Afternoon Naps

Jace and Clary had taken a taxi to Central Park. They practiced a few simple moves because they didn't want to seem oddly strange to the rest of the mundane New Yorkers. Clary trained for hours on her fighting. They now sat under a shaded tree. It was mid-afternoon and the sun was beating down on them. They had been enjoying lunch together while Clary rested against him. Before he realized it Clary had fallen asleep. Her petite body was snuggled against his chest. Her light hand was gently gripping his thin tee shirt. Jace placed his warm hand over hers, and held it closer to him. He could feel her chest heave up and down against him as she breathed softly. Jace looked down at her for while. Her red hair fell in her face. With a light caress he pushed it away. He saw the Morgenstern ring on the chain around her neck. Jace noticed she had never taken it off. Ever. He had given it to her to show how much he loved her. He suddenly saw Clary begin to stir. Her green eyes slowly blinked open. She looked up at Jace in a daze.

"Did I fall asleep?" She asked.

"Like a baby." He smiled.

"I'm sorry. I know I need to train. Let's go." She began to get up but Jace pulled her back down to him.
"No, let's just stay here for a while." He said kissing her forehead.

"You okay?" Clary slightly laughed.

"I've never been better." He held Clary with his arms wrapped tightly around her. She pressed into his chest.

"I love you." He whispered into her ear, with a light kiss on her cheek. Clary didn't move.

"I love you too."
