Alec + Ari + chaos

“You need to divorce your husband,” Ari says the first thing as she enters her dad’s office.

Dad doesn’t even look up, this is an everyday thing in their house now. “What did my husband do now?”

“He’s being annoying,” she says blankly.

“When is he never annoying?” He asks, silently praying to god that his husband doesn’t actually hear that.

Ari thinks for a second before replying. “Good point.”

His attention is drawn back to the files in his hands which is quite frankly insulting so, she stares at her dad.

A small chuckle escapes his lips. “Give me a second.”

Dad skims through the papers before he signs them. He closes the file and finally turns his eyes completely towards her.

“Thank you.”

“Alright. Tell me what’s going on?“

“He’s being mean again.”

“There isn’t a single mean bone in your Bapak’s body. Try again.”

Ari sighs. She doesn’t know how to explain what she feels but she guesses if anyone can understand, it’s dad.

“Bapak refused to sign the papers for my trek.”

“What papers?”

She avoids dad’s gaze, murmuring quietly, “The one that says that the school isn’t responsible if something happens to us during the trek.”

This time, she can feels the daggers.

“And you wonder why Bapak refuses to sign the papers.”

“It’s protocol, dad. It’s just stupid paperwork.”

“Paperwork that states that if something happens to you on the trek, the school is not responsible?”

“Yeah,” she deadpans.

Dad narrows his eyes at her. “And you wonder why Bapak won’t sign it? That sounds like negligence.” His phone rings and Ari knows who it is.

Snitch.

“Is he calling to snitch on me?” Ari huffs.

“You came to my office to snitch on him,” dad replies before he picks up the call. “Hey, baby. Yes, she’s here,” Alec glares at her before he mumbles, away from the phone. “Did you not tell him you were coming here?”

“I’m an adult.”

“You are fourteen,” Alec mouths.

“Arianna Lightwood-Bane,” Bapak’s voice roads through the phone. “If you’re not back home in another thirty minutes, you’re grounded for the next month.”

“You won’t be able to ground me if I convince dad to divorce you,” she snaps back.

Dad groans and puts his head in his hands as both Bapak and her back and forth keeps on going.

“Baby, baby,” dad says softly, the way his voice always change when he’s talking to Bapak. It’s sweet really. But right now, this sweetness might work against her. It’s always a gamble if dad’s going to be on her or Bapak’s side.

Ari needs this trip.

She needs to feel the adrenaline she only gets when she’s doing something like this.

It’s the only thing she lets herself feel sometimes.

But Bapak doesn’t get it.

Dad does. Or atleast he tries to. Or he pretends to. Either way.

“I’ll be home soon. Bye. I love you.”

Dad disconnects the call before he steps aside from his desk and stands next to her. Dad is tall, so tall. She feels like a baby next to him.

“Ari, we’re going home and we will talk about this with Bapak.”

“But, dad—“

“Ari,” His voice is stern but not strict. It’s his no-bullshit voice.

“Okay,” she sighs.

Dad smiles before pulling her against him and kissing her head. “Stop fighting with my husband all the time.”

“You should tell your husband to stop fighting with me all the time,” she mumbles.

Dad chuckles at her. “How would you like some lemon tarts on the way?”

Ari’s eyes gleam are the words. Lemon tarts are a weakness, among her other weaknesses.

Then she narrows her eyes because there’s only one other person who loves it as much as her. “Is this a bribe for me or Bapak?”

“I need to calm Magnus down and nothing works like lemon tarts on him.”

“So it’s for him?”

“Yep,” Dad says with a grin.

“Simp.”

