Chapter Text

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Simon wondered, as he made his way to Magnus's, if he should of maybe took a few minutes and tried harder with what he was wearing. In his excitement he'd kind of just rushed out the door; happy that Magnus had agreed to help. He hadn't really given it much thought until he was halfway there as to what he had on. He supposed it wasn't too bad. He did have on his least geeky shirt- It just said 'Don't Blink' and was Tardis blue. Really unless you caught the Doctor Who reference, it didn't seem so bad, maybe a bit random, but not too bad. If you did get the reference, well, in Simon's opinion, then you were just really awesome. He also had on his favorite pair of black, skinny jeans. Plus he had actually made an attempt at taming his hair into some semblance of order. All in all he figured, it wasn't too bad.

Simon was so glad that he'd get to see Magnus again, the guy just seemed so cool, confident and unique; he'd never met anyone like him before. Not only that, but he just seemed SO nice! He was really friendly and seemed to truly enjoy using all kinds of endearments, which kind of made Simon blush. It was a bit weird to Simon; but, like, good weird. He didn't really seem intimidated by anything, ether, even when Detective Ramsey had been really rude and threatening and obviously trying to scare him; Magnus didn't back down, didn't get nervous or even overly defensive. He got mad and he went right back at Ramsey without hesitation, completely shutting the guy down. It was amazing. Simon hoped, if he got to spend enough time with Magnus, maybe he could get some of that kind of confidence. That would be SO cool.

He kind of hope it didn't involve makeup, though. Magnus's looked good and, like really impressive, and stuff; but Simon really didn't think that was him. Well, unless you counted Halloween or comic con or something like that. Not something like, day to day though; he really didn't think he could do that. He could barely even find the time to match his socks and halfway fix his hair. He'd really be lost trying to figure all that out too. Oh, god, what if that somehow offended Magnus! What if he thought Simon was being rude or, like really ungrateful for his help or something? What if he thought Simon thought it was weird? He wouldn't think that, would he? I mean, he was, like, super confident, surely something as small as Simon not wanting to wear makeup wouldn't upset him. Right?

Maybe he should just compliment him on it, like, when he first sees him? But like, subtlety, not like he was hitting on him or anything. Wait, what if he thought Simon was hitting on him!? Simon really liked him and he was actually amazingly good looking; he was easily one of the most eye-catching people Simon had ever seen, and super cool and completely awesome. But, he just didn't really see Magnus like that; he wanted to be as much like him as possible, but he didn't want to actually be with him. Besides, he was pretty sure Magnus and Alec had something between them, and it seemed like it could really end up being something, so Magnus probably won't think he's hitting on him. He doubted Magnus would be rude about it, even if he did think Simon was trying to flirt. Maybe Simon could just change the subject if it comes up? That might work, he decided.

Simon's mind drifted back to how Raphael had been dressed. Maybe if he started by telling Magnus how much he liked Raphaels style; how impressed he was with it, maybe Magnus would try to find stuff like that, only that Simon could actually work with- and, you know, afford. Plus, it would be a way to, subtlety, bring up Raphael. Maybe he could find out a bit more about him, stealthily, of course. The way Raphael had talked, they were really good friends, Maybe Magnus could even give him some ideas as to how to talk to the guy without looking like a complete idiot, maybe even some way to impress him. That would be really great!

And Magnus was sure to help him; he was such a great guy! It would be perfect, Simon decided, nodding slightly to himself. He had a plan now.

He glanced at the text that Magnus had send with the directions to his place, quickly backtracking a bit when he realized he had actually passed the building.

Woah, this place was Huge! He thought as he walked up the front steps. He looked at Magnus's text again, double checking the address, Magnus had just put that he was on the top floor, but he didn't see any apartment number, he'd just put to come up. Maybe he'd meet him at the elevator?

Simon got in the elevator and hit the button for the top floor, wondering if he should text or something and let Magnus know that he was here. He really didn't want to go to some random stranger's apartment; maybe when he gets to the top floor, if he doesn't see Magnus, he'll just Text then and double check.

The doors ding and open into a somewhat small, alcove type area, there only seems to be one other door. Simon looks again at the text, but, yes, Magnus did say the top floor; this must be it. He really hopes it is, cause if it isn't he really doesn't think he wants to bother whoever else might live here. He approaches the door, cautiously, and hesitantly, knocks on the door, ready to bolt back to the elevator if necessary. It is quiet for a minute; he considers knocking again, but thinks better of it and begins back to the elevator, set on calling Magnus to recheck the address when he hears someone opening the door.
