Where did we go wrong?

Part 7

Jace was bored as he didn't have much going on that afternoon. Max was at their grandparents house, Izzy was having a sleepover at one her friends place and mom and dad were busy with their work and worst of all, his favorite person to bother in this whole wide world was not in his room. Jace always found Alecs annoyed face funny, and Jace found it hilarious whenever Alec threw stuff at him to kick him out of Alecs room.

"I AM BORED!" Jace groaned so loudly so at least his mom and dad would shout at him, but it seemed like they were too busy to deal with this teenager.

"Hm.." Jace scrunched his nose as he was trying to come up with a plan to keep himself busy.

"Let's have some snacks so I can nourish my brain. Then I will come up with an awesome plan, aaaand why is that? Because I am awesome. Oh yeah..." Jace sang to himself as he got up from his bed.

Once he got himself some popcorn and a can of soda, he decided to watch one of the movies Simon recommended. He normally acts like he does not pay attention to what Simon says because by the angel, Simon just never shut up. Still, everyone knows Simon is the best when it comes to movie recommendations. He turned on the TV and sat down with snacks. Once he pressed play, he opened his popcorn bag and took a handful of popcorn, and he thought it would be hilarious to put that handful of popcorn in his mouth.

He was about to put his second handful of popcorn in his mouth when he heard the front door. He quickly turned around to see who it was.

"Where did you go? Oh, hi Magnus, " Jace greeted as soon as he saw his big brother and Magnus enter the lightwood house.

"Went for a walk," Alec replied without paying much attention to what Jace was doing. Jace stared at the couple, who just came home for a few seconds and smirked.

Something definitely happened. Jace came to a conclusion after observing Alecs and Magnuss blushed cheeks. Jace been Jace, he thought his big brother and Magnus probably had a heavy make-out session.

"Really?" Jace, give Magnus and Alec a smirk.

"WHAT?" Both Magnus and Alec asked from the blondie.

"Nothing." Jace turned to the TV and hummed as he pressed play.

"What is wrong with him?" Magnus looked at Alec.

"I have no idea. Just ignore him. You know how he can be? " Alec may love his younger brother, but most of the time, Jace is nothing but a pain in the ass.

"Stay for tea?" Alec looked at Magnus.

"Definitely. But I need cookies, have you got any? Mama made some white chocolate chunk cookies, but since that is your favourite, she is not letting me eat any till you come over. Magnus groaned dramatically.

I think that old lady forgets sometimes that I am her son. " Magnus rolled his eyes. Alec could not help but laugh as he knows how Mama and Magnus can be when they get into arguments.

"I think we have some chocolate chip cookies." Alec said as he turned the kettle on.

"In the cupboard?" Magnus asked, but before Alec could reply, Magnus was already going through snack cupboard. To him, Lightwood house is his second home, and Magnus never shied away from looking for food in Lightwoods kitchen. As Maryse and Sera know about this, they always keep snacks that kids prefer in both houses and kids have full freedom to have as much as they like, as long as they dont replace main mealtimes with snacks. As Alec was making himself a tea, Magnus managed to find the cookies and went to see what Jace was watching. As those two got into a heated argument over the movie (when Magnus and Jace are in the same rooms, they always end up arguing over something, so Alec was not surprised), Alec decided to go to his room wait for Magnus to return with cookies and milk. Magnus was definitely going to bring milk for himself. Alec knew that Magnus was going to bring milk because, according to Magnus, cookies and milk are a pair made in heaven, and they shouldn't ruin that for anything. Alec sometimes wondered who Magnus took after because of silly things he came up with, but soon he realized Magnus took after his father. Because Asmodeus himself is famous for saying the silliest things and Asmodeus is known in the neighbourhood for his extremely embarrassing dad jokes.

"Aaaaand darling, I'm back," Magnus returned with a tray full of food and two milk glasses. Alec gave Magnus a confused look.

"What? After all that crying, I can finish this tray. " Alec rolled his eyes. Magnus got into Alec's bed and brought the tray near their lap. Alec started his projector so they could watch something.

"Alec," Alec and Magnus heard Maryse's voice.

"YES, MOM?"

"Baby, is Magnus with you?" Maryse was still outside of Alec's room. Magnus smirked.

"Yes, Mom, I'm here," Magnus replied. Maryse opened the door.

"Oh baby. How are you? I panicked when I saw your cookies were gone. " Magnus could not help but smile as he heard Maryse.

Sorry mom, I did not come and say hi. Jace told me you are so busy because of work. Magnus used his puppy eyes. He knew Maryse could not resist his puppy eyes. Lightwoods were so weak to Magnus's puppy eyes.

"Oh, it's okay, baby. Did you tell your mama that you are coming here? Sera called me earlier.

"I told Papa, though."

"Okay. Maybe he forgot to mention. I'll call her. You are staying for dinner, right? I'm going to cook your favourite.

"YES," Magnus cheered. Maryse melted a bit, seeing how excited Magnus looked.

Are you going to watch a movie? Not to be that mom, but Jace was complaining about being bored earlier.

He is already watching a movie mom, and if we try to watch a movie with Jace, I dont think I will be able to actually watch the movie. Alec didn't have to use words to remind his mom how Magnus and Jace always quarrel about the silliest thing.

HEY! I saw that look. Magnus complained as he saw the grin Maryse and Alec shared.

"Enjoy you two. But keep some space in your stomach for dinner. " Maryse smiled and left Alec's room.

Can you stay at home forever. Mom is so good to me when you are here.

"Is that a proposal, darling?" Magnus asked in a flirty voice. Alec shook his head while rolling his eyes.
