CHAPTER ONE: World Tour. Over.
Hey guys, so this is my very first fanfic, I hope you like it, it's AU and their personalities are a little switched, except Alec is still a closet gay, just a little more confident than he is in the books and Magnus is a little shy when it comes to guys but he is very much out.
I hope you like it!

Alec took in a deep breath, one more song, one more. He nodded to himself, taking in one more breath as the music started.
"We used to say,
That we were, brother and sister,
We used to think, nothing
Was ever bitter,
Today I break my promises
To stay out of the emptiness,
Today let's make our promises,
For tomorrow"
He closed his eyes and did what he always did, let himself get lost in the music, let his voice take him to another place.
"We used to play,
All the games,
Where no ones a winner,
We used to laugh,
And make lies
Sound even better
Today I break my promises
To stay out of the emptiness
Today let's make our promises
For tomorrow"
He opened his eyes as he heard the cheers from the crowd, the only sound that made him feel weightless, as if he mattered.
"We used to swear,
That we were brother and sister,
With all that we do
We knew something better"
With every word leaving his lips he took a step further down the length of the stage, his feet having a mind of their own, wanting to interact with the audience.
"Today we make our promises,
An ending to the loneliness
Today let's make our promises,
For tomorrow"
As soon as the last words left him he smiled and took a bow, thanking everyone for coming as he did every night, thanking the band, and thanking the dancers, after five more minutes of him thanking everyone, he finally made it offstage, a towel thrown around his neck by his manager and best friend Simon. "You were fantastic out there man. The best show yet" Simon said as he offered Alec a bottle of water. Alec shook his head and took the bottle from Simon, taking a gulp and smiling "You say that every show Si, but thank you, how long do I have until the meet and greet?" Simon pulled out his blackberry from his pocket, that thing seemed to be glued to him. "I'd say 20 minutes, 25 at the max, now go shower and get ready, I'll knock when you have 5 minutes left" Alex nodded and headed off to his dressing room to get showered and dressed, waving to Simon as he went, hoping that this meet and greet would go quickly. He was exhausted.
Magnus cheered as he watched the blue eyed wonder walk off stage, his smile was wider than normal as he turned to his best friend Isabelle and encased her once more in a giant hug "Thank you again for this Iz, this is the best surprise birthday present I've ever gotten. I can't believe you did this for me" Isabelle let a quiet giggle leave her slim frame as she pulled away from the hug a minute later. "It was my pleasure, but it's not over yet fanboy." Magnus cocked his head to the side and arched a brow looking at Isabelle curiously "What do you mean? Are you going to take me out for drinks too? Or even better, buy me and Alec Lightwood T-Shirt? If you are, can I get the black one? He looks bet —."Isabelle held a hand up to silence him and he huffed playfully "No," Isabelle replied "I went one better, although I did get you the black shirt, but, I also got you something else" He shook his head, his eyes widening "Well? Iz, come on, spill." She smiled again as she lifted up two back stage meet and greet passes. Magnus almost lost his shit. "Oh my god, Isabelle Herondale, you are the best person on the face of this earth!" Isabelle just laughed and nodded accepting another bone crushing hug from her best friend. "Okay okay, Magnus, if you don't let go of me right now, we're going to miss it." Magnus nodded and let go of her immediately, grabbing one of the passes from her hand and shooting off in the way of the backstage door, a laughing Isabelle trailing behind him.
Alec sighed and ran a hand over his exhausted features, he heard Simon knock on his door, signalling that he had 5 minutes left, he nodded and plastered a big, fake smile onto his lips, before opening his door to see Simon standing there waiting for him. "You ready to go Alec?" Alec simply nodded, letting Simon lead him to the press room for the meet and greet. As soon as he walked through the door, he turned on his "Bright and Bubbly" personality. "Hey guys! You enjoy the show?" He heard their cheers and a chuckle wracked through his body. He nodded and walked to the backdrop, sitting on the stool. His meet and greets were different. His fans got a chance to talk to him, not just get a photo and be ushered off. He smiled as he saw his first fan, a blond haired girl walk up to him, he signed her CD and her arm and took a photo with her and gave her a peck on the cheek after answering a few of her questions, making her light up and move on. He went through about 50 fans before there were only 3 people left. He smiled and waved Simon over, giving him a break for a moment. He gladly took the bottle of water that Simon offered him and failed horribly at keeping in his yawn. He was dead tired, he wanted to get this over and done with, he wanted to go home, where he hadn't been for the last 13 months of his world tour, he was in mid-sentence with Simon when he looked over to the line and saw a tall caramel skinned beauty, he had electric blue hair and the most gorgeous gold-green eyes he'd ever seen in his life, a small smile crept onto his lips as he saw the guys friend tap him on the shoulder and point over to where Alec was sitting, shamelessly staring at him. The guy immediately lit up, a smile as big as Texas taking over his already beautiful features. Alec tore his eyes away from him back to Simon. "Hey Si, make sure those two are last" Simon smirked and nodded as he followed Alecs gaze. "Sure thing boss" Alec nodded gratefully and gave his ready as the next fan was ushered over to Him.
