„The guy over there bought you that drink." the bartender said and placed a glass full of some dark liquid in front of the three boys.

Magnus, Alec and Jace looked at each other.

„How nice of him." Jace said as he reached for the drink at the same time Magnus did.

The warlock shot him a pitiful glance. „Oh, wonderboy." he said. „Do you seriously believe this one´s for you? Look at that guy." he gestured towards the young man sitting at the bar in a short distance, smiling at them. He was dark-haired, well-built and had a three-day beard that made him look even more interesting. He kind of reminded him of one of the Hemsworth-brothers. „He definitely looks like he wants to try out some magic." The warlock said, wiggling his fingers suggestively, sending out a few sparks of blue light.

Alec cleared his throat to catch his attention. „There´s your boyfriend sitting right next to you!" he reminded him.

But the other two ignored him. Jace rolled his eyes at Magnus, showing him how ridiculous he found it that Magnus was being hit at while he himself was left aside. „Oh, come on. He rather wants to get a taste of the neverending stamina of a nephilim."

„You have a girlfriend. And you´re not even into men." Alec´s words went unheard.

„So you´re saying that Mr Gorgeous would prefer a dull blonde teenage boy over my magnificent self? You´ve got to be kidding." Magnus flashed a superior smile.

„Mr Gorgeous?" Alec squeaked.

„I´m saying everyone would prefer me over you. Look at me. I´m the epitome of sexiness. The word sexy has been invented solely for me, because they ran out of adjectives for describing my incredible good looks." Jace crossed his arms over his chest and showed a rather self-satisfied expression.

Magnus snorted. „The word sexy has been used to describe me centuries before you were even born. Another word would be excessively hot stuff."

Alec put his elbow onto the bar and rested his head on his hand. „Does anyone care I am here?"

„Apparently someone does.", said the bartender. He was busy drying up a beer mug, while watching the three of them with an amused grin. „For your information: The drink was for you. The steamy one with the blue eyes next to the blonde and the Asian, he said. Seems like you´re the only one of you three who made an impression."

Alec´s eyes widened. For a moment, he was too surprised to react. Then he grinned and turned around. His friends had gotten silent and stared at Alec as if they´d just remembered his existence.
„Excuse me, what was that about being sexy?" Alec said.

Magnus´ lip twitched up into a small smirk. „I should´ve known." he muttered.

Jace sat back down on a bar chair. „So. Not. Fair." he said.

The guy who looked like Chris Hemsworth winked at Alec and waved a hand at him. Alec gave him a weak smile, but shoved the glass away from him. He leaned forward so that the bartender could hear him. „Tell him ´thank you` from me, but I´m not interested. I am already in a perfectly good relationship." The bartender nodded and headed to the dark-haired guy. From the distance they could only see that they exchangend some words, before the guy looked up at Alec again. He nodded understandingly, shrugged and left his place at the bar.

Alec looked at Magnus and Jace proudly. „See, that´s how it´s done." he said.

Magnus rolled his eyes. „You´re one to talk. I didn´t see you rejecting Surfer Boy or Jessica last week. You seem to forget that you already have a handsome boyfriend a lot lately."

Alec frowned. „Hey, I didn´t do anything!"

„Yes – that´s the problem, darling!"

Jace laughed out lout. „Don´t mind him, Alec, he´s just being jealous."

„I´m not!" Magnus claimed. „It just bothers me when Alec casts an eye at someone other than me."

Jace put a hand on Magnus´ shoulder. „Dude, this is jealousy."

Alec tried very hard to fight the urge to smile widely. A jealous Magnus was something he rather liked. It even gave him a proper answer to why Magnus had been so... intense after the last party.
Alec made a mental note to himself: Possessive Magnus is passionate Magnus.
It was an information he could use for his own benefit – not that he´d do something that egoistic. Though it can´t be faulted if both of them could profit from it, he decided.

„Well, if I gave you the impression that I even had the slightest interest in Surfer Boy, how you call him, I´m sorry. I just really didn´t realize he´d be so pushy, and maybe I would´ve realized earlier if not for the amount of wine I had drunk..." he said. „But well, I´m not that good at that flirting-stuff anyway." he added in a low voice.

Magnus raised an eyebrow at him. „Oh really?" he asked incredulously. „Sorry to break it to you sweetie, but in fact you´re an excellent flirter. Remember that time in Venice when you-"

Jace´s coughs interrupted him violently. „I´m afraid this happy memory will lead to something I obviously don´t want to hear. So please change the subject, because we agreed that this would be a guys night out and not a date night where Jace is the fifth wheel. You better tone it down now, thank you very much!"

Magnus smirked. „I don´t mind. Then we´ll catch up on all those controlled feelings later, that makes it even more intense if you know what I mean."

Jace´s expression was one of pure horror. „Why Magnus? Just why?"


A/N: Hey, so this is rather a filler with a bit of jealous Alec for a change. I´m not too pleased with this chapter, but I wanted to post it still, because I´ve been writing on it for what feels like ages. I´m kind of in a writer´s block, so I´d really appreciate reviews or PMs with some ideas for how I could continue this story. Well, that´s it. Hope you like the chapter anyway :)
