Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.

-William Blake

The only fun part of this whole ordeal was the obedience. If Sebastian said to jump, Simon said how high. If Sebastian said to run a mile, he'd run 10. He wouldn't be ashamed to admit that he enjoyed it. The power over the boy.

But it was also annoying. There was no fight within him. Nothing that even doubted or defied Sebastian. That was somewhat annoying. (Not enough to ruin the fun).

And last there was the way he looked at him. The way he showed concern. Something Sebastian noticed right away was that Simon had no fear of him. He looked at him with adoration. Something completely foreign to the blonde shadowhunter.

The times Simon wasn't looking at him with those big puppy dog eyes waiting for a command he was acting like a normal teenager and as if Sebastian was one of his friends. As shameful as it was for Sebastian to even think about let along admit was that he enjoyed that as well. It was nice.

Though Simon had no idea what he himself was he seemed to have a pretty good idea of what Sebastian was. Despite that though, he treated him normally. Sebastian was beginning to see the pull of having Simon for a friend was.

He hated it.

Despised it was more than accurate.

This was a weakness. Simon becoming his friend or whatever he was too him, it was fake but...it was real enough to become a weak point. He already had two of those, Clary and sometimes Jace, that was too many as it was. He didn't need another.

"Jonathan?" All Sebastian's mumbled thoughts were soon stopped by the appearance of the daylighter at his door. For whatever reason he had the daylighter calling him Jonathan. When the boy had asked his name for whatever reason that word came out. Jonathan. And from then on he called him Jonathan. And he was the only one.

"S-sorry!" The boy said. Sebastian had noticed imminently the slight difference between this Simon and the real one he knew from his time undercover. This Simon, upon even thinking he did something wrong or bothersome, began apologizing on the spot even for something as stupid as not hearing something. (which Sebastian found quit stupid as he was a freakin vampire).

"No," Sebastian waved off, if Simon began his sorry parade than whatever he came in here to say would be forgotten. "What is it you wanted?"

Simon played with his fingers while looking at the ground. Sebastian blamed the habit on an anime character Simon had watched do it. Since then he'd begun doing it every time he got nervous. Stupid anime (And stupid him for even allowing it to be watched).

"I-" Simon bit his lip as the twiddling of his fingers increased. "I don't get why everyone keeps calling me daylighter and-" Simon stopped fearfully.

That meant whatever he didn't understand may have been insulting to Sebastian.

"What?!" Sebastian asked sharply. Of course he didn't care what it was. He was just...curious and plus, if Simon didn't tell him then he'd be worrying about it all the time which would be a nuisance.

"I..." Simon tilted his head his eyes becoming softer as he asked fearfully. "Why are you kind to me?" He bit his lip ceasing eye contact.

Sebastian couldn't help but form his equivalence to a smile on his face. That of course, which would be, a smirk.

"Good question, mind me asking what brought this on?"

Simon chuckled sheepishly. "Well I..." With a small blush he said. "I'm not stupid, observant I guess but...you treat people differently then you treat me. I don't understand that."

Sebastian expression faltered. Why did he treat Simon special? He could have easily have him confined to his room or better yet chained up in a dungeon to use as a bargaining chip! Instead he let him roam free. He even bought him (acquired was a better word) game systems. Games to go along with them, those stupid manga things, even that Netflix thing (he even considered getting him Hulu Plus, whatever the hell that was) but why? It wasn't as if he needed to get in his favor. For whatever reason the Daylighter worshipped the ground he walked on (not that he was complaining), it wasn't as if he could use him as a spy when he didn't remember anything, why was he kind to him?

"Jonathan?" Simon's big doe eyes were stuck on him now. Watching his every move, fearing it. Simon must be scared, feared he hit a nerve. That he displeased Sebastian. Suddenly that power didn't feel so good anymore.

"Leave." Sebastion ordered. Simon look not only takenaback but utterly shattered.

Tears welled up within his eyes as he stumbled a step back. He didn't utter more then two words. "Sorry Jonathan."

The vampire begun making his way towards the door, never mind him stumbling over his own feet.

"Wait," Sebastian called. Simon stopped stiffly, hopefulness in his eyes.

"My name is Sebastian." He said solemnly. "Call me Jonathan if you wish but that is not who I am."

Simon was gone.

A/N

So there's the next chapter. I have updated this in forever because I've gotten no reviews. I know it sounds stupid but I feel like I'm writing for no reason if I get none of them. They remind me that people actually care about this story. That I'm continuing it for a reason. On top of that I've practically lost any inspiration. So, for all I know this may be the last chapter. Or maybe not. Who knows.
