Enough Said Pt. 3
Jace heard a few soft kisses being exchanged and then the light went out and he ventured a squinting glance at the couple as they headed back towards their room, arms wrapped around each other’s waists.
Jace waited until they closed the door before he high tailed it to the guest room and threw himself into bed. Now wide awake and afraid his mind was scared for life, it took him a long while to finally fall back to sleep.
Luckily, the next day being Saturday, he was able to sleep longer, not coming out till around ten. His broken night’s sleep had made him feel sluggish, however, a fact not lost on Magnus and Alec, who were both sitting at the table making gooey eyes at each other over their coffee mugs.
Magnus looked up as Jace grabbed a cup and poured himself a coffee.
“Well, aren’t we a little ray of sunshine this morning? What’s wrong, couldn’t sleep?” he asked.
Jace gave him a sour look while falling into a chair at the table with them.
“Yeah, you could say it was because of a nightmare.”
“Oh? That’s not good. It’s not like you to have nightmares. Was it over something we did last week? I didn’t think there was anything we haven’t dealt with before.” Alec said.
“No, this had nothing to do with our missions.”
“Did you have that dream where you thought all your hair was falling out again?”
Jace gave Alec a frown.
“No, it wasn’t that. It was something I over heard.”
Magnus and Alec gave each other questioning looks before looking over at him.
“Raj wasn’t trying to get a three way happening with Izzy and Lydia again was he?”
“What? No! And when has he ever tried that before?”
“Just a thought, and you can put your hackles down, Alexander, even Izzy has more self- respect than that.”
“Good thing one of the Lightwoods does at least” Jace half mumbled. Alec frowned at him.
“Now what are you going on about?”
“Bro, next time you and Magnus want to play doctor, please keep it in the bedroom and not the kitchen, I think I’ll be eating take out from now on in.”
Magnus and Alec looked at each other with a questioning expression. Then back at Jace.
“No idea what you’re talking about.” Alec informed him.
“Really? Last night? In the kitchen? Ooooh, Magnus stop its too big, get it out, sound familiar?” Jace’s voice went
high pitched for the last few words of the sentence.
Magnus gave a snort of laughter and looked over to a very red faced Alec who clearly still had no idea what his parabatai was going on about.
“Alexander, perhaps you’d like to show young Mr Wayland what I pulled out of you last night and where I pulled it from?”
Jace went white as a sheet and flew up from the table backing away quickly.
His hands were over his ears and his eyes shut tight.
“Arghhh! God, Magnus! Enough! Last night was enough to make me want to take a scrubbing brush to my brain, I don’t need to hear any more let alone see anything. I mean I love you guys, but there is a limit, ya know?”
Alec had finally worked out what Jace had been talking about, with some further silent prompting from Magnus, and he gave him a huge grin.
“Uh ah no way Alec. I know we’ve shared a lot over the years, but this is too much.” Alec gave an impatient huff of breath and frowned.
“Jace, stop being stupid and just open your eyes, please?”
Jace slowly started peeling his eyes open, wincing the whole time. When he had them fully open finally, he was surprised to see Alec standing before him. He was holding a wooden carving of the angelic rune.
“Wha……..” he frowned.
“Magnus brought me this back from Idris yesterday and last night when he gave it to me, I got a splinter in my finger from it. See?” He held out a finger and showed jace the small red mark on it. “That’s what we were doing in the kitchen last night.”
Jace gave him and Magnus a sheepish grin, feeling completely ridiculous. Magnus picked up his coffee and walked over to join them, handing Jace the mug.
“Here, I think you could do with this.” He said, giving him a smirk.
“Ha ha, sorry guys, I should of known that you would have been more discreet than that. It’s funny now I think about it. Ha ha, 6 foot long, like that’s even possible.” He laughed, talking a mouth full of coffee. Alec and Magnus were chuckling and as Alec walked off to take the cups to the kitchen Magnus leaned closer into to Jace.
“it’s more like eight and a half inches, but who’s counting, right” he whispered and walked off to the sound of Jace spitting coffee everywhere.