About Matthew outing Ariadne

I’ve seen some people here saying that one of the reasons Matthew is a horrible character is because he outed Ariadne, and I believe that is nothing but false information (or that at least the way I’ve read COI and the extra content is different). Let me explain myself:

By Chain of Iron, virtually every TLH main-ish character knows Ariadne’s attracted to women —Anna, specifically. While some people believe that must have been because Matthew or Anna told them, I think they were bound to find out her sexuality by the way Ariadne herself acts:

As you can see, Ariadne’s attraction to Anna is blatantly obvious; mainly if you’re often there to see her try to get with Anna (which the TLH gang excepting Alastair, is). Because actions speak louder than words. And most importantly: Ariadne isn’t trying to hide her sexuality from Anna’s friends. If she were, she wouldn’t have turned to Matthew for support in “reconquering” Anna (as we can see in the letter game) nor mind Anna kissing her in front of Lucie.

I’m not fully sure of this, but I think most people think Matthew outed Ariadne because of a certain speech with Cordelia (while they were looking for Wayland the Smith). And while it is true that Matthew did tell her the little he knew about it (that is: nothing), he wouldn’t have opened his mouth if Cordelia hadn’t asked him to in the first place —as she’s the one to bring up the subject.

My point is, by Chain of Iron everyone knows Ariadne wants to be with Anna; something they gossip about (particularly Magnus, Thomas, Lucie, James, Cordelia and Matthew). So Matthew is not to blame for talking with Cordelia about something she already knew (since Chain of Gold) and which his friends also partake in talking about.

By the way, if anyone‘s curious, this is a screenshot of COI where characters other than Matthew talk about Arianna:

#btw I called Ariadne by Ariadne and not Kamala because it’s the name we’ve seen her use the most #and since she’ll choose her own name in chain of thorns...#I’ll switch then #Ariadne bridgestock #anna lightwood #Matthew fairchild #tlh #the last hours #arianna #chain of iron #coi #choi #Cordelia carstairs #james herondale #Lucie herondale #thomas lightwood #magnus bane #tsc #btw this post doesn’t mean that you can’t dislike matthew

Conversation

Chain of Iron page 470:

Anna (to Hypatia): "Speaking of gentleman callers. There's something I brought to show you." *shows snuffbox with MB on it* "This belongs to our mutual friend Magnus Bane. He has been looking for it for quite some time."

Ariadne: "You stole Magnus Bane's snuffbox? Anna, that could not possibly be a good idea. He'll set you on fire. Magic fire.

Anna: Of course I didn't. As it happens, my boot maker- a fine gentleman, one of the Tanner family- once had a une liasion passionnee with Magnus. Boot makers are a surprisingly tempestuous bunch. When things ended badly between them, the boot maker pinched Magnus's snuffbox knowing he was fond of it. I thought you might like to give it back to him. I'm sure he would be most grateful.

Hypatia: "And how did you know that Mr. Bane was my gentleman caller? I thought we'd been rather discreet."

Anna: "I know everything."

“If you end up drawing something magnificent, in contrast to the apple I would be drawing,” Magnus grumbles.

Alec chuckles before kissing Magnus on his cheek. “This isn’t a competition.”

“Speak for yourself,” Magnus shoots back.

He snorts, “Then we both know who is winning.”

“Excuse you, have you forgotten that I’m a designer and draw professionally.”

“You design clothes. This is different.”

“Snob,” Magnus mumbles.

He paints a beautiful picture of Makkaser, and it had Magnus’s small house situated at the end.

“I’m done.”

Magnus hides his sheet from his view and squeals, “No. I need another ten minutes.”

“Is this a talking Apple?” Alec grins.

“Fuck off.”

He throws his head back and lies comfortably. They’re both sitting on the floor, takeout next to them with a glass of wine in both their hands.

It’s heartbreakingly domestic.

There are things about people that you only learn after living with them for a long time. Alec still finds out new things about his kids every day.

He wonders how many things about each other they’d never get to know.

Magnus finishes his painting and squeals in joy, “I’m done.”

“Show.”

“First you.”

Alec huffs before turning his sheet. A beautiful smile appears on Magnus’s face.

