Rosalie walked into what was probably her favourite room after the kitchen, the weapons room.
Jace in tow of course, he wondered what she would say to him.
Alec wondered over to the opposite side of the room, trying to be inconspicuous about leaving them 'alone'.
"Rosie." Jace murmured. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes." She said sharply, taking a deep breath "I'm fine."
"Why did you bring her here?" the pretty blonde carried on, with a look of frustration on her face.
"I couldn't just leave her there, I didn't know what else to do, I tried to think but I couldn't, I didn't know if she had relatives, I couldn't go to her little mundie friend either, you can't just walk down the street with a girl supposedly covered in her own blood down 5th avenue and not have some crazy New Yorker calling the police. I had no other choice Rose." Jace said
"There's always another choice Jace." Rosalie replied "sometimes it's hard to make, I know how spoilt I must sound right now, but do you know how terrified I felt when I woke up the first time?"
Jace shook his head.
"Yeah, that's right, you don't, because I'm always there when you wake up, from the comas from the nightmares, everything, you're always there for me and I'm always there for you. I thought something horrible had happened, I thought you were captured, even dead. And do you know what it all reminded me of? It reminded me of the cellar and of the little metal box I'd be locked in for days at a time for breaking the rules that- that- they laid down for us. I don't know why but it reminded me of that, because the last time I woke up without you, I was in the box, and could hear you screaming from upstairs whilst you went through the punishments that you had to go through because we broke one of the rules again, and only one of us could fit in the box." Rosalie whispered "I broke apart Jace."
"I-I-I I'm so sorry for putting you through that, I should've said no to Hodge when he told me to go and get her. You have to understand Rosie, he forced me to go and get her so that he could figure her out. Please Rose." He trailed off.
Rosalie's frown deepened.
"I've been thinking that there's something off about Hodge lately, I mean, a few days ago I walked into the library, and he was there muttering to Hugo, I couldn't hear him very well but I caught Valentine, Daughter, Fairchild scum and a couple of choice words about the Clave….." She trailed off.
Jace looked at Rosalie incredulously.
"Rose, we've known Hodge for seven years now, and he's known Isabelle, Alec and Max longer, and Maryse and Robert longer than that. He would never betray us." He replied strongly.
"Yeah….. Yeah I guess you're right I'm just being stupid." Rosalie said, not looking entirely convinced.
"So….. Am I forgiven?" said Jace, making ridiculous puppy dog eyes along with an equally hilarious pout that Rosalie couldn't help but laugh at.
"Of course my little puppy dog." she said with a smile, reaching up to ruffle his hair.
"WHOA- not the hair Rose, not the hair." He yelled, ducking under her arm smoothing out his gold curls and running towards the wall that Alec was by, studying some weapons that had been ruined by demons.
Of course this only made Rosalie more determined, and she ran in the same direction as Jace, who was now cowering behind Alec, who was currently laughing his head off.
She ran towards him, and he ran away in the opposite direction, his long strides doing him some justice, but not much, Rosalie had always been more flexible and agile than him, and with her smaller body she was incredibly fast, so she caught up in no time.
Rosalie leaped on him gracefully and the two rolled about until Jace's hair was fully and completely messed up, with his golden locks sticking out in every which direction and Rosalie was straddling him, leant over him, pinning his arms over his head, smiling like there was no tomorrow. Her silvery blonde hair had slipped from its braid and unravelled, leaving it hanging over her shoulders.
Soon enough they realised that they were incredibly close so close they could feel each others breath on their faces (luckily neither of them had morning breath.), and looking into each other's eyes. Gold into a strange icy blue and silver colour. With a look that you don't usually see on best friends when they are looking at each other. No. this look was filled with more than that, it was filled with-
A burst of laughter tore them apart. Alec was leaning on the wall, laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing, slowly sliding down the wall.
Rosalie released Jace slowly getting off of him and standing up, helping Jace up. They looked at each other with obvious mischievous intent in their eyes, both mirroring the others devilish grin.
They raced towards Alec.
A small thing that you don't know about Alec is that he is incredibly ticklish. Like, ridiculously ticklish.
Luckily this weakness left him in battle; during the euphoria he could barely feel anything, but it was fairly funny in the numerous practical jokes that Rosalie and Jace played on others around the institute.
They easily tackled him to the floor and started their evil torture on him.
It was pretty hilarious actually, watching this fearless Shadowhunter roll and writhe around on the floor in painful fits of giggles.
Finally, Rosalie let go of her worries for a bit, and had fun with two of her best friends.
