Simon had been hard to find...and even harder to save. Despite our efforts at peace, it seemed that some downworlders just weren't about to give us what we wanted. The vampires were hard to work with and it didn't help that every few seconds I fell into a daydream caused by that one man with the cat eyes.
When I finally came home to the Institute and lumbered to my room, fell back onto my bed and was ready to sleep instantaneously. I lay down but something was preventing me from sleep. I rolled over to see a scrunched up piece of paper left behind him.
It had been digging into my back pocket and I realised that was the only thing keeping me awake at all. With my eyes shutting, I reached out and unravelled the paper revealing a blur of messy handwriting covering the paper.
The words were sweet and would keep me up for even longer that night, despite it almost being the next day.
Dear Alexander,
I had a great time last night. I would like to do it again.
Call me,

Magnus x
I laughed at just how illegible his handwriting was but couldn't wipe the large grin off my face as I read it. I had just met this man yet I couldn't help but feel happier than I had in most of my life. I grasped for my phone, pulling up my contacts and typing as many details I could of him in.
I was ready to send a message but it seemed that my mind didn't want to accept the idea. My finger hovered over the send button, my hand shaking as I restrained from pressing it. But, against my better judgement, my finger hit the button and I could feel the regret hit me like a train.
Had a great time too x, it read. I groaned, it was too much, too forward. Yet wasn't the letter he sent me alone too forward? My mind was conflicted. This was my first chance at a relationship and I couldn't help but doubt the possibility of success. He was a man and a warlock after all yet in that moment I didn't care.
What if the x was too much? What if I had texted too quickly? What if that letter was just given out of obligation? I groaned once again, attempting to silence my obnoxiously loud mind. I could already tell this would be a long day but it was too late now, the message had been sent and there was nothing I could do about that now.
I stuffed the note back in my front pocket in hopes to keep it from prying eyes and fell asleep instantaneously, too tired for even my busy mind to keep awake.
When I woke up, it was only ten in the morning. I had dragged myself out of bed, walked out in only my pyjamas and found myself in front of Jace who had an overexcited look on his face and I could tell before he even spoke what the topic of our conversation would be.
