[Closed] Breakfast 101
who: Jace Wayland, Magnus Bane
what: Jace attempts to embrace the Mundane life and cooks breakfast.
when: July 20th 5 a.m.
where: Magnus and Jace's apartment. The kitchen.
warnings: Will update as needed.
Jace can cook. He learned very young to survive a Shadowhunter needed more than a seraph blade. He needed to know how not to burn himself making eggs. Toast was easy enough to learn. But beyond the basics cooking wasn't really his thing. Killing demons. Fighting. Being a weapon. Those were the things he knew best.
He also knew anything less than perfection was not acceptable. Cooking was no different than fighting or playing the piano. The only difference was he felt an odd sense of satisfaction reading several cookbooks and moving beyond scrambled eggs to an omelette.
He'd gone shopping the day before and had everything spread out over the counters. Books, eggs, vegetables, cheese-freshly shredded, etc. No mess, everything organized and kept clean, the way he kept his room. He was still wearing his pajama pants and at-shirt, barefoot, while cutting mushrooms. Sleep was not something he did often. The one night he'd spent with Alec had been the most sleep he'd had in days, but he couldn't simply climb into bed with Magnus's husband every time he had a bad dream or couldn't fall asleep for more than a few hours.
So here he was. Cooking. Alec had seemed strangely fond of the Mundane life he and Magnus had been living in Idaho and he'd caused his parabatai enough problems and worry. It was time to embrace his new life. Cooking seemed like the logical first step. Max and Izzy, Alec and Magnus, they all simply wanted a home and family. Jace wasn't sure what he wanted, but he needed to do something.
