Finally Saing It

The day had finally come when I, Jace Walland, was going to declare to my best friend, Simon Lewis. Since Simon came into our lives nothing is as it was before. I always had my girlfriends and my boyfriends, but it was never anything serious.

I have never had a person in my love life stop me from doing everything and think, yes, this or this is so. This is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with and even build a family with, who knows. It was then that I saw him coming in the door of the institute accompanied by our new shadowhunter "recruit" Clarissa Frairchild, or as we call her Clary.

Poor guy, he entered our world of disruption, knew nothing about us nor had the notion that this our world existed but gladly he did so now I consider him one of my best friends. I really like your company, even if it's about fictional science or superhero movies. I don't care so I have one more excuse to stand by you.

No one knows about this but I have been developing very specific feelings for him for a while and since then I have not had any kind of love dates or relationships anymore. This has been going on for two years. Two years that I know him, two years when we are best friends, two years that I develop these feelings but afraid of what he might say or think of me, I never expressed them in front of anyone.

But enough! I was sick of waiting longer for what I don't know, and I decided it had to be me moving things on, or I would never get out of this snowball again. And to whom can I ask advice than from my "brother" Alec. He has a stable relationship with the wizard Magnus Bane and they are happier than ever. They even think about getting married and everything!

I went to Alec's room and he was inside with a box in his hand but I couldn't see what was inside but I have my suspicions.

- Alec I wanted to talk to you - I said and he turned to me showing the ring that was inside the box. - Is that what I think it is?

- Yes, I'll propose to Magnus.

- Alec I'm so glad for you, you know what I can help, just ask.

"I know bro, but now that you need me?" You said you wanted to talk, 'said Alec sitting on the edge of the bed and I sat beside him trying to gain the courage to speak.

- It's about Simon. Maybe I'm feeling something for him and I don't know how to tell him.

- Perhaps? Come on Jace, I know you know it's more than anything! You've never been so caught up with someone like him.

"Maybe... but how do you know?" I asked, surprised and curious.

- Come on, I know you Jace. We are parabatai since new. There is no one who knows you better than me and I can say with almost certainty that I know you better than yourself and I know there is something about Simon that drives you crazy.

- And what do I do? What do you think is the best way to tell you how I feel? I never did these things!

"Why don't you invite him out to dinner?" A romantic dinner and after food you can tell him what you feel and if you run as I hope, tomorrow will be more than friends.

I took my brother Alec's advice and started planning a fantastic night with Simon. First of all, if I want to have dinner with him, I have to choose a restaurant but which one? We can go to Taki's but I don't know if they still accept reservations.

I called Maia and told her I wanted to make a dinner for Simon and she reserved a table for us in a separate room. Normally this room is reserved for important events but tonight was reserved for me and Simon.

After the treated restaurant, I went to buy chocolates to offer to Simon and in the end I had to prepare my speech with what I was going to say. She had everything prepared but the most important, which was to invite Simon to dinner.

"Simon, I know it's late, but do you want to come have dinner with me at Taki's?" Both Izzie and Alec are busy and did not want to be alone in the institute.- told the cellphone when he answered.

"Of course, but what time?"

- Can it be in half an hour? I pass by your house and so let's go together!

Finally I had everything ready and only the clothes I had to wear were missing. I tried without exaggeration about four sets of clothes and finally decided for the second that it was a simple white shirt and black jeans.

It was missing, like minutes, and it only took five minutes to get to his house so I think I had to get dressed. I got dressed, put on perfume and left the institute. I reached Simon's apartment and knocked on the door.

"Shall we go?" Simon said as he opened the door and we went to the restaurant.

We arrived at the restaurant and were accompanied by Maia to the special room. We were completely alone, there was only one table all made up with some lighted candles and darker lighting, because it was to create a more romantic setting.

- We came to the special room? What is the occasion?

"Must there be any special occasions?" I just want a quiet dinner with my best friend.

We were already having dinner and it was time for me to finally declare myself to my best friend and was quite nervous because I didn't know what his reaction would be.

- Jace knows you can tell me anything you want.

- How do you know I have something to say?

- You get that face whenever you want to say something to me but you're afraid. I know you very well!

- That's why I love you! - I exclaimed softly but by his face, he had heard everything.- I mean, ah .... Well you know ...... Ah .... How hei- to say this ....

- Jace, calm down. And I love you too.
