Of Roses and First Dates by DragonBread
Part #2 of the Lightwood Pies series
Chapters: One-Shot

Human AU

Alec Lightwood & Jace Wayland,
Themes: Alec POV,
Magnus POV, Relationship Milestones
Summary:
Magnus braced his hands on the counter in front of him and closed his eyes for a second, taking a deep breath. Just because he was gorgeous and sweet and the Chairman liked him did not mean that Magnus needed to get ahead of himself. Plenty of people were endearingly kind and liked by animals. It shouldn’t be making his heart beat double time in his chest.
Alec and Magnus go on their first date.
