Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

-Albert Schweitzer

It took only ten men before it happened.

A shadowhunter would have lasted two or three times that.

A mundane would have lasted less.

This boy was neither.

This boy was a downworlder with hopelessly human attributes that sickened him.

Sebastian's gaze finally came to a rest where fallen tears rested on the young man's cheeks. Dipping his slender finger he took one and tasted it. Salty.

He hasn't meant to wander upon the young bloodsucker when entering the nest. It was incident of pure luck. He hadn't deiced if it was good or bad yet. He doubted once he awakened that Simon would know the answer to that question either.

On one hand this was the same man who had tormented his best friend and her boyfriend, as well as her brother.

On the other...without Sebastian's 'rescue' then Simon would have remained here until the shadowhunters came to the realization of the deceit. That could've taken weeks, maybe months, depending on the false story the vampires had forced the youngling to tell.

But time wouldn't change the fact that this boy was broken. It would only decay the time it'd take his wounds to heal and more time for the vampires to create more. Deeper ones.

Sebastian placed a hand softly on the young man's chin and inspected him as well as possible. Bruises covered his whole body, he looked sickly as well. They probably starved him. Sebastian also had no doubt that if he were to take the boys clothes off he would find numerous bruises all over, anyplace unbruised would be battered.

With little struggle Sebastian ripped one the cuffs off from the boys wrists. It was no surprise for him to see a lack of circulation on them. Sebastian, without thinking, rubbed the boys wrist almost soothingly. The daylighter still gave no reply.

Imminently, the rogue shadowhunter broke off the contact and ripped, the other cuff off him. With little trouble of difficulty, he tossed Simon over his back, almost as if he were a sack of potatoes.

Sebastian gave one more last look to the thousands of dead, truly dead, vampire corpses on the ground. He sighed. The cleanup was not gonna be fun on this one.


A/N

So this is my first official The Mortal Instruments story on here. I have other ones in progress but this is the first one I'm going to publish.

Where the idea came from;

The truth is I love Simon and as much as I love him and Isabelle I like seeing him with darker characters. I feel that his kindness and himself as a character is very unappreciated some times so I wanted to write a fan fiction where someone saw why he was so important.

The reason I choose Sebastian/Jonathan is because he is another one of my favorite characters. I figured he'd be the best one to be the one learning about who Simon truly is. I'm not quit sure if I'm going to have them get together or of it will he platonic. That's why I'm asking you guys to vote. Either one I'll make happen.