Magnus grumbled as he felt Izzy elbow him in the side. "What Iz?" Isabelle rolled her eyes and pointed behind him "Look fanboy, it's your wildest fantasy coming true" Magnus arched a brow as he turned around, seeing the amazingly gorgeous eyes of Alexander Lightwood fixed on him, Magnus' smile grew as he noticed Alec's eyes flicker over his body and he was glad that he had spent all that time in front of the mirror at the start of the night. His eyes stayed on him as Alec turned to face his manager. Magnus turned back to face Isabelle a silent scream leaving his lips. "Isabelle you are without a doubt, still one of the best people on the face of this universe" Izzy nodded and placed a hand over her heart. "I know I know, now move up, it's our turn." Magnus smiled, bracing himself as he waited at the red belt before Simon Lewis, Alec's manager came up to them "I'm sorry guys, but Alec has requested you stay until last, so we're going to have to let that one through before you, it'll be worth the while, I promise you. Why don't you have a coffee while you wait. I'll get you the good stuff that we drink, not the crappy shit out here" Magnus and Isabelle just nodded at Simon, still smiling even though Magnus felt a little deflated, he had already just waited 2 hours, it was his turn dammit, but he nodded and offered a smile to the girl who walked past him and into the embrace of Alexander Lightwood.
About 10 minutes later, the girl finally got the hint that Alec wouldn't kiss her anywhere but her cheek, she smiled and thanked him and he gave her the much anticipated kiss on the cheek and she was on her way, what a relief. "Simon!" Alec called. He was done; he didn't want to see anyone else. He was about to ask Simon to reschedule for the rest when he remembered the gold-green eyes and his smile was back. Simon was halfway towards him when he shook his head "The next ones please Si." Simon gave him a knowing look and nodded before moving back to the last two fans that somehow had Alec so intrigued. "Hey guys, I'm Simon." The two fans smiled and shook his hand as he extended it to them. The tall dark haired beauty was the first to speak, "I'm Isabelle and the fanboy here is Magnus" Simon smiled. "Well Isabelle and fanboy Magnus, it's nice to meet you. Alec would very much like to see you now" He said as he detached the red rope from the bar and let them walk past to Alec. Magnus took in a deep breath before stepping forward, he had to make the best first impression. His thoughts were interrupted by another voice. "Hey guys, I'm Alec. Did you enjoy your night?" Magnus just nodded, he couldn't believe it he was tongue tied and star struck. A stupid low sound leaving his lips. Luckily for him, Isabelle pitched in. "Hey, I'm Izzy, and this here is Magnus. This concert was a surprise birthday present for him" Alec smiled at Magnus's goofy smile as he stood up from his small stool, extending his hand out to the caramel skinned beauty, "Well Magnus, Happy Birthday, I hope my concert was a good present" Magnus cleared his throat, taking the extended hand in front of him and nodded. "It was the best present I've ever gotten, I am a huge fan" Magnus smiled as he regained his confident posture. Alec smiled, squeezing his hand discreetly before breaking the eye contact, looking toward Izzy. "Would you guys like a photo?" Magnus and Isabelle nodded and Magnus gave his phone to Simon to take a picture on that as well as a professional one. Alec stood between Isabelle and Magnus, wrapping one arm around each one, pulling Magnus a little closer into his side, as Simon started the 3,2,1 countdown, Alec snuck a quick look at Magnus, smiling before turning back to face the barrel of the camera. Once the photo was done, he gave Isabelle a kiss on the cheek and a hug, taking his time getting to Magnus, before giving him a one armed hug. Isabelle then pulled her handbag off her arm. "So, what do we owe you for the photo?" Simon opened his mouth about to say the usual $10 for a photo when Alec shook his head, shutting him up. "Actually you know what? You guys waited so long in that line, it's on the house, I'm sure you can find a way to make up for it somehow" At Alec's words, Magnus's face lit up and Isabelle mouthed a 'thank you' to Alec. Receiving a nod in response. "Well it was really nice meeting you Alec, thank you so much for your kindness, and for making my best friends birthday amazing" Alec just smiled and nodded toward Isabelle once again "It was my pleasure, I love meeting the fans and you guys just so happened to be a special pair, so thank you guys" Alec said in reply. He gave them both another hug before they began to walk off. Simon walked up next to Alec with his arms folded across his chest, whispering lowly to Alec "Are you really going to let him get away?" Alec smiled and looked up at Simon before jogging off after the pair. "Hey Izzy, Magnus! Wait up!" Isabelle and Magnus turning, Magnus looked surprised whereas Isabelle had a smirk on her face. "Hey again Alec, did we leave something behind?" Isabelle replied. "Oh no, I was just…" Alec replied, in fact he didn't know what he was doing. Isabelle gave him a wink and told Magnus she had to use the little girls room before walking back toward the toilets. Alec smiled after her, thanking her silently. "Okay, so the thing is Magnus, I would really like to see you again." Magnus smiled and nodded once, clearly once again speechless, Alec chuckled. "Can I have your phone? I want to put my number in, so that you can call me when you find your voice again" Magnus chuckled along with Alec and nodded pulling out his Blackberry and handing it to him, allowing him to put in his number. Alec smiled as he handed the phone back "Well, I guess I'll see you around Magnus. Hopefully soon."
