First fanfic for The Mortal Instruments! ^. ^' I always loved the fact of Simon and Clary being together, but now that Jace isn't her brother she has him. = (I love Jace but…Never mind, I don't want to turn this into a huge Authors Note. So, I had a small idea for a fanfic about Simon and Maia even if Simon was supposed to stay away from society because he's a vampire but he can't stay away from his friends. I don't know what POV to do this in, I would like to try to do it only in Maia's but I may do Simon's or someone else's once in a while.

I do not own a lot of this except for the later plot, Clare does.

Simon+ Maia=L*O*V*E* Werewolf+ Vampire= best combination ever! Simple Math Really.

Chapter 1

Why do we all want something we can't-or shouldn't- have? I don't know, because were human? When a figure of authority tells us not to do something, why do we do it anyways? Hmm…That's a hard one, because were human? When we truly know-for ourselves- that's something is wrong and we should stop, why do we keep continuing? Why do you keep asking me these difficult questions!?! My best guess would be…because were human. Well…I am not human-well not anymore- I am a werewolf, and I have fallen in love with a vampire.

My name is Maia and I am a werewolf. I have been a werewolf for a few years now; I have gotten use to being a downworlder. Unlike some people I know-cough cough Simon cough cough- but were not talking about him, well…not right now at least. Sometimes being a werewolf is a lot of fun, sometimes it stinks. I won't get into all the details now; I don't want to bore you right from the start. Apparently werewolves don't like vampires much-and vice versa. Thanks for telling me guys! Too late now. I have already fallen for the vampire Simon. I don't think my pack suspects anything-yet- but I think Luke-the alpha- may, but I trust him. He is in love with Jocelyn. Most werewolves don't and shouldn't get involved with humans, shadow-hunters or vampires. I didn't think I would fall for anybody. I didn't think I would ever need-or want- a mate. I never really thought about it before, and I definitely never expected my lover would be a vampire, especially a nerdy Dungeons and Dragons geek. (Not like anything's wrong with that!) It all started about two years ago when we-well, not Simon cause he doesn't age anymore since he was Turned- when we all were in Idris. We had just defeated Valentine-well- not us precisely, the angel did, but that doesn't really matter anymore.

I was in the Hall in the Shadow-Hunter city of Alicante in the Shadow-Hunter's land, Idris. Just like many downworlders, I felt uncomfortable being with the race that hated my kind so much. We did fight together….that may have solved most of the Shadow-Hunters feelings of hate…but it would still take time getting used to. I sighed as I pushed my way through the crowds of celebrating Shadow-Hunters and Downworlders. Valentine gave them a common enemy-instead of keeping them apart; he unified them- now he gave them a common celebration. The day the Angel Razeil rid them of their terror-Valentine. Of course, I was happy as well, he tried to kill me, to get my blood for his ritual. The man hated everything non-human. Valentine may be dead, but he won't be forgotten. People may want-and need- to forget the supposedly evilest man on the face of the planet but…he won't be forgotten. No one's really dead if people still remember them. Valentine was mad, but sadly, people won't forget. If they don't want to forget the people he had killed, tortured, or the people who worked for him, they won't forget. Then I spotted Clary and Simon speaking to each other. I quickly ran for the cover behind a stone pillar. I peeked out and listened to them speak. I was not eavesdropping! I was just listening without permission. It's sort of like stealing is borrowing without permission.

"…I would cut off my hands and give them as a Valentines present for you," finished Simon.

"Gross, must you?" Clary asked.

"I must," Simon grinned.

Clary laughed and put her hand on Simon's shoulder for a second. I saw Simon's eyes light a bit when she did so. Then she slid it off, waved a little and walked away. I saw the tall, handsome as always Jace slip out of the crowd and take Clary by the arm. Wait…weren't they related? Brother and sister or something like that? Can't they see how wrong that looks in other people's eyes? I looked back at Simon. The light left his eyes, and his face fell. How can that girl be so cruel? Can't she see how Simon adores her? Why would she choose her brother over him? Sure he was unbelievably sexy, and smart, and….ok…I get it…but their siblings! I know Clary means not to hurt him, and she just wants to be best friends, but…

A tingly feeling spread up the back of my arms. Someone was behind me, I felt a presence. I spun around and saw Simon standing there.

"What-weren't you just-oh right, Vampire," I grinned.

"Hi Maia, were you eavesdropping?" he asked, with that brilliant smile of his.

"No…," I trailed.

"Of course not, listening without permission, like stealing is borrowing without permission," he grinned.

My jaw fell open a little. I was totally just thinking that! Vampire ability or…no, a lot of people think alike. I quickly closed my mouth.

"Exactly," I grinned back.

Simon laughed and disappeared back into the celebrating crowd, leaving me feeling very warm. I could feel a blush rising in my cheeks. It didn't show well in my dark skin, but…oh well.

Hmm…How you like it? R/R? I like to see what you people think. I would make it longer but I want to get this Fanfic up on the site already.
