It took a while, and a number of stern glares from Isabelle, before the boys were calm enough to converse. She pestered them on what they were laughing about but neither of them had the guts-or was stupid enough-to tell her.

Instead they ordered some pancakes and were soon tucking into warm, delicious platefuls of the stuff with intense gusto. Alec was content with just butter as a topping and found it hard to understand why Jace felt the need to completely smother his with golden syrup until it appeared that they were drowning under the stuff.

The Shadowhunters ate happily for a while before Isabelle broke the silence.

“So how are you feeling Alec, after last night?”

Alec’s fork froze on the way to his mouth. Last night? How could she know about the dream, he hadn’t said anything? Not even to Jace. But seeing Alec’s expression and taking alarm to mean confusion she elaborated. “There was quite a lot of blood on your shirt and you may have hit your head when you fainted. Magnus said he healed you but I don’t know if his magic works on headaches.”

Alec breathed a sigh of relief. She meant when he had fainted, not the horrific nightmare that he was doing an extremely bad job of keeping off his mind.

“Oh, yeah, I’m fine,” he assured her.

“You sure? We heard some raised voices last night too; did you and Magnus have an argument?” Alec looked at Jace who nodded his head in agreement-mouth to full of syrup and pancakes to speak.

After a brief explanation of what had happened, which left out the majority of what had actually happened-especially the kissing part- Alec assured his friends that everything was fine and that he and Magnus were definitely still together.

“Good.” Isabelle said when he had finished talking, “I really like Magnus, he’s got such good taste.”

Jace snorted derisively. “You into glitter now as well Iz?”

“Well, good taste in most things then.” Isabelle amended.

Jace opened his mouth, most likely to make a rude comment about the warlock, but Alec shot him a look to say ‘don’t-even-think-about-insulting-my-boyfriend’ and he snapped it shut again, backing down for once in his life.

They continued to eat energetically in a companionable silence when it was broken yet again. This time by a small, red-headed girl who practically bounded into the kitchen.

“I thought I smelt pancakes,” she announced cheerfully.

“Hey Clary,” Isabelle said brightly, “there’s still some left if you want some.”

“Thanks!” she replied, placing herself in the seat between Jace and Alec. But as she reached for the plate of pancakes in the centre Jace lunged forwards and grabbed it, pulling it towards him and placing his arms over it protectively.

“Mine,” he said, pulling a face at Clary.

“Hey!” she yelled. “That’s not fair! You’re so greedy you’ve probably already eaten about 10,” she protested.

“Seven actually,”

Ale covered his mouth with his hand and he chuckled quietly to himself. Clary’s cheeks had flushed red-it pleased him to know he wasn’t the only one who blushed easily-and her bright red hair was in wild tangles about her face. Annoyance made her whinier than ever but Jace’s teasing made Alec laugh.
