Baz wasn't sure why exactly he had to fall in love with Simon Snow.
Simon Snow, the Chosen One, the Mage's Heir, and his family's worst enemy.
Maybe the universe enjoyed torturing him.
Maybe it decided to be particularly unkind to him (or kind, depending on how you looked at it).
Maybe it just downright hates him.
But every time he looked at Simon, he stopped caring about anything else. It took every ounce of self-control in him to not snog him on the spot.
He knew when exactly he had fallen for him of course.
The very first time he met him.
Years ago, when he met this boy who had golden hair, vivid blue eyes and was constantly playing with a red rubber ball, he felt these feelings for the first time.
After spending so much time in the same dormitory as him, it just became habit- the way they argued and fought. He was able to hide the burning passion inside him for a while. He built walls around himself.
After all, every fairytale hero needed a good old-fashioned villain, didn't it?
However, everything comes to an end.
That night, when Simon Snow came to his door clad in a layer of mud and filth, was when his facade began to end.
And then, when Snow kissed him, was when the walls that he had been building around himself for so long started to crumble and fall.
Despite all of this, one thing still remained: why?
Baz kept asking this question years after they left Watford.
At first he thought it was a punishment.
Then, he decided it was a blessing.
However one thing was for sure:
He was in love with Simon Snow and Crowley, did he not regret a single second of it.
