A/N: I didn't put the rapping part into the story, because, for the life of me, I can't picture Simon rapping, it just cracks me up😂. So just listen to the song and imagine that the rapping part never happened. Or imagine it did. Your choice. But I didn't include that part in the lyrics. That's all, enjoy :)x

--------------------------------------

The bar was dimly lit and there were far too many people in it for Jace's liking. He fidgeted with his phone, Isabelle watching him with boredom. 

"At least pretend like you want to be here." she finally said, letting out an annoyed breath. Jace didn't listen. He was too busy thinking about the fight he and Simon had last night.

"Look, I get that you're still insecure about us, but none of our friends would really care if we'd be together! I mean, Alec's gay, for god's sake!" Simon yelled. Jace paced around the room. "I don't get why you're doing this now." he tried saying calmly. He failed. 

Simon scoffed at the tone of his voice and looked at him, like he saw him for the first time. "We've been sneaking around for months, I am so done being your secret." he spat. Jace winced at this. Simon had always been sweet, shy and a funny dork. Right now, he was anything but. He looked a lot more like the vampire he was. The only thing missing were the fangs and Jace was sure, that if he pissed him off any more, those would come out in no time.

He went a bit closer to Simon, who didn't move but also didn't look at him, his eyes averted to the ceiling. Jace reached for his hand and it didn't surprise him that it was ice cold. Barely anything surprised him about Simon anymore. 

"I'm just scared." he said softly. When Simon opened his mouth in anger, Jace cut in "Not about what you think. I am not scared about their reaction. I mean, like you said, Alec came out and we were all more than fine about it. Well, Isabelle might kill me. And Clary." Simon's mouth twitched and Jace knew he was close to seeing him smile again.

"I'm scared that when we...make this official, than maybe you will see me in a different light. I'm scared that I might change, and not in a good way. That maybe, you won't want me anymore, or get bored of me or..." Jace's voice was cut off when Simon's lips touched his and immediately he responded.

Jace cursed his body for giving into Simon so easily. But then again, he wouldn't have it any other way. Simon pulled back, but only briefly, to say "That is not and will never be my intention." and he crashed their lips together again. Just a few seconds later, Jace was willing to do anything, for Simon to never stop.

"Hey, guys!" Alec said, when he sat down next to Jace. Magnus, glittery and fabulous as always, took the seat next to Alec and Izzy. "Well, finally, we get to see Sherman in action." Magnus said, gazing over the crowd.

Izzy gave a snort and said "I mean, I've been to plenty of his shows. I don't know where you guys have been." Alec rolled his eyes. "We have a life, you know." he said. "Wow, sarcastic Alec is back again. And for the record, you don't have a life, you have Magnus." Jace retorted. Magnus gave him a smirk and kissed Alec's cheek. Jace rolled his eyes. "And you? Why haven't you been?" Isabelle asked. 

Jace's mind went a hundred miles a minute, trying to come up with something the old him would say. The old Jace who was supposed to hate Simon. Luckily, he was spared, because suddenly, Clary was there. "I'm sorry I'm late, Maia wanted to have dinner at the Jade Wolf." she said, slightly out of breath. She sat next to Jace and smiled at them. 

Someone tapped the microphone and Jace tensed a bit, hearing his favorite voice float around the room.

"Hey, nerds. It's me, Simon Lewis, again. I have a song for someone special in the crowd tonight, so here goes." Simon said. He was on the stage, alone this time, without his usual bandmates. He had the synthesizer in front of him and other things that Jace had no name for. Simon wasn't wearing his glasses anymore and his brown hair were styled in a perfect way. He wore black ripped jeans and a black T-shirt with words 'Panic! at the disco' on it in white print.

He looked hot. Jace tried not to stare and when he looked at Alec and Magnus, the latter stared right back and gave him a wink. That bastard. He always knew what was up. Jace shifted in his chair uncomfortably.

Simon started to play the music, tapping the machines and the keys, doing multiple things at once. Then he began to sing.

Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer
Shower you with all my attention
Yeah, these are my only intentions

"Wow, he's good." Magnus said. Alec nodded and he seemed impressed. Jace was in awe. Simon's voice flowed through him, making him feel warm and the words he spoke went straight to his heart.

Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread
Heart full of equity, you're an asset
Make sure that you don't need no mentions
Yeah, these are my only intentions

Clary was smiling wide and Isabelle whispered "Damn, Simon has gotten way more hotter somehow. Or is that just the musician vibe." Jace glared at the girls and then at the crowd. They were moving to the beat and a lot of girls at the front of the stage were making eyes at Simon. Jace found himself getting jealous.

Shout out to your mom and dad for making you
Standing ovation, they did a great job raising you
When I create, you're my muse
The kind of smile that makes the newsCan't nobody throw shade on your name in these streets
Triple threat, you a boss, you a bank, you a beast
You make it easy to choose
You got a mean touch I can't refuse 

Simon moved to the beat, his eyes closed. When he sang the chorus again, he opened his eyes and looked straight at Jace, his eyes burning into him and Jace felt his face heat up. 

Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer
Shower you with all my attention
Yeah, these are my only intentions

Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread
Heart full of equity, you're an asset
Make sure that you don't need no mentions
Yeah, these are my only intentions

Magnus was staring from Simon to Jace and Jace did the one thing he shouldn't have done. He hid his face into his hands and Magnus' smile grew wide. He bumped Alec and whispered something to him. Alec's head turned to Jace so fast he almost cracked his neck. Jace peeked out from his hands and saw Alec's sly grin. Great.

Already passed, you don't need no approval
Good everywhere, don't worry 'bout no refusal
Second to none, you got the upper hand now
Don't need a sponsor, no, you're the brand now

Simon threw his hair, that had grown a bit longer, to the side. He smirked cockily at Jace, who glared at him, trying to think absolutely platonic thoughts about Simon. It didn't work.

You're my rock, my Colorado
Got that ring, just like Toronto
Love you now, a little more tomorrow
That's how I feel
Act like you know that you are

Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer
Shower you with all my attention
Yeah, these are my only intentions
Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread Heart full of equity, you're an asset
Make sure that you don't need no mentions
Yeah, these are my only intentions 

Simon smiled to the girls at the front row and Jace could've sworn one of them was about to faint. Not that Jace didn't feel the same way. He was practically out of breath. Was this Simon's way of telling him he wanted to be with him? In front of his friends? Jace's throat grew dry and he felt like he might not survive if Simon didn't come down right now and kiss him.

Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter 
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer 
Shower you with all my attention 
Yeah, these are my only intentions Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread 
Heart full of equity, you're an asset 
Make sure that you don't need no mentions 
Yeah, these are my only intentions 
That's all I plan to do, ooh

When the song ended, the crowd erupted into cheers and claps. Magnus waved his hand dramatically, like he needed air and said "If I wasn't in love with Alec, I'd totally date Simon." Alec didn't seem too pleased at this, but Magnus laughed and kissed his cheek. Alec went red. Isabelle and Clary cheered along with the crowd and Isabelle shouted "That was amazing! I wonder who he sang to?" Clary shrugged her shoulders. "Beats me, he never tells me anything anymore." she said with a tinge of sadness in her voice.

Magnus smiled wickedly and Jace knew he was screwed. "I have an idea..." Magnus stated loudly, making the girls turn to him in enthusiasm. Just then, Simon reached their table, smiling in the most handsome way possible. They all stood up and just as Jace was about to say something (along the lines of 'great show' and 'hey, look at that, you don't suck!'), Simon strode past all his friends and crashed his lips to Jace's.

Jace was so surprised he didn't even register what was happening. Simon's hand went to the back of his neck as he deepened the kiss, making Jace part his lips and letting Simon glide his tongue in. His own hands flew to Simon's back and he pressed closer to him. After what seemed like ages, Clary coughed. Simon pulled away, with a smirk on his face and Jace was still dazed. 

Isabelle looked like she'd seen a ghost, Clary's face was a mixture of surprise and anger. Alec seemed not to know if he was happy or angry about this. And Magnus, of course, was smiling from ear to ear, with a knowing look on his face and eyebrows raised. 

"Did you like my song? I think it pretty much summed up what I wanted to say to you." Simon asked, looking at Jace with an amused expression. Jace felt like he could die. From embarrassment but also from the hot gaze Simon was giving him. He hadn't decided yet.

"What-How, Simon, why didn't you tell me about this!?" Clary practically yelled. Isabelle shook her head and said "How long has this been going on?" Jace coughed loudly, trying to sound normal. "I-uh. A few months?" he said, his voice hesitant. Isabelle's eyes widened in anger and Clary started to say something but Magnus interrupted them. "Well, I called it a long time ago. Besides, how could you not tell? He was practically undressing Jace from the stage."

Jace felt his face go red again and he groaned in frustration but Simon, the devil, just smiled and winked at him. "I can't believe it. I mean, I thought you two didn't like each other." Alec said with disbelief.

Jace looked at him and finally got his voice back "I never said that." They all laughed and Simon took his hand, pulling him with. "Where are we going?" he asked, when Simon dragged him along. Magnus was looking at them go, laughing at Alec who had a distressed expression, but Isabelle smiled at them softly, while Clary was still glaring at them in disbelief.

Simon took him outside, out into the alley and pushed him against the wall. Jace's breath hitched when Simon kissed his neck and bit down on a rune. "You didn't answer my question." Simon said against his skin. His breath was warm against Jace's neck and he was biting down on it, making it hard for Jace to make up words coherently. "I- What?" he managed to say, out of breath. 

Simon's hands went under his shirt, grazing over his abs and he smiled at Jace. "Did you understand what I was trying to say with the song?" Simon asked, his face impossibly close to Jace's. Jace looked down at Simon's lips and bit his own. "Yes, yes I did." he managed to stammer. He cursed himself. How was Simon able to make him fall apart so easily? Simon smirked at this. 

"Perfect. Because I have only good intentions with you, Jace Herondale." Simon replied and kissed Jace like he needed him to breathe, and the shadowhunter kissed back with a fiery passion. Jace let himself get lost in Simon Lewis, knowing he won't regret it.
