Across the Ocean

Thomas had good friends, he had Matthew, James, and Christopher but sometimes he thought he might give them all up to be able to meet with Alastair in person. To talk with someone who just understood him. Alastair Carstairs had no friends, a failing relationship with a boy who was deeply in the closet, a meddling sister, and Thomas lightwood, the boy who he met over a politics discussion board. The boy who didn’t let Alastair push him away, who lived an ocean away.

hey hello this is my first work in the last hour's universe please don't judge too harshly, I know my grammar is garbage (my only beta reader is Grammarly) but essentially know that Matthew and Alastair do not know each other so them hating each other is not from past trauma or arguments, and there are slight mentions of Elias being verbally abusive towards Alastair, so trigger warning for that (Elias is not a main character and if I do decide to add him as one later in the story I will add another trigger warning, just in case anyone is triggered by abuse I don't want cause anyone that kind of pain or hurt) anyways I am working through chapter two as this one is posted i will try to keep up with it,
