"I was teasing, Adam." Sometimes he forgot that not everyone noticed when he was joking. He'd spent so much time with Izzy and Jace that he automatically assumed that the people he was close to would know his quirks. "I wanted you to kiss me." Leaning in, he brushed a kiss against Adam's jaw. "And I've been wanting to kiss you. I just wasn't sure when it was okay to kiss you."
He still wasn't. One kiss in the middle of the wedding wasn't a good guide for when it was appropriate or when Adam might be comfortable with being kissed.
"All Shadowhunters have to learn. It's part of the grand traditions of our kind." Which weren't that grand now but they were still followed. "There's even a ballroom in the Institute we could use when I teach you." For a moment, he looked awkward, feeling like he was a gangly teenager again. "I've never danced with a guy before."
