A.N. Ok, new record. Three in one day. I better get a lot of reviews

"WE'RE RELATED!" She shrieked, her voice echoing throughout the empty institute.

"DON'T YOU GET IT, JACE? WE. ARE. RELATED. BROTHER AND SISTER. WE CAN'T BE DOING THIS."

Jace's arms were folded across his chest in annoyance, and his face was the picture of defiance; but if you looked really close, you could see the hurt blossoming in his tawny eyes.

"Oh? Well then why did you kiss me, Clary?" His tone was challenging, and the way he said her name infuriated her. Like she was beneath him, like he thought he was better than her.

"BECAUSE I DIN'T KNOW, YOU ASSHOLE! BUT NOW I DO! SO THIS HAS TO END." Tears were started to leak out of her eyes, and his own softened at the sight of them.

"Clary," he murmured, reaching for her.

She stepped back. "No," she whispered, "We can't, Jace. We just can't." Her voice was hoarse from the yelling, he noticed. She didn't seem angry anymore, just weak. Like she had given up.

"It isn't right," she mumbled, leaning against the wall, her frail arms wrapped around her stomach as if for support. "We're brother and sister, Jace. We can't do this. But I can't stay away from you."

He sighed, and leaned against the wall opposite her. He watched her warily, his eyes now exhausted.

"I can't help it," she whispered. "I can't help how I feel about you."

"I know," he said, his voice was surprisingly calm. She looked at him. His eyes were closed; his head was leaning back against the old wooden wall.

"It's so wrong."

"I know." Another sigh.

"I love you," he said suddenly, and neither of them felt any shock at the casual statement. They had both known it, even though neither had ever said it out loud before then.

"I love you too." Jace sighed for the 3rd time today, and this time Clary copied the action. It was probably the most unromantic confession of love there had ever been. Definitely not what she had imagined when she was younger. She had imagined a beach, a beautiful sunset, a quiet starry night, a lovely picnic. Not sitting against an old wall, in an empty shadow hunter's institute, sighing and stating their love for one another matter of factly, as if commenting on the weather.

Weather's nice today; I'm in love with you. I love you too, isn't it hot out today?

"We're hopeless." She murmured, a small smile sneaking its way onto her face. He grinned too, suddenly.

"So, about that kiss," He began.

She rolled her eyes.

"Jace…"
