The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions
who: The Shadowhunter group [Closed]
what: Alec gives them a tour of their new housing
when: August 6th
where: Lux
warnings: Will update as needed
When Alec finished arranging the deal with Lucifer, he knew that his family was not going to be happy with what he did. It wouldn't matter that they'd have more space than they had in Wayward Pines and that they could decorate any way they wanted. Even Lucifer's agreement that magic was allowed wouldn't make up for the fact that Alec had made a deal with a Prince of Hell to get an entire floor of a building to be their new 'castle'.
Knowing how everyone would react, Alec kept the name of their new landlord to himself while he showed everyone around their new quarters. Beautiful view, a stunning kitchen, luxurious bathrooms that should make both Izzy and Magnus happy, even the balcony that Alec had wanted for Magnus. With a little work, it could be perfect. There was probably enough room for a piano, if they wanted one.
Looking around the space that he could easily imagine as theirs, Alec looked at his family, knowing there was no easy way to make the deal sound less terrifying, he went with simplicity, the words coming out in a rush. "We can have any floor we want except the penthouse and the floor beneath it. I thought this one was the best of the ones that are available." That didn't sound too bad but he hadn't really explained the part that would have everyone furious with him. Absentmindedly, he began rubbing the heel of his hand, glancing from one member of his family to the other, wondering which one of them would explode first when he finished his explanation of their new living arangements. "There's a nightclub on the first floor. The terms of the lease are fair. We can easily afford it, but at first you're not going to be comfortable with who our landlord is. His name is Lucifer Morningstar."
Before anyone could say anything, Alec held up a hand to stop anyone from arguing with him immediately. "None of our souls are in danger. He's not going to attack us. All of you can talk about it and then I'll answer whatever questions you have." With that, Alec moved out of the main area, heading toward the kitchen, giving his family some measure of privacy while they tried to process the idea that the Devil owned their apartment building.
(ooc: Set up so the group can talk among themselves or yell at Alec privately or in groups.)

So the words died on his tongue and he pulled Alec into a tight hug. He'd promised he would fix things, make right what he'd messed up. He felt like he was failing. But every time he got too close or was too far away things became confusing and complicated.
"Everything is going to work out, parabatai." Yes. Parabatai. Brothers. Best friends.

He had been grateful that someone had been there for his parabatai but later the knowledge had stung. Maybe Jace hadn't wanted to ruin the fragile happiness that Alec had been building despite their parents' disapproval. Maybe he needed to talk to someone who had no expectations for him. Or maybe that was what happened with parabatai.
Knowing that he was getting too lost in his own head, Alec focused on Jace, surprised when he was hugged instead of pushed away. Closing his eyes, he rested his head against Jace's shoulder, letting those thoughts drift way temporarily. "It is. We'll find a way to be happy here."

Valentine had taken everything he knew and tore it apart, crushed his reality into shards that cut deeper than any seraph blade, and Alec was the only soothing comfort. That didn't mean he was falling-no. He loved ALec. Anything more than that would destroy everything.
"I am happy. Right here." He whispered, holding Alec tighter and pressing his lips to Alec's neck. It was brief and his heart gave an unexpected jolt at the contact, but he simply held on until Alec gave him reason to let go.

It reminded him of when they were boys, before they'd been too old to show affection for each other. That thought lulled him into forgetting all the reasons why Alec had slowly distanced himself from his parabatai...
Until he felt Jace's lips against his deflect rune, almost shivering at the intimacy. It was something no one except Magnus had done. Something that Jace should never do. Alec knew that he should pull away. He was married and the Clave forbid that kind of affection between parabatai. But Jace had been through so much and from the way he acted, rejection would send him spiraling into something that Alec didn't understand but knew was dangerous. Potentially deadly.
As long as he told Magnus what happened, there was no reason to feel guilty or worry about the boundaries that had temporarily eroded away. "I am too, Jace."
