Hey guys! Look at me go! So I am going to try to make my chapters a lot longer, I really am. It's hard for me to write longer things, I guess my inspiration comes in sporadic bursts xD. Here's Simon and Alec... I'm doing it in Alec's point of veiw, which I will probably butcher, but I'm giving it a shot. If you guys want, I can do it again in SPoV, in another chapter. Don't really have a lot to say here this time. Without further ado, enjoy the chappie!

APoV

I awoke to cat eyes staring down at me.

"G'mornin Mags."

I stretched lazily and yawned, kissing his nose pre-yawn.

"Good morning love."

His scratchy morning voice was even more prominent after last night *blush*.

"Your mother called, she wants you at the Institute this morning, but says you can come home after lunch."

I groaned, knowing that meant training, and probably helping the newly ascended Simon study. I swung my legs out of bed, sitting up as I did so. I grabbed the nearest black shirt and pair of jeans, still in a fog of sleep. A smile twitched at Magnus' lips, but that was normal. He was entertained (and frustrated) by my brief morning routine.

"Do you want some eggs before I leave?" I offered, knowing that he would have to fend for himself lunch wise, which he wouldn't like. I was the cook in this relationship.

"Who am I to decline?"

Magus winked at me, before practically skipping to his closet to begin the elaborate process of getting ready for the day. I foraged in the fridge for cheese and eggs. I swear it was a jungle in disguise, it was nearly impossible to find anything in there. After a brief minute, the smell of eggs cooking and toast crumbs burning wafted through the apartment. Magnus came out of our bedroom, wearing nothing but bright green leather skinny jeans. I sighed, wanting to stay and have a good makeout session, but alas, there wouldn't be time for that until this afternoon. I scarfed down my eggs and toast, kissed Magnus goodbye, and was out of the apartment to begin my morning.

I stepped into the Institute, nearly walking into Jace in the process. He wolf whistled as he saw me.

"What?" I snapped, really not in the mood for jokes.

"Have you seen your shirt recently?" He responded, giving me a teasing smirk. I instantly took it off, my eyes widening as I saw that it was indeed black, but with hot pink writing that claimed Sexy Beast. I groaned, remembering that Magnus had been wearing it yesterday, and in our, ah, haste, as it were, to get to bed, his shirt probably ended up on my side, and mine on his. Resigned to the teasing that was to come, I put the shirt back on, and headed for the training room, Jace following behind me.

I sighed as I stepped out of the shower, rivulets of water running down my chest and back from my still-dripping hair. Training had been brutal, as usual. It always was when Jace and I trained without anyone to interrupt our insane competitions. I threw on my jeans and a shirt I had stolen from Jace's drawer, refusing to claim I was a "Sexy Beast" for the rest of the day. Running my fingers through my hair to get rid of a little more moisture, I headed to the library to work with Simon.

Simon's smile seemed drawn and slightly fake as I approached him and nodded in greeting. As we sat down to begin tort- studying, Simon spoke up, his words as thin as his smile.

"Ah, Alec? May I ask you a question?"

Deciding he needed to lighten up (although who was I to talk) I grinned and said "You just did. But sure, go ahead."

He gave a nervous chuckle, and then seemed to steel himself, a faint tremble in his hands.

"I wanted your blessing to ask Isabelle to marry me. I love her very much, and have no intentions of ever harming her. Since Robert is not much of a father, I am asking you. Jace has given his blessing, but I know that Izzy looks up to you very much, and-"

I took pity on the boy, and cut off his rambling.

"Simon, before I agree to give my blessing, I have a few questions for you."

Looking relieved that I wasn't lunging at his throat, he nodded.

"One, what are your thoughts on making a family? I know that Izzy adores children, and I wanted to know your opinion."

He smiled happily and replied me "I would love nothing more than to create a family with the person I love most in the world."

Nodding in approval, I continued.

"Izzy has had, ah, conquests, in the past. Are you alright with that?"

"What's past is past, and as long as she has no intentions of continuing with conquests if we do become engaged and married, I am content with her and her past."

I smiled at him and smiled.

"I wish you the best of luck, better make that proposal romantic."

A smile split his face, and he let out a relieved and exhilarated laugh. Sensing that we would not get much done in studying, I sent him off, warning him that this would mean extra studying next time.

Okay guys, what'd you think? I know I said I'd try to make this longer, but I just felt like I needed a new chapter for Simon's proposal. I'll get on that as soon as possible, but for now, adios!

Hugs,
