Simon and Raphael first met at the mall. Clary dragged Simon along to meet her new girlfriend and they got held up when a flash mob started. The two best friends in the front, seeing all of the dancing. "They're going to get kicked out" Clary stated. "I think the hot one could easily convince anyone to let them off the hook" Simon commented, not noticing a familiar glittery man smirk from behind him. "Wh- are you talking about the... That one?" The red-head asked, giving Simon a seriously? look. "Yeah, who else would I be talking about?" He asked. Clary left to go to the restroom and almost instantly the flashmod ended. While waiting for Clary to return. One of the dancers -the 'hot one'- walked up to Simon with a smile on his face. "Raphael, what's yours lindo uno?" He introduced. "Simon... You were amazing by the way" he complemented. "Thank you, do you want to meet up again, Saturday? Dinards Café?" The dancer asked. "Uh... Y-yeah, sure" Simon shuddered. Raphael smiled and gave him a piece of paper before walking off to his dance group.
"He's a complete stranger Simon!" Clary exclaimed. "But he's so sweet to me... If anything goes wrong, I'll text you" Simon reasserted and left his best friend's apartment to meet the dancer at the cafe in his mall where they met. While walking through the mall, music could be heard in the direction he was headed to. Simon saw his date and like 3 of his friends dancing to old pop music. I'm going to have to get used to this if we continue going out Simon told himself. As soon as Raphael saw him, he turned off the music with his foot and walked towards him. "Is this something you do a lot?" He asked. "Passes time and practice makes perfect" Raphael stated, Simon just shrugged and smiled. He didn't miss the adoring looks the other dancers shot at him.
"So what do you do lindo uno?" Raphael asked. "I'm in college, second year... I'm guessing you're a dancer?" Simon said. "We're trying. That's a reason why we dance in public without warning" the dancer explained. "Why don't you just become a band? I mean, you could still dance, just have to sing- that can't be too bad" the taller asked. "Only Lily can sing, she has a great singing voice but she doesn't like to sing in front of strangers." "I bet you could sing" Simon commented. "No, I really- I can't sing-" Simon interrupted, "you can't or won't sing?" Raphael shot him a playful smile along with a glare.
It would later become an unsaid transition that whenever Simon was even a minute late, Raphael would be dancing when he got there and stop when he saw his (unofficial) boyfriend. The student also met all of Raphael's dancer friends, who seemed to all love him before he even said anything. Turns out Raphael talked about him everytime he returned from one of their dates.
"Raph really likes you" Simon heard a voice tell him while he was watching Raphael and 10 others practice dancing. Not that they really needed it. "I really like him too" he replied, smiling so Lily knew he wasn't just saying it.
The Sunday after that, Simon was at his mom's house for dinner. "You should invite your boyfriend over for dinner sometime" she told her son. He just stared at her for a bit before saying anything. "I- I don't know... He's really b- very busy" he shuddered. "C'mon Si, I want to meet him too. You seem much happier with him then you ever did when you dated in high school" his sister, Rebecca said. "I could ask him but he might be bus-" Simon was cut off by his mother asking, "what exactly does he do?" "He's uh, he dances. He and a.. Lot of his friends are in a dance group together." "Oooh, that sounds fun" Rebecca commented, clearly interested.
