You are a cute vampire

Chapter 8

"Raph..."
"Yes Simon? "
"I want to visit my family. I want to see if they are leading a good life." without me.

Simon didn't say it out loud the last part of the sentence, he couldn't bear the pain and also that Raphael. He knew Raphael is feeling guilty and this may be the knot to them. If not untied soon, this may also be the reason why they are going to quarrel much.

"Sure, i will wait for you at Hotel Dumort. Promise me you will come back?"

Simon didn't respond, he hugged Raphael lightly and left silently. Raphael see him leaving as he slowly sat on the sofa by the middle of the room. His fist tightened as he sat down, frowning.

He didn't expect this problem to come so soon, he didn't wanted to quarrel. He is just starting to enjoy his immortal life and also that he just got his love of life. He could see the sadness in Simon's eyes. It was heartbreaking to see him trying to bottle up everything.

He couldn't bear knowing what will happen if Simon wasn't a vampire and is still a mundane.

If Simon wasn't a vampire, where will he be now?

Singing with his band as he study in school,

Enjoying life and dating girls.

And not being stuck as a soulless demon and resurrected.

And not dating guys.

And he will be happy not sad.

Raphael could literally feel his head bursting, as he delicate hands run across his perfect ebony hair irritated, making it messy.

Raphael took off his jacket and went to pick up a new suit as he takes towel for showering. After all this years, he still loved bathing. It was his way of de-stress, when the lukewarm water flood him, he could feel his heart regaining peace and the anger cells in his body seems to not fidget anymore.

After taking out another suit, he took a look at the suit by the side. The suit he recommended to Simon for Magnus and Alec's wedding. His coarse hands touch the smooth fabric as he let his fingers run. Memories came pouring in, and he could feel tears dotting his face and sliding down his jawline. He hastily wiped off his tears as he quietly cursed.

He left the room quickly as his legs work fast. Within seconds, he arrived at the bathroom and he got his clothes off soon.

He bathe for a long time, he felt the calmness he haven't felt for a long time. He came out if the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. To his surprise, Simon was already sitting down staring into the blank. Raphael walked towards Simon and waved his hand for a few times but the dorky vampire was just zoned out.

"Earth to Simon? Earth to Si-"
"Ya..ya.. Raph-raphael-el..."
"Stuttering huh?"

Raphael know he saw him when he regained his eyes, he smirked when Simon stuttered.

- Simon's POV

I was thinking of what happened at home just now staring into the blank space. Thoughts were clouding my mind as images show up infront of me like a movie screening.

My mum hugged me tightly as i enter the house and said that Clary came to visit when i crashed in to Jordan's house. Clary explained everything along side with Jace. My mom initially was worried that i couldn't control myself, but she says that someone came and ensured that i won't do anything hurtful to becky or her or anyone else. I was thinking about who this guy was.

"This guy wore suits, black suits and came at night right after the sunset. "

"Raphael?! " I murmured to myself as my mum explained what happened that day.

"What?" "Oh uh..nothing mum, i was just thinking."

"Oh... are you able to... "

"Walk under the sun? Yes."

"Great, that guy said he can't walk under it."

Great, that guy said he can't walk under it.

This guy wore suits, black suits and came at night right after the sunset.

Its Raphael, he came.

"Earth to Simon? Earth to Si-"
My thoughts soon clear and my vision came clear, i saw Raphael in a towel. A freaking towel.
"Ya..ya.. Raph-raphael-el..." I tried to reply but my eyes doesn't seems to leave his body, his chocolate abs, and the white towel.
"Stuttering huh?" I turned and looked at him, he was smirking. Like smirking smirking.

- No one's POV

"Er..er...n-no.."
"No?" He continued smirking as his eyes brighten up when he saw Simon avoiding him. Raphael sat down on the sofa, his gaze never left Simon's cute face. Simon looked down, fiddling with his fingers avoiding Raphael's gaze.

"Raphael, thanks."
"You're welcome. I guessed you figured."
