Demons and Lovers
He looked at her in disbelief, "What was that for!"
She looked at him evenly, "For what you said yesterday, I don't want your apology."
"Clary, please. I was just upset about not being able to fight, please," he sounded almost close to tears.
"No, I don't care. I'm done with your drama, Jace Herondale. This is just stupid, as if you could ever like me. Talk to me again and you're going to regret it," she said with a dark look on her face, then stormed away.
Jace was left in the dust as she walked away. Tears threatening to spill onto his cheeks. He furiously wiped them away. How could I have been stupid enough to say that, he thought to himself, now it's done, she'll never talk to me again. He hung his head sadly and walked slowly to his room, place a hand on his gauzy stomach. It felt like a hole had been punch through it. It hurt like hell as he walked to his room and laid down on his bed. He sobbed without tears the rest of the morning, finally falling asleep though he wasn't tired.
Clary instantly felt bad as she walked away from Jace. She turned around after a moment and found him gone. She ate breakfast then went to his room. The door was shut like usual, she pressed her ear to the door. She heard a gasping for breath, then sobbing. He hand flew to where her heart would be, oh Jace, she thought, I'm so sorry. Of course, she continued, he wouldn't talk to me now. Not after what I said.
She leaned onto the wall and slid down to the floor. Hugging her knees to her chest and crying into her knees.
She finally stood up and wiped her eyes. She walked over to the door again and heard nothing. She pushed it open silently and looked around to where Jace's bed was. He was sleeping. She walked quietly over to the side of the bed and knelt down, looking at his face. It was red, like he had been crying, but Clary knew that he would never do that. She looked to his desk beside his table and grabbed a black marker. She uncapped it and slowly wrote on Jace's forehead. She smiled and set down the marker and left the room.
She went to one of her classes after seeing Jace; Herbology. Jace was absent for the rest of the classes that day and training that night. Clary trained with Alec and beat him twelve out of thirteen times. She was now showering in the bathroom in her room. She had a few scrapes so she drew and iratze on her arms. She dried her hair and put on the clothes that were sitting on the counter by the shower. She left the bathroom and went down to meet Isabelle, they were going to get something to drink downtown.
"Ready?" Isabelle asked her as Clary met her at the bottom of the stairs.
"Let's go," Clary said and then they left.
JACE
Jace pushed his hair off of his face as he paced his room. He was waiting for Clary to leave with Isabelle. He couldn't face her, not after what happened. He looked down at his hand, it was black. Shocked he went to the mirror in the bathroom and looked at his forehead.
I LOVE U! And I'm sorry. Please forgive me? -Clary
That threw him into a fit of laughter, causing his chest to hurt like hell. He stop laughing, but couldn't stop that goofy ass grin from creeping onto his face. She had came into his bedroom and wrote all over his forehead because she knew that he wouldn't come out of his bedroom. He pulled out a camera he used once a year or so and took a picture of his forehead with him grinning like a fool.
Jace left the bathroom after washing off the marker. He used the black marker and wrote something else on his forehead, now he was sitting on the steps waiting for Clary to come back with Isabelle.
CLARY
Clary laughed with Isabelle as they walked back to the Institute with coffee in hand. "Seriously! He said that?" Clary laughed.
"Yea, it was so funny," Isabelle smiled and then Clary opened the door to the Institute and walked inside. They went up the elevator and Clary took one last drink of her coffee. She went over to the stairs and Isabelle went to the kitchen leaving Clary. She turned to look up the staircase and Jace was sitting on one of the stairs, sleeping. She looked to his forehead where he message no longer was, but a message of his own.
YES!
She smiled, and sat beside his sleeping form on the stairs. "Hey," she said softly. She put her hand lightly on his shoulder and shook his a bit. His eyes opened sleepily. He looked right to her face. "Yes," he said softly.
"Good to hear," Clary whispered back, then she kissed him.
They broke apart when Isabelle screamed, "Clary! Would you two stop sucking faces for a moment! We've got a demon downtown right near the coffee shop! Come on!"
Clary broke away from Jace and started down the stairs. He followed her into the weapons room. Isabelle or Alec weren't in there yet. It looked like Jace was trying to get on gear. She grabbed his hand tightly. "Jace," she whispered, "you can't."
He looked extremely embarrassed and stopped whatever he was doing. His face and ears turned beat-red. She felt bad for him and again pressed her lips against his, hoping to dull the embarrassment he felt.
It worked, as soon as she continued to get dressed his face was no longer red with embarrassment, just happiness. She smiled at him and then Alec and Isabelle came in and started running around to get ready. Jace helped Clary, giving her seraph blades and what-not to attach to her belt. She put her thigh sheath on and stuck another blade in there. Jace winked at her and she smacked him playfully on the arm.
"Gross," muttered Isabelle, while Alec just shook his head, smirking.
"Ready?" Clary asked.
"Yep!" Isabelle and Alec said together. Clary kissed Jace once more and they left to go kill something, not knowing what awaited them there.
