"Maybe he sent me to you as a warning. Beware! Arrogant, self-indulgent, and sexy vampire who has a very bad habit of giving the wrong impressions." Jace imagined Raphael and Alec sitting in this room, getting straight to business. No teasing, flirting, or otherwise. Raphael didn't flirt with anyone.
Jace didn't really flirt with anyone either.
Not anymore.
At least, not until Alec walked through the door.
Still twirling the pen, Jace looked up from Alec's desk where his thoughts had pulled him away, and instantly knew. He was in trouble. It wasn't a true smile. Not one without boundaries and full of pure happiness. But it was a smile. Jace didn't even notice he'd dropped the pen.
"You're doing fine." His eyes bright again, Jace leaned forward and rearranged a few papers neatly on Alec's desk. "Extroverts are either hiding more than they care to admit or they put themselves all out there, no secrets, proud of who they are. But someone who is careful or isn't as open is sort of like waiting out a bud to bloom. It's worth the wait to see the flower."
