Jace walked into the room ready to disprove Izzy's words, when he took in the scene. Alec and Sebastian had jumped away from each other, but the guilty blushes on both boy's faces paired with the cheeky smirk on Sebastian's face, that he was obviously trying to hide, showed just what they'd been caught doing.
"Did a bomb go off in here?" Jace asked as he looked at the kitchen.
There was brownie mixture covering the floor and countertops, although the majority of it was still caked into Sebastian's hair. There were still a few drops running down his face and shoulders, and the overall appearance seemed to suit Sebastian's sometimes mischievous manor.
"I dropped the bowl," Alec said, still refusing to look up at his siblings.
"On Sebastian's head?" Izzy asked in a disbelieving tone.
"Yes?" Alec replied.
"And I'm sure it was all an accident," Jace said sarcastically, and Sebastian stifled a laugh.
Alec nudged Sebastian, but this only made the younger boy laugh more, and soon Alec started to softly chuckle as well, once again not being able to resist the carefree nature that Sebastian seemed to draw out of him.
"And so then the two of you just accidentally locked lips?" Izzy asked, remembering the bet.
"No, that definitely was not an accident," Sebastian said, smiling at Alec.
"Dammit," Jace said as he reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Alec asked as Jace reluctantly handed over his money to Izzy. "Did the two of you have a bet?"
"Yeah, and thanks to you two I just lost," Jace grumbled.
"Ooh, I can use this to pay for dinner tonight! Oh, you're so generous Jace, paying for my date with Simon," Izzy said as she then turned and made her way out of the Institute, presumably to meet Simon.
Jace then looked back at Alec and Sebastian, and noticed that at some point the two men had linked hands, and were looking at each other as if Jace didn't exist.
"So, are you two, like dating now or something?" Jace asked awkwardly.
"I guess so," Alec said, watching Sebastian and judging the other boy's reaction.
"We will be once your brother agrees to go out with me," Sebastian said, flashing one of his signature smiles as Alec chuckled softly.
"Right, good, okay then, I'm going to, uh, go now…have fun," Jace said as he also left the kitchen, suddenly feeling completely out of place.
"Perhaps siblings aren't always that great," Sebastian said once Jace was out of sight.
"We'll just have to be more careful. I'd rather not mentally scar them," Alec said, and Sebastian laughed softly as he pulled Alec closer by the belt loops in his jeans.
"Well I think we've scared them off for now," Sebastian whispered against Alec's ear, and he then took the lobe into his mouth and sucked on it gently.
Alec gasped and pressed himself closer to Sebastian, connecting their lips once Sebastian let go of Alec's earlobe. Alec's hands went to Sebastian hips, whilst Sebastian's hands slipped under then hem of Alec's shirt and started to trace his muscled torso, his fingertips lightly teasing the skin. Alec nipped at Sebastian's bottom lip, asking for entrance, which the other boy gladly gave, and as their tongues met they battled for dominance. Sebastian gave in shortly, moaning as Alec took control and lightly pushed him against the kitchen counter. Sebastian pulled Alec's shirt up, and Alec quickly tugged the garment off, disconnecting his lips from Sebastian's for a moment. Instead of reconnecting their lips Sebastian started to kiss along Alec's jaw and neck, smirking as the older shadow hunter tilted his chin up to allow Sebastian easier access. As Sebastian continued to travel further down Alec's body his lips came to Alec's Adam's apple, and he stopped there to suck at the sensitive skin with more vigor, and as he did so reached up one of his hands to Alec's nipple, rolling his fingers over it until he earned a delectable moan from Alec, who also thrust his hips forward subconsciously. Sebastian groaned at the contact, and pushed himself flush against Alec until the two were impossibly close. It was at that moment that Alec's brain finally started to catch up with his body, however the pure lust driving him still meant that Alec wanted to suppress the rational thoughts in his mind that were telling him this was going too fast. He wanted what he had with Sebastian to last, on not be just some rebound fling that was over the same day it had begun.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Sebastian asked, having sensed Alec's sudden hesitation.
"I just think this is going a bit fast," Alec whispered, and he cursed himself for voicing his opinion as he felt his desire continue to overwhelm him.
"Yeah, I know, sorry, I just…find it very hard to keep my hands off of you," Sebastian said cheekily, however he did put some distance between himself and Alec, who then also stepped away so that the younger man wasn't trapped between him and the counter any longer.
Alec chuckled at that, and his voice was deeper than usual as he tried to regain himself.
"About what Jace was saying, about dating," Sebastian said, "I just realised I never actually asked you… would you like to go out with me?"
"Yeah, I really would," Alec said, and then laughed at their slightly absurd situation. "Now we just have to figure out what we should do about this mess."
"I don't see anything wrong," Sebastian said, looking over the kitchen as if he was oblivious to the chaos around him.
"Sebastian, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure this isn't how you make brownies."
