"Max what are you talking about? Get down" Alec frowned getting angry at the reason behind his son's drastic measure. Magnus too glared at Rafael "What did I tell you before Rafael. This is none of your business"

Max looked at Rafael and then at Alec "You both are always fighting. Why can't you be friends like us"

Alec pursed his lips "Not everybody can be friends Max. Don't forget you and Rafael use to fight all the times"

"But Mr Lightwood we do not fight now. We've become best friends and we don't like when you and Papa fight all the time"

"Rafael.."

"You both were supppse to marry and.." Max blurted out and Alec's eyes widened "Max! What are you thinking...who told you we are getting married"

"But that's what they do in movies" Rafael whined and Magnus fisted his hands "Not with the movies again! I should seriously do something about your TV time"

Alec faced to glare at Magnus "Really Magnus? You're thinking about TV when our boys are standing on the railing which could easily be twenty feet drop! You're unbelievable"

"Shut up Alexan..." Magnus pressed his lips "I know the seriousness of the situation. You don't need to remind me"

"I can see how well you're handling"

"Seems like you've got all the luck out here isn't it?"

"This is all your fault!" Alec raised his voice

"I could say the same thing about you!" Magnus yelled back "You're..."

"PAPA!"

"DAD!"

The two adults stopped bickering and turned around. It broke both their hearts when they saw tears in Rafael's and Max's eyes "It's not your fault Dad. It's our fault"

"What?"

"Max is right. We were the one who did this. We made you fight and now you both are not stopping" Rafael cried harder

"Angel it's not your fault"

"I'm sorry Daddy"

"I'm sorry Papa"

"Max we can talk when you get down. You're a good boy...both of you...Rafael please I'm begging you to get down" Alec pleaded

"Boys please get down" said Magnus gulping down the heavy lump

"No...we made you cry and fight. We deserve to get punished" Max looked back and his leg slipped a bit since they were holding hands Rafael wobbled a little with him

"Rafael!"

"Max!"

The boys steadied themselves. Max saw Alec come two steps close so he warned him again "Dad get back!"

Alec quickly moved back not wanting to scare them again. His heart was hammering in his chest ready to explode any second. He didn't know in his fearful state when his hands reached out and grabbed Magnus's.

Magnus felt Alec's shaky and desperate hand on him and he glanced beside him. Alec was badly shaking, sweat and anxiety covered his face and he could tell the young man was close from having a panic attack.

Magnus placed his hand on Alec's who titled his head "Calm down Alexander" he whispered "This will not help the boys" Alec looked down and then met Magnus's eyes. He gave a small nod and removed his hand

Max squeezed Rafael's hand and motioned him to look at their fathers joined hands. Rafael smiled broadly "I think it's working"

Alec took a deep breath. He was done pleading and the boys needed to know they were in charge "Max and Rafael I'm warning you both. If you will not get down now then we'll punish you boys...a very big and hard punishment. You hear me?"

"He is right" Magnus too raised his voice "Stop this nonsense right now and step down!"

Max jumped a little on hearing the loud and angry voice of his father. He almost thought of getting back down when Rafael stopped him "You are yelling again. Bye bye Papa. I love you" he twisted his body

"NO! RAFAEL STOP! I'm sorry okay ...I won't yell... Please stay where you are"

"Max I've brought a surprise for you. Do you check it out?" Alec tried bribing again. He nudged Magnus with his elbow "Right Magnus? You didn't tell them about our surprise"

Magnus understood what Alec was doing so he nodded "Yes there are two surprise gifts. You both are going to love it"

"Oh yeah? What is it?" asked Max feeling tempted at the word surprise gift. Rafael shook his head at Max and whispered "It's a trick. Don't fall for it"

Max nodded and glared at his father "Dad it's wrong to cheat!"

"We're not!" Alec saw the boys were not even looking at him so he gave up. Magnus too was feeling frustrated. Nothing was working with the boys. He didn't know what else to do

"We want to become brothers" Rafael reminded

"Brothers" confirmed Max

"This doesn't work that way Maxie" Alec's voice was soft and he glanced beside him "Things are different now" Magnus swallowed thickly "Things are...different now"

"We wanted you to fight and you did!" Max pointed out "Now we don't want you to fight, why aren't you listening to us?" he pouted

"Max..."

"After your fight with Mr Bane, you are always sad in the house. You eat less, sleep less, don't play games with me and get angry all the time"

Magnus looked at Alec

"Papa is also sad all the time. He is always checking his phone to see if Mr Lightwood has called or left messages. He is also not eating all the food in his plate"

Alec looked at Magnus

"You took care of Papa when he was in hospital. Why?" asked Rafael

Alec was still looking at Magnus

"Why Mr Lightwood?"

"Yes..why Dad?"

Alec's eyes shone with tears "Because...because I wanted to help. Because I couldn't see mag...I couldn't see you in pain. Because...I.. I still love you Magnus...I love you"

Magnus felt all the tension lift between with Alec's words. He let out a watery laugh and cupped Alec's face "You idiot...I love you too...so much" Magnus then closed the gap between their lips and kissed Alec pouring all his love into it. Alec smiled through the kiss and pulled Magnus close by his waist

Max and Rafael had the huge and brightest smile on their faces. They squeezed their hands feeling extremely happy. They did it! They brought their fathers together. Everything was going to be alright.

Max got over excited and he did a big mistake of bouncing on his legs. To his horror he felt himself airborne and since he and Rafael was holding hands,

the boys together slipped off the railing

"DAAAD!"

"PAPAAA!"

The two adults broke the kiss only to realise their happy life which hadn't even started yet was about to come to an brutal end.
