A/N Hey guys so my laptop is still broken can you believe that. I'll be getting it fixed soon enough though! I decided to write a collection of Clace one-shots. Just random stuff really but mostly after COHF so be warned spoilers :)

I tried to cook, I really did

Jace stood in the steamy kitchen. It was hot and humid. Jace's hair had puffed up due to the moisture in the kitchen, something Jace wasn't very proud of. Scattered along the countertops lay bags of ingredients and pots and pans. The Institute's kitchen was a mess. The cooker was smoking and there was a black burnt patch on the roof from the explosion that had taken ave earlier that day.

Jace ran his fingers through his hair. Something he only did when he was stressed. Who would want to mess up this perfectly styled hair unnecessarily? Earlier that day he had impulsively texted Clary asking her to come to the Institute at 8 for dinner. And now it was 6.

He had tried to make chicken curry and rice but halfway through he realised they were out of chicken and that the butchers was right beside the local duck pond.

he then turned to his second option - Pasta Carbonara. That didn't turn out quite as he planed. Jace was the best cook in the Institute apart from Maryse so he thought he was going pretty well, until Izzy came in.

She had flounced into the room in her 7" heels and bounded over to the fridge.

"Whatcha cooking, Jace?" Jace stirred the mixture around. It was almost ready.

"Just some carbonara for Clary and I" he replied as Izzy inched closer.

"Can I try some?" She asked her eyes bigs and pleading.

"No Izzy."

"Oh fine!" Jace threw his hands in the air in defeat. Izzy's puppy dog red were killer.

"Mmmm this is good but you could use a little more salt."

izzy picked up the salt shaker and shook it over the pan.

"Noooo!"

The dish was runined. Way too salty.

"But maybe I could fix it" he had thought but of course Salt had caught itself in the gas cooker and so the pan went up in flames.

"Whoops... Gotta go meet Simon!" Izzy hurried from the room before Jace could pin her to the fridge.

Jace cussed loudly.

And so Jace was left in quite the predicament. Jace frowned. He had little over an hour left to prepare the greenhouse for Clary and to cook.

Jace ran out of the Institute like lightening. Half an our later Jace ran back to the kitchen with a large bag from Walmart. He pulled out a ready made large portion of curry and put some uncle Ben's rice in the microwave. He heated up the curry and put the rice and the curry on plates and arraigned it so it looks home cooked. Then he hastily poured two glasses of kool aide into wine glasses and walked to wards the green house.

Jace had just finished laying out the Picnic blanket when Clary arrived. She looked beautiful as ever. Her red hair gleaming and her green eyes shining.

"Ooo curry my favourite! Did you cool this all by yourself Jace?!" She asked expectantly.

Jace stuttered out a "Yyess I um did ha" and sat down blushing.

"Jace Herondale blushing!" Clary laughed the laugh that warmed his heart.

"What's in this?" She said taking a large spoon full and plopping it in her mouth.

"I can't remember but it doesn't matter all that matters is you" he said shly steering the conversation away from the topic of food.

"You really shouldn't have made all this food by yourself just for me" she said and smirked.

Damn she knew.

"Is there anything you'd like to tell me Jonathan?" She asked batting her eyelashes innocently.

Oh boy! She was playing the full name game with him.

Plus She had no idea what she was doing to him whilst batting her eyelids.

"I didnt make the curry im sorry izzy blew it up and i didnt have time!" Jace forced out in record breaking time.

"Oh I know" Clary smiled. "Izzy told me!"

"That *%$#*$%#"

"I tried to cook, I really did" Jace protested.

"I have no doubt you did" Clary smiled

"But honesty is the best policy so here's you reward. Clary leaned over towards him and kissed him. Jace's senses exploded. The kiss was sweet and passionate. Jace opened his eyes and saw Clary's green ones starting back at him. They were still kissing. The kiss getting more heated all the time. Clary was tugging on his hair and Jace's hands trailed up and down her body lovingly.

Gold stared into green. Just as Jace bent to kiss her neck Clary pulled a funny face and crossed her eyes. Jace pulled away and burst out laughing. Clary giggles unstoppable. They rolled around on the ground laughing for a good twenty minutes until Ckary said

"Come on I want to eat the rest if my curry with was definitely made by you mr Chef Herondale!" And smirked as Jace sat dumbfound staring at his girlfriend and observing how much his sarcastic nature had rubbed up on Clary.

He smiled.
