Who am I - Who are we?

Tourist

After a lunch break they got on the Staten Island ferry to get a better look over Manhattan. Clary loved her Tourist day so far. Living in New York is amazing but you don't really stop to appreciate the local spots that everyone around the world is crazy about. So far they have been running around Manhattan and Central Park, stopping at the strawberry field listening to an awesome street musician. Simone being Simone pitched singing Yellow Submarine from all of his heart.

Some places are unfortunately super crowded and that was especially true about the Staten Island Ferry. Maybe because it's a free way to see the amazing Manhattan Skyline but maybe because it's a sunny Friday afternoon and there after just a ton of tourist out today. Clary and Simon still had the best time. They were taking a lot of selfies, goofed around and laughed a lot about the actual tourists. Getting of the ferry Simon locked is hands with Clary's. It's not unusual that they would walk hand in hand but this time Clary realized that his thumb brushed over the top of her hand from time to time. It was a nice feeling and walking down Bank street she leaned in more to tell him she was enjoying this new connection.
Simon suddenly stoped and turned to face Clary.

"There is one more birthday present for you", he said nervously.
"What is it?"
Instead of an answer Simon took Clary's other hand and moved closer to her.
"I honestly don't want to ruin this friendship but I..." "I know - me too, I think" Clary answered shyly smiling at him.
Feeling a flush of courage Simon pressed his lips at Clary's. It was weird in the beginning, like kissing his own sister but after closing his eyes this feeling passed and his stomach was turning upside down. He was actually kissing Clary. Moving in even closer he put his hands on her waist and slightly parted his lips to slip his tongue in her mouth.
Clary pulled Simone closer to her by grabbing his hair. It felt strange and familiar at the same time. He tasted like fruit gum and Simon. There is no other way to describe it. Clary's stomach twisted and her nerves sent little shockwaves through her body making her knees week. They pulled away from each other after what felt like hours, looked at each other breathless and just started laughing.

"That was actually not to bad Fray", Simon smiled putting his arm around her shoulder. "Not to bad?" Clary answered, "I could swear you were moaning the whole time we were kissing." Turning red he pulled her back to the entrance of the ferry. "Oh we are leaving already? We have never been over here before, we should explore it a little" Clary sounded sad that Simon wanted to leave already.
"Yes I just wanted us to have a special new place for our... ahm ...for the you know..." "The kiss" she smiled.
"Yes. I just didn't want to ruin a place we already have - just in case you would reject me completely" he whispered blushing and looking over the skyline of Manhattan still holding on to Clary's hand.
