"Excuse me, Magnus! Just what wedding are we talking about?" Isabelle hissed, following on the heels of the warlock.
"Is my face still blue?" Magnus asked instead, shoving his face close to Isabelle's.
"No, you are officially back to being a copper-skinned beauty." Isabelle said, rolling her eyes.
"Perfect. Thanks Izzy." Magnus said, winking. He blinked, and disappeared.
"Hey! Magnus!" Isabelle groaned. "Warlock cheater." She walked over to her older brother.
"What is going on with you two? This is ridiculous and I demand you both stop it right now." she said, idly removing her bracelet from her wrist and twirling it.
"Hey, put your whip away." Alec said firmly, grabbing her hand.
"Don't tell me what to do." Isabelle snapped, but obeyed. "I wanted to do that."
"Sure. And I don't know. I just- and he just- so-so-" Alec stopped talking, his mouth dropping open as he watched his boyfriend saunter over to the couch where a gorgeous brunette was sitting. Magnus draped a casual arm around the brunette's shoulders. Magnus threw back his head laughing at something the brunette said, then looked back and winked at Alec.
Alec swore furiously under his breath, then glanced at Isabelle, who was watching him with an amused look on her face.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow. "Well?"
"Give me your whip."
"Are you sure this is a good-" Isabelle began, but Alec imperiously held out his hand.
"Ok, fine. And not a scratch on this." Isabelle warned, sliding it off her wrist.
"Don't worry, I'm not planning to use it. I just need the right accessory."
"Hurry up and get your boyfriend already, this party is boring and I want to go to Taki's." Isabelle sighed heavily. "I need breakfast food."
"It's ten o'clock at night." Alec said incredulously, coiling the whip into a bracelet.
"So? Breakfast food time is all the time."
Alec swaggered over to Magnus and the brunette, aware that his boyfriend was watching.
"Why, hello Alec." Magnus said, eyes flickering to the brunette. "This is my new friend, Adam."
Adam nodded, eyes fixed on the television.
"Nice to meet you," Alec said, taking Adam's hand and holding it for a long moment. Adam nodded again, then awkwardly pulled his hand away.
"Now Alec, give Adam his hand back." Magnus said with forced laughter. He ran his fingers through Adam's hair and Adam jumped a little.
"Magnus, Magnus." Alec said. "Don't touch people who don't want to be touched." He slid the whip bracelet off his wrist and lightly tapped it. It uncurled and Alec gently sent it toward Magnus, pulling it carefully around his wrist.
"You were saying?" Magnus said, as Alec got up and walked around the brunette. Alec pulled lightly and Magnus stood up to follow him, unable to take his eyes from him.
"Let's go. Isabelle wants Taki's." Alec said, unwrapping the whip from around his wrist. "And I believe she wants this back as well."
"Mm, breakfast food." Magnus said, smiling and taking Alec's hand.
Alec shook his head, pulling Magnus closer. "By the Angel, I don't understand how you two can eat breakfast food at any time of the day or night."
"So what have we decided? Who's the jealous one?" Isabelle said, upon seeing Alec and Magnus hand-in-hand and Magnus leaning into Alec.
"Neither. We've decided no more question games." Magnus said firmly.
"We both get jealous." Alec said, stroking a piece of Magnus's hair out of his eyes.
"Ugh. Too much cuteness." Isabelle said, reclaiming her whip. "Well boys, I think we've learned some good lessons today."
"Yep." Magnus said, kissing Alec's cheek.
"Definitely." Alec said, stopping where he was and tilting Magnus's face towards his. They embraced and began kissing passionately.
"So…we're never going to get to Taki's are we…" Isabelle asked.
Magnus broke the kiss to say: "Probably-" before Alec reclaimed his mouth.
Isabelle dug in her purse for her phone, dialing Jace's number.
"I'm calling Jace to drag you both to Taki's!"
"Ugh, Izzy, you are no fun." Magnus teased, linking arms with her while holding hands with Alec. Magnus relieved Alec of his hat and placed it on his own head, smiling broadly.
"You know what's fun? Breakfast food is fun. I love breakfast food." Isabelle said pointedly, glaring daggers as she retrieved her coat.
"I guess you're a little fun. You know what's more fun?" Magnus said, waving goodbye to Jordan and Maia.
"Glittery breakfast food?"
"How'd you know?"
"Lucky guess."
Later that night, after they had all eaten as many glittery blue breakfast waffles as they could, Isabelle let out a contented sigh and licked her glittery blue lips. "You're right. The glitter does make it more fun."
