They were laying in Jace's bed. She was wrapped in his arms with her head on his shoulder. They had made it home an hour ago and they had thrown themselves sown on the bed kissing. Surprisingly Jace had stopped them from going very far. He would only say that he had a surprise for her on her birthday and he was going to "save all the fun for then." Clary had frowned at him but had excepted it. She loved cuddling up with Jace.
"This is my favorite place to be." She whispered
"Being lazy in bed?" he chuckled as she smacked him on the chest.
"No. Just laying here with you. Without any big danger hanging over our heads. Just peaceful. I feel safe here." She turned and looked at him. His golden eyes were blazing. Without much warning he pulled her even closer and kissed her. His mouth soft and hard at the same time. She could feel the love in the kiss. It wasn't super passionate because he had one hand in her hair and one on her back.
"I love you Clary." He whispered when he pulled back.
Next Day
Clary woke in her bed. It was 8 am and she had training in a half an hour. Getting up she put on spandex black pants and a tank top. Her hair swished behind her as she walked to the kitchen. She stopped dead when she opened the door to Magnus and Alec kissing against the counter. She came to senses a second later backing out of the room and hit the door hard before opening it again. This time they couple was apart and Alec had a flush on his face. "Morning Clary." Alec said.
"So it seems." She smiled, "You training with us today?"
"Yep." Alec had moved in with Magnus a year ago. They were engaged but they hadn't been able to set a date. Clary could see the gleam of the Lightwood family ring on Magnus's ring finger.
"Good. Maybe you can keep Jace busy so I can keep it kind of light today."
"That might have worked if I wasn't standing right here." Clary jumped at Jace's voice.
"Come on. I would like to enjoy my birthday without being ridiculously swore."
"Not a possibility from what I hear." Magnus said just loud enough that Clary could hear.
"What?" she looked at Jace who was glaring at Magnus and Alec was shaking his head. "Is there something I need to know?"
"No" Jace said. He handed her a banana and said "Why don't you head to the training room and make sure Izzy's there. I'll be down in a minute."
She agreed but as soon as she was down the hall she could hear Jace's voice raised. She almost went back to check on him but decided it would probably be best if she didn't.
