Simon, who spends his adolescence trying to conform to the kind of boy a hero should be, thinking that Baz isn't a monster but a simple boy as he finally figures out the type of closeness he has wanted to have with Baz all along. Baz, who spends all his adolescence feeling like he has no choice but to play a villainous monster, letting down his walls around Simon when he realizes Simon too is a monster, telling him then how attractive he finds him. And if Simon, good and brave and heroic, is also a monster, then what does that mean for Baz? Is that such a bad thing to be?

Baz and Simon redefining monsterhood through acts of love. Separating the definition of "monster" as synonymous with "evil," as a way to definitely terrible evil even, from "monster" simply because they have non-human traits. Simon grows wings and a tail. Baz, unable to fully heal from the scars left from always feeling like his monstrousness makes him evil, being told he's good, that Simon loves every part of him and would do anything for him. He kills for him. Baz suppresses himself, unless Simon is in danger (or Penny. He uses his strength and his speed and his fangs then). Simon bites Baz. He tries to reach for his fangs with his mouth. Baz touches and caresses Simon's tail. Simon's wings interacting with Baz. Reacting to him. Simon feeling like he needs them to reach Baz, just in case.