“It’s gorgeous. And I hate you and your impeccable artistry.”

|| Alec Lightwood is happy. He has a supportive family, kids he adores more than anything in the world, and a job that allows him to support his kids' expensive lifestyles. He is happy and content.

However, Alec's kids are ready to move out when he meets Magnus again, twenty years since they broke up.

Alec and Magnus had a whirlwind romance in Paris two decades back. They fell in love instantly—and hard. But life pushed them away, and they went their separate ways.

A chance encounter brings the two back into each other's lives.

Will they fight the odds together this time and get the life their past selves promised each other?

A story about love, loss, and everything that follows. ||

anything with ari?

“You’re saying you would rather go to Bapak?” Alec feigns offence.

“I mean, come on dad. Bapak is just better at this stuff. More experienced,” Rafael tries to explain.

Alec huffs. “Between the two of us, Magnus has gotten his heart broken hundred times while I married the only man I have ever loved,” he adds.

Bapak puts a hand on his heart, “Alexander? You would throw my past in my face just to win an argument?”

Max and Ari exchange a look, “You know. Dad’s not wrong. His success rates are higher.”

Alec lets out a hand in the air in sign of victory, “See?? I told you I’m better at it.”

“You really sold me out for a little victory?” Magnus rolls his eyes.

“So what if I did?” Alec sticks out his tongue in retaliation.

“You’re a child.”

“Don’t be a sore loser,” Alec grins and kisses his husband’s cheek. He turns towards the kids then, “Okay. What love advice do you need, my little cretins.”

Ari sighs and sits on the couch, her face in her hands. Alec doesn’t like when his baby looks like this.

“What’s going on, Ari?”

“There’s this girl and she’s so so gorgeous and I’m kind of obsessed with her but she’s also really mean sometimes and I don’t know—“

Alec suddenly realises the fault in his plan and he stands up, “Wait.”

His daughter looks up at him and frowns, “What?”

“This is about a girl?”

“Yeah. You forgot me coming out a few years ago?”

“Nope. But I don’t do girls. This is your Bapak’s department. Especially if there’s an evil girl involved,” Alec grins and barely misses the pillow thrown at him.

“Alexander Gideon Lightwood, you absolute tool—“

“Why do you keep on saying that?”

“Say what?” Magnus frowns.

“That we are together or have been all this time when someone asks,” he spats angrily.

Magnus’s face changes at the words. He opens his mouth but then closes it again.

“It’s just a joke, Alec.”

It infuriates him.

“Is this what all of this is to you? A joke?”

“Alec, why are you making such an issue of this?” Magnus swallows.

Alec throws his hands up in the air. “Because this is not a fucking joke to me, Magnus.”

“It’s not to me, either,” Magnus’s voice is cold now. But Alec can sense the underlying hurt.

“Then why do you keep saying that?”

Magnus narrows his eyebrows, his lips twitching angrily. “Then what the hell do you want me to say, Alec?”

“I don’t know. Anything but this.”

“Then why don’t you try the next time someone asks,” Magnus shoots back. “You shut down the second someone asks, expecting me to take the lead.”

“Because you do take the lead every time,” he throws back.

Magnus intakes a sharp breath. “Just because I am answering the question every time with a made up fantasy doesn’t mean the words don't hurt me just as much.”

“Max, can you get some more cold water?” Rafael asks in a worried voice.

“On it,” Max replies and immediately runs to the washroom to get some more cold water.

The second he comes back, Rafael takes the bucket and dips the towel in the water. He places the towel on Ari’s head like he’s been doing for the past two hours to bring her temperature down.

“It’s not coming down, is it?” Max asks, his voice laced with concern as he touches his sister’s forehead which is still burning up.

Rafael takes out the thermometer from her mouth and checks the digits.

“103.2 degrees.”

“Fuck. I think we need to call reinforcements.”

“I’m fine,” Ari slurs from where she’s cocooned under a dozen blankets in the best, “Don’t call dad and Bapak.”

