When Alec met the love of his Life

Chapter 3

Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter :) 

Alec was sitting with Underhill at a café, he had plans to meet up with Magnus later. Part of Alec was dreading it, he was afraid of confronting the truth about his relationship. But he knew that he had to, he had considered talking to one of the others about this but he was too afraid to, it had been hard enough talking to Magnus that night a few weeks ago. Shaking himself out of his thoughts he noticed that Underhill was staring at Raphael who worked at the café. Alec knew that Underhill had a big crush on Raphael and had for a while but had been to afraid to make a move.

"So you still like Raphael huh?" Alec asked though it wasn't really a question.

"What no!"

"You know, you're voice always goes very high pitched when you're lying", Alec said with a grin.

Underhill rolled his eyes, "Okay fine I like him. But I don't know if he likes me, what if he doesn't-" Underhill was interrupted when Raphael came over and placed a cup of coffee in front of him and gave him a rare smile. "Um... I didn't order this".

"It's on the house", Raphael said and left after smiling at Underhill again who shyly smiled back at him.

"See he likes you".

"He probably just gave me this because I'm a loyal customer".

"He smiled at you twice", Alec protested, "The only other people he'll smile at are Magnus and Simon".

Underhill looked behind him and quickly turned back to Alec blushing when Raphael grinned at him. "Maybe you have a point but even if something did happen Simon might hate me and I don't want to lose him

"It's Simon he wouldn't hate you, but maybe you could talk to him about it first".

Underhill thought for a bit before replying, "Yeah, yeah I'll do that thanks Alec".

"No problem", Alec said and his smile widened when he saw Raphael staring at Underhill. Suddenly Simon came rushing into the coffee shop, he had been unable to come because he was on a date with Jace and Alec was suprised to see him. He wondered if Simon had super hearing and had heard them talking about him, the thought made him smile wider. Simon ran to them and almost tripped in his haste.

"Guys I need to talk to you right now!" Simon said excitedly and motioned them to follow him out of the café. Alec was even more suprised to see Jace and the rest of their friendship group. Magnus gave Alec a look silently asking if he had any idea what was going on and Alec shrugged.

"What's going on? You guys are worrying me" Izzy said.

Simon shared a grin with Jace, "I can't believe you guys haven't noticed". Simon said and waved his left hand.

Alec's eyes widened and he hugged Simon and Jace at the same time, "Congratulations!"

Everyone had a mix of shock and happiness on their faces and they all hugged joined the hug with so much force that they all fell on top of Jace and Simon. Simon laughed and Jace's heart swelled with love he had never been so happy. Jace was so grateful Jordan wasn't there, he would have spoiled his and Simon's happiness. He knew he wouldn't be able to keep this from him for long but Jace put that thought in the back of his mind and instead focused on Simon's sparkling eyes. Everyone got up and helped Jace and Simon get up.

"So when's the wedding?" Underhill said excitedly.

"We don't know yet this all happened so fast", Jace said as he gently brought Simon close to him, Simon gladly put his arm around Jace's waist and rested his head on his shoulder.
