Sometimes, Alec forgot that Magnus had known Clary, Jocelyn and Luke for such a long time. He hadn't know Magnus but for a few months and their lives were already intertwined in ways that would take months to disentangle. Jocelyn had been taking to Clary for years and years, building a relationship with Magnus that was complicated and complex, built on deceit and deception.
Alec didn't know what his relationship with Magnus was built off of. He didn't know if there was even a relationship to speak of.
"I'm not surprised that he's always been like this," Alec said, sighing and looking away for a second. It was stupid to even think of Magnus like he was. It wasn't going to happen, not with how he was. No one wanted him like he was.
Alec almost started to ask Luke more about Magnus but bit off the question at the last moment. That, he knew, would be obvious, make it evident that he was fishing for information and he didn't want to be obvious.
"I'm surprised you don't want glitter spread out all over your apartment, Luke. You seem like the type," Alec said, deadpan. The one good thing about suppressing his emotions was that he had a great poker face.
