"There are no super heroes or saviors or angels where I'm from." Sebastian realized how horribly pessimistic that sounded and quickly added. "I can't imagine anyone hating you, but I haven't met Jace nor seen you two together. Maybe you're a bad influence on him." He teased.
Introducing Alec was never going to be a problem. He didn't think he'd ever go back. No matter how much he missed his mother and his library and his wardrobe. There were other things, but he was learning to live without them or learning to be patient as it seemed the Market was a good way to get what they needed often enough.
He didn't think he could say anything about Christian Scott or Jack. He hadn't protected himself and he hadn't saved anyone. But saying so felt wrong. Disrespectful and hurtful. Alec's world sounded terrifying and difficult and painful. To be born into his world was a great burden, but not one he thought Alec would wish differently. Or maybe he would. He wondered about Alec and Magnus being here in the Library and if that would change for them one day. They were safe here. But for people who faced dangers their entire life, where demons were real and death was part of the reality of everyday life, could they remain happy here?
Sebastian smiled with a more pleasant topic of conversation to focus on. "Something like geography? Find this mark on the map that is Alec's body." Saying it outloud made him blush a bit, but he inhaled at the thought and nuzzled his nose and lips across Alec's cheek and jaw, finding his ear and neck. "I'm really happy to be here with you, Alec."
