Raphael was pacing around Magnus' loft, regretting coming here in the first place. He knew that he would regret coming here but he knew that if he asked Lily about anything that he was about to confess to an overly glittery warlock that she would scream and that would ruin his secret and he would find out. 

"What can I do for you, Raphael?" Magnus exclaimed loudly, annoying Raphael greatly.

Raphael groaned out something inaudible in response.

"Sorry, what was that, Raphael?"

"I think Simon is my mate," He grumbled slowly, ready to cover his ears.

Magnus let out an ear piercing squeal, that successfully woke Simon, who just so happened to be staying in the loft with Magnus after the whole 'break-up' with Clary thing. Simon came running out of his room, teeth bared in the most "terrifying" way that he could muster up at this ungodly hour of the day.

"Magnus!" He exclaimed worriedly. "What's wrong?!"

Simon looked around wildly for an attacker or intruder or even for Alec seeing as he learnt the hard way that this is a common way for the extravagant warlock to greet his lover, but instead saw Raphael, his crush, standing there somehow able to look both surprised and annoyed by his presence.

"Raphael? What are you doing here?" He exclaimed, unable to hide his shock from the rest of the room.

"I was just about to ask you the same question Simon," Raphael replied, a smirk appearing on his lips as he watched Simon stutter and stumble over his words trying to explain the situation that he was in without sounding whiny and needy.

"I-I um, er, um, Clary broke up with me," he mumbled quietly as he looked to the floor. "She cheated on me," he added quietly, tears coming to his eyes.

Raphaels fists balled of their own accord, his teeth grinding together almost comically. Magnus stood in the corner, drink in hand, watching the interaction between the two unknown mates with mirth. He chuckled quietly when he saw Raphael's anger increase when a tear slipped out of Simon's eye.

"She did WHAT?!" Raphael boomed, the loft shook and Simon flinched back enough for him to realise what he'd done and soften his gaze and his tone.

"Simon, do you need anything?" Raphael said softly, hoping not to scare or hurt the young vampire anymore than he already was.

Simon looked up at Raphael in shock. This was the nicest he had ever been to him and he was wondering why more than anything else. He decided to test the limitations of the newfound kindness coming from his clan leader. Simon took a deep breath to calm his nerves and was shocked to find out that Raphael smelt like home.

"I-I have a-a q-question," He muttered quietly, fiddling with his fingers to control the urge to bear hug his leader.

"Anything Baby," Raphael responded quietly, shocking the whole room with the nickname. Magnus snuck out when he heard his boyfriend come home and decided that they should go out for dinner to give the two lovers some space to sort out what was going on and what will happen in the future.

"U-um, why do you smell like home? Why do I suddenly want to be really close to you? Can I snuggle with you? What is happening to me?" Simon rushed out.

Raphael chuckled fondly and looked over at Simon thinking that now was as good a time as any to tell him what mates are and that they were each others mates.

"I smell like home to you because we are mates which is also why you want to be really close to me, of course we can snuggle and nothing is happening to you, you just discovered your soulmate," Raphael explained with a small smile.

With that Simon practically jumped into Raphael's arms and nuzzled into his neck. Soon enough Simon had fallen asleep in Raphael's arms and he was carried back to his bed where Raphael stripped him down to his boxers, doing the same to himself, and pulled them both under the covers, snuggling into Simon's back and purring contently.

"Sleep well, Baby Boy," Raphael muttered sleepily, his eye closing as well.
