A Book That's Also a Face
Simon's phone rang as someone knocked on the door to his Institute room. He had moved into the New York Institute after he Ascended because he couldn't stay at home.
Surprisingly, his mother took the news of his Ascension way better than when he told her he's a vampire. But he couldn't just casually tell her he's off to hunt some demons with his new gang from time to time. So he decided to stay at the Institute.
He couldn't deny that his decision was also influenced by the fact that Isabelle lived there. They DTRed once again about one month after his arrival to the Institute.
"Come in," said Simon before checking who is calling. It was Clary.
Isabelle entered the room looking as gorgeous as ever in a simple turquoise tank top and tight jeans.
He ushered her to sit down next to him on the couch as he answered the phone.
"Hey, Clary! How're you doing?"
"Hey! I'm ok. Listen Simon, I've got good news. I'm going to have a younger sibling!"
"YOUR MOTHER'S PREGNANT?!"
He could see the surprise then joy on Izzy's face.
"YES! Isn't it great! We just got the news! I'm at the doctor's right now. Gotta go, bye."
"Bye," said Simon as he hung up.
Although he didn't quite remember everything about his previous friendship with Clary, but they've been best friends again not much time after her parents' wedding.
"WOW, so they're finally going to have the child they always wanted," said Isabelle.
"Yeah. And Clary must be really happy about it. I bet she'll change her status on facebook to "Finally having a sibling who doesn't want to wipe human beings from the face of earth," joked Simon.
"I don't even know what that means," shrugged Isabelle.
Something triggered in his mind. He could feel this somehow familiar sensation of a memory coming back to him.
"It's like a book that's also a face." He looked sideways at her.
She grinned widely at him. "You remember that!"
He leaned in. "Of course I do. I think it's the only time I heard you say something that dumb."
Glaring daggers at him, she playfully attempted a hit at his arm, but he caught her hands before they hit.
Simon was a surprisingly talented Shadowhunter, despite his lack of experience. The 3 years at the Academy helped him get back the physique he lost after Asmedous claimed his immortality.
He slowly put her hands on his broad shoulders and said, "I won't tell anybody about this extremely goofy thing you said if you promise me something. Deal?"
"According to what kind of thing you demand," said Isabelle as she moved her hand through his hair?
"Nothing improper, if that's what you think. I learned everything about the Shadow world from you guys. It's time for me to teach you something about the mundane world. Facebook," suggested Simon.
"Okay then. Your room, tomorrow after training?"
"I'll be waiting."
