V2S6- Love Bug...

Chapter 12: Questions, Cameras, Curses, & Kisses

**Chapter Notes***

YAY we're finished! Oh my god, I can't believe I started this round of stories in 2020! It's definitely been a long time coming, I couldnt believe it took that long...but then I just added up the total of work I have and it's 90 chapters and 644,400 words...so...yeah..that kinda adds up. Also that's not even half of all the work I've put into these- that doesnt count world building, notes for future stories, coverart, my Aux chatacters or the million other things that are worked out to go into this insane multiverse I'm building...

So yeah, here's the end of this one, 3 years in the making. Hope you like it!

Simon pushed the door to the apartment closed, groaning, leaning back against it, shaking his head.

"You know for this being an 'easy, low stakes case with no real dangers' it sure went to hell in a hand basket pretty quick."

Raphael chuckled, leaning against the door next to him, turning to face him, trying to fight down a bit of a smile.

"Eh it wasn't really THAT bad."

Simon scoffed, brow raising to his hairline, disbelievingly looking over.

"Not that bad?! My partner got bit by a demonic bug from a hell dimension, I spent hours spinning like a top worrying a couple of teens would find out I'm a Gwir-dyst and trying to seem like a competent detective without seeming too competent in the supernatural to tip my hand about just how much I see and know of the supernatural world, I got loopy from bug pheromones and vapor trails and acted like a moony idiot and a jealous, obnoxiously possessive jackass towards you.

Then after all the spinning and spiraling and doing everything I possibly could to throw them off I ended up outing MYSELF as a Gwir-dyst in order to keep some flaily, babbly well-meaning busybody from having a panic attack thinking he accidentally revealed the supernatural to me and broke my brain.

So now my secret's out with a whole new group of people- this time to a couple of teens, a gargoyle teacher and a nervous, flaily well-meaning busybody who makes ME look calm, cool and collected." He sighed, lightly thunking his head against the door, giving a helpless wave.

"Gotta say really don't have a hell of a lot of faith in the dudes ability to keep a secret. He does seem like a genuinely good guy and I do think his heart is in the right place and he's just wildly out of his depth and scrambling to gain a foothold in this new world but one stumble here and I'm screwed six ways from Sunday. And then there's Divya knowing which is dangerous as hell as he works with Magnus so odds are if he slips it's gonna be with Magnus and it's gonna be bad.

And as if all of THAT wasn't enough I ended up decking a federal agent- a drugged, bug addled federal agent which really makes me feel like crap and it's now 2am and we just barely got home from quasi breaking into the Federal Agent's house in order to drop him off with the hopes he doesn't remember anything too incriminating!

Oh AND icing on the cake I saw my boyfriend kiss someone else.

Exactly what part of that is 'not that bad'?"
