Potential FINAL CHAPTER ALERT GUYS! This all depends on your reactions to this chapter.
I have written an additional Chapter where Jace & Clary go all the way but it's about 7000 words long! Haha it took me a while to get it all down and edit as it's been a while since I have written anything like that.
I hope you enjoy this chapter and see the authors note at the end for my questions about how to proceed!
Enjoy!
"Let me do the talking Red." Jace says as they re-enter the room.
Izzy and Simon are locked in a full on make out session when they walk in but all heads turn including theirs. They disentangle themselves from each other and turn their full attention to the couple standing before them.
They were still holding hands. Seelie's mouth dropped open when she saw this.
"So we kind of left you to it." Seelie says in a nonchalant tone.
Everyone is staring and Clary's face was burning.
"You don't have to touch him anymore Clary!" Sebastian calls out understandably confused by the sight before him
Clary grins and looks over at Jace who is smirking.
"She's my girlfriend now you absolute moron," Jace states as if it's a matter of fact and Sebastian is the biggest idiot in the world for not knowing it.
Sebastian mouth falls open in an O of shock. Suddenly the room around them is frenzied with conversation.
"And if any guy in this room even thinks about touching her I will personally break your legs." He says in an eerily calm voice.
"Jace!" Clary cries out embarrassed.
"I'm serious Clarissa, if anyone so much as looks at you I will hurt them," he says leaning in to kiss her on her nose, "you're my girlfriend now, you should get used to this possessive level of jealousy because it's only going to get worse."
She swats him away and he grins at her not caring about anyone else in the room.
He kisses her again but this time very theatrically dipping her low and pulling her back up with a flourish. It is definitely for the benefit of the audience in front of them. Clary knows this and is slightly amused by it.
"About time Jace," Izzy says finally, "I thought I was going to have to lock you two away in an abandoned cabin."
"You knew?" Jace asked incredulously.
"Well I was going to wait for you to stop acting like an insane moron, but you were pretty obvious." Izzy says now standing in front of them.
Clary shakes her head in confusion. "I didn't think it was obvious."
"Well it wasn't obvious because you never spend any time with us anymore Clare, I've been begging you forever but you just couldn't seem to get past this rift." Izzy says in a matter of fact tone while smacking Jace over the head.
"What was that for?" Jace asks clutching his head clearly not amused.
"If you hurt her I will castrate you Jace." Izzy says in a menacing tone.
"I'm not going to hurt her Iz," he says seriously, "I've been an idiot but I can't live without her anymore."
"Speaking of hurting people," Izzy says suddenly looking very amused, "Who's going to tell Jon? Jon is going to kill you." She is giggling hysterically.
"Tell me what?" A voice behind them says. Everyone in the room has turned around and Jon has just sauntered in with an arm around Kaelie. Isabelle's laughter is cut short and she quickly retreats back to her seat.
Jace turns the colour of milk and Clary turns the colour of beetroot. He still has his arm around her but he is rooted to the spot.
"Jace, why is your arm around my little sister?" Jon asks confused, "…You … You … I'm going to kill you." He says finally catching on and stalking towards Jace.
Clary throws herself between them before any damage can happen.
"Hey, big brother." She says as sweetly as she can. Jace is holding on to her cowering behind as if she is a shield.
"Don't get involved Clary I told him to stay away from you… He's no good for you. He'll hurt you." Jon says looking at his sister seriously. He seems like he is genuinely trying to protect her.
"Jonny, it's hurting me more not being with him." She says smiling at him sadly. She moves so she's standing with Jace by her side.
"Kiss me Jace." She says turning to him.
"Are you trying to get me killed woman?" he asks incredulously.
"Maybe," she says grinning up at him, "Just shut up and kiss me."
He looks over at Jon and looks back at Clary as if he is suddenly weighing up pros and cons in his mind. And then a lightbulb goes off.
"Oh to hell with it." He says and leans down to kiss her. Clary deepens the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck.
When they come back up for air. Jon is looking at both of them with a curious expression.
"I didn't know you actually had real feelings for her man." He says finally after a pause, "I thought you just wanted to screw her."
"I mean…I still do want to…" he starts but Clary covers his mouth with her hand cutting him off.
"Shut up you idiot." She says laughing, "Quit while you're ahead."
"I'm trusting you with my little sister," Jon says finally looking relaxed enough to not punch Jace in the face, "If you hurt her I will castrate you."
"Don't worry Jon I've already threatened him with that." Izzy says from behind them.
"I am not liking all this talk of castration." He says sulkily.
"There there," Clary says patting him on the shoulder but she can't keep a straight face and bursts out laughing.
Suddenly everyone in the room around them is laughing including Jace and Jon. And the entire atmosphere has changed.
When the laughter finally dies down everyone is talking with each other and just having a general good time.
After an hour or so everyone begins to disperse when Jon basically tells them to get out and that the party is over.
Jace takes Clary's hand in his own and walks towards the door.
"Whoa, whoa, buddy," Jon says pulling Jace and Clary apart, "I think you and I need to have a little chat before you go anywhere with my sister, Seelie has been telling me about this game of Spin the bottle and what you two have been up to."
"Jon…" Clary starts sighing.
"Don't worry baby sister you'll get him back in one piece for the most part, I just need to set out some ground rules… You understand?" he says seriously but not with any hint of anger.
Clary looks over at him and Jace nods.
"Okay, but I want him back in one piece Jon that's non-negotiable." She says smiling at him.
"Fine, fine," he says smiling back at her, "You've been saved by your woman Jace, I hope you know how lucky you are to have her."
"Just give me one second, Jon." He says softly. He takes Clary back into his arms and kisses her softly. When he breaks away he looks down into her eyes and says, "I love you Clary Fray." It is the most serious she has seen him during this whole day.
"I love you too, Jace Lightwood." She says back smiling and she means it.
They both turn back to Jon and who has a shocked look on his face.
"I'll see you in a bit then," Jace says saluting her as he walks away with Jon.
"So…." A voice startles Clary from behind.
"…Tell me a little bit more about Simon Lewis," Izzy says linking her arm with Clary's.
"Izzy… you can't actually be serious." Clary says looking at her in confusion.
"Hey if Clary Fray & Jace Lightwood can get together after a couple of hours of making out, I think anything is possible." Izzy says smirking at her.
"I think we've just entered bizarro world…" Clary says walking out of the room with Izzy.
"He happens to look very cute without his glasses on Clary," Izzy says matter of factly, "And he's an excellent kisser…" she says her voice dropping in volume.
"Ew, Izzy, too much information…" Clary says looking slightly disgusted.
"No you and Jace mauling each other in the middle of a game of spin the bottle," Izzy says teasingly, "That was too much information."
"Okay, fine…" Clary says conceding, "He's my best friend Izzy, and if you hurt him I will sell your clothes on ebay." She says in an overly serious tone.
"That was uncalled for Clarissa, what if he hurts me." She says in a tone of mock hurt.
"Very unlikely…" Clary says and they both burst out laughing.
THE END ..
Maybe?
Okay guys so in terms of a very mature Jace & Clary chapter ...
Would you like to see it as a very long epilogue to this story?
Would you like it as a one shot in it's own right?
Would you like me to use it as the basis for a sequel?
I am all for each option although it is 7000 words so it would feel like too much for one chapter.
As usual please review, follow, favourite!
And do check out my other fic 'Sugar' which has a longer timeline than this one.
Also working on writing a 3rd fic ... Just started it but it's forming in my head but I do have a first chapter.
Thanks for all your support guys I really appreciate each and every one of you who has helped motivate me with his fic.
See you for now ... Until next weekend!
