Right, so I just randomly go this idea and I thought I would try it out! It's a bit odd, and I'm not yet sure how exactly it is going to work, but give it a go and tell me what you think?! Is is good or should I scrap it? Thanks for checking this out!

Magnus drew back and turned away from Alec, running his hands through his hair and crushing the glittery peaks. Right now his normally terribly important appearance meant nothing, and the blue eyed boy he had just turned away from meant everything. He knew that he would never see those eyes again - or thought it at least. He didn't yet know the secrets behind a certain someone's eyelids. He felt awful for doing this, but the whole relationship was wrong, had turned beautifully bitter, he was sure that Alec would be much happier with someone else. Well, he was trying to make himself believe that anyway, in a vague attempt to make this whole thing easier. Magnus had been a shit boyfriend, and both of them had made so many mistakes it was unrealistic for the relationship to continue. It would just end worse than this - if you could get worse than this Magnus would certainly have like to hear it. Magnus kept his back stubbornly towards his soon to be ex boyfriend and bit his shimmering lip.

"I'm sorry Alec, but it's over. We can't carry on like this, you and I both know that. I am going to go out, and when I get back I want you gone. Take one of them, I don't mind which. I know they both need each other and two parents, but it is the only way I can see this working."

Magnus stormed out of the apartment he had shared with Alexander Lightwood. He couldn't bear to see the tears fall down Alec's face that mirrored those streaking his own cheeks. Couldn't bear to turn and see Alec shuffle over to the bedroom, gathering up his few possessions into a battered leather suitcase - Magnus had always had way more things than his withdrawn boyfriend - and smash his phone on the floor, cutting nearly all of the fragile ties he had. He had cut all but two. Magnus had left so he didn't have to be there when Alec cried hopelessly over the two boys lying in a crib.

Two days old. Only two days old. They had been born of a surrogate mother after the pair decided they wanted children on Alec's eighteenth some eleven months earlier. What a stupid, stupid idea. Alec and Magnus's broken hearts would heal over time, but the tiny children that lay helplessly before Alec would never know their other father or brother, possibly never knowing that they existed. It filled Magnus's heart with an awful pain that he was afraid could never be fixed. The boys hadn't even opened their eyes yet. One child would never see Magnus's face. One child would never see Alec's.

Alec kissed the child that held his pale skin and the inky hair both parents shared on his forehead, before scooping up the boy that looked so much like Magnus, with golden skin and sleepy almond shaped eyes. Magnus would never know that the eyes were the unusual green-golden shade that he possessed himself. Alec would never know that his beautiful blue eyes had been inherited after all. Maybe that made it slightly easier. That both of them would remain oblivious to the true legacy that they had left behind. It was the eyes of each boy that had drawn them together like a magnet. And it was those eyes that had made them fall hopelessly in love with each other. Well, that love had turned out to be a poison, slowly eating away at them until only a broken mess remained. The mess that they now were clearing up by making it disappear almost entirely, only leaving tiny shards of glass designed to dig into their hearts.

Magnus was not there so see Alec leave the apartment, cutting yet another tie so that only one remained, suitcase in his hand and sleeping child in the crook of his arm. Magnus would never know where the plane that took Alec far away from New York that evening, leaving behind his family, friends and everything he held most dear behind, had landed. No one would. Alec had felt the only way he could attempt to cope was if he was leaving everything and not just his ex.

Magnus only had one final reminder of their relationship to prove he had even met Alec, all the pictures having been ripped up and his possessions taken. The little child clinging desperately to his shirt, eyes finally peeling open revealing a blue Magnus had thought he would never see again. That was the thing that broke him. Clutching his son desperately to his chest, he sunk to his knees and dissolved into heartbroken tears that dripped down his face, washing away any happiness that had remained when Alec had left his life. If only this hadn't ended this way. If only they had tried to fix it. But maybe it was so broken that the love required to fix it would have destroyed them both. Well, Magnus was destroyed anyway. Maybe the whole thing had been doomed from the beginning. Magnus finally fell into a dream littered sleep like that, leaning against a wall with his nameless son curled up in his arms.

What do you think? I know it is short, but this is only the prologue and I promise future chapters will be longer. Please review and tell me your opinion on what I have written so far. Also, names! Any suggestions for either or both? Review and let me know!

Thank you for reading!
