( alec takes another sip of his drink and hums. it's nice to chat about these things with jace, somehow. maybe because, in the past, talking about jace's love life had been unpleasant and uncomfortable and now they can just talk, like brothers do, like best friends do.

doesn't mean alec will accept oversharing. but he likes seeing jace happy, and when he talks about clary he gets a look in his eyes and alec gets a sense there'll be no one else for him like clary. he understands that feeling very well, and is glad to see it on someone he loves so much who's been through so much too.

also doesn't mean he's not gonna tease the hell out of him sorry not sorry. )

Wow, matching costumes. How the mighty have fallen. ( he doesn't think the jace of a few years ago would get dragged into matching silly mundane costumes with a girl, so it's telling.

less biting with humour: ) Just going with it is good. Never thought I'd say that, but... for some things, it is. ( for love, it absolutely is. )
