"Jace, I'm clearly the better looking here. I bet even Alec fancies me, I'm just that fabulous."

Alec ran into the room, clutching the Shadowhunter's Codex to his chest and blushing a bright red. "ISABELLE. WHAT THE HELL? I DO NOT LIKE YOU. FOR ONE, YOU'RE MY SISTER. TWO-"

Jace's eyes roll towards the heavens. "Alec -by the angel- please stop squeaking. You are not a dolphin. And besides, we all know it's me you like anyway... besides, last time I was informed, you played for the other team. Magnus is proof enough."

"YOU ARROGANT ASSHOLE!" Alec runs out the room, glowing scarlet spluttering insults under his breath. In his haste to escape his siblings, The Shadowhunter Codex drops to the floor behind him. Alec -keen to escape- ignores it.

"ALEXANDER THAT'S PUNISHABLE BY DEATH!" Despite Jace's warning, the older boy doesn't turn around to pick up the codex. Alec is too far away to even hear... or care for that matter.

"Oh, the splendors of youth. Hey Iz, what do you think he's up to now?" Jace winks at Izzy just as Simon walks into the room, clutching hold of something resembling a capri-sun.

Alerted by Simon's slurping, Jace's head snaps towards Simon. "Hey bloodsucker- what are you even doing inside the Institute? You're damned."

"Yeah, well... so is your mom."

Isabelle shakes her head in exasperation and raises a delicate hand up to her face. "Simon, honey. I'm sorry about this: but that has to be the worst insult ever. Ever, Simon!"

"Yeah? Well... Whatever." Coughing to hide his awkwardness, Simon turns back around to Jace. "Jace, here's a idea: I AM THE DAYLIGHTER. That may or may not give you a hint..."

"I have to say... it doesn't."

"Oh, in the Angels name... BOYS." Isabelle stomps her way in between Jace and Simon and snaps her fingers. "Stop bickering! We have bigger problems to solve! Simon-" With that, Isabelle whirls around to face Simon (like a graceful swan, Simon'll recall later), fluttering her long eyelashes at him. Simon gulps and prepares to step back slightly.

"Who, in your opinion... is the better looking? Me or Jace?" Still fluttering at him, Isabelle leans forward slightly and slowly licks her lips. When Simon's full, undivided attention is on her, she winks. Simon can barely control his self.

"Er- y-you, obviously you, Leia- ISABELLE. Isabelle."

"HA!" Isabelle straightens up and begins dancing around Jace, occasionally poking him in the ribs. "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!"

"Simon." Jace walks over to Simon slowly, and brings his arms up to hug him. Isabelle looks at Jace in disbelief... did that just really happen?

"Jace, what the-"

Simon," Jace repeats, staring at Simon deep into his eyes with his arms still wrapped around, his own eyes smoldering. "You've made me sad. I know life must be so hard being visually impaired. I mean, I know you're a vampire and all, but you should seriously consider wearing your glasses..."


So, this is one of my re-writes of one of my TMI fics I wrote back in 2011. Hopefully, it just flows a little better now since I've done this at 4am in the morning..
