[ Simon didn't want to freak Clary out-- but it was hard to keep his cool because, he couldn't be with her always and because her and Jace shared a living space. He wasn't scared for her life per se but he knew that whatever was going on was enough for Clary to become protective of him. ]
Who's going to protect you? I really don't want you to get hurt Clary-- there must be something we can do.
[ right? maybe they could research it together, anything that didn't involve the Clave getting in the middle of things. Clary had had enough of a hard time with them already.
he leaned forward and kissed the top of her head.]
[ Clary leaned into Simon, winding her arms around his middle. It was always a relief to get something off her chest with Simon--even more so if he wasn't upset. He would have been in his right to be; Clary had made a very literally life changing decision for another person out of, well, fear of being without that person. It had been hard for Simon to swallow then, even if he had come to terms with it now. ]
I don't need to be protected. I'm just glad I'm here with you. I'm glad you're not upset.
[ She leaned up and kissed his cheek, then leaned her face against him. ]
I don't know what to do. But I know you'll help me figure out the right thing.
I know you don't need to, but we're supposed to have each other's backs right?
[ it was just upsetting to think that Clary would try to burden all of this by herself. but it seemed that at the very least she was willing to accept Simon's help. He'd have to figure out a way to investigate this without raising any suspicion... but he had a few ideas.
he leaned his head against Clary's and sighed. At least, for now, things seemed to be under control. ]
You know I'll do anything to help. I love you, Fray.
[ Clary nodded against Simon and squeezed him closer to her. She didn't have words for the gratitude she felt for him in that moment--he was right. They were supposed to have each other's backs, through thick and thin. Especially now. ]
I love you too, Simon. I'd do anything for you.
[ She pulled back enough to lean up on her toes and brushed her lips against his. ]
Thanks for always reminding me we're a team. I need you.

Just-- don't think about it for now, okay? We'll figure something out. Promise.
