Please vomment and let me know your thought, thank you :D

The next afternoon Alec found himself sitting alone in the living room.

Isabelle was in her room-probably phoning one of the many boys who were currently interested in her- and Jace had gone roller-blading with Clary. He had finally plucked up the courage to tell her that he wanted them to spend more time together and so now he had resigned himself to a weekend of shopping, talking about his feelings and generally doing other, what Alec considered to be annoying, girly things that he was sure Jace had no interest in.

Ah the things people do for love.

But that was how Alec found himself alone in his living room flicking through re-runs of ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ because he had nothing better to do. But watching the show only made him think about Magnus; it was one of his favourite programmes.

When he wasn’t seeing clients or helping them the warlock loved to settle down with a tub of ‘Ben and Jerry’s Cookie Dough’ and watch multiple episodes of ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ and now watching the programme only reminded him that it had been over 36 hours since he had last seen him.

He knew that things between them had been all over the place in the past week-especially in the last few days- and Alec wanted to change that. Checking his phone he saw that it was 3:15. Plenty of time to organise a…surprise for Magnus in order to treat him and enable them to spend some well-deserved quality time with each other.

And Alec had the perfect idea.

Magnus yanked his hair out of his eyes exasperatedly, sighing as he entered through his front door. It had been a long day. He had run out to do a few errands and then, while buying a frothy hot chocolate-with whipped cream and marshmallows, of course-when one of his previous clients came forward asking for help with a particularly nasty and long winded problem involving his girlfriend being turned into a frog, which had taken practically the entire day.

Now Magnus was looking forward to a relaxing evening lounging on his sofa and catching up on the episodes of The Jeremy Kyle Show he had missed. That was until he spotted something unusual on his coffee table-something that hadn’t been there before. Only Alec had a key to his apartment, so what was this and who had planted it?

Walking towards it slowly Magnus picked up the small sheet of folded paper from off of the table warily but his face broke into a broad grin when he recognised the hand-writing.

The note read:

Magnus,

I’m taking you out on a date tonight. I’ll pick you up at your flat at 7 but I’d recommend you start to get ready now because I know how long you take. The dress code is formal, so no leather trousers…unfortunately. I’ve made reservations at a restaurant-hope you like Italian.

See you soon,

Alec    x

Well, there went his relaxing evening…and the warlock couldn’t be happier. Magnus couldn’t stop beaming. He hadn’t been on a proper date in years and he was feeling both excited and slightly nervous. But this adorably sweet gesture was so unlike Alec, who wasn’t normally one to take the initiative, and it made Magnus feel all warm inside. His little Shadowhunter was coming out of his shell-and Magnus loved it.