Rafael sighs, “Arianna, we need to inform them. They’ll be so mad if we don’t inform them that you’re sick.”

Ari’s been sick for two days and her temperature has only increased slowly. It doesn’t seem to lower any time soon even though they’ve tried everything.

“I’m always sick, Rafe. There’s nothing new. But Bapak and Dad have gone on a vacation after a long time. Please don’t call them,” Ari requests and Rafael exhales heavily, he’s never been good at refusing her anything.

She seems to know that and has exploited the information to her advantage her entire life.

Max jumps into the bed next to her and snuggles close to her but Ari gently shoves at him.

“Max, no. You’ll get sick too.”

“I won’t. I never get sick. I’m superior than all you weak ass bitches.”

Rafael rolls his eyes at Max—knows that Max takes his health seriously and never lets himself get sick so that their parents never have to worry about him.

He’s been doing the same his entire life too.

One child with a heart disorder is enough for dad and Bapak to deal with for a lifetime.

Max forcefully cuddles against Ari’s side and she shifts to put her head on his shoulder, sighing softly.

Her face scrunches up in pain for her a second but she easily masks it, but Rafael notices it nonetheless.

Ari has always been the best at hiding her pain. A lifetime of pain caused by her body has made her excellent at doing so.

Rafael opens the drawer and takes out the next dose of medications and passes it over to her.

“I don’t want more. They make me too drowsy.”

“You will take them or I’m calling Bapak.”

“Bapak and not dad. Rafael’s calling out the big guns,” Max comments with a grin on his face.

They wait for another two hours for her fever to come down, during which she throws up three times. Rafael hates it. Max hates it.

Ari hates it as well.

The panic in his chest rises and he exchanges a look with Max, becoming him to come outside.

Max nods and excuses himself to get out of the room, but Arianna has always been too good at noticing everything so she calls them out.

“I know you’re going to talk to me behind my back.” She complains.

“We always talk behind your back, Ari. There’s nothing new there,” Max replies.

Ari huffs. “No you don’t. I’m the favorite sibling.”

Rafael snorts at that and replies, “Max is the favorite sibling. And we all know that.”

Max snorts at that and a smug smile appears on his face, “Damn right, Rafe. Max Lightwood-Bane, the favorite child and the favorite sibling.”

“That’s pushing it too far, Max. Rafael would be the favorite child.” Ari retorts back.

Rafael shakes his head in fondness. They’ve been doing it since they were kids, trying to figure out who the favorite kid is.

According to Dad and Bapak, there is none.

But everyone else thinks otherwise.

“What am I? Chopped liver?” Ari pouts. “Was I picked up from the trash can or something? I’m being discriminated for not sharing DNA with my parents,” she comments dramatically.

Max laughs at the words, “You cannot use that card on the two of us. We’re also adopted, Ari.”

“Funny that out of the three times, they only chose to adopt once and that turned out to be the worst headache for them.”

Both Rafael and Max’s head turn immediately at the words and a frown appears on their faces.

“What?”

“What? Nothing?”

“Ari?”

“Rafe?”

“Max?”

“Why are we all taking each other’s names?” Rafael rolls his eyes.

“I don’t know.”

Ari puts up a hand in the air, “it’s weird that the two of you are named after dead people.”

Max gives her a pointed look, “She’s deflecting.”

“I’m not.”

“You are,” Rafael says sternly. “We heard you.”

Ari rolls her eyes and fuck, Rafael thinks, she’s a spitting image of dad when she does that.

Rafael suddenly misses dad and his warmth, he always misses dad when someone he loves says something dark and self deprecating—and he doesn’t know how to help them.

He almost wants to call him but Ari is right, they’ve gone on a vacation after a long time.

They deserve the break.

And he’s fucking 19 years old, he should be able to handle a sick sibling.

“Don’t give me that look, Rafael. You don’t scare me.”

Rafael sighs and gathers himself for an argument but Max intervenes.

