Chapter 1: Preface I Guess?

No One's Pov

Raphael and Simon were pissed off. Ever since they got together people have been getting into their business, bugging them and judging them like they think they have a say. The worst part was that it wasn't random strangers, it was their so called friends. The few Shadowhunters that were actually ok with them being Downworlders (Clary, Izzy, Jace, Alec) decided that they had the right to butt in and comment.

It all started when they first came out to Simon's friends...

*Flashback*

"Are you sure you want to do this Raphael? I know you don't like them very much because their Shadowhunters" Simon asked his boyfriend who sighed, they've had this talk before.

"Yes Simon, I may not like them but they are important to you. And besides, I want them to know that you're mine" Raphael smirked as his fingers fluttered over his claiming bite on Simon's neck. If they could still blush Raphael knew that his baby who be red right now.

Magnus had invited them along with Clary, Jace, Alec (of course) and Izzy over for a night of fun and peace away from all of their problems. And tonight Simon and Rapahel were going to tell the group they are together, granted they had only been together a week but still. And as for the claiming mark? No it wasn't too soon because they both knew they'd be together for the rest of their undead lives, they were mates. Mates bonded from the moment they first see each other but at the time Simon was a mundane so he didn't understand the feeling and had no clue but Raphael had pushed it away until his first kiss with Simon, after that he couldn't hold it in anymore. He explained everything to Simon and after he took it all in he agreed to accept the claiming bite. Now here they were, already blissfully happy.

"Okay, here we go" Simon whispered before he knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Magnus who greeted them with a smile and when he saw their joined hands it turned into a full blown smirk. He moved aside and let them into the apartment where the others were patiently waiting for them.

'It's now or never' Simon thought to himself but Raphael picked up on it, mates can read each other's mind.

'It will be okay mi sol naciente'

'I know mi rey, I'll be fine as long as I have you'

'You've been learning spanish haven't you?'

'Of course! I thought you'd like it and it would make it easier for us to talk'

'You're amazing Simon'

'So are you Raphael'

'I know now let's get this over with'

'Yeah yeah yeah'

"Guys we have something to tell you!" Simon blurted out. Raphael rolled his eyes but softly smiled at his boyfriend's nervousness.

"What is it Simon? Are you okay?!" Clary shouted and moved to comfort her friend but Jace held her back and shook his head.

"Yes Simon tell us what you're big news is" Magnus spoke out with a knowing grin.

"Okay, Raphael and I are together!" To prove it he raised their joined hands together which the other didn't object to.

There was a silence before Clary, Jace and Izzy burst into laughter. Simon frowned, annoyed and confused and Raphael bared his fangs and growled, poised to attack. They waited until they all calmed down before they spoke. Well before Simon spoke, Raphael was too mad to say anything. In fact is was taking all of this self control not to tear the Shadowhunters limb from limb.

"What the hell guys?!"

"Sorry Simon but this is ridiculous. I know I told you to get close to Raphael but this is taking it too far, you shouldn't play with someone's feelings"

"Explain yourself Fairchild" Raphael gritted out through his still bared fangs. Clary turned to him and smirked and Simon was now scared, this wasn't his friend, she looked evil.

"I'll be happy to tell you. After the wedding I asked Simon to help us with Camille but he refused. So I asked him if he could just try and get close to you so he could convince you to let us do what we need and he again said no but I guess he changed his mind"

The room was silent again and all eyes were trained on Raphael, waiting for him to explode but his reaction surprised them. He sighed, rolled his eyes and waved his hand dismissively in Clary's direction.

"I already knew about all that Clarissa"

"What?" she stuttered out.

"I told him everything Clary. I told you I wasn't going to betray him and lie" Suddenly an overwhelming realization hit him.

"Wait, did you guys bring us here to convince us to let you go after Camille?!" Now Simon was the one who was furious. At least Clary looked a little ashamed.

"I'm disappointed in you Clary. I knew you wouldn't stop but I didn't think you'd try and use us"

"I'm sorry Simon but I want to Mom back! And you're not innocent, you're playing Raphael. I know that you hate him!" Both Simon, Raphael and even Magnus chuckled at that.

"Oh Biscuit that is so far from true"

"How do you know Magnus?"

"Because they're mates! Did you really not notice the bite marks?" He walked over and pulled Simon's shirt aside and pushed Raphael's sleeve up so they could get a better view. The Shadowhunters stared at the marks in shocked with the vampires beamed with pride.

"So now you see Clarissa: this is about as serious as things could get for them. Do not joke about it, if they are happy you should be too. Speaking of which I want to throw a party for you guys"

"Sorry Magnus but now's not a good time" Raphael calmed spoke and he pouted.

"But we promise you can plan one later" Simon told him.

"Can I bring Alec?"

"Of course you can but they aren't invited" he said pointing to his former friends.

"What? Why not?"

"Because you think our relationship is a joke, if you don't support us you're not invited. Now do the rest of you have anything to say before we leave?" Raphael spat out as he glared at the room.

"I do, I don't believe this is real. I'm getting a Beauty and the Beast vide from you guys and that's not right" Izzy told the boys.

"Izzy we were meant to be together from the moment we met, I just didn't know it at the time. Raphael knew but he kept it hidden because I was still a mundane and he didn't want to force me into this world. But after I turned things changed and as soon as I showed him I cared he told me everything and I accepted being his mate. This was both of our choices and I wanted this. Now Jace say what you have to say so we can go"

"Okay, this is unbelieveable and wrong. Vampires are heartless demons, they can't be in love and I think mates are something they made up to protect themselves"

"This coming from the posterchild of refusing to feel anything" Raphael lashed out and Jace moved to strike but Simon got in the way.

"Try that again and you won't make it out alive"

"Simon let's go home"

They left the apartment with the slam of a door and never looked back.

*End flashback*

Things have been spotty with them since then but they didn't mind, they'd rather spend time with people who were truly happy for them, like their clan. When they got back that day still holding hands and looking glum the clan greeted them with worry. When they told them what happened they found themselves surrounded with a giant group hug. The clan accepted them and were happy for them and that was all they needed, screw the others.

After that the clan got closer, especially Lily and Simon who had taken Clary's place as his best friend. He barely spoke with her anyone more, in fact they only times they talked Clary did most of the talking by asking to see Camille, asking for help in general and trying to get him to leave Raphael. And if that wasn't bad enough a few months after that dreaded meeting when the clan was out partying Clary, Izzy and Jace broke into the hotel and broke Camille out, in the process killing her guard and the only vampire left in the buidling. The clan raced back home when they felt a part of their bond break but sadly they were too late to stop them or save him. The next day they held a service for him and Simon completely cut off all ties with all the Shadowhunters minus Alec, he knew he had nothing to do with it.

Sadly things didn't end there, months later they reached a breaking point. When did that happen? Today, on Simon and Raphael's one year anniversary. Today all hell will break loose and Raphael, Simon, the clan, Magnus and Alec will release all of their anger on the unwelcomed three.
