AN: Hey guys sorry it's been so long. I'm not dead! We just moved and we only had about a day to do it. Which of course meant it took me until about now to recover. I promise I will be writing more as well, the next chapter should be out next week.

"Go ahead and have a seat at the bar and I'll start on breakfast." Alec said as he padded around the bar and into the kitchen to open the refrigerator and retrieve all the needed ingredients. Magnus noted Alec seemed much more comfortable with his home court advantage and was walking around the apartment still without a shirt, which Magnus could only hope would become a usual sight for his mornings, evenings, or nights.

"Oh, would you like some 'Sir Bananas'?" Alec asked popping his head up to look at Magnus.

"Some what?" Magnus asked slightly making a face as he took a seat.

"It's Bananas and milk or bananas, milk, and cocoa, and they are both amazing! I have both so whichever you prefer." Alec said, clearly a fan.

"It's Bananas and milk, so like a milkshake?" Magnus asked.

"Yup. but it's chocked full of nutrients and not that high in sugar, so it's ok for breakfast." Alec stated responsibly.

"And it's called 'Sir Bananas'?" Magnus inquired dubiously.

"Yes, and I just so happen to be a Banana Ambassador." Alec said defiantly while placing a glass full of what appeared to be chocolate milk in front of Magnus. "You look like a chocolate kind of guy." Alec said grinning.

"Well, I've always like trying new things." Magnus sighed before picking the glass up to his lips and taking a large draft of the cold beverage. "Oh my God!" Magnus moaned. "It's just like a milkshake, and it's delicious." Magnus purred to Alec, still in shock now eyeing the carton.

"Told ya." Alec said smugly before turning back to the stove to flip the eggs already sizzling in the pan.

PSA: Sir Bananas is a real thing, and it is delicious, if you haven't tried it, you need this in your life, and you need to share it with everyone you care about! That is all.

"So…" Magnus began, unsure how to start a conversation after the morning they had and the many bumps they'd encountered since meeting. They hadn't known each other for more than a few hours, but the road so far had been a bit bumpier than what Magnus was used to.

Alec seemed to be taking the whole situation fairly well, and it seemed as though he did believe Magnus when he had told him about what had happened, but Magnus still felt like some sort of pervert for insinuating his naked self in the bed of a near stranger without said stranger's recollection. Not that Magnus had done anything, he had told Alec the full truth of what had happened, and he had done his level best to remain an utter gentleman during the night. He would have been lying if he were to say that he had done very well at keeping his eyes where a gentlemen should, but who could blame him?

"So, it's weird now, right?" Alec sighed as he continued to focus on sliding food around the frying pan.

"Is it?" Magnus asked, hoping he wouldn't have lost a chance to get to know Alec before really even starting.

"Well, I wake up and practically accuse you of taking advantage of me when you were nothing but caring to me, and now you seem like your scared to speak. So… yeah, I think it may be a bit weird."

"Alexander, what you thought this morning was entirely understandable. While this whole situation has been a bit… unexpected, I'm still enjoying spending time with you. Unless, you're feeling too weird about the whole waking up to me naked beside you thing." Magnus was a bit nervous, but he felt he needed to know how Alec felt before continuing.

"No, it was, well, I mean…" Alec hefted a sigh and slid the omelet he'd just finished out of the pan and onto a plate before turning around to set it in front of Magnus. "It was… unexpected, that's a good word for it. Though, that doesn't mean it was all that bad, I just…"

"You're not sure of where to go from here?" Magnus supplied.

"Well, no. I think I know where to go, I'm just not sure how to get there?"

"Was that a question?" Magnus was starting to feel a bit lost.

"No, I was just thinking more than I was speaking, and things never seem to sound as good coming out of my mouth as they do in my head." Alec sighed and looked at the floor. Magnus couldn't help but chuckle a bit, knowing the feeling Alec was describing all to well.

"Well, maybe if you tell me where you'd like to go, I can help you get there." Magnus offered as he cut into the omelet and took a large first bite. He couldn't help but moan as the flavors exploded in his mouth, cheeses and peppers wrapped around mushrooms and onions, all folded perfectly throughout the eggs that seemed to have a spice Magnus couldn't place. Alec was a great cook, and Magnus could only wonder where the boy had learned to cook like that. "That is if I don't run off with this omelette first." Magnus moaned as he quickly inhaled another mouthful.