“Arianna Lightwood-Bane, I dare you to repeat what you just said,” Max threatens and Ari rolls her eyes at that.

That girl is so fucking stubborn, Rafael doesn’t know how Bapak and Dad deal with her when she’s fighting with them to go on her adventure sports trips.

Max continues staring at her sternly and Ari finally sighs which means she’s ready to talk.

Rafael wonders how Max is the one who can always get Ari to talk. Not dad, not Bapak.

It’s always Max.

“I’m just feeling a little dark today. Ignore me.”

Rafael opens his mouth but Ari interrupts, “Please. We can talk tomorrow. I just want Rafe cuddles right now.”

He knows she’s trying to manipulate him but he melts anyways and agrees.

“You are so weak, Rafe,” Max huffs.

“Shut up, Blue.“

Rafael and Max cuddle next to her and turns on the TV.

They’re currently laying in their parent’s bedroom so the bed has enough space for all of them to lie comfortably.

He misses his classes for the next three days and Max skips his music sessions to care for Ari.

Her temperature comes down a little by the time Dad and Bapak return from their trip to the Big Bear Lake.

“What’s going on?” That’s the first words that leaves Dad’s mouth when he returns.

Considering the condition of their room, filled with tissue papers and buckets filled of vomit everywhere, it’s entirely valid on his part.

Max jumps from where he’s sitting next to the bed, playing a soft melody on his guitar and rushes towards Bapak, who takes him tightly in his arms.

“Hi, Bapak.”

“Hi, Blue.”

Rafael exchanges with look a dad and it’s like he knows somehow. He rests his head against his chest for a second and Dad touches his forehead, a frown on his face.

Ari is fast asleep and doesn’t wake up by the commotion. Dad and Bapak moves towards the bed and kisses her forehead.

“She has a fever?” Bapak says with worry.

Max and Rafael avoids their gaze but Max finally sighs, already knowing that it will take all of five second for Bapak to get the information out of them.

“She had 103 degrees fever for four days but it’s down now.”

Dad’s face scrunches.

“And you didn’t think of informing us.”

“We didn’t want you to worry.”

“You don’t have to worry about Ari. She’s fine now. We did everything as you would’ve done,” Rafael points at the water and medicines.

Dad’s face change softly and he comes closer to Rafael, putting a hand on his forehead.

“Do you even realise that you have a fever too?”

“What?” Rafael frowns. “I don’t.”

Max puts a hand on his face and then his eyes widen, “Rafe, why didn’t you tell me you were sick too?”

“I am not.”

Bapak crosses the distance and stands infront of you. “You two are insufferable. Just like your dad.”

“What?” Dad whines. “How is this my fault?”

“It is.” Bapak takes out his tongue like a child and dad rolls his eyes in affection.

“We’re not just worried about her. But the two of you, too.” Dad points out with fond exasperation.

Rafael sighs and nods.

“Okay. Sorry, we didn’t tell you,” Max tells them.

“Come on, I’ll crush the medicine in water for you.” Bapak points with a mischievous grin.

Rafael pouts at that, “I don’t do that anymore. I can take medicines normally. Like an adult.”

“No, you can’t.” All of them points out at the same time.

Traitors.

So what if he can’t swallow medicines and needs them to be crushed and mixed with water.

He’s an adult, okay?

“Anyways. How was your trip? Did y’all bang?” Max asks mischievously.

Dad groans at that because he knows what’s going to follow.

Bapak puts a hand on Max’s shoulder and speaks, “Oh, so so much. There was this one night where Alexander wore this—“

“Oh my fucking god. Keep your gay to yourself,” Ari suddenly wakes up from her sleep and comments. “Have you not heard that talking about this stuff can turn innocent kids gay?”

Dad chuckles at the words. “Apparently that worked considering you’re into girls.”

“Girls with tattoos only. I have a type, daddy” Ari replies.

