Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 20- Morning Date

Alec woke up that morning to his alarm going off at 7 am. He shut it off quickly when he heard a grumble from Magnus beside him and got up. Getting dressed quickly before leaving the apartment to go shopping for their breakfast.

Magnus woke up to the smell of food seeping through the door and looked at his phone to see it was 9 am. He sat up and yawned, about to get out of bed when he noticed Alec wasn't beside him but the door opened before he had a chance to. He was met with the sight of Alec, dressed in his black jeans and a dark maroon t-shirt carrying a tray.

"Morning Angel" Alec smiled widely when he saw Magnus.

"Good morning Alexander. What's all this then?" Magnus asked happily watching as Alec sat the tray on the bedside before sitting down next to Magnus.

"This... is the beginning of our Date Day" Alec smiled, lifting the tray onto Magnus's lap. "Here we have chocolate chip pancakes, syrup, fruit salad, coffee and orange juice"

"Oh Alexander... this is amazing. Thank you" Magnus beamed feeling a little overwhelmed by everything including the fact that Alec had put a single rose in a small thin vase on the tray. "What's a date day anyway?"

"Well, I wanted to make this the best first date ever and I know it's your first date with a man so I wanted to make it perfect and memorable" Alec smiled, Magnus seeing a hint of shyness to it and it made him melt inside.

"This is already the best first date with you and with a man because it is with you. You are incredible. Thank you" Magnus replied, putting a hand on Alec's cheek and leaning in. Kissing him softly before looking down at the food. "These look delicious"

"It's about the only thing I can make" Alec chuckled. "But I'm still not as bad as Iz"

"What do you mean?" Magnus asked as he poured the syrup over the pancakes.

"Put it this way, if Izzy makes you anything or offers you food she's made. Do not under any circumstance eat it! She can't cook, literally, the worse ever and she will kill you with her food" Alec said completely seriously.

"Oh come on she can't be that bad..." Magnus snorted.

"She put Jace in the hospital once... she was making a chicken salad and didn't cook the chicken properly. Jace couldn't tell because she coated it in so much seasoning..." Alec said.

"wow... really?" Magnus said looking at the pancakes a little hesitantly. "You sure... you know... that it doesn't run in the family?"

Alec chuckled as he took the fork from Magnus and ate some himself first, swallowing it and smiling before offering another forkful to Magnus.

"Come on... it's fine, I promise. I'm not a bad cook like that, I just struggle with flavours but I'm not a lethal cook like Izzy" Alec laughed watched Magnus eat the food and swallow smiling brightly.

"They're incredible. You can definitely make food for me more" Magnus chuckled, taking the fork from Alec and digging in.

Then two men chatted and laughed, Magnus feeding Alec bits of food in between him eating. Feeling more relaxed then he had with anyone in his life at that moment. They spoke about the band and new songs that Simon was working on. Jace was helping him every now and then with some lyrics but Alec was never good at that side of the music.

Magnus was just finishing off the last of his food when Alec got up off the bed and went to his closet. Magnus watching him with confusion as he watched the other going through his clothes and taking out various outfits.

"What are you doing?" Magnus asked confused as he set the tray aside.

"Picking what you are wearing for the day and no arguments. This is about us being us today" Alec smiled passing Magnus a pair of very dark green leather pants and a darkish red button-up shirt. Also his black heeled boots and a leather jacket. "There... you will look hot in this"
