That Guy Should be Me

SIMON POV:

Once again, I saw them leaving the institute, they should go to lunch. They have lunch together, two days a week, as Gabriel's professional life doesn't allow it to happen more often. Who is Gabriel, they ask? Well, Gabriel is Jace's new boyfriend!

What can I say about him? He seems to be a very respectful and friendly person, in fact I have nothing against him, as he never did anything wrong to me. But I don't like him at all!

I should be the one who would take him to lunch almost every day, not him! But as I did with him, the same as I did with Clary: I waited too long to tell him how I felt and now I'm in the friend zone. Clary always told me that I should admit what I felt, but I know he is happy with his boyfriend.

POV JACE:

I've been dating a fantastic person for almost two months. He is called Gabriel and is a doctor. He is an old Shadowhunter who has had enough of the dangers of our missions and now protects the mundanes in another way.

Gabriel has always dedicated his life and energy to work but now he is looking for love and who knows if I can be that person ?! I like him a lot and I'm happy.

"Jace, darling, are we going to lunch?" Gabriel asked when he arrived at the institute, told the people he was going to have lunch and that he was coming.

Lunch, as always, went well. All the time I spend with Gabriel is always well spent and I like him more each day. But there is something, that I don't know what it is, that won't let me give myself 100% to him and this relationship.

I arrived at the institute and Simon was still there, I thought he went to lunch with Clary.

- Glad you arrived Jace, we were waiting for you for a new mission. It may be nothing, but from the data it appears to be a vampiric attack. Simon is going with you!

We used the portal to get to the place where the vampire attack had been reported and there were actually signs of fighting and drops of blood on the street. This mission was going to be more difficult than was apparent and everything would be dirty that we had to keep an eye on this street for the night.

Although complicated, when the sun went down, Simon and I managed to neutralize the threat and take him to our prisons. But in the time we spent together, I noticed that Simon was weird with me, almost as if he were avoiding me!

"Is everything okay, Si?" I asked, putting my weapons down in the armament room.

- Yes, I'm just tired! I'm going home, see you tomorrow!

- If you think a little, you understand what is happening to him! It is obvious that he is in love with you and you are with someone else. Brother, you broke his heart!

Wait? What? Simon is in love with me? Well, thinking about it now, the signs are even evident, but how come I never thought about it before? Do I love him too? Wait, Jace Wayland, why the hell are you thinking about him when you have a boyfriend, what do you love?

The truth is that in the past I had a significant crush on Simon, but I always thought he was in love with Clary. Now that I am with Gabriel, do I find out that he has always liked me all this time?

I had to clarify this matter and it was no more than today. I went to my room and changed my clothes and went to the apartment where Simon lived. I rang the bell and he came to open the door without knowing it was me.

SIMON POV:

I couldn't be on the edge of Jace, knowing that he's happy with someone else. I know it can be a little selfish on my part not to want to see him with another, because I know he deserves to be happy next to a man who loves him, but that should be me!

After the mission, I said goodbye to the staff and came to my apartment. Forty-five minutes later, someone was ringing my doorbell, and when I opened the door, I saw it was him.

- What are you doing here? Do you need my help on a mission?

- No, I needed to ask you something. Can I come in? - After he asked this, I opened the door wide and let him in.

- Tell me what you need to know then!

- What's wrong with you, Si? You've been weird with me for a long time ... It seems like you don't want to be with me anymore, does my presence bother you?

- It's not like that ... It's just ...

- Tell me the truth please, I deserve to know the truth.

- Is that really the truth you want? So very well! The truth is, I don't like your new boyfriend at all. I already know that you are going to tell me how can I not like him if I never had a serious conversation with him, because the answer is that I just don't like it! I should take you out to lunch, not him! I should put my hand on your waist, take your hand, hug you when you need to calm down, I should kiss your lips and be considered yours, not him! The truth is that I love you and I was always afraid to admit it and now you're happy with someone else, because I was stupid and didn't say anything before. You should be with me, not with him! That is the truth and that is what is happening to me!

- Si ...

- Now that you know the truth, let me rest please ... I need to be alone and you need to go to your boyfriend's side! Wait, one more thing, I hope you're very happy with him Jace, honestly you deserve someone to make you happy.
