campfires. so calming, so happy, so free. Ive loved campfires for decades, centuries. I love campfires. and on this lovely summer night i was leaning against my lovely boyfriend surrounded by my all to wonderful peers. izzy and clary were cuddling on the log next to jace and simon holding hands and talking. i truly couldn't ask for a better group. "magnus? what are you thinking about, love?" asked my beautiful boyfriend looking down at me. "just me and you and them" i replied motioning towards the couples. "pretty great huh?" i nodded.

about an hour passed, of us talking and cuddling when maryse and robert came to join the group. oh god, "mom, dad? what are you doing here?" izzy asked removing her head from clary's lap. "we thought we could join in on whatever you kids were doing" i chuckled at the use of 'kids' since I'm literally centuries older than her. "well, we weren't doing very much, mom, just hanging out." jace stepped in. "well lets hang out then" robert said enthusiastically. it was quite nice actually, having them there, not judging alec and i.

around half an hour of us engaging with robert and maryse, and obviously the rest of our friends, clary piped in with a funny story about how she and izzy were out and she tripped and fell and deactivated her glamour and some lady screamed, it was funny in the moment. alec then told about something i said on our date the other date, it was all really fun. "the other night, maryse and i were at the institute," robert began, "and duncan came up to us and asked us to check how iris was holding up, of course we go to the table and begin to search, then duncan walks over again and asked if we needed help, if we knew how to do it," him and maryse began cracking up at this point, i was confused as to why, he continued "and we looked at him, and maryse quickly said to him, 'what, do we look like half-breeds to you?'"
really. they had to. it was going so, so well.
they were laughing their asses off, not even realizing the weight of what he just said. with a dirty glare, i stood up and walked away, as i was walking away, frustrated, i heard alec "are you serious? half breed? you really just insult my boyfriend like that?" i slightly smiled at his defense over me. i heard his quick footsteps behind me. of course it was alec, he wrapped his arm around me we stopped, "I'm so, so sorry for them, they don't know common sense. I'm sorry. " alec apologized, "alexander, darling. don't apologize, you did absolutely nothing, thank you for defending me." he nodded, i turned and leaned in, out faces inches apart "its okay, really. i just dont love that term." i reassured him, i could tell he was tensing up. he nodded again, leaning in closer, just as we were about to seal our lips, i felt a hand on my shoulder, damnit jace, "magnus, I'm really sorry about them, the rest of us are heading back to the institute now, want to come?" he asked, "I'm going to go back to the loft, thank you, jace." he nodded, "coming alec?" jace asked his parabitai. "I'm going back with him." he looked at me as if to ask if that was okay, of course i smiled and nodded, he basically lives with me now anyway, he has a key and stays over almost every night. "alright, see you tomorrow morning. and magnus, ill talk to my parents." jace said, a very soft tone, one that was rare with jace. "thanks jace" he ran off to catch up with his boyfriend, sister and friend. alec and i interlaced our fingers and began walking back to the loft.
i was content, a bit upset over the event that partook minutes ago, but content, with my boyfriend, walking, smiling, talking. i was happy.