"Would you l-like to go on a d-date with me?" Alec fumbled as he worried the dish towel he'd grabbed off the counter. Magnus started at the quick change of subject, but quickly relaxed and started to grin like a mad man.

"I would love that, sweetness." Magnus beamed. "When would you like to go?"

"Well, it's already 6 o'clock now, so if you wanted to we could get cleaned up and ready to go out by 8 tonight. I have to work almost every day for the next two weeks so I don't think I'll really get another chance until after that." Alec was shuffling as he spoke, and Magnus thought the man had never looked more unsure of himself in the whole 22 hour time frame he had known him. "I mean if you don't want to, I understand, we've been asleep all day, and I'm sure you have things to do…" Alec was cut off mid-ramble by the front door of his apartment crashing open and Izzy pouring in like the devil was on her heels.

"Alec! You have to come quick! Something's up with Xander and I can't get him to stop freaking out!" Izzy shrieked as she ran to her brother's side, not even noticing his state of semi-dress or Magnus siting at the bar also without his shirt.

"Izzy? Wait, slow down. What's happening?" Izzy blinked and blanched as she noticed Magnus, and gave him a quick unsure grin before turning back to Alec.

"I d-don't know Alec. It's … I don't know what is going on, but I think he needs to see you, he's a mess." Izzy was stuttering, and Magnus could tell from just the little he knew of Isabel Lightwood, that if she were stuttering, she must be well and truly flustered. Alec seemed to come the same conclusion judging by the serious mask that had settled on his face before he nodded.

"Ok Iz, let me get dressed and we will head over together."

"I'll come with you." Magnus said.

"No, you don't need to do that." Alec seemed to say out of reflexive politeness.

"He's my protege, and my friend, if he's in need of anything I'm going as well. Plus, someone just asked me on a date and I still haven't gotten to respond yet." Magnus finished with a cocky grin before heading off to the bedroom to dress. He laughed as he watched Alec blush three shades of red and Izzy grinned from ear to ear and punched Alec in the arm.

—

"You dog!" Izzy cried as she punched Alec's arm again.

"Ow! Izzy stop it! I am not a dog!"

"Really? Magnus Bane is still in your apartment at 6'o'clock the evening after you meet him wanting to respond to your invitation for a date while you're serving breakfast in the buff!? Right! Though, I didn't think you had it in you to seal the deal before the first date. Maybe on the first date, but before…"

"Izzy! I didn't seal any deal, I was past out sick, Magnus was taking care of me!"

"Oh, I'm sure he was taking care of you." Izzy said with a comical wink.

"Izzy!"

"Look, I"m not judging, but you should go get dressed quickly so we can go deal with Xander's diva attack and you can get back to not being a total dog!"

"I'm walking away now, because I'm a mature adult, and that kind of childish behavior does not deserve a response."

"Oh god, you sound like Dad!" Izzy teased.

"Walking. Away." Alec clipped.

"Ok Dad." Izzy chuckled before twirling onto a stool at the bar.

She always had to have the last word, Alec noted as he went to his room and quickly changed clothes while Magnus was in the bathroom. After throwing on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and, and a black, zippered sweatshirt, Alec raked his fingers threw his hair and grabbed his wallet, keys, and phone before turning to see Magnus emerge from the bathroom. He looked radiant, with no makeup, except for small highlights of glitter here and there. His hair was falling loosely around his shoulder, and he had on a bright yellow tank top with pale blue-jeans. Magnus looked like he'd just stepped out of the casual section of a men's catalogue and Alec had to remind himself to breath.

"What? Not enough?" Magnus asked as he looked down at his outfit.

"Somehow it's not enough, too much, and absolutely perfect, all at the same time." Alec sighed without thinking. Magnus beamed as Alec blushed and quickly moved down the hall towards his front door. "Are you ready?" He asked looking back to Magnus.

"Yeah, I think I am." Magnus grinned and followed behind Alec as they made there way towards their friend in need.
