“This is amazing. This is by far the best thing I’ve ever experienced, oh my god,” Simon babbles as Jace laughs next to him. He gently pushes Simon’s hair out of his face, and Simon smiles dopily up at him. Jace tries to ignore how his heart constricts at that.
He’s just a friend, Jace reminds himself, watching as Simon tries to get out of bed and stumbles right before his feet hit the ground.
“Have I ever shown you my baby photos?” Simon asks, and Jace has to hide his snort behind his hand, because this is definitely not something Simon would willingly try to show Jace were he even one degree more sober than he is now.
When Simon told Jace that he’d never gotten drunk off of vampire liquor, only buzzed, Jace went and got him the tequila of alcoholic blood from a smaller Queens clan.
Now, Simon is drunker than Jace had anticipated, but he’s giggly and happy, and Jace is enjoying watching Simon’s ridiculous drunk antics.
“Look,” Simon says as he opens the book of old baby photos. “That’s me taking a bath. I think I’m like one in that photo.”
Jace hums, glancing over to the photo and has to resist the urge to steal that photo away so he can tease Simon about it forever.
“I took these before I left the house. They were in my room,” Simon explains, blinking a few times at the book in front of him as he flips to a new page. “I didn’t think you’d ever get to see these, yaknow.”
“Why?” Jace asks.
“Because I have a crush on you, duh,” Simon says like it’s the most obvious thing in the world, although his words are a little slurred.
“What?” Jace asks dumbly, his eyebrows furrowed together. Because, well, the fuck?
It’s the other way around. Jace has a huge thing for Simon that is one sided. Jace is the one who worries about Simon whenever he fights with them during a demon attack. Jace is the one who has tried to come to terms with the fact that Simon might just never like him back.
“I know, okay? You don’t have to pretend like you feel bad or anything. I know you don’t feel the same,” Simon says sadly, fiddling with the corner of the photo album page.
“Wait - what?” Jace says again, because he’s confused and whatever just came out of Simon’s mouth is a huge plate of no. “Of course I feel the same.”
“Now I’m confused,” Simon says, shifting to look at Jace. He narrows his eyes, and Jace can tell they’re still slightly unfocused from all the alcohol. “Why do you have a crush on me?”
“I don’t know,” Jace answers. “Why do you have a crush on me?”
“Touché,” Simon says, before grinning widely and leaning forward with closed eyes, obviously expecting a kiss.
“Nope,” Jace says, ducking his face out of the way and catching Simon by the shoulders. “You’re drunk, Simon.”
“Yeah, and you’re hot. Glad we’re both stating obvious things here,” Simon says, pouting.
“Simon,” Jace says with a soft laugh, trying to downplay how it feels like his heart is doing somersaults in his chest. “I’m not - we’re not having our first kiss when you’re drunk. I need to know that when you’re sober, you’ll still want this - me.”
“Of course I will,” Simon protests.
“Tomorrow,” Jace says softly, pushing Simon back gently and cupping his face. “Tomorrow morning we’ll talk about this, okay? Then we can get to the kissing.”
Simon sighs dramatically, “okay.”
Jace smiles, unable to help it, and slowly leans forward, kissing just the very edge of Simon’s lips. Simon watches him with wide eyes as he pulls back and jerks his head towards the bed.
“Let’s get some water in you and then you’ll rest, okay?” Jace says.
“M’kay.”
When sunrise comes, they do more kissing than talking, but Jace still considers it one of the best mornings of his life.
