3) ''So Much For A Romantic Dinner''

A/N This is the first date chapter, it's cute but slightly cringe. Enjoy!

~M~

The boy was late and I was becoming impatient. I lay on the new velvet couch I had bought, with real money this time, and relaxed. I knew he would come and my thoughts were confirmed when the buzzer went off. He was only six minutes late, nothing more than a usual person would be but something inside me said that he wasn't one to be late at all.

I pulled myself from the lavish sofa and towards the door, opening it revealing a sweating, nervous Alec. His shirt was beautiful, it was a deep blue and it matched his eyes- I was surprised because it looked like he chose the rest of the outfit himself. It almost seemed out of place but he was nonetheless beautiful and it reminded me why I had done this at all.

'I'm sorry I'm late, I was getting ready. I mean...I don't...don't worry...but I'm really, really sorry.' The words all became one and I could hardly differentiate them but I heard the sorry and that was enough.

'Calm down, Alexander, you're barely late. Five minutes late is impressive to some of the people that have visited before.' Alec looked nervous as I talked of my exes and I dropped the subject immediately. I didn't want this to turn out as bad as some dates had been to recently.

'Come in.' I smiled and motioning him in, trying to stop the atmosphere from being awkward. He seemed relaxed enough but I could tell he was still tense- though all shadowhunters were- so I led him to the sofa and sat down next to him.

'Where are we going then?' He asked, still catching his breath as we closed in on each other. I leaned in and my lips brushed his. He flushed a bright shade of red, one I was beginning to enjoy seeing, as I spoke. 'Places.' He didn't seem satisfied with my vague answer but I distracted him with the kiss I had been craving since that morning.

This kiss was longer than the one before, we had both been craving this for hours now. I could tell he was much more willing for this kiss than the last one. This one, to my utter disbelief, was so much better.

The fluttering in my stomach that had happened last time was now a storm inside of me. Small sparks flew from my fingers as I tugged on his hair gently, him doing the same to me. This was how I wished all kisses would be: perfection.

We pulled away for the breath at the same time, his much heavier as he was still catching his breath from earlier. We had beaming smiles on our faces and Alec's blush had only grown stronger.

I stroked his cheek and he immediately went to cover his cheeks as he saw what I was staring out. I shook my head, silently telling him not to be embarrassed. He smiled nervously, 'lead the way,' he whispered and I complied easily.

I immediately led him out of the door and we started walking the streets side by side. I boldly took his hand and he looked around nervously but never made a move to pull away. It was silent and quiet in the streets, contrasting to those I'm sure he was often around in Manhattan.

I had chosen Brooklyn for the quiet and the beauty. It really was an amazing place and I was glad to be living there, although it was an unfortunately long journey from the Institute. I shook my head, I had known this man for a day and I was already acting as if we were far into this relationship.

That was just what he did to me. I was already falling and falling hard I was. Alec was glancing around again and I could see the nervousness in his eyes. It was anxiety I saw in all the people who hadn't come out yet. I sighed but sucked it up- at this point, I would already do anything for him.

I was surprised at the courage he showed when he leaned his head on my shoulder and wrapped his arm around my waist. I couldn't withhold the bright smile and my face and leaned my head upon his for a second before we continued walking in silence, a comfortable silence.
