"I suppose..." Sebastian couldn't decide if it was easier or harder to not look away. He had thought the first time he'd met Alec that he had beautiful eyes. The same for Magnus. Although he hadn't seen Magnus's eyes up close.

It wasn't simply the color he was drawn to. It was often said the eyes were the windows to a persons soul. But it was more than that. Different and yet the same. He didn't have words to explain it, but he'd know the first time he'd looked into Christian Scott's eyes there was something wrong. And John Davies, Christian's best friend, was someone to fear.

His father was more difficult to read. Until their recent talk he hadn't looked into Sebastian's eyes. Not for a long time.

Alec was different. He knew some things about his new friend, but it wasn't what he knew or didn't know. It was the feeling that Alec wasn't just being nice to a random stranger. He felt sincere and honest. He looked into Alec's eyes and he wasn't afraid. Nervous. But not afraid.

He was more afraid of his own emotions and uncertainty than he was of Alec or even Magnus.

"I suppose it's only fair. You do talk to me about Magnus."

But then he couldn't keep his eyes from wandering lower, briefly before he looked away and back to Alec's face again. "Did you....have trouble waking up from your dream?"
