The Future Plan

(This is book two of a Malec AU called The Family Plan. Read that one first, thank you!)

Seventeen year old Rafael Lightwood-Bane has a lot on his plate these days. School, approaching graduation, work, embarrassing parents and a boyfriend is enough to keep anyone busy, but on top of that he also has a insufferable little brother to deal with. He's gotten pretty used to catering to the needs of said brother, but when a once in a life time opportunity arrives, Rafael may have to choose between Max's happiness, or his own.

Max Lightwood-Bane isn't what most people would call 'normal'. His days usually consist of attending protests, living inside Hot topic, and trying to convince his dad that gluten free is the only truly healthy way of life. He has no friends, but that never seems to bother him when all he really needs is his parents and big brother Rafael. Though lately, it seems all Rafael wants to do is spend time with his boyfriend and work alone in his art studio. He can feel Rafe, slowly slipping away and what he feared would happen one day was finally coming to pass.

Demons of the past are slowly creeping up on both these boys, and while one is ready to face them head on, the other is afraid of drowning in them. Can these brothers both get what they want, or will their fragile relationship shatter before their eyes?

Trigger Warnings: physical, mental and implied sexual assault of a minor.