“How could we ever forget the gay panic you go through every time you see a girl with tattoos?” Rafael comments.

“Also, what’s this I’m hearing of you getting sick?” Bapak says in a serious tone this time.

Ari immediately hides herself under the blankets. “This is a hostile environment, your honor. Over and out.”

-I am finishing my masters thesis and writing one-shots during the breaks is the only thing keeping me sane. Also, can y'all believe I wrote something non-angsty for once?? You’re welcome.

“You don’t have to stay here for me,” He tells Max.

Max hums, “I know. I want to.”

“You must be really worried about me if you’re willing to wash dishes just to tell me all this,” Alec says, bringing levity to the situation.

But today seems to be one of those days that’s not going to end without a heavy load on his heart, the kind that ends in tears because Max doesn’t smile even then. He doesn’t make some crass joke or tries diffuse the situation.

He gives Alec a small, frankly pathetically sad smile as he says, “I’m worried about you, dad.”

Alec moves closer to Max and squishes his ears, the way he’s been doing since Max was a baby. “Ari is not going away to another planet, you know?”

Max sniffles and collides against his chest.

“What’s going on?”

Alec groans. “Fucking great.”

“What?” “Nothing,” Alec says sweetly, “Max is being a dramatic little shit. Please make him stop.”

“Max,” Ari says seriously. “Are you hogging my dad time?”

Max blows the soapy water at Ari. “There’s no such thing as ‘dad’ time, you little princess.”

“There is,” Both Alec and Ari points out at the same time, high-fiving without looking at each other.

snippet with ari for writing chaos plz <3

“Why do gay people have to come out but straight people never do?” Ari asks casually one day when they are having dinner.

“Because the world is full of shitty people,” Rafe comments.

Valid.

“Helps with character development,” Max points out, swallowing the mouthful of pasta without chewing.

Gross.

Brothers are fucking gross.

“And straight people don't need character development?” Magnus chuckles.

Max replies immediately, “i mean they are straight. Nothing can redeem that.”

“This feels like a personal attack,” Rafe rolls his eyes at Max. “Being straight is not a crime you know.”

Arianna rolls her eyes at them before turning to her parents.

“Dad, how did you come out?”

Dad’s hand stops mid-way as he pauses.

“Dad smooched the fuck out of Bapak in the accords hall,” Rafe smirks at Dad, who exchanges a look with Bapak full of love.

How could she forget? She has heard this story a billion times.

The story of the kiss.

“That must have been so badass,” Ari says excitedly.

Something flashes across Dad’s face and it wasn't the same happiness she sees when anyone mentions the kiss.

“It wasn’t.”

Max and Rafe exchange a look before matching grins appear on their faces.

“Bapak, are you hearing this?” Rafe says dramatically.

Max puts a hand to his chest in mock hurt before adding fuel to the fire, “The disrespect. Bapak, if I was you, I would not have taken it.”

“These are grounds for divorce,” Rafael adds, grinning ear to ear as he fist-punches Max.

Ari chuckles at their idiocy but she doesn’t miss the look on Dad’s face or how Bapak fastens their hands together.

“It was the greatest kiss of my life,” Dad adds, smiling at Bapak.

“He is trying to cover it up now,” Max interrupts but Rafael punches him in the shoulder this time and Max raises his hands up in surrender.

“Like I said, it was the greatest kiss of my life but it was also the scariest moment of my life.”

“Because you made a declaration of your love?” Rafe asks.

Dad shakes his head. He hesitates before replying, “Because I kissed a man in a room full of homophobic assholes.”

“Oh.”

She feels a pit in her stomach for her dad, for how scared he must have felt.

Bapak shifts his chair closer to Dad and kisses his temple gently.

“We know that kiss made a statement, but no one should be forced to make statements like that. It shouldbe easier,” Bapak says in a gentle voice.

