Chapter 1-My Chuckles.

"Don't you just love home movies" Jace said, laughing as he pulled Clary closer to him.

It was a Saturday night and they had decided to snuggle on the couch and watch embarrassing home movies from when they were little.

"Oh yes. I just love watching you and me making complete fools of ourselves on tape." Clary said sarcastically.

"Aw come on Chuckles...You have to admit it's very cute" He said, laughing again " I mean just look at you. Your hair was so curly and whenever I tried to brush it and make it straight it just went even more curly! And me, well, let's just say that I have always been pretty sexy."

"You have always been pretty cocky about it too from what I remember" She said.

Chuckles. The nickname he had given her when they were just two years old. He had been attempting to say Clarissa but it came out like "chuckles" or at least that's what it sounded like. From then on she was Chuckles. He had discovered when they were older that it was actually the perfect nickname for her, because she was always smiling and laughing.

He loved her smile. It was so bright and it lit her face up. He loved it so much that when he saw her smiling he couldn't help but smile too.

"Hey Chuckles...do you mind if I stay over tonight? I really couldn't be bothered going home" Jace asked.

"Nope not at all. As long as it's cool with your mum" Clary replied.

"Yeah I told her before I left that if I wasn't home by 11:00 then I was staying over"

"Alright cool" she said, smiling on the outside but on the inside doing hectic happy dances.

After the last home movie finished, Jace noticed that Clary was asleep. She was snuggled into his chest, just the way he liked it. It felt right. She looked even more beautiful when she slept. So peaceful.

He couldn't help but smile at just how adorable she looked. He didn't want to wake her but he knew he should because he didn't want his Chuckles to sleep uncomfortably.

"Chuckles" he whispered, shaking her slightly.

She moaned and her eyelids fluttered open.

"Chuckles, I think it's time for bed, don't you?" He asked.

"Hmm" she mumbled sleepily and closing her eyes again.

Knowing that she wasn't going to wake up again, he slowly sat up and then stood. He carried her into her room and gently placed her on the bed. He pulled the already made up mattress out from under her bed and set it on the floor next to her bed.

He pulled down the covers on her bed and proceeded to tuck her under them, very carefully.

When she was all tucked in and looked peaceful once again, he kissed the top of her head and whispered " Night Chuckles, love you".

Then he climbed under the covers of his mattress and drifted off into a deep sleep.
