“....so what are the dogs' names?” Isabelle kind of screamed above the barking match the dogs were having, amused at the situation nevertheless.
Magnus was trying to shut them up with stern glares and empty threats of no food, while Alec stared fondly at them. He turned back to his sister after a few moments.
“Uh, the brown one is um, Brownie.” Isabelle started laughing at this , “ Yeah, laugh all you want, it was fitting. The white one is Coco.”
“Like Coco Chanel?” She asked.
Magnus turned back to them, carrying Coco while Brownie was circling his feet to cause more trouble. “Exactly like Coco, my dear.”
He went to sit next to them and sighed. “We should get home, though. They’re only causing trouble.”
Alec nodded while running his fingers through Brownie’s fur. He then felt the critical eye his sister was giving them and asked, “What?”
“You know,” Isabelle started, “this is exactly kind of family you guys will have. I can already picture it, Magnus is the tough parent and Alec is the soft one who gives in whatever the child ones.”
“I am not soft!” Alec exclaimed indignantly.
Magnus pecked him chastely on the lips. “You kind of are, my love. Look at you, caressing Brownie when he was the instigator of trouble.”
Alec was doing it unconsciously and it was the first time he noticed. He sighed but had a small smile at the prospect of a family with Magnus.
“I guess I am gonna be the soft parent after all.”
