"Clare-Bear I just….. Jace is suspicious. It's odd. We do coupley things, like cheek kisses. But we've never done anything serious. Like, not sex, sorry but nope, I choose dick. But like, I dont know. Maybe just kiss. Or make out. Those were Magnus' ideas." Alec said worriedly.

He had dragged Clary off, Izzy sending a wink in Clary's direction. "Well….. Give me a hickey?" Clary asked, her tone awkward.

Allec froze up and looked into her green eyes. He was staring into the eyes of his 'girlfriend' who had asked him to give her a hickey. But he couldnt. I mean, he knew he was gay. But even Magnus would give Clary a hickey.

Alec knew Clary was beautiful. He also knew Jace liked Clary. He could see the way Jace flinched whenever Alec kissed Clary. He also saw the way that Jace's eyes stared at Clary's chest today. She had on a pushup bra and a tight shirt, which would have boned him if he wasnt gay.

"Ok…." He said. He slowly lowered his lips onto her neck. Her skin was soft and smelled like Izzy. Clary's vein throbbed underneath his lips. He softly bit her skin and sucked. She made a soft noise.

He pulled his face from her neck. "What?" He asked, confusion in his eyes. Clary grabbed his hair.

"Make it believable. I'm going to knock over things, and I'll moan and say Alec." She tugged his head back to her neck. She knocked over a bowl of complimentary mints.

"ALEC!" She screamed out in a hoarse voice. She started panting loudly. He giggled a bit into her neck.

He pulled from her neck.

He had left a sizeable hickey there.

It was odd. He could barely give Magnus hickeys. But with clary they were big and red. Probably because his relationship with Magnus, and his fake one with Clary would be done if he couldnt do it.

Clary opened the door and walked out of the family bathroom they had gone into.

Izzy was standing next to Jace. Izzy had a sly look on her face. Jace's expression was pained. He looked as if he was hurt when he saw Alec and Clary walk out of the bathroom.

Izzy and Jace saw the hickey on Clary's neck. Izzy gave a thumbs up, and a very loud wolf whistle. Jace looked genuinely hurt. His gold eyes were filled with pain. He clutched his chest slightly.

Alec felt bad, but what could he do? 'Dump' Clary? And risk him and Magnus getting out, now way in hell!

"C'mon Clare. Lets go buy you something sexy. Lets get you a dress so hot Alec will rip it off with his teeth." Izzy said and dragged Clary away.

Alec heard Clary shriek "EWWW Izzy! He's your brother!" Izzy's loud laugh rang out, and Clary's laugh joined in. Jace still was slouched in the corner. His eyes were trained on the floor.

"C'mon, lets get you something for your date." Jace spat out date like it was poison.

"Although she deserves better than a cheating bastard like yourself." He heard Jace mumble softly. Jace walked two steps in front of him and stayed silent. He was fuming, very obviously.

Alec stayed quiet and just kept following Jace.

"Jace…" Alec said. Jace slight sighed.

"What?" He stopped and turned. Jace's golden eyes were angry, sad, and jealous.

"Do, do…. Nevermind. Forget it." Alec suddenly lost his courage.

Although he was dating Magnus it was still hard for Alec to talk to his Adoptive Brother. Alec had had a crush on him for years until he met Magnus. But that didnt mean it was any easier talking to the arrogant menace.

"What?" Jace said in a slightly less annoyed tone. His brotherly instincts were kicking in.

"Well…." Alec made a split second decision. "I think I don't love Clary, and I think the she may feel the same way. But I still dont want to dump her. She's my bestfriend and I couldn't do that."

Jace's eyes bugged, and his jaw tightened. He cracked his knuckles and bit his tongue.

Jace wanted to swing so hard he broke Alec's nose. Why? Because he wanted what Alec had.

He didnt even love her as much as Jace did and he still got her. He got to kiss her. And hug her. And leave hickeys on her. And sleep with her. And he got to make her happy when she was sad. And Jace wanted to be the one to do all that.
