Izzy slumped on the couch next to him, snuggling up to his long body. They were close; parabatai. Izzy wrapped both of her short arms around his much larger arm. His other arm was pressed onto the back of the couch with a laid back look. Leaning her head on his shoulder, Izzy spoke with a slight whine in her voice, "Ced, I've missed you too much. You can't leave anymore."
"Of course," Cedric replied while giving his best friend a kiss on the forehead. He hadn't even left the institute, in fact, Cedric had only gone to the bathroom for a matter of three minutes. Izzy had a tendency to exaggerate, one thing that Cedric loved about her. Lowering his voice, Cedric whispered down to his parabatai, "Honestly, Iz, I can't decide whether Alec's arse looks better in those leather pants or in jeans."
"As his sister, I must say I'm disgusted that you're telling me this, but please, do go on," Izzy replied with a mischievous smirk. She loved when Cedric spoke to her about such things, it showed how much he valued her.
Alec looked at the two while hiding the smirk that tried to escape his lips, "I can hear you, y'know." He continued to lace up his shoes, taking his time to stand back up from his crouched position and glance at Cedric and Izzy. Getting into a standing position, Alec walked over to the two with crossed arms. His tone was joking and he rose an eyebrow, "Cedric, being without you was excruciating. Never leave me again."
"Being without you is ripping me to shreds," Cedric replied seriously. They continued to maintain eye-contact. Neither knew if the other was serious, but they felt an underlying tone. Alec and Cedric helped the other manage to realize that they were both gay. When they were fourteen, they recognized that they didn't take notice of the girls growing around them, and instead, took notice of boys. Both kept it hidden, knowing that it would be frowned upon by many. Hell, Alec and Cedric kissed each other just to make sure.
"I never know if you two are joking or serious," Izzy commented while standing up and making her way out of the room. She turned at the doorway and looked back at the boys, "Do either of you want anything to eat?"
"God, no," the boys replied with an eye roll. Izzy marched out of the room and Cedric stood. He stopped when he was right in front of Alec, his voice dropping to a low, husky tone. Slipping onto his lips was a smooth smirk, testing Alec to do something.
Smoothly, Cedric's eyes darted from Alec's lips to his eyes, "I was serious, you know."
"About what?"
"Being without you is actually ripping me to shreds, Lightwood," Cedric licked his lips before sending one last fleeting glance to Alec's lips. He walked out of the room with the image of the luscious, pink mouth on his own.
