Clary's Pov.
"Jace, come on just move the mouse and click on Google Chrome. Its not that hard."
Clary Fray watched as her boyfriend struggled to learn the basics of technology in the 21st century. Her and Jace were sitting on her bed in her room at the institute. Since she was there so much it made sense to just live at the Institute. Her mom, Jocelyn, had finally given in, but with some rules; she was to receive weekly updates about her progress in training, Clary had to sleep at her mom and Luke's house once a week, and she couldn't sleep in the same room with Jace. Not that this rule stopped her.
"I don't understand why I need to learn this anyways, when would this come in handy against a demon?" Jace replied clearly frustrated but trying not to show it. When Clary decided to teach Jace how to use a computer, she didn't think it would be this difficult. But after three days of him slamming the laptop closed and running of to the training room she was getting tired.
She took a deep breath and counted to 10 silently in her head before replying, "Because I don't want you to be the only teenager in the tri-state area that can't use the Internet, now open Google Chrome."
Jace squinted his eyes and used the track-pad to move the mouse over to the icon. He clicked, and Clary watched as his face put on a strange emotion, but it was quickly covered up with his usually mask- lazy, slightly bored look -before she could tell what for sure. She guessed awe. He looked over a Clary with a smirk on his face and she rolled her eyes. He could be such a smart ass sometimes but she still loved him. "See I can open the Internet, I'm not as bad as Alec." Jace retorted.
This was true, last time she tried to teach Alec the ways of technology he couldn't even figure out how to move the mouse. Unfortunately Clary hasn't been able to convince him to try again. Instead of snapping a remark back, she moved closer to him. Jace then put an arm around her tiny waist pulling her even closer, closing the gap between them.
"Ok so why don't we look up something that interests you, any ideas?" She looked over at Jace to see him smirking. "What?" she asked.
"Well, there are tons of things that would interest me right now…" he trailed off looking over at her through half slitted eyes. She pick up a pillow on the bed and wacked him with is "Don't be such a sick minded child!" she half yelled, smiling at how distracted they were getting. Although they never seem to get anything done when it's just the two of them.
"I am not a child," Jace said puffing out his chest, "I'm a man." Clary decided to take this into different matters. "Oh is that so?" She watched as Jace looked at her with doubt on his face, and then nodded unsurely. "Well any man I know can use the internet and email. So you are obviously not a man." She raised her eyebrows at him, silently betting him to take the challenge. Clary knew that she had won; there was no way that Jace would turn down a challenge.
Without saying anything he turned his gaze back to the bright computer screen. Game on.
After another hour sitting on the computer, Jace had finally accomplished something. With Clary's guidance she showed Jace how to open and email account and how search for stuff on Google. Jace logged off his email and look over at Clary with a smirk on his face "I win." Clary rolled her eyes and pointed out, "Well I did help you with everything, so technically I win".
"Baby, please, you know I can do anything, remember, I was born amazing!" he smiled at this statement, which only caused Clary to giggle. When she got control over herself she took the laptop off Jace's lap and moved it onto her own. She then went over to her favourites and found Twitter. She logged into her account and started to scroll through her feed, retweeting anything she thought was cool, funny, or interesting. Jace pulled Clary into his lap and rested his head on her shoulder watching her scroll through the webpage. Clary could feel Jace's eyes watching what she was doing and could feel him smile when she retweeted a joke that he understood.
Eventually he whispered in her ear "let's get some food". Clary nodded in agreement, quickly logging off and pressing a shortcut on her keyboard to quickly close the Internet. She made a mental note to start teaching him some of these shortcuts next time they went on the computer. She closed her MacBook and got up to get change out of her sweats and tank and into jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. She pulled on her UGGs and grabbed her green jacket that Luke had given to her as a present and turned to face Jace. He was standing by the door and mumbled something about changing and being back soon.
Clary went and sat down on the edge of her bed and looked around her messy room. When she had moved into the institute Jace helped her paint the walls. They were all painted cobalt blue and on the wall against her bed hung a huge mural on a canvas board, which she painted herself. It was the Claves new mark, the one that Clary had drawn herself. It consisted of the Clave's Mark and then has all the downworlders signs surrounding it. It had turned out very well and she was very happy they had asked her to do the job. The rest of the room was filled in with furniture and art supplies. In one corner she had a huge artist desk and a shelf to hold all her paints and other supplies. In another corner she put in some purple and blue beanbag chairs over top of a green rug, which happened to match her blue and green patterned bedspread. Her last corner had her dresser and vanity which Izzy had forced her to purchase so she could "become more of a girly girl" in Isabelle's words. Her room was, as usual messy and cluttered with her art supplies spread out all over her room, and clothes lying around from when she had to make a quick change into her gear. Now that she though about it she was surprised Jace hadn't tried to clean up her room while he was in here, since he was so neat. At that thought she went out on a search to find Jace.
She eventually found him in the kitchen with Izzy. Izzy was leaning over a pot on the stove and from the smell of it; it wasn't going to turn into gourmet food. Or food at all, for that matter. Clary slowly started to back out of the kitchen trying to go unnoticed but of course Jace was already turning towards her. Jace was wearing his regular jeans and a black t-shirt. He really need to get some different clothes, Clary thought while looking over his outfit. Jace smirked, "Checking me out? Like what you see?" Clary walked past him towards Isabelle, "Nope." Jace mocked a hurt face and followed Clary close behind her.
She leaned into the pot to she a yellowish liquid coming to a boil. She scrunched her nose in disgust, "I am not eating that." Izzy gave her a look but returned her attention back to the stove, "More for me." She grabbed for a spoon and took a taste. She spit the liquid back into the pot and turned off the stove, "Ok maybe we should eat out tonight".
Jace wrapped his arms around Clary's waist and said "Anyone up for Taki's?" Clary sighed a breath of relief and twisted to face him, "I'm in.". She heard Izzy agree as well. Clary texted her friends to meet them there, and off they went to have a night on the town.
