"I meant we wear the same TYPE of things, not the same actual shirts. And it's not that our shoulders are that different, it's that your arms are short." Alec made a face. "I thought he was trying to be kind or convince himself because he knew how I felt."
"I meant Caliban won't mind you flirting," Alec said. "But most of the he's won't mind. You're you, Jace. Not many people are going to mind you flirting with them." He frowned. "We can talk about it, if you need to. I don't want ... details, but I'm telling you everything. I'm not gonna say you can't do that to me."
Alec frowned. "It's not that there's no connections. It's more ... we found each other? And I found him as I found myself, maybe. It's hard to explain. I just love him, and yeah, I need him."
Alec had thought he was being clear about needing all three of them. But from that sad note in Jace's voice, apparently not. He kissed Jace and then pulled back. "I don't regret it. We needed to be parabatai. Now we can work out how to be more, if you still want to. Unless YOU want to talk me out of how I feel?"
