Baz-

Finally, Simon Snow is kissing me. But bloody hell, he's not just kissing me he's full on attacking my mouth. I wonder how long he's wanted this. 

He parts his lips from mine for a second, his hot breath fans across my freshly kissed lips. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My cheeks are flushed and my lips are rosy. All of my blood must be in my face. I feel awake and for the first time in years- alive.

Penelope- 

This is not good. I have to go find someone. I run from the tower, thoughts of Simon rushing through my head. He said he was on a mission for the Mage. Most likely he's alone, totally unaware that Humdrum is hunting for him. How the bloody hell did the Humdrum get into Watford in the first place?!

The Mage probably isn't in his study but I have to check anyways. He always has a way of keeping touch with Simon on his missions. 

I run across the commons, my black, wedged buckle shoes squish into the grass. Students stare after me. I see Baz's group to my left, he's not with them. Oh god, I run even faster, if Baz isn't with them that means trouble. 

I burst into the Mage's office. He's here to my surprise, pacing back and forth in front of his desk. I think if he would've been sitting I would've had a heart attack. He glances up at me but doesn't stop pacing, he just slows down, like he's preparing to brake.

"Sir," I start, slightly out of breath, "Simon, he said he was on a mission for you-" at this the Mage's brow creases, "-he's in terrible danger Sir," I gasp for air, "the Humdrum has been inside Watford!"

"Simon's not on a mission for me," the Mage says and my stomach drops to the floor.

Simon-

I can't believe I just kissed Baz! A voice inside me whispers, 'I can't believe it took you that long to kiss Baz'. Bloody hell, what's happening to me! I open my eyes and look up at his. He's taller than me sitting on the counter top. His are open, looking down at me. 

His normally bored, grey eyes are shining and bright. I never thought grey could be so bright. He smirks at me. I'm a bomb, ready to explode with energy. 

"Simon?" His voice is low and coarse. I smile, he said my name. Baz brings his hand to my cheek, I turn my head and kiss it. I can't keep myself off of him, he's addicting. 

"Simon? What just happened?" He's breathless, I keep peppering his hand in kisses. He closes his eyes and scrunches his brow, like he's trying to concentrate. 

I step back from him, letting his hand fall, "You called me Simon." I smile.

He slowly opens his eyes then promptly rolls them. "I did not."

This only makes me smile more. After years the git won't even admit to it, "Yes, yes you did."

Baz sighs and hops off the counter top, "Would you wipe that smug smile off your face?"He walks around me to the door and looks back at me, "C'mmon Snow, we've got to get you changed." I look down at my shirt and see he's right. I'm drenched in his blood. 

Baz-

I really need to drink. My head is starting to pound and my vision is fuzzy. I think it's partially Snow's bloody fault. I lead him through the trashed room, across the hall to my bedroom. His jaw drops as he looks around my room.

I just head to my closet and open the door. Simon steps up behind me and laughs. I turn to him and give him a questioning look. 

"I was expecting more black suits and dress shirts not jeans and t-shirts, " he laughs.

Most of my closet is filled with rather dark formal clothes. "Blimey Snow! Call the royal guard! The queen must be alerted immediately that I own a pair of jeans!" I mock.

His smile drops and an all too familiar glare makes its way to his face, "You can't hold it back for more than five seconds can you? Even after you snogged me?"

I turn back to the closet, "I don't know what you're talking about Snow. And I didn't snog you." I smile, "You snogged me."
