Chapter Seven
Magnus and Clary were inseparable after that night, he had stayed home with her the next day instead of going to school, and he knew that she was not ready to face everyone yet. Simon had called several times and left messages but Clary did not want to talk with him especially after he mentioned Izzy in one of the messages.
"Biscuit you are just assuming that he told the Lightwoods about your past "Magnus had been trying to reason with Clary about the whole Simon issue for over an hour and he was not having any luck, none at all.
"Mags don't you dare take up for him I heard it in his voice I know I heard it, the traitor is what he is. Simon was lost to me the moment Izzy walked through those school doors" Clary huffed shrugging her shoulders.
Though Magnus was trying to take baby steps with Clary he knew that he needed to explain to her that in life you can have more than one person in it. "Clary I need you to listen to me for a minute okay" Magnus had stood up from the couch in Clary's living room and walked up to where she was currently pretending to dust the TV. Clary turned toward Magnus without hesitation he realized and he enjoyed knowing that she was not careful around him any longer. Magnus carefully put his hands on her small shoulders and bent down so his eyes were level with hers "Just because Simon may or may not have feelings for Izzy does not change the fact that he cares deeply for you too. It's like me Clary I love you and I will always be here for you but that doesn't mean that I won't fall in love with someone else too." Magnus stood back up straight but kept complete eye contact with Clary to try and decipher what she was thinking. Quickly he wanted to slap himself for being so bold with her because as he watched her he began to notice tears welling up in her eyes.
"Biscuit Biscuit listen I shouldn't have said that plea" Magnus was cut off from his rambling apology by a tight hug from Clary.
Magnus peaked down at his little red head as she held tightly to him; he hugged her back and waited for her to make the next move.
After a few moments Clary stepped back wiping off the remaining tears sighing "No one has told me that they love me since before my mother died"
Magnus could not speak as he stood there gaping at Clary, surely someone has told her how wonderful she is, how she brightens up the room, that loving her was as easy as breathing. That Simon kid has to love Clary Magnus thought.
As if reading his thoughts Clary spoke quietly "Simon has never told me that Mags not once, I think maybe he thinks I will take it the wrong way"
Magnus saw that Clary needed not just a friend but she needed a guardian almost, someone to help her guide her throughout life and as if struck by lightning he jumped up and grabbed Clary up off the ground and started twirling her in the air.
Clary could not help but laugh as she was spinning in the air grant it she had no clue what came over Mags but she really did not care, he made her feel like a kid again.
Finally Magnus put Clary down and looked over at her with a stern expression "Now I have made an important decision and I need you to be on board with it Biscuit okay" Clary just nodded encouraging him to continue "Clary I was serious when I said I love you because I do, you have this magnetic pull and I noticed the very first day we met and now here I am totally devoted to you. "Magnus snuck a peak at her before he continued; this time no tears were falling instead Clary had a gigantic smile on her face, she was glowing. "Clary I am telling you this because I want to be in your life more as you best friend I want to be something much more."
"Mags what the hell" Clary had went from smiling to throwing her hands above her head with a very shocked expression on her face "I thought you said you were gay, I love you too Mags but I just can't"
"Biscuit what are you talking about" then Magnus repeated the words he had used over in his head and it clicked "Oh Clary NO that is not what I meant for it to sound like I was just trying to tell you I wanted to be your family, brother so to say" Magnus let the words rush out with frustration visible on his face.
Clary started laughing, she continued to laugh that she had to bend over and grab her legs to keep from falling "Oh Mags I'm sorry I overreacted" Clary finally said once she had stopped laughing. Then with a serious expression she walked over and stretched up on her tip toes and kissed Magnus on the cheek and whispered in his ear "I would love to have such a fabulous brother to take care of me"
Magnus was beaming as he grabbed Clary's hand pulling her towards the door without looking to see how she was dressed "Mags what where are we going" Clary was clearly confused as Magnus pulled her over to his 2014 bright yellow Mustang. As he helped her sit down in the passenger side he looked at her with a mischievous grin and chuckled "Just remember I am now and always will be your brother and as your wise and older brother I am telling you that your clothes are hideous therefore we are headed out for a makeover." Magnus was squealing with joy as he started up his car and pulled out of her driveway. Clary looked at Mags and just sighed knowing that she was done for.
Magnus spent that entire afternoon taking Clary from shopping store to shopping store and Clary hated it but kept her mouth shut because she was truly excited that someone was actually spending time with her for her. The entire day Magnus rambled about since this was Friday they would have the entire weekend to get her new look ready before school on Monday. Clary did not know what she was more terrified of the makeover or returning to school.
