"You're early Iz" Alec yawned and shut the door.

"I couldn't wait to show you what I bought you to wear for our double date." Izzy's eyes gleamed, she had already sat down on the black leather sofa and was ruffling through all her bags, pulling out a shirt and jacket. Alec suddenly felt nervous, he didn't usually wear fancy clothes, he didn't really bother with his appearance. He felt comfortable in jeans and old jumpers that were either grey, black or brown. He never styled his hair and only ever wore converse. "Try this on", Izzy held out a dark blue button-down shirt for Alec to try on, he liked the colour at least. He grabbed the shirt and walked into his room, closing the door behind him, he sighed and started pulling off his plain grey t-shirt, throwing it on his bed, he picked up the blue shirt and put it on, he took a deep breath before opening the door to show his sister.

Izzy looked up, her eyes gazed at her brother in the shirt she had chosen for him. "Perfect. Put this on over it" she handed Alec a leather jacket, he owned a few leather jackets but this one seemed fancier, if that was possible. He slipped the jacket on, it fit perfectly, Izzy really did have an eye for fashion and always got the sizing right. "You look great Alec. Now, what to do with your hair."

Alec looked confused, "what's wrong with my hair?"

"Nothing, apart from the fact that it looks like it hasn't been brushed in a week." She could see the annoyed look in his eyes, "relax bro, I'm just going to put some gel in it."

An hour later and Izzy had finished poking and prodding at Alec, gelling his hair and spiking it, plucking the stray hairs from his eyebrows and straightening up his outfit. She pulled her big brother towards the long mirror hanging on the wall in the hall. His eyes lit up in surprise when he saw his reflection, his black hair was neatly spiked with the back brushed down, his eyebrows looked better, not that he would ever admit that to his sister. The shirt was tight against his body, but not too tight, it showed off his arms and his chest a little. Izzy had let him wear jeans if they were black and skinny. She relented and gave in, letting him wear his black converse. The leather jacket completed the look and Alec thought he looked decent.

"Thanks, Iz" Alec smiled, "is it my turn to give you a makeover now?"

"Not in a million years would I let you give me a makeover, dear brother." She laughed and walked over to the sofa where her bags lay, she reached into one and pulled out a red silk dress, which Alec thought was way too short. She set it down on the sofa and proceeded to reach into another bag and pulled out a pair of black heels. Alecs protective big brother instincts were kicking in. "Isabelle Sophia Lightwood, you are not wearing that!"

Izzy laughed, "relax Alec, I'll be perfectly covered." Before he could say anything back in protest, his little sister had collected her things from the sofa and gone into his room to get changed. Alec sat down on the sofa and flicked through the tv whilst waiting for Izzy, she always took hours getting ready. He started thinking about his date, was he short? Tall? Did he have light or dark hair? Would he like Alec? Izzy hadn't really told Alec much about who his date was, only that his name was Magnus and he was good friends with her 'boyfriend' Raphael and was apparently very good looking. Alec was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his bedroom door open and saw Izzy walking out, she looked beautiful and so much like their mother. She stood tall in the red silk dress, which wasn't as short as Alec had originally thought. The black heels made her a few inches taller, her long black hair rested in neat curls past her shoulders. She wore a dark red lipstick and a red pendant necklace. "What do you think?" she asked.

Alec straightened up, "I think you better be wearing a jacket with that outfit."

"Always the protective brother, but yes I am. Brooklyn is rather cold this time of year." She grabbed her leather jacket off the sofa and slipped it on effortlessly, she grabbed her handbag, which no doubt had lots of makeup in, Alec thought.

"Are you ready? I said we would meet them at 7."

Alec took one final look at himself in the mirror, "yeah, let's go."

They arrived at The River Café. It was beautiful and overlooked the Brooklyn bridge. "Evening" spoke Izzy, "I have a reservation for four under the name Lightwood."

"Yes, the rest of your party have already arrived. If you could follow me, please." They followed the maître de to their table.

"Isabelle, you look beautiful." Spoke a deep, but calm voice. That must be Raphael, Alec thought. "Thank you, Raphael, as do you." Izzy turned to Alec, "this is my brother Alec, Alec, this is Raphael, my date." Raphael held out his hand for Alec to shake, Alec shook his hand, "nice to meet you."

Raphael turned towards Magnus, Alec hadn't even looked at him, he felt too nervous. "This is my good friend Magnus Bane" Magnus stood, he was wearing tight leather pants, and wore a purple silk button down shirt with a black ascot. His hair was pitch black and spiked, he wore eyeliner and his nails painted black. His eyes were a beautiful yellow/green colour and shone brightly. He remembered thinking that Magnus was an unusual name, but now that he had met him, he thought the name suited him. Alec thought he was beautiful. "Pleasure to meet you both", he turned to face Alec, "you look gorgeous Alexander", Alec blushed, but said nothing, he wasn't used to having someone think he looked gorgeous. They proceeded to sit down, Alec couldn't focus on anything, he couldn't stop staring at the beautiful man sitting in front of him.

Magnus spoke first, "tell me about yourself." Alec could already tell that Magnus was confident and said what he wanted.

Alec took a sip of his water, "what would you like to know?", he said nervously.
