A/N: So this has been a hell of a long time coming… I hope you all remember where the last chapter ended… Sorry about the wait guys, I've been majorly busy with college work and fangirling over Shadowhunters :)

So, anyway, on with it! I think you'll like it :)

...

Alec stared at the back of the red velvet curtain, letting the soft flow of LA air blow through his hair as the babble of the rooftop party died down and Ragnor took to the improvised stage.

"Hey, hey everybody! I trust you're all having a good time."

He was drowned out by a raging cheer and avid screaming from the 500+ people he had invited. Alec was frozen, listening to the extent of the crowd. They'd never played a venue so big before.

"Now, as you know, every year i have a bitching band play all night long and tonight is no exception. I was introduced to these guys by Magnus, whom i trust you all know by now."

He said cheekily as the crowd screamed and cheered for Magnus. The mention of his man calmed Alec down a little, but he, and the rest of his band, was terrified.

"Good. Now. Enough about Magnus, because right now it's all about the band behind that curtain. 5 guys from New York. One epic drum kit. Three flawlessly bitching guitars. And one lead vocalist who is, simply put, sex personified..."

Alec blushed hard at this as the guys all gave him big smiles and he shook his head, sighing. Trust Ragnor to say something like that.

"They're young, they're hot, and they're amazing. So give it up for Shadowhunters!"

The ground literally vibrated from the sheer volume of the screams and cheers and Alec gulped, severely hoping that, they lived up to the hype and did Ragnor proud. There was also the added pressure of Ragnors record producer friend watching them somewhere in the sea of people. A sea of people made of actors and musicians and models and Wall Street moguls and sportsmen and anybody who was anybody in LA. No pressure then.

But Alec didn't have to ponder that, because the curtain was rising for the biggest gig of their lives. He turned to the guts and they shared nervous smiles before silence prevailed.

And then... Showtime.

...

Alec shook out his sweaty hair and shoved his leather jacket off his shoulders, throwing it out into the crowd, only to be caught by Magnus, who winked at him and licked his lips. Alec just laughed, winking right back. There was just something about being on stage that gave him a confidence he'd never had before.

The crowd were loving them. The screams and cheers and applause never really stopping for their whole set. And now, they just had one song left to go.

Alec raised his hands and the crowd fell quiet, the occasional cheer and wolf whistle ringing out and the cameras still flashing.

"Well. I'm not gonna lie. Standing behind that curtain was the most terrifying experience of our lives. And looking out at all your beautiful faces is insane. I mean, we're just 5 average guys from New York with a dream of making it big. And now we're playing Ragnor Fells, what is it? 30th birthday?"

Alec asked cheekily much to the humour of the crowd. Ragnor cried out indignantly, though with a smile.

"I'M 29!"

Alec grinned.

"Sure, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better."

The crowd laughed and Alec could only smile. It seemed in a party of LA's finest and most famous, they fit in perfectly.

"Now, we've only got time for one more song before the DJ starts hating us for taking up too much time so this one's for Ragnor, just to say a little happy birthday. And thank you for giving us this chance. It's our cover of Ragnors favourite song, Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams. Happy birthday, Ragnor!"

He shouted as the guitars fired up and the crowd cheered again.

"Sing along if you know it, guys!"

Alec yelled as they cheered and then the vocals kicked in and Alec let his voice go for the last time that night.

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it till my fingers bled

It was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

But Jimmy quit

And Jody got married

I should've known

We'd never get far

But when i look back now

The summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Alec smiled as he sung the words, relating fairly strongly, as were the guys as they played their hearts out. Alec looked out at the crowd and saw Magnus beaming up at him with that heart stopping smile and Alec sang, knowing that Magnus knew he was singing to him.

And now the times are changing

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes when i play that old six string

I think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standing on your mama's porch

You told me that it'd last forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

The song ended to a standing ovation and tears the eyes of Alec and the guys. Magnus was biting his lip, staring up at him with a stuttering heart.

Not breaking their emotional stare, Magnus pointed to himself, then made a heart with his hands, before pointing at Alec.

Alec felt his heart slam in his chest and he beamed widely, tears still falling as the applause and screams continued around them. Slowly, he out his hand over his heart and pointed back at Magnus, mouthing the words:

I love you, too.

Magnus smiled and they shared one last look of love before the band was mobbed by the crowd and Magnus took a step back to let the boy he loved enjoy his first moment of glory.

...

"Alec! Simon! Jordan! Guys! Come here! I wanna introduce you to someone!"

Ragnor called to them as the crowds dispersed back into the party and the band had a moment to breathe.

They made their way to the bar area where Ragnor was stood with a tall, slim, white haired man with piercing black eyes. They knew who this mam was.

Ragnor beamed.

