My dear little broccolis💚💚💚
~ Okay, so I have a little challenge for you. This story is already finished in my head. It will contain exactly 18 CHAPTERS. Maybe an epilogue, but don't count on it. Now, if anyone can tell me why, well that person can ask me anything they'd like for any story, and I will honestly answer to them. But you have to know, why 18 chapters. If no-one does, next chapter, I will drop an hint 😉
Love, Mina. 💚💚💚

Chapter 4: Really, What Just Happened? (1,4K)
.~°~. .~°~. .~°~.
Jace's PoV.
As the sun rises its pick, I get inside the Morgenstern house, not really surprised to see it empty. Like I said, Clary is always somewhere with Magnus, doing God knows what; and today Jon is seeing some girl. Kirsty, Maia or whoever is banging today.
This is probably why I hate summer holidays, even more when I'm single. I have literally nothing to do. I mean, it's already bad enough that I'm not spending this family moment with my own family (you know, those parents that are never here), but it's even worst when you have nothing to do. I have nothing to do, or become stupid by watching TV.
And I actually choose the later, because I've been thinking way too much lately. Thinking of Clary and this weird situation the two of us are in. It's been a month ever since the kiss, two weeks ever since her ridiculous question of getting a boyfriend, and we barely exchanged a single word that isn't courtesy. I mean, it got to the point that we even avoid staying in the same room, if it isn't for eating.
And the worst thing that I thought could happened, happened. Jon noticed. He's not stupid, she's his sister, and I'm his best friend, so of course he noticed. I mean, Clary and I always teases each other for the stupidest reasons, and now, we barely talk to one another, like Jon pointed out several times to me. It is clear that he is suspicious of something between us. But I brushed it off, saying that Clary is probably in one of her 'girl' periods during which she usually ignores us before becoming once again the girly tomboy that we know and adore.
I wish I could actually talk to Clary and settle this thing between us, but I can't. I'm not stupid, and I won't play coy or dumb. I know what my body wants. And I know that a part of me, as a person, and not just ragging hormone, wants it too. I want Clary in my bed, but I also want to hold her hand in the streets as we go see a movie together.
But … Jon. I can't. I simply can't do that to Jon. I know that he already got in the fight with Jordan a few months ago, because the guy just considered asking Clary out. So he will not hesitate to kill me for looking at his sister the way I do, when he's nit looking; and for betraying his trust as well. I am more than just a school lad, I am his brother, like he said many many times … I just can't think or look at Clary the way I do.
As I am killing my braincells with stupid reality TV shows, I suddenly hear a muffled cry coming from upstairs, which startles me. I was persuaded to be the only one in the house. With curiosity, I go upstairs, using my ears to guide me, and opening every door that I encounter. When it comes to Clary's, I do the same, without hesitation; and when its opened, I wish that I hadn't. Or at least that I had knocked.
There, is Clary laying on her bed, completely naked, with a naked guy on top of her that I immediately recognise as Magnus. The Korean immediately rolls on the side when he hears me open the door; and for five long and interminable seconds, we all stare at each other in shock. When the shock is slightly downed, I close the door and lean against the wall next to Clary's door, my brows strongly knotted together.
I do my best to not overthink what I just witnessed, hearing Magnus getting dressed in a hurry and taking with Clary in hushed whispers; when the door bursts open, revealing Magnus. The two of us stare at one another for a few seconds, me keeping for myself what I want to do or say to him; and then I shrug and make my way back to the living room.
For ten minutes, I focus with too much ardour on the TV, giving too much attention on whatever is going on with the crazy people on that show; and finally, I hear Magnus leaving the house. But still, I don't move, even when I can clearly feel Clary's angry eyes on my back, forcing her into this weird silence that we were in ever since I opened this damn door.
"You have a problem with gay people. Why can't you leave gay people to the gays?" I point out, wondering why she always manages to do sexual things with the gayest people of school.
I mean, Alec, and now Magnus! Magnus who is so gay that George Takei sounds straight next to him! He wears pink and glitter for heaven's sake! Never in my life I would have thought that the two of them would have ended up having sex! I mean … Clary isn't supposed to have sex! Especially with Magnus! Clary is … not supposed to have sex!
"Didn't you ever hear of the word 'knocking'?! My room is not Central Station for you to come and go as you please!" Clary snaps, clearly not focussing on the right thing here. Like the fact that I just found her gay best friend on top of her naked self!
I slightly turn my head so we can look at each other in the eye, and I ask her: "What happened to Magnus being too gay to function?"
"First of all, Magnus is not gay, he's bisexual. It's not because he likes girls stuff that it obligatory put him in the gay category. Second, did you just quote Mean Girls?"
"Besides the point. Why was your best friend on top of you? Naked?!" I ask her, because no matter Magnus's sexuality, he is still Clary's best friend. Never would I have considered doing what they did with Jon! So why were the two of them in that unspeakable position?!
Clary looks down on her shoes, her face torn with that expression that I know so well. It's the face she has when she wants to tell me something, but that she fears that my friendship with Jon might ge in the way. And so, like every time she's had this expression, I just waited for her to open to me, like she always does.
"I trust him. I trust him to take care of me properly for my first time."
"This was your first time, and you had it with your gay best friend!?" I cry out, my eyes popping out of their sockets. Clary glares at me, before cursing me to the Seven Hells and storming out of the room.
Without thinking about it for even a second, I rush behind her, grabbing her arm to make her spin and face me, and get more informations out of her: "Why didn't you just wait for your someone, or whatever?"
"Because he's the kind of stupid person who says whatever when he's talking about my 'someone'!" Clary shoots back, her green emeralds steady on my eyes and waiting for me to fully understand her words.

~ So what was your favourite part of this chapter?
1. Haha, Jace quotes Mean Girls! Can you believe this.
2. What do you think will be Jace's reaction?
3. Yes, Clary decided to have her first time with Magnus, because like she said, she trusted him to not hurt her, and do it properly. What did you think of that? What are your thoughts on the concept in general?
Anyway, Cassandra Clare owns the names of the characters from the Mortal Instruments franchise, everything else is mine.