“See!” Arianna points out. “That's what I'm talking about. Like why should I have to go through the ordeal of having to sit through a coming-out conversation? ‘Hi, Dad. Hi Bapak. Just wanted to let you know that I’m into girls. I am still the same person I was and I hope you can accept it’. Fuck that shit,” Ari rambles. “I’m not doing that.”

Four pair of eyes turned on her and widened.

“What?”

“OH MY GOD!!”

“You’re into girls.”

Ari rolls her eyes at all of them, “Yes. I am a lesbian.”

“Magnus, did you hear that?” Alec says excitedly.

Ari pushes the chair back and stands up, “I just told you guys that I dont want this to be a big deal. I dont like the concept of coming out. So this is my formal request to not considering this a coming out.”

“We don’t care that you’re gay, Ari,” Max points out. “We care that you told us today.”

She knows that Max knows. Max knows everything about her. He always knows.

But she doesn’t understand everyone else’s reaction so she frowns “What does that mean?”

“It means that I won,” Dad pushes his hands in the air.

“What?”

Bapak, Rafe and Max all took out 100 dollars from their pockets and passed it to Dad.”

Ari’s eyes widen, “You bet on me?”

“Sure did, my baby.”

“You all are horrible, people.”

They all shrug in unison.

Assholes.

But her heart filled with warmth and love.

“How did you know?” Ari asks.

Rafael chuckles at the words, “Ari, you could not have a bigger crush on the babysitter if you tried.”

She rolled her eyes, “I could be staring at her to teach her a few things about fashion.”

“What about Marisa? The new transfer from L.A. Institute?” Max chuckles.

“She doesnt know how to throw an arrow.”

“You dont know that either. You are thirteen,” Dad comments with a grin on his face.

“And you have been obsessed with Aunt Izzy since you were a baby,” Bapak adds.

“That has nothing to do with me being a lesbian, thats ‘aunt izzy’ effect.”

Everyone nods at that.

“We been knew sis. We were waiting fo ryou to catch up,” Mac ruffles her hair.

“Fuck off, Max.”

“Language,” Dad says but his words barely had any heat.

“Can we move on and stop making fun at my expense?”

Ari knows they won’t stop because they are assholes like that.

Dad pauses for a minute before replying thoughtfully, “I think we should be allowed five more minutes of this.”

“Will I get my cut from your earnings?”

“10%?”

“50.”

“25 and that’s final.”

Ari grins, “Deal.”

“Also, who says straight people never come out?” Dad says after a minute.

Rafael’s eyes widens and he started yelling, “No. No. No. You promised.”

Max and Ari frown at whatever’s happening as Rafael hangs his head in shame.

“Bapak, we had a deal.”

Alec stands behind Rafael and ruffles his hair, “Why, rafe? What happened to ‘grounds for divorce?”

Bapak snorts at the words as Rafael whine, “Bapak, please. Help.”

“You poked the wrong bear, Rafael.”

Ari frowns and exchanged a look with Max who also seems equally out of the loop.

“What's going on?”

Dad puts both his hands on Rafe’s shoulder, who has his face in his hands and speaks, “Rafael came out when he was twelve.”

Both their eyes widen.

“What?”

“He came out as straight. He told us that he is not like us and apologised for that,” Dad laughs loudly.

Max starts jumping on the chair, laughing like this is the best thing he's heard in his entire life. Ari cannot help but laugh at Rafe himself, even though it’s cute and only Rafe would do something like this.

"Rafe, you are the biggest dork," Ari laughs.

“I was the victim of a horrible prank,” Rafael pouts and hides his face in Magnus’s shoulder. He looks up at Dad and glares. “I hate you.”

Dad bends to place a kiss on his head, “I love you too.”

It's only a few hours later when she is ready for bed, that Bapak and Dad knocks on her door.

“Hey.”

They don’t say anything, just cross the distance and hug her. She’s still waiting for her growth spurt and Dad and Bapak are fucking giants so she all but hides between the two of them.

No words are needed right now.

They know she knows.
