Simon and Baz

Back at Watford

Simon and I walk into our old room, a layer of dust has settled over every surface. All the furniture is original, I can still see the dents and cracks in some of the wood surfaces from Snow throwing his tantrums.
As we walk through the door, Penelope follows close behind.
"Ah, supone no one had time to keep this place clean, well then. CLEAN AS A WHISTLE, there that does it" she says as she flicks her new wand.
As soon as we came back home I insisted she put her purple stone into some kind of magical object, less she lose it entirely.
Snow and I can't have that, relying solely on me for magic, impossible. We need Penelope quite too much.
"Cheers Penny" says Simon as he drops the luggage on his bed. It clumps down with a creak as he turns around, his tail whipping up behind him.
We both hug her goodbye and saying goodnight before closing the door.
How I've missed this room, it was terrible spending my last nights here without Snow. Being in this room without him just before graduation left me empty.
I look over at him, it's the first time he's laid foot in this room in years.
Crowley, he hasn't even been to Watford since he surprised me at the dance.
                               SIMON
Baz has already had someone to change the bedding even after Penny's spell. I don't like it here anymore. It's too painful, being here without magic. I stretch my wings and walk into the bathroom to wash my face.
As I look into the mirror I see myself. Plain, a Normal with misshapen wings and a tail. Unlovable, I think, how could Baz love me still? If I'm being honest with myself I almost think he maybe never did, it's just the power, the power I gave away.
Somehow it felt different in America, like things were changing for the better. Like maybe he did still really love me even though I was a mess. Now as I stare at my reflection I realize something. Just as I was attracted to Baz using his power both magically and physically to fight the vampires. Maybe he was only warming up to me again because he found hope. He saw me fighting and flying thinking just maybe I was still the fearless chosen one.
Now we're back here and I'm crying in the our old bathroom. I've cried in here a few times, over the years but never because of Baz, well, not like this. Especially not with him in the room.
                                 BAZ
He's hiding in the bathroom. He's hiding from me I know it. Ashamed, still mad because I got too close to Lamb. Put too much trust into him that I almost cost all of us our lives. But still, Snow must not bee to mad, I offered that he stay with Penny but he insisted he stay here, in our dorm. First I thought it was to be with me, in a way we've never been in this room, although I imagined it enough times. I walk to the bathroom door and knock.
"Snow, or ah Simon, are you alright?"
                                 SIMON
Can he hear me? Oh gosh I hope he didn't hear me cry, the water was on and I was covering my mouth. Stupid vampire hearing.
I try not to choke as I say "Yes, everything's good."
I turn of the faucet and open the door, I look at the floor as I try to quickly vacate the room before he sees my puffy eyes. I walk out the bathroom door too quick and clip him with my wing, thankfully not the one that's still healing. It spins me around and he steps on my tail, yanking me to the floor falling on top of him.
                                        BAZ
Snow open the door and jams the top of his right wing straight into my shoulder, I staged and step on something, must be Snow because he cries out. I fall to the ground hard as he comes straight down on top of me. We both lay there for a second, my shoulder and back of my head throbbing.
"Are you ok?" I ask
"Yes, as long as my tail didn't break I'll be ok" Simon sputters our as he breaths slowly.
"You?" He asks.
I shift beneath him and say "All good, sorry about that, but I don't think dragon tails break
in a way a bone would."
Snow looks over and turns his head as I start laughing.
He soon follows, with shorts laughs and asks
"What's so funny Baz?"
I shake my head and gasp
" All of it Snow, everything about our lives is just a comedy show... I mean really," I lay my head on the floor as he rolls off me, "I can't believe our lives.
"We goes years fighting and hating each other just to find out we're madly in love at the end of our last year, when sleeping in the same room could actually have some advantages.
"Then all seems well, we won and get to be together but not fully because I'm still doubting that you even hold feelings for me.
"We run off to America and I'm now even more confused about what you want." I pause to shake my head and sit up, I look into his eyes and ask something that should've been asked long ago
"What do you want Simon?"
                                    SIMON
I don't know what I want. Madly in love, did he says we're madly in love?
"Well I don't know, do you have feelings for me?"
He looks at me dumbfounded. His eyes go soft and his hand comes up to touch my cheek.
"Feelings for you? Do I Basil Grimm-Pitch have feelings for you Simon Snow? You should never have to ask me that."
Then he's kissing me, pushing my head into the side of the bed I was using as a back rest.
"I'll always love you Simon, wings, tail, moles and all, you're my constant, my always, my future, it's always been you."
