Alec knew that he really wasn't as awful with fashion as Izzy said. The problem was that he preferred things that were comfortable for himself. When shopping for his family or even things that he thought Magnus would like to see him wear, he had proven that his tastes weren't as terrible as his sister claimed. But that didn't mean it'd be easy to find something right for the wedding. That was something that was meant to last a lifetime.
More than a lifetime, he realized with a pang of something he refused to think about on their date.
Making a thoughtful sound, he brushed his finger over the Lightwood ring his husband wore. "Not a ring. I can't find one that's more important than this." There was too much history and tradition caught up in it for him to find something that could have more symbolism. Shadowhunters gave their loves their family ring. Nephilim might exchange other rings, but for Alec this one was a sign of all the dreams he'd never thought he could have. Family rings were for a Shadowhunter's great love. Magnus was the only one he could imagine wearing the ring. "Should we get something that matches?" Would that be romantic or creepy? Alec wasn't sure since he loved wearing what items he could from Magnus' wardrobe.
Thanking the waiter as he set down their plates, Alec looked away to hide his smile at the waiter's reaction to the feather boa suggestion. The being hurried away and Alec made a note to leave him a good tip for having to listen in to the details of their sex life. "I didn't know you wanted me to dress up like a showgirl," he deadpanned, hoping that the comment wouldn't give Magnus ideas. "I walk around shirtless in leather pants all the time. That's normal."
