What if Tessa Gray didn't turn down William Herondale's offer at the end of Clockwork Angel? Reworded so it's not exactly like Clockwork Angel.
"My room?" asked Tessa.
"Really Tess? You can't be that naive." Will replied comically.
"But Will you don't understand…" Before she could finish Will interupted.
"What's to understand? Your either attracted to me and want to have me at your disposal whenever you chose to have me or your in no way attracted to me and you don't want me at all. What's it going to be Tessa?"
"Will I want a man to court me. I want a man who wants to marry me and be with me because he loves me. I don't want someone who only wants me for...well for intercourse."
"Look Tess, I understand what you want, but I have somethings...somethings I wish not to share with anyone in my life yet. So be it as it may this is the only way you can be with someone like me."
"Will, if I don't do this, will I lose you?" Tessa asked hesitantly.
"No! You will not lose me, but I'm sure that it would be slightly awkward for us to see one another around the Institute."
"Well…" Tessa paused for a moment to look into Will's deep, blue eyes hoping to see that he wasn't serious, but when she looked up at him she saw that he wasn't even looking at her.
"Well, Will you really think your something don't you?"
"No." Will snapped.
"Really William."
"Look Tess, I told you it's either this or no way."
"Why can't we just be friends?" Tessa pleaded.
"Because Tessa you can't just be my friend, as much as I can't just be yours. I am always going to want more from you, and more of you. I knew I wanted more from you the night we kissed in the attic." Will explained.
"Will."
"Tessa just go. Go now and don't turn around."
"But…" Will wouldn't let her finish.
"GO!" He screamed.
"Fine Will, fine." Tessa began to leave the roof. She didn't turn to see that Will had finally looked up from the ground to watch her leave. She also didn't get to see the single tear that ran down his left cheek. She stopped about six steps away from Will. She turned and ran right into his arms and he gasped in surprise.
"Will please stop making me leave you." She pleaded.
"Tess, I-" She didn't let him finish. She had placed her finger over his lips to close his mouth.
"Look William Herondale if you say that the only way I can be near you is to give my body to you, then so be it."
"Tess. Why did you change your mind?"
"Because you mean more to me than anything in the world, and you are someone I wish to keep in my life, no matter what I must give up to do so." And with that said Will placed his hands around her face and pulled her to him and kissed her. Nothing could take this moment away from them, not even the sound of Jem's cane as he walked across the roof to greet them.
