A Clace Fanfiction

Clary was ripping clothes out of the wardrobe in her and Jace's bedroom in Magnus' old apartment. "Why can't I just find one dress I can wear to see The Consul?!" Jace could clearly see that was fretting- he slipped out of the room and picked up a single bag he'd hidden in one of the other bedrooms.

"You know," he said in a clearly seductive voice, "That I was saving this for when we got to the manor." Clary gingerly took the bag and opened it up revealing a silky emerald green gown resembling the colour of her eyes.

"Jace, you really have to stop spoiling me like this-"

"If I stop, you have to stop as well." He replied gesturing to the shimmering Herondale ring sitting snugly on his left ring finger- it sparkled in the light of the room; as were his incredible eyes, a dark golden colour like caramel, they were a couple of shades lighter than his skin tone because it was the middle of summer, almost two years since the couple had met. Jace's hair was the brightest thing in the room; glinting in the sunlight, he looked like a lion in the light of the room.

She couldn't believe that she was his. The couple were now inseparable; Clary was finally allowed to move out of her moms and Luke's apartment a year after the boy with the green eyes death. She remembered the first time she had set her eyes on him two years ago in the Pandemonium thinking he looked perfect- before he killed the demon that let her and Simon in the club.

As soon as she realised it, he was walking over to the bed and kissing the back of her neck; his kisses travelled up and around her neck. He stood up as she turned around. Clary had grown quite a lot since her mom's wedding but Jace was still a good head or two taller than her. He was so gentle with her keeping on asking her if she wanted to do this. She started to fumble with the buttons on her shirt when there was a sharp knock on the door and a voice.

"I don't even want to know what's going on in there but open the door so we can come in!" They both looked at each other knowing instantly who it was- Magnus.

Clary quickly redid the two buttons he undid and walked quickly to the door.

"SURPRISE!" all of her friends yelled as she entered the room, they were all bearing an assortment of gifts. She gave Jace a confused look and he returned it.

"What are you all doing here?" he exclaimed.

"Well, we all thought we could see you off." Alec, Jace's parabati replied.

"We haven't finished packing yet though. So you'll just have to wait." Clary remarked.

"Come on Clary, I'll help you finish. Let the boys catch up." Izzy said striding to the bedroom, Clary saw Jace's look out of the corner of her eye. It was sort of a look of good luck and please don't let her pack me anything completely outrageous.

"So have Luke and Jocelyn said yes yet?" Simon whispered to Jace as soon as Clary was out of the room.

"I'm working on it," Jace replied. He felt the weight of everyone's eyes on him- looks of bemusement, surprise and amazement. "What are all the gifts for anyway?" He asked trying to change the topic of conversation.

"They are for after dinner. Or for Clary's Birthday." Simon said the last comment with a wink.

"Can we just change the topic please?" he said sounding clearly annoyed."

"So Alec, Magnus how was the travelling?" Simon asked politely noting Jace's irritation.

"Urmmm… It's good, we really miss New York though."

"Izzy what's with all the clothes- we're only going away for three days!"

"Come on Clary, you need to be practical. You need your gear, comfy clothes, casual clothes and the dress Jace gave you, ooh and you also need your weapons."

"Let's just finish the packing," Clary said quickly to stop Izzy from rambling "One sec, just need to ask Jace what he wants to wear to the dinner." said Clary just as she started walking towards the door.

"Jace," spoke Clary as she walked towards the group and sat on Jace's knee "What do you want to wear to the dinner?" she asked.

"You choose, remember to make me look beautiful in it, but NO TIES." He replied in a joking way. He leaned up to kiss her a butterfly touch of lips but resulted in something a little more.

"Geez, get a room you two." Alec remarked as Jace shot him a look of complete annoyance.

"See you in a minuet then, Handsome. Love you." She whispered into his ear but unfortunately loud enough for Simon to hear.

"Love you too, Sweetie Pie." He whispered back as she walked back to the bedroom.

Simon, who must've heard the conversation was smirking and spluttered "Hello Handsome." In a 'sexy' over exaggerated voice. With that Jace reddened with embarrassment.

Jace replied to Simon in a snarky sort of way; "At least it isn't as bad as you and your fair maiden, Lord Montgomery."

As soon as Jace had said it, Alec jumped up off of the sofa, stalked across the room to Simon and spoke, "I don't even want to know the things you are doing with my sister- Fairchild, but please stop with the Shakespeare."

Magnus, had been unusually quiet whilst this was happening but spoke softly to Alec when he had sat back down "You are being a little bit unfair Alec." Just as Alec had flushed there was a shout from the bedroom Clary and Izzy were packing in.

"Finished!" shouted the two girls who were lugging two massive suitcases from the bedroom.

"I don't even want to know how much you've packed, but why do we need so much stuff?"

"Well, I thought we could go to Paris and London as well as Idris. Plus, the second case is full of weapons, witchlights and some of my art supplies." Clary replied, "I thought that we could go to London since both of our families were brought up there."

"You know me so well you can read me like a book, a handsome, sexy and loving book." Jace replied. Clary laughed softly as Jace came over to her and wrapped her in his arms. Whilst he did this Magnus and Isabelle gave a small sigh..

"I guess we should get back to the Institute now- the Clave will be expecting you soon, Clary could you make the portal?" Magnus asked.

"Sure, but what happened to you creating one?" She asked in return.

"I'm really tired after creating the one for myself and Alec in Chicago; it took up a lot of my energy." Clary nodded her had in approval and grabbed her stele from her weapons belt, quickly making a pattern of lines on a wall directing them to the institute. Alec picked up the first suitcase and walked through the portal; Magnus and Izzy following, then Simon following them through leaving Clary and Jace in the apartment alone. Clary grabbed two sets of keys off the counter- one for Amatis' house, one for the apartment and one for The Herondale Manor. Jace locked up the front door, picked up the remaining suitcase and followed Clary through the portal as it closed behind him.
