To Tell a Good Story

Phoe's Tumblr Drabbles

"Puppy, do tell me why my new DJ thinks I'm your sugar daddy."

Jace accidentally dropped his book and made a high-pitched, surprised noise as he looked up at his roommate and long time crush. It took him a moment to catch up, especially when Magnus was looking at him like that.

"...Oh", whispered Jace when he realized.

"Elaborate on what that means, please."

Magnus was leaning against the backrest of the couch now, looming over Jace. This was very unfair, because it... kind of turned Jace on to have Magnus loom over him like that. Gulping, the blonde sat up.

"Well. Bat's friend's with Maia and Simon, right? And... kind of dating Maia now. And he's really obsessed with romance. He loves the childhood sweetheart, true love conquers all romance of Simon and Clary. So when he asked me who my last date with was..."

"You thought I make for a good story?", guessed Magnus amused.

"Well, a better story than 'my last date was kind of with your girlfriend when we tried to be a thing for a hot minute after an intense one-night-stand behind a bar'... That's kind of... especially with a guy so in love with love like Bat... So I just... blurted out the next name I could think of."

"And the next name that came to you, after thinking about your last hook up, was me?"

"I realized that was not the best answer, but before I could take it back, Bat was already talking a mile a minute about how that explained why I was living with you, since he heard the story from Simon but kind of never really figured out why I was still living with you and... yeah."

Magnus narrowed his eyes at him before smirking. "You want to date me. Mh. Interesting. Why did you never just ask?"

"...Seriously?", grunted Jace gruffly. "Because you're... you. You're Magnus Bane. The big badass High Warlock whose type I'm not."

"Oh come on, you're not still pouting about me calling Alexander a pretty boy when we all first met? I was teasing", huffed Magnus amused. "Oh, I am so calling Alexander right now!"

"What. Why. No."

"I have to tell him, Lorenzo and Andrew how adorable you are and honestly, this is the most delightful getting-together story anyone in our strange group of friends has to tell."

"...Getting together story?", echoed Jace softly, but Magnus was already gone, phone on his ear. "GET BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN, BANE!"
