"That's the truth," Alec huffed, looking around and then down at the scan gun in his hands. This sort of thing would never happen back home. He would never go shopping with Isabelle instead sending Jace or maybe even Clary with her. His time to bond with his sister came during training sessions and missions.
Now, here they were, trying to shop for his wedding while she'd just celebrated an anniversary. He wanted to think that his parents would be proud of them for adapting and adjusting but he knew that wasn't the truth. He'd be chastised for being gay and marrying a Downworlder and she'd be chastised for not being a duplicate of their mother, for being too caught up in a relationship instead of her duty.
"I didn't think so back then either," he noted with a shake of his head. "About me, not you. I knew I wouldn't. But, I also thought the person I wanted was Jace."
He made a face at that, shaking his head at himself. "You won't hear me admit this again but I really didn't know what I was doing a lot back then."
