Simon's POV

I don't know what the fuck to do now. Should I attend classes? Should I skip again? What does the Mage want me to do? It's making me sick. Everything is, every decision to make.

No, Baz won't let me skip. . . I guess that eases some of my discomfort. Only because it's one less decision to make.

But he just fell asleep. He needs to sleep, so maybe we can skip a few classes. . Oh, it's Saturday. We don't have any classes. Baz has football practice though.

I feel a little useless knowing that I have nothing to do better than lie around all day. (Especially since Baz has a lot to do. Football, violin, homework.) Usually the Mage would send me on missions but now. . . I mean, he isn't even speaking to me. He hates me. Or at least he's leading me to believe that.

Baz nuzzles into my neck, burying his head in the crook. I slip my fingers through his hair on instinct.

So much has changed for us, I smile to myself.

I hold him closer.

I feel like I've lost. Lost everything. My stomach drops at the thought.

I lost the Mage. A mentor, a caretaker, a. . . The closest thing I had to family. It was a strange pain. One that crept through, seeping into my bones. It thrummed a chord of finality. Echoing an ending. I lost the closest thing I had to family.

No, Simon.

Baz is family. He's the one I love, the one who loves me the most. Penny is family, she adores me. Takes care of me. Agatha is family, despite all our drama—if she ever needs me, I'll come through. I have all the family I need.

I have Baz. He'll do anything for me. He truly loves me unconditionally. Even when I spent all my time glaring at him, he loved me. Even when I used my fists only to punch him, he loved me. Even when we were nothing. . . He loved me.

I'm so lucky to have this one in my arms. He's special. He's full of fire, love, and talent. He's honestly an incredible magician. And amazing at everything he tries. Including being the best boyfriend ever.

He's so gorgeous, too. His sharp jaw twitches as he twists in my arms, pressing his porcelain back into my chest. It feels. . . Magickal to be like this with him. So peaceful and quiet. Despite all the chaos wreaking in our lives right now.

Well at least now we don't have to remain a secret. We're trying to make this forbidden love work. . . But then there's also his family. Who absolutely despise me. Sweet, I whistle lowly. It's an accident that nearly wakens Baz.

I'll make it out. We'll make it out. 'Cuz we have each other.

He's enough. He's enough.
