Clary could not believe that the institute had let them take the weekend off, they all needed some off time. They were all -she, Jace, Alec, Magnus, Isabelle and Simon- going for a two day trip to Greece, the country with the lowest demon activity in Europe, via a portal. They were going to stay in a small house in the woods, but not far from the sea, that Magnus owned. Of course they had to state where they would be in advance and make sure to be reachable at all times and be ready to return immediately in case of emergency. It has been crazy the past few months, demons flowing through the wards that Sebastian had messed with and rogue faeries that made trouble in the mundane world as retaliation for the harsh treatment of the Nephilim towards them. All the shadowhunters of age were patrolling and slaying like crazy, so now it seemed like a dream to have two full days without all that.
When they arrived Clary saw with some surprise that Magnus was quite literal when he had told them it would be a very small house. It had a low selling, with three small bedrooms, a kitchen and only one bathroom for everyone to use. But still it seemed cozy and welcoming to Clary.
"So, where's the rest then?" asked Jace once they entered the hall. Clary gave him a punch at the arm.
"Don't be rude!" and then to Magnus: "Sorry we're still working on his manners."
Magnus waved off their comments with a swift motion of his hand and proceeded to directing everyone to their rooms. He and Alec would get the one at the base floor and there were two more upstairs, the right one for Simon and Isabelle, left one for Jace and Clary.
Once Clary was all settled and changed into her bikini she went out to the spacious yard to find the others.
"Well, who's been a mundane longer?" Simon was asking Jace, they seemed to be into fighting mode, Izzy leaning on the hood of a car looking bored.
"Obviously you, which only proves you're the dumbest and most unskilled of the two of us." replied Jace in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Noooo! It means that I actually know how to drive a car! So get over it, I'm driving!"
"No, cause I'm the oldest."
"Only by a few months."
"You two are fighting like thirteen-year-olds over a pair of high heals." Izzy finally broke out of her silence. "Ah, Clary, make them shut up!" she added when she noticed her approaching.
"It's all a ridiculous contest but Simon is slightly a better driver." Clary tried to be fair.
"Ha!" screamed Simon in Jace's face like a little boy and took the keys off of his hand before heading to the driver's seat. Jace, extremely slowly turned and looked at Clary with a look as full of hurt as he could manage, then dramatically wiped his head on the other side, refusing to look at her, making his slightly overgrown hair jingle in the wind for extra dramatic effect. She stood there for a second, trying not to laugh and went on after him to get into the back seat of the car.
"Where's Magnus and Alec?" she asked.
"They took the other car, Magnus is going to lead the way to the beach." answered Isabelle from the seat in front of her.
They arrived at a sand beach after about ten minutes through a bumpy road full of twists. But it was wort it, the water was green-blue and almost still like glass, the temperature far hotter than the freezing ones at the ocean she knew. She looked around her, Magnus and Alec were far inside the sea splashing each other, they seemed to be able to stand on their feet on the bed of the sea despite how far from the coast they were. Isabelle seemed to be taking her time, working on her tan, laying on her towel over the hot sand as Simon was spreading tanning oil all over her long legs. He whore no shirt and Clary could see the new marks on his bare arms and back, they intertwined finely with the muscles that only recently had appeared on is body. It was still very odd to think of him as a shadowhunter.
Jace was in front of her looking at the horizon, his feet in the water up to his uncles. She could only see his marked back and that gave her an urge to run and climb up there, so she did with a playful battle cry as she reached and hopped on him, his hands immediately locking under her thighs to support her.
"Lets go in!" she told him excitedly after she gave a kiss to his chick, it was slightly rough because he hadn't shaved that morning.
Without a word he walked on the sloping sea bed about thirty meters in before the water was up to his chest. Clary, with a deep breath, let go and dipped inside the water, swimming around in a circle underwater. When she came up for air she saw that Jace's hair were wet as well and he was running his hands over his face, his Herondale ring shone when it caught the sun. she swam toward him, her legs going automatically around his waist and he put his firm arms around her.
"You know what all this reminds me of, right?" he told her softly.
"The night at the cave?" it was more of a statement that a question really.
"Yes." he said simply with a smile that made her smile right back at him. His eyes not looking at her anymore but remembering a night eight months back when they finally had become one in every humanly way possible. She bent her head to the memories and gave a soft kiss to the nape of his neck and then another to his collarbone before he pulled her deeper in the sea with a laugh.
-Author's note
Hello MI fans! This is my new story for one of my absolute favorite fandoms. I hope I did well and did not disappoint anyone. If you did not find the reason why this is rated M, just wait till my next chapter! Anyway, this is not a story with any particular plot, it is just something I am doing for fun, it will probably contain only juicy lemons from now on and won't be very long before it's finished.
Leave me your reviews and I will read them all with concentration and thoughtfulness! The next chapter will be up soon for your eyes only and will contain a very smutty Clary and Jace scene!
-Kisses M.
