"Ready to get it off?" She opened the door with a smile.

"Yeah." He walked in, kissing her cheek. "But at the same time kind of not."

She grinned, leading him up the familiar path to the ER floor.

She walked through the door they always found Sebastian in, him following her. And instantly was blinded. A blonde head was on her knees in front of him and he'd never get the look off of Sebastian's face again.

"Oh my God!" Clary turned and buried her head in Jace's chest. "My eyes! Again!"

Jace would have laughed if he wasn't to busy trying to distract himself from the horror he just saw. A girly shriek reached his ears.

"Clary." Sebastian started, sounding exasperated. "Don't you knock."

"It's a public room Sebastian." She shoved Jace outside. "Leave a sock on the door next time." It slammed behind them.

"I can see why he owes you now." He turned to look at her, laughing at her face. Her eyes were wide open, a terrified look on her face.

"Stop." She swatted his chest. "I freaking shake hands with him and talk to him and I'm going to throw up, she's the reason I'm always checking for STDs." She threw her hands up. "Come on." She started down the hall.

"Don't we need him?" He asked, confused.

"I'll ask someone else." She took him to a part of the hospital he had never been before. It was huge. "One minute."

She slipped into a door. He leaned against the wall, resting his head on the wall behind him. The biggest part of him was disgusted with what he had just witnessed, but now he was thinking of what it would be like if he was Sebastian and the head was full of red hair.

He snapped his eyes open, not letting his mind go there. She was different. And she was going to know that.

"Sorry." She came back out, beautiful as always. "He's going to meet us there when he can."

"Alright." He nodded, trying not to let his mind wander again. It was hard. He had never been so attracted to a girl. Not only was she possibly the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, but he was attracted to her personality too, something he had never really experienced before. He didn't have crushes in middle school. He didn't date in high school. He didn't settle down in college. It was all so new and all so great.

"You alright?" She asked, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah." He nodded, smiling slightly, trying not to think of her hands to much. It wouldn't do him any good.

"If you say so." She opened the door to the X-Ray room, sitting down on the table. He sat next to her.

"You know we never talked about payment."

Before she could say anything the door opened and a man walked in.

"Jem!" She exclaimed, getting up. "Thank you so much!"

"It's no problem." He shook his head with a smile. "Anything for my favorite red head."

She grinned, making Jace's stomach clench in protest. He kept his face neutral, this guy was doing him a favor. This was a new feeling to him too, being jealous.

"Jace," Clary motioned for him, "this is Jem, he's cool, Jem this is my friend Jace."

Friend. His heart squeezed. Since when was he such a girl.

"Hi." He waved his casted hand at Jem.

Jem nodded at him with a friendly smile, grabbing a pair of scissors to cut the cast off.

"How's it going Jace?" He asked, sitting in front of him.

"It's about to be a lot better."

Jen laughed, starting to cut through the cast. "Broken bones suck, but they heal."

Jace nodded, not sure of what to say. He didn't like people he didn't know, something that made people think he was intimidating. Everyone used to tell him he'd make a great detective because of it, they'd all be scared of him.

"Alright." Jen took the cast off. "Put your arm like this." He demonstrated, putting a board under the X-Ray with stickers so they'd know what was what on the x-rays.

"All done." He called after the the third one.

"Thanks." Clary said, taking the boards to go process them. "Owe you one."

"Please." Jen snorted. "After all you did for me, I could never repay you."

"What are friends for."

"Exactly." He winked, walking the opposite direction as them. "See you around Clare."

"Thanks again." She called back, slipping the x-rays in the machine.

"How's it feel?" She asked him.

"Good." He flexed his hand. "It's just stiff right now."

"That's a good sign." She pulled the processed x-rays out.

She placed them on the view box, eyes darting back and forth on it.

"Verdict?" He asked, leaning back on his hands on the bed he say on. It felt normal albeit a little stiff.

"Looks good." She turned towards him, holding out her hand. He instantly gave it to her. "It's almost completely healed. Would you mind if I wrapped it, you can just cut it off for your shoot?" She asked, biting her lip as she put pressure on different parts of his arm.

"Not at all." He moved their hands so their fingers overlapped. "Thank you for everything."

She smiled,"No problem at all."

His other hand grabbed her hip, pulling her closer still. "I don't know how I'll ever repay you."

"I'm sure you can think of something." She grinned cheekily.

He grinned, pushed his head up and pressed his lips to hers. They were soft against his, moving as soft as his were. It was short. He was smiling to wide to kiss her properly. He pressed his smile against her lips once and than twice more before pulling back.

His eyes fluttered open taking in the sight before him. Her eyes still closed and the freckles on her nose were so close he could see their individual shapes. His heart was hammering loudly in his chest. He wondered if she could hear it.

"Look at that." Her eyes fluttered open and she grinned at him. "You did think of something."

"I don't know." He grinned back, nudging her cheek with his nose, making her head fall back a little. "I feel like I can do better."

"Oh yeah?" She arched an eyebrow.

"Definitely." He untangled their fingers, using the hand to grab on to her face instead. "I'm to happy to kiss you properly right now."

She let out a laugh, her hand if her other hand coming to wrap itself around his neck. She was practically in his lap now, standing between his legs and leaning on him.

He kissed her again. Deeper and longer. Stopping once again when his smile became to overwhelming. He wrapped both of his arms around her, hugging her to him instead. He dropped a kiss to her shoulder. He never wanted to move.

"I really like you." He told her.

"Good." She mumbled back. "Cause I really like you too."

Jace couldn't help but smile again. "You're making me turn in to a sap."

"I'm not sorry."

He laughed, buring his face into her neck. She smelled so good.

"I've got to go." She said, not moving.

"When's your shift over?" He asked, also not moving.

"6 hours." She placed her hands on his shoulders, leaning back still wrapped in his arms. "And than I've got all weekend."

"Good." He kissed her jaw. "You deserve it."

"Have fun at work tomorrow." She leaned in to kiss him this time. It was unfair how good she was at everything.

"I won't." He grinned. "I'll be counting down the hours until Sunday."

"Come on Saturday." She told him. "Spend the night, I don't like sleeping without you."

"Me neither." His arms dropped and she stepped back. She grabbed some tape and started wrapping his arm. He watched her. She was concentrating, her forehead furrowed and her lip in between her teeth. She was going to be the death of him.

"All good." She placed the tape back, giving him her hands to help pull her up.

"I'll see you Saturday?" She asked as Jace leaned down to kiss her one more time.

"Can't keep me away." He placed one last kiss to her forehead. "Bye Cherry."

"Bye Jace." She grinned at him as she walked out the door. "I trust you know your way out by now?"

"Sadly." He pouted at her. "Or you would have to walk me out."

She laughed, flashing him a smile over shoulder as she walked down the hall. He smiled back, feeling a little winded now. Did that really just happen? He touched his lips with his fingers. He could still feel her lips on his. Yeah, he grinned, it had.
