Isabelle blinked open her eyes with a sharp intake of breath, her heart bounding in her chest. As her eyes started to focus on the darken room, she tried to calm her breathing down. In her dream, she had been falling down and down with no one to catch her. It was amazing how she had spent years trying to make everyone see her as independent, where all she actually wanted was to know there was someone there to catch her when she fell.

Yet you finally found someone you can depend on to catch you, but you don't believe that. You won't allow yourself to believe that. She told herself harshly, and flinched as she realized just how true her words were.

Beside her, she could feel her boyfriend, Simon Lewis, stir. She rolled over, meeting his beautiful calm eyes and felt relaxed all over. Simon had a strange effect on her, one that at first she had disliked strongly, but now it was something which reassured her. Simon had always been able to break down her barriers, see behind the walls she put up around her true self. He loved her for who she was inside, and he was probably the only person knew who she truly was, apart from her two brothers.

Simon rubbed his eyes and looked down at her, a small smile forming on his lips. "As much as sleeping is a still a shock to me, waking up beside you is more of a surprise." He whispered.

Isabelle couldn't stop the smile that was threatening on her own lips. Simon always knew the right things to say that made her feel like a fourteen year old girl talking to her first crush. Perhaps Simon was her first crush. Of course, she had spotted boys in the past that she liked the look of, but she had fallen for Simon on his personality not just his appearance.

"You're so cute." She mumbled back, moving so she was resting her head against his strong chest. Six months of Shadowhunter training had changed Simon. Now instead of a flat stomach, he had muscles and abs which were beautifully sculpted. He no longer had skinny arms and legs, but had developed muscles along them. Cute had been a good way to describe the old Simon before the training had started. Now, Isabelle could think of a lot more adventurous words to describe her boyfriend, words that made her purr and bite her lip at times.

He arched one of his eyebrows questionably. "Cute?"

Isabelle leaned up to kiss him softly on the lips, smiling against him. "Yes, cute." She teased, resting her head on his shoulder and tracing random patterns on the bare skin of his beautiful chest. "I wish we didn't have to get up and train. I could think of so many other ways I would like to spend today."

"Shopping in the town and grabbing a milkshake from Benny's?" Simon guessed, referring to one of Isabelle's favourite ways to enjoy a hot sunny day. But today was surprisingly cloudy, and Isabelle didn't fancy going outside in the cold.

She purred lightly. "No, I was thinking of things that didn't involve leaving the bed. We could have a bit of fun…" She trailed off, leaving him to work out the rest of the sentence. Simon was smart, and caught on instantly.

He moved so he was hovering over her, keeping his weight off her by supporting himself with his arms, his hands placed on each side of her face. "I would like that very much." He told her, leaning down to place a kiss on the end of her nose.

Isabelle moved her hands up his stomach to his chest then around his neck, holding him over her. "You have a training session with Jace in twenty minutes." She reminded him, feeling a little annoyed that her brother was constantly planning morning sessions at ridiculous times. Even demons probably had better sense than to attack before nine in the morning.

Simon rolled his eyes. "Well, we could just tell Jace than I have fallen poorly, and you are looking after me for the whole day, you and only you."

"Jace would see straight through us in a heartbeat. You might as well go." Isabelle shoved him lightly so he fell to her side. "What does he make you do anyway?"

"If I say jump through fiery hoops, does that make me sound brave or just make you think of me as a helpless lion?" Simon asked, and Isabelle gave a small smile, though she did find the thought of Simon wearing a mane and jumping through a hoop of flames while Jace sat watching, eating a sandwich, very amusing indeed.

Simon shook his head. "No, most of the time I have to balance on one of the cross beams while he throws balls at me to knock me off. He finds it very boring. How's training with Clary?"

Isabelle shrugged. "Most of the time we sit on the floor gossiping about our boyfriends."

"Should I be worried?" Simon nudged her.

"It's all good things." She reassured him.

"I always thought you two were battling with swords. Now that's a hot imagine." Simon said, but she knew he was only teasing her.

Isabelle punched him playfully on the arm and got up. She was wearing one of Simon's shirts with a print over the front. It only managed to reach down to the tops of her thighs, covering everything important but still showing a very generous about of leg. Isabelle slowly walked over to her dresser, knowing that Simon was watching her every move. After all, he was a male.

Grabbing her training gear, she retreated into her small bathroom which she had forced her parents to get built for her when she had first moved into this room. She got changed slowly, admiring herself in the mirror and then brushing her long black hair with countless strokes of the brush until it was straight and knot-free.

By the time she left her bathroom dressed in her gear, Simon was also changed into a pair of skinny black jeans and a skin tight black shirt. Isabelle smiled as she watched him do up the belt of his jeans.

Slowly, she walked up behind him, managing to creep up to him without being noticed, and wrapped her arms around his stomach tightly, reaching up on tiptoes so she was able to nibble on his ear.

"You look hot." Isabelle whispered to him.

He smiled, one corner of his mouth lifting before the other. It was her smile. The smile she loved. "Now, that's a much better word that cute, wouldn't you agree?"

I honestly love this pairing so much! Writing about them is so much fun, but I don't exactly know how this story is going to go, so any feed back will be greatly appreciated as I haven't done this Fanfiction kinda thing for a long time, but hopefully my work has improved since then.

Thank you for reading, please leave a review for me, any supporting praise or ways to improve would be lovely!

Have a nice day:*
