Cotton-like Snow

Magnus threw a snowball which hit Alec's face, accompanied with a spat, "Another point to team Glamorous!"

"Hey, That's unfair!" Simon said from beside Alec, as he dropped the snowball that he was making. "We weren't paying attention."

Jace threw another snowball which landed right in front of Simon. "Not our fault, the game's still on."

"We were on a drink break!" Clary said, ducking behind a wooden seat which was their team's 'hiding spot' when Izzy sent a snowball in her direction.

"It ended 5 seconds ago," Izzy said, "And your team's losing!"

Alec wiped his cheek and brushed off the snow, before picking up two pre-made snowballs in his hands and glaring at his best friend. "I'm going to get you for that one."

Magnus dodged the two snowballs elegantly. "Sure, darling"

This was just another snowy winter morning in the Lightwood household. School had been cancelled today because of a snow storm last night and their garden was full of snow at the moment, so they all had decided to have their annual-snow fight today.

Which is why Alec had decided to call his neighbor, who was also his childhood best friend, over. His siblings partner, Izzy's girlfriend Clary and Jace's boyfriend Simon were over anyways and he wasn't interested in fifth-wheeling, like he had been since almost 9 months now.

The tradition of annual-snow-fights had started when Magnus first moved in besides Alec's place, almost 10 years ago. They were 7 at the time and Magnus had thrown a small snowball at Alec while he was playing with his toy bow and quiver. In return, Alec had thrown another snowball at him.

They have been best friends ever since.

Earlier, it used to be Magnus and Izzy against Alec and Jace (Izzy partnered up with Magnus because her brothers wouldn't include her in anything). But ever since Clary and Simon (both transferred to their school two years ago) came into their lives, it changed to Magnus, Izzy, Jace vs. Clary, Simon and Alec. (Izzy and Jace did that at first just to impress Clary and Simon and flirt with them... in some way, but it stuck on afterwards)

Team Glamorous vs. Team Geeks, Magnus had named them.

"Robert," Magnus pointed at Robert, who was sitting on the porch watching their kids, "What does the scoreboard say?"

"5 to 4," Robert replied with a chuckle. "The Geeks are a point behind, again"

Clary threw a snowball which hit Jace's arm. "Well not anymore!" she smirked, and Alec gave her a high five.

"Hey, That's cheating!" Magnus retorted, "We were checking the scoreboard."

Alec crossed his arms above his chest. "Not our fault," he repeated what Jace said, "The game's still on."

"Alexander," Magnus dramatically clutched his heart, "You wound me."

Alec rolled his eyes, ducking to dodge the snowball that Jace threw in his direction, after saying, "Pay attention or you all will lose"

"Keep dreaming!" Izzy yelled as she tossed three snowballs one-after-another, two of which hit Simon.

"Simon." Alec gritted his teeth.

"I was making new balls, I'm sorry!" Simon replied.

"Time to pause the battle," came Maryse's voice as she stood on the porch beside Robert, with a tray in her hand. "Hot chocolate."

"Okay, hold." Magnus said, standing straight up and dropping the snow in his hands before starting to walk towards Maryse. "It's 7 to 5, We are still winning"
