You lay on your stomach on the bed, flipping pages and furiously reading the words on the page. Ever since Nate had referenced Lady Midnight, you'd been wanting to check it out. Now you couldn't put it down. 

Ty was interesting to you. His habits fascinate you. You often found yourself wondering what it was like to be in his position. You thought Mark was funny, but you thought he was also a bit lost in his circumstances. 

You were just in the part where Julian slept with Emma on the beach. Oh God, your head was exploding. Nate came padding into the bedroom, flopping next to you and starting to rub your shoulders, his thumbs making circular motions. "Hey beautiful," he grinned. You viciously shushed him and continued to read. 

Nate let out a chuckle and smiled his unique smile. "Okay, okay, don't kill me," he put his hands up in mock surrender and lay next to you, checking on his social media.

When you finished the chapter, you plopped the book down and let out a sigh. "Nate, why can't parabatai be in love?"

Nate looked up from the tweet he was typing. "What Y/N?"

You sat up to look at him. "You heard me, Nate. What's so wrong with Emma and Julian being in love?"

He clicked his tounge against his teeth and avoided your eyes. Typical stalling technique for Nate. "Well..." he took a deep breath. "Sometimes, emotions get in the way, and you can't see clearly. Shadowhunters can't be proper parabatai if they are constantly confronted by romantic feelings. It corrupts them."

Emotions get in the way. Is that what he was thinking when he left you to chase his dream? "Okay, i get that. But to make it illegal? That's a little harsh."

"They're  only trying to make sure nobody dies. They're a slim race. As they say, 'sed lex, dura lex.'"

You  closed your eyes and began to daydream. Julian was an amazing character, so beautifully portrayed in writing. His physical description reminded you of Levi. Or maybe Bradley? No. Definitely Levi.

Your mind wandered back to Emma and Julian having sex...what would it feel like to sleep with Levi? To hear him say your name like that when he wasn't supposed to?

The sudden involuntary thought startled you enough to make you sit up. There is no way you're supposed to think these things about your boyfriend's best friend. 

"Baby, are you okay?" Nate asked, noticing your discomfort. 

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's  just...does this relationship feel right to you?"

"What? Of course it does. Is this because of Emma's side action with Mark? Because it's just a book. But i will say, it has you brimming with questions. I'd do anything for you, Y/N."

"Side action? I'm not that far yet!" You squeal.

"Oops," Nate laughs, cuddling into you. You sink down and let his arms protect you, but despite Nate's reassurances, his flesh cannot shield you from the thoughts of Levi's lips on the soft skin of your neck, or the scary questions that follow.
