I Want You, Not Him!

The Date...

Alec pov

I dont think I've ever been this nervous before, the palms of my hands were clammy as they shock with nerves while my breath came up short, I haven't been able to focus all day and I could tell that it was starting to annoy some of the other Shadowhunter's, but I couldn't find it in myself to care; I was too excited. I'm about to go on my first date with Magnus Bane, something that I never thought I would ever get the chance to do; especially with a man. I didnt really know what to wear on a first date; so I decided to play it safe and just wear what I usually wear, but when Izzy saw what I was wearing she was outraged and demanded that I change into something that she had chosen.

By the time I had finished changing my outfit to something that was Izzy approved; I only had fifteen minutes before I had to meet Magnus at the park where we are supposed to meet, I said a quick good-bye to both Izzy and Jace before leaving the New York Institute.

As I walked through the streets of New York I felt my thoughts slowly drift off to Jace, I couldn't help but notice how strange he's been acting whenever he's near me since I kissed Magnus at my wedding. I always hoped that he would be supportive of me when I finally decided to become who I've always wanted to be, maybe it's because of the way we were raised or maybe it's got to do with something else; Ill have to talk to him about it later.

I shake myself from my thoughts once I see Magnus, he's sitting crossed legged on a picnic blanket surrounded by a variety of different food. My cheeks flushed a bright red when I released that we were having a picnic date in the pack, no one's ever looked at me the way Magnus does or done something as amazing as taking me on a picnic date in the middle of central park.

I felt a knot forming in my throat; making it hard to breath the minute I spotted my Shadowhunter standing at the edge of the park; staring at me with a soft smile. Alexander was wearing a simple dark blue button up shirt with black skinny jeans, his black leather jacket thrown over top, and his signature black combat boots. He looked so mundane, but he was so breathtaking. The closer Alec got I couldnt help but notice the frown between his eyebrows; he must be in deep thought. When he arrived; I patted the ground beside me with a soft smile which caused Alec's cheeks to burn a bright red as he moved to sit down.

I thought a picnic date in Central Park would be a good firs date and by the twinkly shining in Alec's eyes I think I made the right decision. I thought It would be romantic, but not too far out of Alexander's comfort zone. God I dont think I've been on a date since me and Camile first got together and that was nearly two-hundred-years ago, why was I thinking about Camile when I have the definition of an angle sitting right in front of me.

"Magnus" I was startled out of my thoughts when I felt Alexander's hand resting against my cheek as he called my name out "yes" I replied; swooning slightly when I noticed the worried look on the Shadowhunter's face, it's rare to find a Shadowhunter worried about a Downworlder, I guess that's what makes Alexander so different from the rest.

As soon as I sat down I noticed how quite Magnus had been, he hasn't said a word since I sat down, and it was starting to worry me "Magnus" I called out; gently placing my hand on his cheek which seemed to have brought him back to reality "yes" Magnus replied; smiling softly at me which had my stomach swimming with butterflies "what were you thinking about, I don't think I've ever heard you this quite before" I giggled, brushing my thumb against his cheek without realising "well Lightwood, I was thinking about how beautiful you look" Magnus replied causing my cheeks to flare a bright red under his intense gaze, I tried to cover it up, but he just chuckled before leaning in to place a chaste kiss against my cheek which had them burning even bright than before.

The date was amazing, we sat there and watched the mundane's walk by as we talked about anything that came to our minds while we eat through the large amount of food that Magnus had made for us, I nearly cried when he told me that they were dishes he and his mother used to make when he was younger. It was around six-clock, the sun had just set leaving us illuminated by the streetlights in the park when we decided to continue the date at Magnus apartment.
