and he felt like coming. Jace probed at the place, moving his fingers against it, and Alec moaned louder, finding himself breathless.
Jace backed off, touching the spot only when Alec least expected it, and added a third finger, which started off tight and uncomfortable, but as Jace kept at it, Alec found himself able to relax around Jace's fingers. Finally, Jace pulled his fingers out, lifted his mouth off of Alec's cock, sat up, and knelt between Alec's legs. Jace looked down at Alec and smiled, then took Alec's right leg and pulled it aside, hooking his right arm beneath Alec's knee. His left hand stroked himself a few times, and then he pressed himself against the place his fingers had just been. He didn't slip in the way his fingers had, so Jace pushed harder.
There was an awful tearing pain in the place that had just felt good. Alec moaned and jerked away, nearly kicking Jace. He found the corner of the bedsheet and pulled it up, covering himself.
"What are you doing?" Alec asked.
"What you want," Jace replied. "I thought you were a virgin and maybe you would want me to be your first time. I thought we would have sex." Alec stared at Jace for a second. Jace honestly looked concerned and there was no doubt that he was aroused. Everything had just happened so fast. Alec hadn't expected his first time to be this way, and he hadn't expected it to be with Jace.
"Do you have a condom?" Alec asked. Jace looked at Alec like Alec was speaking the one language Jace couldn't understand. Alec pulled the sheet up higher. All of the warmth in his belly had disappeared. There had been a cool breeze coming in the window and it chilled Alec's sweating chest.
"I'm not going to get you pregnant," Jace said. "Besides, you're a virgin-"
"And you aren't," Alec said. "The condom doesn't necessarily protect just you. It would protect me to." Hodge had spent an hour of the six hour lecture stressing the importance of condoms. Naturally, Hodge had been mumbling his way through the basics of contraception, but the lesson was the same. Condoms were for protection and Alec wanted all the protection he could get.
"I sucked your cock but you don't think I'm clean?" Jace asked.
"Jace," Alec said. "You've been with other people. I know there are healing runes but it's still important to me that you-"
"I understand perfectly, Alec. Maybe I'm just not good enough to take your precious virtue," Jace said. "Good luck finding someone better." Jace climbed from the bed, found his shorts, pulled them on, and left the room.
Alec spent the next few hours staring at the ceiling and listening to Jace pace next door before his door finally opened again and Jace walked in. He climbed into bed beside Alec and rested a hand on Alec's stomach. Alec turned to Jace. The tears had long dried from his face and in the darkness, Jace couldn't see that he had been crying.
"It's your first time," Jace said. "If you want it to be with me, I'll go to the drug store tomorrow and get whatever you want. I'm sorry I got mad before. My first time was with some girl I can't even remember. You deserve a better first time."
Alec nodded. When Jace slipped his hand beneath Alec's shorts once more, reigniting Alec's desire almost instantaneously, Alec spread his legs and let Jace do what they both wanted. When he was finished, he laid his head on Jace's bicep, didn't reciprocate, and fell into a deep sleep as Jace held him close.
