I'll keep getting better for you. I promise."

I don't stop ?"

"Loving me."

I've wanted this...

With Simon...

Since I knew how to want."

There's no good way to be in bed with a vampire."

"I beg to differ," he says.

Simon..." I know he's damaged and insecure, but he keeps questioning the one thing I know for certain. It's insulting. "I'll always come back," I say.

"Me, too." he whispers.

But you're still the same person. I know because I loved you then, and I love you now, and I know that's not enough to make you happy --to make anyone happy-- but you're the same person, Simon. You're still you."

"It's enough," he finally grumbles.

"What is," I whisper.

"The fact that you love me. It does make me happy."

She will. Baz..." I start, not sure how I'll finish.

He shakes his head again. "You can't lie to me, Simon."

"I--"

"Daphne is waiting for me," he says.

He turns to go.

My own Chosen One has been in the headmistress's office for ages."

Baz's grey eyes are wide and shinning. He looks completely miserable. "I tried to take your magic, Snow : Your voice ! It was supposed to be you !"

This is the confession I always wanted from him, and now that I have it, I just want to tell him that it doesn't matter. I lived. I lost my magic anyway. But at least now I have him. I know it wasn't a direct trade-off, but I still feel like I got the better end of the deal. "

I'm going to murder Smith-Richards. I'm already going to jail for Philippa's voice. I may as well add this to my crimes."

I'm rubbing his back. I can't stop touching him, to be honest, even though this definitely isn't the time."
