During the Victory Party Chapter 1

Hi readers. As you can tell I'm a fan of the Mortal Instruments. Sadly I'm still waiting for my friend to let my borrow City of Fallen Angels since I just finished City of Glass so yeah. Anyways this fanfic is set during the victory party after defeating Valentine in Alicante. Lots of Clace, a little Sizzy and Malec. Anyways enjoy.

(Clary's POV)

I gripped Jace's hand tightly as we strolled along the streets, while I let the rest of my silver dress get dragged across the ground. I hope Amatis won't mind. I stood there watching all different Downworlders and Shadowhunters roaming a round and actually getting along in the colorful festival. We finally defeated Valentine. I thought it would take longer than I would expected. I not only saved my mom from the coma, I also got rid of the guy that I hate the most, even though he was my biological father and gave me the power to create many different runes not from the Gray Book. And lastly I find out that Jace isn't my real brother. That ass hole pretending to be Sebastian was, unfortunantly, Johnathan Christopher Morgenstern. Jace is actually the son of Stephen and Celine Herondale (sorry I couldn't put the accent mark on her name). So first his name was Jace Wayland, then Jace Lightwood, then Johnathan Christopher Morgenstern, and finally, and hopefully officially, Jace Herondale. I didn't know Jace would have to just change his name so many times. I look up at Jace and couldn't help but stare and blush. He really is hot. His deep golden eyes, his brushed back matching hair, his pointed nose, his small mouth, and the mark of the Herondale. He saw me staring at him, but I didn't seem to pay attention because I was still staring at his god damn sexy face until he began talking.

"Am I that good looking?" he asked with a smirk.

I snapped out of my thoughts and thought how much of an idiot I was.

"I-I was just looking at the birds on the roof there," I said lamely while pointing at the roof of the house right next to us.

Jace looked where I was pointing and then looked back with the smirk still placed on his lips, saying, "There are no birds there."

I looked the same place and saw no signs of life. I cursed under my breath, and came up with the excuse, "They probably flew away."

"Alright stop with the excuses and just admit you were staring at me," he said with a chuckle.

I opened my mouth to protest then Jace looked at me reassuringly before I could speak. I sighed and then said with a blush, "Okay fine, yes I was."

He chuckled again, kissing me on the cheek before saying teasingly, "Aren't you happy that we're not related?"

"Oh shut up! You're the exact same. Even when we thought we were brother and sister you even loved me."

"That's true. But," he turns my head to face, giving me a very good view of his face, "we aren't brothers and sisters is what matters and that's why I'm so happy."

He gave me a loving smile and I couldn't help myself, so I smiled back. Jace leaned in and then planted a soft, blissful, short kiss. After it broke, we separated just an inch to stare at each other.

"I love you, Clary," he said in a truthful tone.

"I love you, too, Jace," I replied.

He FINALLY backed away and said, "I'm going to get us a drink. Do you want a virgin daquiri or, being the boring girl you are, water?

I placed a hand on my hip and gave him one of those "Excuse me!" looks, replying,"Oh so I'm boring now!"

"Well it is kinda true."

"Fine, whatever, I'll have the virgin daquiri."

He smiled and turned and joined the bustling crowd. I smiled as he left. He can be an idiot, but he's my idiot. Out of no where, I saw Isabelle running toward me, in a kind of desperate way. She panted as she reached me, trying to calm down and talk to me.

"Clary! Huff huff I need to huff talk with you!"

Izzy asking me for help? That's more rare than diamonds.

"And I'm guessing this is important?"

"Kinda Sorta."

"Well first of all tell me what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong it's just...I think...I'm falling in love with Simon."

I widened my eyes. Jace said she would just play with guys' hearts and the break them, but now is she starting to actually love someone. And yet how could that one person be the only daylight vampire, that's a huge otaku and gamer?!

"Simon Lewis?! How?! You never look at him like you like him!"

"Yeah, but ever since he helped comfort me after Max's death I think I'm starting to develop feelings for him. But I'm afraid of showing those feelings so I never look at him that way."

I look around me and hoped no one was listening. Nope. Everyone's just playing around noisely, minding their own fucking business in this colorful festival, while I'm trying to help a girl with her love for a guy who'll never age. I turn back to Isabelle.

"Well why are you asking me for help?!"

"Cause you know Simon best!"

That is an undeniable fact.

I sighed and began my advice, "Alright. Try to find a way to make the two of you alone. Take a walk in the forest, walk around the festival. Just the two of you. And just be yourself. Simon likes girls who won't lie to themselves. And add a little sense of humor. Simon loves laughing."

She sighed, "Alright but should I tell him that I like him of should I just let him figure it out on his own?"

"Do a little of both. Maybe like tell him you like someone and then when he asks who, just lean forward and kiss him."

"What?! Just randomly kissing Simon?! But that's so awkward!"

"But it will let him know how much you love him. Besides Simon would obviously like someone like you. He was staring at you the first time he saw you at the Institute. C'mon Isabelle Lightwood."

She bit her lip to think a moment and then finally responded, "Alright I'll do that. Thanks, Clary."

She ran off to look for him and then I smiled. Jace appeared beside me and was looking at the same direction with two glasses of daquiri in his hand.

"What did Izzy want?" he asked.

I look at him, but he still looked in the same direction as he was already sucking the strow of his refreshment, and I took one daquiri from his hand, saying, "She wants to tell Simon she likes him and came to ask me for advice."

Jace almost choked on his drink and then removed the straw from his mouth while finally looking at me, panting, "Izzy likes Simon?!"

I chuckled, "Yes."

"She hasn't liked someone since she was 10! How could she like a nerd like Simon?"

"Hey," I whapped his arm with the back of my hand, "Don't insult someone who's practically my brother!"

"But it is kinda true."

I rolled my eyes and just drank the daquiri. It was a very tangy flavor. With a blend of strawberry and a little mango with crushed ice. Not very bad. We stood in silence until Jace broke it.

"Let's head back to my house. I saved my room for just the two of us tonight."

I rolled my eyes. Jace the perverted idiot. He chuckled and then used his hand to turn my head, kissing me. I widened my eyes in surprise, dropping my glass of half finished daquiri, hearing the glass break into a million pieces and kissed Jace back. The tangy flavor of his pinapple daquiri blended with my strawbery one, creating a rich flavor. His soft lips grinded on mine, pushing the kiss even further. I finally realized we were in a public area and broke our kiss. Jace looked at me puzzled.

"Let's get a room or alley or...just somewhere more private."

Jace formed a smile on his lips and then grabbed my hand pulling me as he rushed to find the nearest alley where we could finally make out, and then we'll top it off at his house. When we reached the alley, we gasped simultaneously and saw Magnus and Alec making out. They finally saw us and looked at us. Magnus with a calm expression, and Alec with an awkward look. I kinda had the same as Alec's while Jace was like Magnus' just a little more dissappointed. We stared at each other in complete silence until Magnus broke it.

"Sorry, this place is taken."

He takes Alec's face and faces it towards him and smashed their lips together again to continue. I don't know why, but I feel fine making out with someone but I feel completely awkward when I see other people making out right in front of me. Jace sighed and took my hand to pull me away from there.
