Chapter 2: The Breaking Point
No One's Pov
*Where we left off*
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.

Raphael and Simon's first anniversary came quickly and everyone was excited, especially Lily and Magnus who finally got to plan a party for them. They decided to hold it at Pandemonium and of course the entire clan was invited along with Magnus who would bring Alec. Surprisingly he, Magnus, Simon and Raphael had all become fast friends and they were known for going on double dates or just hanging out at either the hotel or Magnus's apartment. The clan didn't mind, they liked both boys well enough and didn't mind them hanging around, even though Alec was a shadowhunter and still hung around with Clary, Izzy and Jace. They knew that he wouldn't just leave them behind even with what they've done. they are family (besides Clary) and they understood that. (Anyway back to the party)
A few hours before the party started Luke called Simon to wish him and Raphael well. He and the vampires may not get along but he understood what being mates meant and as long as Simon was happy then he was happy for them. Simon would have liked to invite him to the party but he knew that both Luke and the rest of the clan would be uncomfortable so he was glad for the phone call.
After he hung up Lily came and dragged him away while Magnus grabbed Raphael. They decided to divide and conquer to get the boys ready for there big day. They tried to protest, especially when they were told they couldn't see each other until right before the party but Lily and Magnus insisted that it would be worth it. They dressed them to match but not completely, with different colors. Raphael and Simon both sported silk dress shirts (Raphael red and Simon blue), black tuxedo jackets, black dress pants and black dress shoes, basically they were dressed super classy. The only thing different was that Magnus slipped something into Raphael's pocket with a wink and smile.
When they finally saw each other outside the party it took all their restraint not to rip each other's clothes off but they'd get to that later (and they didn't want to face the wrath of Lily and Magnus for destroying all their hard work). So with arms linked they walked into their party where the crowd roared when they entered. And like good hosts Simon and Raphael greeted and talked with each and every one of their guests until they moved over to the bar to hang with Alec, Lily and Magnus. Each of them got a drink and toasted to the happy couple, Raphael and Simon doing the cute thing where they linked arms and drank together.
Suddenly the upbeat pop music turned into a smooth melody, a slow song was playing. Lily was whisked away by Elliot, Magnus pulled Alec to the dancefloor and immediately found a rhythm wrapped in each others arms. Last but not least Raphael took Simon by both hands and pulled him to the center of the room where without hesitation Raphael pulled Simon in close by the waist and they moved slowly in perfect sync.
Everyone clapped when the song ended and the music was then cut off and they all turned towards their leader and friend when Magnus tossed him a microphone. Raphael turned to Simon who looked confused but still happy, so with a shaky yet unneeded breath he began.
"Simon, when we met I was in a dark place and a slave to a terrible woman while you were a frightened and oblivious mundane. But even then I knew you were special and I tried so hard to keep you innocent and away from the darkness our world brings. But I failed and you were turned, and ever since that day I've been trying to make up for my part in it and in the process I fell in love with you. Even after being turned into a vampire you are still so pure and innocent, so full of light that no one misses the sun when you are in the room. You're the best thing that's happened to all of us since we were turned and I cannot thank you enough. I know things have been rough this past year and you've had to let go of some people but seeing and hearing that you are truly happy even without them in your life means the world to me. You mean the world to me, to all of us and we'd like to keep you forever, I'd like to keep you forever. So Simon Daniel Lewis, will you be my husband for eternity?"
Raphael was now on one knee holding a stunning gold ring engraved magically with 'Simon Daniel Santiago' and 'mi amor por siempre'. Both him and Simon were shedding bloody tears but as Simon was opening his mouth to answer an angry voice entered the room.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
Everyone turned and then hissed/glared when they saw the party crasher was Clary followed by Izzy and Jace. Lily went to stand with Simon who was looking shaken and Raphael who looked like he wanted to rip their heads off while Alec and Magnus went upfront to deal with the intruders and crowd control.
"Biscuit now is not the time for this, you really need to leave"
"No I won't leave Magnus! I want to know what's going on right now!"
"Isn't it obvious Biscuit, I was proposing to my boyfriend before you decided to break in and ruin the moment" Raphael growled out with disdain towards the red head who let out a growl of her own and pulled out her weapon.
"You! This is all your fault! You've turned Simon against me and now Magnus! You ruined my best friend's life by turning him into a vampire and to make things worse you seduced him and are now going to force him into a shame marriage for so many wrong reasons it makes me sick! Well I'm not going to let you do it and I'm going to do something I should have done the day I met you"
Clary stalked forward clutching her weapon tightly, ready to tear through the hoard of vampires to get to her true prize when she felt something sharp poking her cheek. Carefully she turned to her left and was completely surprised to see Alec standing there with his trusty bow aiming an arrow at her head.
"Don't take another step Clary, I don't want to have to do this" Alec spoke up, making sure to avoid eye contact with his sister and adoptive brother.
"Then don't do it Alec! It's Clary, don't kill her when she's trying to do her job" Izzy exclaimed and Alec turned sharply to glare at her.
"We do not kill innocent Downworlders! Raphael has done nothing wrong but you'd condemn him for being in love with Simon because you think it's fake. But I've seen them together, I know they really love each other and I won't let you hurt either of them just because you don't understand it"
The whole room was silent taking in what Alec had just said, none of them have ever heard a Shadowhunter defend a vampire or any Downworlder with such feeling before. Simon was the first one to get his bearings and speak up.
"Thank you Alec, that really means a lot. Now could you and your boyfriend do me a favor and escort the trespassers out of my engagement party what would be help" Simon turned and beamed at Raphael who was stunned for a moment but then beamed even brighter than Simon.
"So I guess you're saying yes then?" He teased.
"Does this answer your question?" Simon grabbed Raphael by his jacket just like Alec had done a year ago and pulled Raphael in for a kiss. The whole room screamed in joy for the couple, momentarily forgetting about the unwelcomed guests until Clary screamed as she was being forced out.
"This isn't over! I will get you out of the way Raphael and I will have Simon back no matter what!" Those were the last words everyone heard before the group was forced out. To lighten the mood they had the music start up again and drinks were passed out and everyone seemed to forget the interruption except for Simon, Raphael, Lily, Alec, and Magnus who all regrouped in a private backroom where Simon finally let loose.
"I can't believe she did that! I can't believe she cares so little about my happiness, about me! Uggh I can't believe I was ever friends with her!" When he was finally done he plopped down with a sigh next to his fiance who wrapped his arms around him.
"Should we increase defenses around the hotel in case she tries to break in again?" Lily asked Raphael.
"I don't think that'll be necessary, she's smart enough to know that an attack on the hotel gives us the right to defend ourselves even if it means killing her"
"So what can we do?" Alec questioned.
"You should do nothing my dear, we really appreciate the help but we don't want to cause you any problems with them" Magnus calmly told his boyfriend.
"He's right Alec, you have no idea how much you've helped us but we don't want you to lose them over us. If you can just try to be our mediator of sorts, our middle ground" Simon told Alec and he sighed.
"Alright, if that's what you want"
"Okay enough of the serious talk! We have an engagement to celebrate and a wedding to plan!" Magnus exclaimed as he dragged Lily and Alec away, Raphael and Simon close behind.
They celebrated until the sun came up and the next night they began planning the wedding of the century. If only they knew how far off the rails it would go.
