I'm just not interested in sex

a/n: Honestly bless Shadowhunters and bless Raphael Santiago.

This chapter contain minor spoilers about season 2A of Shadowhunters, just so you know. But like nothing that will ruin anything for you if you haven't seen it yet so don't worry.

Six words. Who would've thought that only six words could be so relatable, that those six words would mean so much to someone and that those six words would lead to a whole period of self-discovery.

You can argue that "I'm" it's not one word, but two as it's a contraction of two separated words, but that's not the point here.

Jeongguk will forever take memory of those six words, will always be grateful for hearing them and will forever count them as six words.

It was a Tuesday morning when Jeongguk finally watched the recent episode of his new favorite show, Shadowhunters.

The episode had been out since the night before and Jeongguk had tried so hard to find a link to watch it live but all the damn websites full of questionable ads that would randomly open a porn tab on his laptop, failed him.

Living in a country where the TV shows don't air on TV is hard business. Thankfully this show was a Netflix one and that meant that the day after it aired on TV it would be on that glorious website.

Jeongguk woke up early and the first thing he did was open his laptop to watch the show. Having finished college and having to wait half a year to start his post-graduation course had its perks.

He excitedly watched the episode and was delighted with pretty much everything that was happening in it, until one scene unfolded in front of him.

Raphael and Izzy were cuddled together in the couch and by the atmosphere of the scene Jeongguk was sure that the, what he likes to call, "sex for no apparent reason" scene would start any minute now.

He groaned internally because he was already not fond of the couple because he thought it didn't matched at all, but also because he wishes the shows would just stop putting random sex scenes out of nowhere in them. It didn't make sense for him.

He would always think something like can't we just focus on the storyline instead of people banging each other because for some reason you people think it's entertaining?

But then the most gracious thing happened. Izzy went for the kiss - Jeongguk was ready to roll his eyes - and Raphael turned his head away.

The boy then perched up in his seat and watched the scene unfold with a new found interest.

"It's not like that." Raphael said. "I'm not like that."

Jeongguk was now on the edge of his seat and then he said it. Raphael said those six words that made something inside Jeongguk scream in joy.

"I'm just not interested in sex."

Jeongguk straight up squealed the most excited and honest "same" of his life.

Never in his whole life had he seen a character have this opinion about sex. The whole world seems to be so damn sex focused that it never occurred to Jeongguk that not being interested in it was even a real thing.

Izzy then asked Raphael if being a vampire made him this way and for the joy of little Jeon Jeongguk the character replied with a: "No. I've always been like this."
