"Vampire," an arrogant and familiar sounding voice said banging on the door to his room, "it's wakey time. Get up or we're coming in."
Simon rolled his eyes in his sleep and groaned. "Just because I can walk in the sun now doesn't mean I want to be in it." He paused. "Come back later when- DID YOU JUST BREAK MY DOOR DOWN?!"
Dust swirled in the room, which was filled by Jace, Isabelle, and Alec Lightwood. All the shadow hunters were in gear and had marks for strength, angelic power, speed, and other boosts covering them. Jace sat on the bed brush bits of wood off of his fists, looking incredibly pleased with himself and everyone else was looking at Simon expectantly, while he could barely control his anger at all four of them.
"This is your room Simon?" Alec said wondrously, "Do you even own anything?"
"Alec?" Jace said, smirking.
"Yes?"
"Shut up," He said, "Now Lewis, I bet you are wondering why we, of all people, are at the door of your room, gracing you with our angelic beauty."
Simon snarled and he felt his fangs coming out, piercing his lips. "Yes, yes I am wondering why you all thought it would be a great idea to break my door down. Clary's not here is she? Which begs the question, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?"
Isabelle stared at him looking hurt. "You aren't even a teensy bit happy to us?"
"You?" Simon snorted. "I'd be happier to see Sebastian driving a dagger into my throat. Now all of you. Leave."
Isabelle immediately walked out the room, muttering about how Clary's ideas were never wise, while Jace and Alec smiled as if sharing a private joke. Simon hadn't meant to snap at Izzy, but he really was not in the mood for them today. He was tired, blood deprived, and he didn't feel like being antagonized by cocky shadowhunters. He sat down and looked at them both, who were still smirking, and waited for an answer.
"We'll fix your door, we already told Jordan you were spending the day with the me, which you can blame Clary for, for a little male bonding time." Jace said, still grinning.
Simon looked at him blankly. "Then where's' Magnus?" He silently noted how Alec's face went pale when he said Magnus's name.
"I don't think Magnus qualifies as a male with all the sparkles and make up he wears."
"What is wrong with Clary? Did Sebastian make her drink from the Infernal Cup and it made her crazy?"
Alec looked up at that. "What happened with Sebastian?"
Simon grinned. "Just thinking out loud about reasons of why Clary would think I would willingly spend my day with you."
Alec shook his head sullenly and made his way through the door way. "I'm going to go with Izzy. Have fun you guys."
Simon and Jace sat in an awkward silence, him looking around uncomfortably and Jace staring at him intensely as if he expected something. Simon knew what Clary was doing and why she was doing it. It was no secret that he and Jace did not usually get along and most of their time spent in each other's presence resulted in Simon becoming angry and exasperated and Jace making clever insults that always got under his skin, so Clary was trying to make them get along and become close as friends. Pity it probably wouldn't work, but if Clary wanted him to he supposed he could try. He broke the silence.
"So what's wrong with them?" He asked Jace.
Jace rolled his eyes dramatically. "Izzy's mad because she wanted to spend the day with you and probably corrupt your nerdy virtue, Alec's mad because he wanted to hang out with me and get his mind of things," he twirled a dagger in his hands, "and him and Magnus are still not on good terms, so that just adds on to it. They just made sure I didn't skewer you or Jordan."
"Well where's Clary? I thought she was going to meet me at Taki's later."
Jace smiled. "She went with her parents out to look at wedding cakes and the like. It's just you and me Lewis."
"And what "fun" will be going on tonight?" Simon asked, very much wanting to sleep.
"We're going to eat then I am going to train you to be yourself or rather be a warrior stronger than yourself because you could be a terrifying creature, if you knew anything."
"Should've known that shadowhunters don't think it's fun unless there's a colossal amount of pain."
"Where there is pain, there is pleasure." Jace quoted.
Simon grinned. "So that's why you're always hunting demons, is Clary not enough?"
Jace looked at Simon for a second and said, "Let's go now I'm hungry."
They walked out of the room, while Simon stopped to leave a note on the counter explaining to Jordan about the door, and walked out the apartment.
Jace went on to the street and called a Taxi, while Simon smiled.
"What?" Jace said puzzled.
"I have vampire speed," Simon explained, "so I'll race you. Matter of fact, I'll give you a 30 second head start."
Jace started to smile as well and got into the taxi. "You're on," he paused, "but whoever loses is paying."
The door slammed and the Taxi sped off down the street, with Simon staring after it. When thirty seconds passed he tensed up and sped off thinking, well Jace...get your pocketbook ready...