"Gentleman, this is Valentine Morgenstern. Valentine, this is Alec, Simon, Jordan, Kirk and Eric. Also known as Shadowhunters."

Valentine smiled at them and shook their hands in turn, as the boys were reduced to a humble mess of babbling.

"You boys are really something. I could help you make it big in this world if you're ready for it. But it'll be hard work and i dint think i could do anything with you until Alexander here turns 16."

They all stared at him in wonder and Jordan mused aloud.

"That's it? No questions asked, you're just gonna sign us once Alec hits 16?"

Valentine smiled as Ragnor laughed.

"Boys, I've heard the demos you gave Ragnor. I saw the video of your show at Pandemonium. And i just watched you tear this room apart and reduce a group of international superstars into rabid fangirls. I've seen enough. So yes, once Alec turns 16, ill arrange to fly you to my California head office and we'll iron out all the details. Then we can make Shadowhunters a worldwide smash. With the help of Ragnor and his magazine, of course."

Ragnor tipped an imaginary hat and beamed as Valentine shook hands with the boys again before saying that he would in touch and disappearing into the crowd. Ragnor gave the boys a huge smile and high fived Simon as they cheered and drank to the start of their journey.

Alec took a deep breath and stared out at the glistening horizon. He couldn't quite believe how one meeting in an alleyway changed his life so drastically.

...

"Congratulations, Alexander. That was amazing. I'm so proud of you."

Alec smiled at the voice as the door of his hotel room clicked shut and the lock slid into place. He had left it open and remained awake in the hope that he would come in. And he didn't disappoint.

A pair of arms slid their way around Alec's waist and held him tight, as a warm, lithe body pressed fully against his own. Music was still playing on the rooftop and the faint thrum of the baseline could be heard just enough.

Alec moaned softly as hips started rolling against his ass, grinding to the slow beat in a hypnotic rhythm. He tipped his head back and it fell onto a warm shoulder that surrounded him in the smell of sandalwood and sugar. He slipped his eyes shut and moved his hips in perfect tandem as a pair of caramel coloured, ring-clad hands slipped under his shirt to caress the musculature of his toned stomach and stroke at his burning skin.

He let out a breathy moan and sighed happily as a sensual sucking sensation teased his neck. He opened his eyes and raised his hand until he reached the soft black and blue hair which he hastily tangled his fingers in, pulling and playing with it slowly. The man behind him moaned at the feeling, the action sending waves of pleasure through his body, leaving that deliciously warm tingle in his lower stomach.

Softly, he gripped Alec's hips and turned his around, holding him close as their eyes met. Alec locked his hands behind Magnus' neck and smiled up at him. Magnus smiled right back.

"You were so amazing on that stage, Alec. It was like you were born to be a star. It was incredible. Your voice is that of an angel."

Alec blushed deeply at Magnus' praise and he swallowed thickly.

"Thanks."

Magnus chuckled and leaned down, pressing his lips to Alec's ear.

"And God, when you sing your older songs, those screams you do and the way you growl into the mic... It makes me so hot."

Alec gasped and blushed, partly embarrassed, partly pleased that his voice could affect Magnus in such a way. He smiled as Magnus nibbled on ear before pulling back with a smile.

"Ragnor told me about Valentine. I'm so happy for you. You deserve it. I just hope that when you're some huge mega international rock star, you'll think back to how this all started and remember me."

Alec looked up at Magnus curiously, pulling him closer and pressing a kiss to his cheek softly, whispering against Magnus' flushed skin.

"I won't need to remember you. Because you'll be right there with me."

Magnus let out a weird breathy gasp and gripped Alec's waist, pulling the boy right against him. With mutual gravity, their lips found each other desperately and they clung to each other for dear life. Magnus seemed to be trying to make the most of it, like Alec could slip away at any moment.

But Alec held him close, stroking him, reassuring him, which seemed confusing, as Alec was, after all, only technically a child. But that didn't matter.

After a minute of heated passion and feeling what was definitely Magnus' tongue in his mouth, Alec pulled back with a smile, feeling a whole new level of intimacy.

"I meant it, you know."

He whispered softly, leaning in and kissing Magnus' jaw, running his nose along Magnus' and pressing their foreheads together. Magnus' breath hitched as Alec continued.

"When i said 'i love you, too'. I meant it."

Magnus gasped, nuzzling his face against Alecs, their warm breath mingling as he held his boy tight in his arms.

"I meant it too."

He whispered in a shaky voice. Alec smiled, his lips whispering against Magnus'.

"I love you, Magnus."

"I love you, too, Alexander."

They shared a kiss that wiped the floor with all their others, a kiss that promised a million more, a kiss that drowned out the world around them.

And as they fell asleep, fully clothed, snuggled under the covers with their foreheads together and their arms around each other, the party raged in outside and the moon winked down at them from the heights of the starry sky.
