Homosexuality. The attraction to someone of the same gender. Something that I wish I wasn't. Why can't I be normal? Why can't I be like everyone else? Magnus isn't gay. Jace isn't gay. Simon isn't gay. Clary isn't gay. Izzy isn't gay. What's wrong with me. Its like a curse. Why me? And of course I just have to be in love with my best friend. Magnus. He's the only one that knows other than Izzy. She figured it out on her own. She also knows how I feel about Magnus. He's straight. I mean as far as I know. Even if he wasn't its not like he feels the same. There's just something about him that is just... perfect. Magical. I wish I didn't feel this way. It would make my life so much easier.
Magnus POV

Bisexuality. The attraction to both genders. Its what I am. I'm fine with it. Nobody knows. The last person that I want to know is Alec. He would probably figure out that Im falling in love with him. He would be disgusted because I love him. He definitely doesn't feel the same. We're best friends. If that's all we are ever going to be then I'm ok with that. I'm not going to risk out friendship. We tell eachothers everything. He told me he was gay. But I haven't told him that I'm bi our that I'm a warlock. I mean how are you supposed to tell someone that you have half demon blood and magical powers. He would hate me if I told him. So many times I've thought about dating him. Kissing him. Holding his hand. Things that I will never be able to do because he doesn't want to do that.
Alec POV

The school dance is coming up soon. I don't have a date so I most likely won't go. As usual ill probably spend the weekend at home alone. You know  what? I'm fucking sick of this. Beating myself up because of something about myself that I can't change. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to do it... tomorrow.
The next day at school
There he is. At his locker. #741. I don't have three guys to say it so I wrote a note. It says,
Magnus,
I have to tell you something. After I tell you this your going to think I'm disgusting and a horrible person. Here I go. I love you. Not a friend love. Is so much more than that. Im sorry. I just had to tell you. I can't bottle these feelings up anymore <3
~ Alec
Once he left I folded it up and put it I'm the slots in the top. I hope he sees it before anyone else does.
Finally its the end of the school day. Isn't always nice tip be home street s long day of being a sophomore in high school. I wonder if he saw my note. All put a sudden I hear a knock at the door. Who could it be? Nobody usually comes over this time of day. First I look out the window to see who is there. Magnus!? He has a piece of paper in his hand.  Oh god. Its the note. He looks very nervous. I guess I should open the door. As I make my way over I stay to prepare myself to have my best friend and my crush hate me forever. I have my hand on the door knob. Im getting really nervous. I open the. For a second we just stand there.
"Well um... I got your note."
"I'm sorry. You must think I'm a disgusting person. If you hate me forever  I understand." I said with a sad time.
"Why would I hate you when I... wait. Its anyone else here?" He asked
"No its just us." I realized that he was still standing outside so we both went in.
"Alexander I don't think I could hate you... when I love you."
I was shocked.
"So.. Your"
"Bisexual. I'm bisexual."
"So now what?" We both said in unison.
I was even more shocked when I found my lips against his. He kissed me. For a second I stood there and then started to kiss back.
"You have no idea how long I wanted to do that." I said.
2 months later

Magnus and I have been dating for 2 months now. It's been the best time of my life. My parent, my friends, everyone look has been so accepting of my. I don't know what I was so worried about. I always thought I would never be able to have what I wanted, never be able to fall in love because of my sexuality. I always thought my parents would hate me.
Magnus POV

I need to tell him. I can't keep this secret anymore. I need to tell him about my magic. But what is he going to say? Will he believe me? Will he leave me? If I don't tell him then he will. I texted him and said to meet me in the alleyway near the coffee shop.
"Why?" He replied.
"I need to show you something. It might freak you out and you might want to leave me."
"I would never leave you. Nothing would ever make me want to leave you. Even if you had magical powers or something😂 I love you❤️"
"I love you too❤️"
When I got to the alley, a few minutes later Alec showed up.
"What did you want to tell me?"
I'm just going to come out and tell him.
"Alec I'm um... I'm kind if a warlock."
"What do you mean?"
"Let me show you." I snapped my fingers and blue sparks flew everywhere. Alec stood there in awe.
"Why would you think that I would leave you because of this. So what your a downworlder I don't care."
"Wait. How do you know what a downworlder is?"
Alec eyes widened. He's hiding something.
"I mean what I have no idea what is a downworlder I know nothing of the shadow world😅"
"Alexander what are you?"
"Ugh fine! I'm a shadowhunter. Now you know."

"I don't see any runes"
"Izzy helps me cover them"
We went back to Alecs house. He took a wet towel and scrubbed at his neck. His deflect rune was revealed.

Two years later they adopted a boy named Max. As a family they went on amazing adventures and they couldn't be happier.
