"You know I want you, It's not a secret I try to hide."

On a beautiful night in Brooklyn New York, the stars shined extra bright as the moon spread its moonlight over the city. Every mundane was walking or driving on the streets, heading to different destinations for the night. Many seemed to be zoned in on their minds about the next day, or some common troubles they were facing. What they didn't realize was on an almost empty street was a warlock and Shadow Hunter. A forbidden relationship of their kinds. The tension surrounding them was anything, but platonic. Their eyes were dilated, palms sweaty. The shadow hunter had his hands pressed against his side, his heartbeat rising as he felt the warlock's hand holding him back. He could have taken his hand away. He didn't have to stand here. The warlocks hand wasn't even holding his hand tightly enough. He could break free, but the shadow hunter couldn't. Something was stopping him.

"Magnus...I-"

"I know you want me, so don't keep saying our hands are tied..." Magnus sang, pulling Alec closer to him. Alec gasped quietly, his free hand instinctively coming to rest on Magnus' shoulder.

"You claim it's not in the cards, but fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me, but you're here in my heart, so who can stop me if I decide that you're my destiny..." Magnus caressed Alec's cheek. The two felt a shock of energy strike between them at the touch. It felt...magical.

"What if we rewrite the stars...?" The light from the light post started to blink as balls of light came flowing out of them, surrounding Magnus and Alec. "Say you were made to be mine... Nothing could keep us apart, you'd be the one I was meant to find. It's up to you and it's up to me. No one can say what we get meant to be, so we don't we rewrite the stars. Maybe the world could be ours tonight." Alec's head hanged down as he avoided Magnus' eyes. He couldn't. What Magnus was saying was impossible. They were two different odds; on two different sides. His head yelling to run away, this...whatever it was couldn't happen. But his heart...his heart was screaming at him to fall into Magnus' arms. To be taken and not look back. He felt like he was going crazy.

Alec backed away from Magnus' arms, turning around, he watched the lights flow around them.

"You think it's easy..." Alec sang softly, glancing back at Magnus, sadness swirling in the pits of his black eyes.

"You think I don't want to run to you, but there are mountains and there are doors that we can't walk through. I know you're wondering why, because we're able to be just you and me within these walls, but when we go outside you're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all." Alec brushed his hand along the black gate, protecting him from the lake. He gazed out at the water, it's silence and calmness easing the voices from his head. He walked back over to Magnus and stared into his brown eyes, his heart stopped seeing the desperate look in his eyes. His hands rested on Magnus' cheeks as he gave him a sad smile. He then started to walk away, his feet taking him further away from Magnus. It was better this way. He probably walked a block before he realized that he was nowhere near the Institute. In fact, he happened to be in an unknown clearing near the lake he was near earlier.

"No one can rewrite the stars, how can you say you'll be mine?" Alec sang quietly, his eyes glistening with tears,"Everything keeps us apart and I'm not the one you were meant to find. It's not up to you it's not up to me when everyone tells us what we can be," He angrily wiped his eyes, staring at his reflection in the water.

"How can we rewrite the stars? Say that the world can be ours tonight." Alec walked deeper into the clearing. His thoughts all over the place, but he kept chanting that one sentence, 'It's better this way.' It was bound to cure his heart. Why did it hurt this much? It made no sense that a person could make it feel as if he couldn't breathe anymore. Like a knife was constantly tugging at it, making it unbearable pain, wanting to cry out. He almost felt like he couldn't hold it in and was about to burst.

Just as his last hope, Magnus appeared behind Alec and grabbed his hand again, this time more secured. The warlock locked fingers with alec, bring the boy to him against with a turn. Alec's eyes widened at Magnus. He came for Alec. He didn't give up on them...

"Alexander...You have to trust me." Magnus whispered, resting his head on Alec's. Alexander couldn't recognize this feeling. Even when he thought he loved his brother, this emotion didn't compare to how he felt at all. It was all so pure and honest, overwhelming. His heart clenched, a soft gasp slipping his lips as lips were almost touching Magnus.

"Magnus, I.."

"I can't lose you," Magnus admitted, his ringed hand coming up to brush away some of Alec's hair. Alexander closed his eyes at the sensory overload he felt from Magnus touch. His breath hitched as he faced the warlock, his eyes shining with adoration.

"I can't lose you, too." Alec smiled.

"All I want is to fly with you! All I want is fall with you, so just give me all for you." Alec held onto Magnus' shoulders as the warlock danced with his love, the greatest smile gracing his lips. Their voices merged together in a beautiful harmony, that even the angels watching from above could feel the connection and love between them.

"It feels impossible." They spun

"It's not impossible." and spun

"Is it impossible?" and spun until...

"Say that it's possible!" Alec and Magnus's lips met in a small kiss.

"How do we rewrite the stars! Say you were made to be mine, nothing can keep us apart cause you are the one I was meant to find." Alec and Magnus held hands as they ran down the streets of Brooklyn, New York. "It's up to you and it's up to me, no one can say what we get to be, and why don't we rewrite the stars, changing the world to be ours..." They slowed down when they stood in front of the shadow hunters institute. Alec stared at the tall grey modern building and the smile instantly slips from his lips. He looked at Magnus.

He knew what he had to do. He knew...He knew, but just the thought. It made him uneasy with pain, not for himself, but for Magnus. He couldn't ruin things between them. He couldn't destroy Magnus reputation or his families for that matter. It had to be done.

"You know I want you, It's not a secret I try to hide," Alec started, his voice growing quiet as he slipped his hands away from Magnus, "but I can't have you." He stared at Magnus and was immediately struck with pain at the destroyed look on the warlock's face. He couldn't leave Magnus like that. It's too cruel after everything that happened. He leaned forward, pressing his lips against Magnus. He poured everything into that kiss. Every emotion he didn't even know was possible. Magnus' lips responded to his for a few seconds, before Alexander pulled away.

"We're bound to break and my hands are tied." He finished his voice breaking, eyes watering. He turned away and headed inside, leaving Magnus alone in the night. When he knew Magnus could no longer see him, he let a few tears drip down.

I'm sorry.
