Cooking Lessons

[gayspider]

Who: Alec Lightwood, Magnus Bane
Where: A kitchen
When: Day 87, lunch time
Summary: Alec's never had to cook in his life and he's turned to his ex-boyfriend for help.



There are a lot of things going wrong in Alec’s life. He’s made a mental list of them and dwelt on each one. His inability to cook, and Magnus are at the top. Today he plans to over come one and try to face the other. He’s nervous as he waits at the agreed meeting place for Magnus, naturally he is ten minutes early.

His clothes are looser on him and he’s biting at a fingernail absentmindedly. Fighting a Greater demon would be easier than this.

Alec absorbs the information, he hates being ignorant about a topic that is useful to him.

"I can hunt..." He pauses and looks across. "For the both of us...if you help with the cooking." He feels awkward, it's a very domestic proposition.

[freewheeling]

"That might be wise."

He could hunt for himself, he supposes. But only if his magic stays true. Alec has years of practise on his side. "I know a few dishes easily kept for days."

[gayspider]

"As long as they are edible after a few days. Izzy said one of her attempts at cooking would last for two days." Alec shakes his head. "Even Church wouldn't be in the same room as it after one day."

[freewheeling]

"Your sister is gifted in many things, cooking is, however, not one of them."

If he had magic he'd just set the knife to chopping up the vegetables. As it is he just clears the side and starts cutting them into neat little rows.

Alec watches Magnus' hands carefully, taking it as seriously as a training.

"This isn't much different to carving up a miniature demon."

[freewheeling]

"That's vile, Alec."

Magnus wrinkles his nose, sets the neat pile aside before tossing the knife in the sink. "I'm beginning to think that killing demons is all you'll ever think about."

[gayspider]

"What else have I got to think about?" Alec points out reasonably. He can't think about sex, when he isn't having it.

"At least I'm good at killing demons."

[freewheeling]

"Please don't compare my cooking to demon slaying again."

[gayspider]

Alec shrugs, he doesn't quite understand what the problem is.

"I'll try not to mention demons around you."
