Clary's Pov
"Meliorn!?"
"Come here, red" Meliorn said with open arms.
I ran into his arms, my arms around his neck, him holding me tightly against himself, with my feet a foot off the floor.
Meliorn was one of my close friends from the start of high school. We had a pretty tight relationship, unicorn stickers and all.
A year or so later he had asked me out, I said yes because i would be lying if I didn't find him at least a smidge attractive, and I had never been in a real relationship before.
Two month flew by and with the entire make out sessions, hand holding, I never felt that spark you read about in books, the spark when you knew when you were completely undeniably in love with this person, or at least starting.
We continued to go out because, maybe the spark wasn't real, just made up. Either way, I still didn't feel that caught up in the moment of just being with him I didn't love him, well at least the way I should, it was more of a friendly love, a brother sister love.
Anyway, we eventually called things off because we was moving to California.
"How've you been, how's the big apple?" Meliorn asked once we parted from the hug.
"Oh I've been splendid, New York, busy as always, how about you? How has the move been?"
"I've been good, the move hasn't been that bad, I'm all settled in, well I have been living there for two years, but besides that, yeah I've made nice friends"
"That's great to hear, yeah we all missed you" I said.
"So you, Simon, Izzy, all of you guys, still close?"
"Closer than a brother, yeah actually they're all here"
"Really?" Meliorn asked
"No I just said because I've had a shit day and want to see other peoplr's faces when they have false hope crushed" I paused " Yes they are really here" I said with aa laugh.
"Oh Clary, sarcastic as ever"
"Yep, over the past year or so, still the same old Clary" I said.
"Yeah, I can see, you haven't even grown an inch since I've seen you" Meliorn said as he inspected my height.
"Oh ha-ha, I'm dying" I said as I shoved him in the chest and he laughed as ge barely budged an inch.
"When will you and Jace give me a break?" I asked.
"Hey, how is Jace?"
"I'm fantastic, especially with this ginger keeping me at my feet" Jace said as he moved to pat my nest of curls upon my head.
I whisked his hand away.
"Jace!" Meliorn said as they reunited with that weird guy hug where they go the pat on back making a clap noise and overall just weird.
"So what brings you back to the Big Apple, or at least six hours away from it ?"
"Oh you know, just a trip with the family and some friends"
Jace nodded, "Well I'm sure Izzy and Magnus, all of them will be glad to see you"
"Here, come on I'll help you find them" I said.
"I'm sure you can make do while were gone, Jace?" I asked jokingly.
"Yes your Majesty" Jace said as he bowed.
Now that's more like it, I can get used to that.
I turned to help Meliorn find our remaining friends.
Jace Pov
I met up with Alec after Clary left with Meliorn.
"Look at that!" I said nodding towards Clary and Meliorn "He has his hands all over her"
"Mhmm, yeah" Alec responded to concentrated on the video game he was playing at the moment.
"Alec seriously, look at that" I moved to direct his head in the right direction.
"What? Awe goddamnit Jace, I'm dead freaking dead, are you happy now?"
"No because Meliorn still has his filthy hands all over Clary"
Alec turned to see.
"As does Clary, Jace just leave her alone"
"No, not until she's safe"
"And I'm guessing your definition of safe is right by your side with your arm around her"
I rolled my eyes at his response, "No, just I don't know away, safe"
"With you" Alec finished.
"Forget it" I said.
"Sure thing" Alec said heading to the bar Clary and Meliorn were seated.
"Wait, hey, where are you going?" I asked
"You don't think Clary is safe" he paused to roll his eyes "so instead of you being a little wimp complaining about how she's with someone else instead of you, we're going to do something about it"
"No, no Alec, I- uh"
"Don't want be a stalker? Then quit acting like one, come on its Clary who you've known since childhood and Meliorn who has known her what, two? Three years?" Alec reclaimed.
"Meliorn who she had a relationship for almost a year" I jabbed back.
"A relationship she was completely unfazed by" Alec played back.
"You don't know that"
"Yes, I do, now come on"
I ended up following Alec to the bar, where Clary had half a bottle of beer left.
"Hey Alec, long time no see" Meliorn said giving a high five to Alec.
"How goes it?" Alec said.
"Quite well" Meliorn said, and I could smell the alcohol spilling from him breath.
"That's great" Alec said.
"As much as I love small talk, I was wondering if I could borrow Clary?" I claimed in.
"Of course, it's getting late anyway" Meliorn said as he scooted out of his chair and went to give Clary a lingering kiss on the cheek.
Just as I was ready to pull him off, he backed off and said his farewells.
"Hey" Clary said as she almost fell off the bar stool.
I got there just in time to steady her.
"You're drunk?" I asked.
"Noooooooooo, what are you even talking abooout" Clary said
Yep, drunk as a skunk.
"How many bottles of beer did you have?" I asked her.
"One? Two? Who cares! Let's just live the life, have a blast and all" She said as she slurred a good amount of her words.
"No, let's get you home" I said.
"Awwe come on Jaace-wacey, live a little"
I just rolled my eyes and swept her into my arms bridal style as she landed sloppy punches to my chest as she demanded to be put down.
I gathered everybody so we could get home.
Once we were loaded into the car Clary rested her head against my shoulder.
I rubbed her curls as she laid next to me.
"Jace?" Clary asked
"Yeah?"
"You're really gold"
"Go to sleep Clary your drunk" I said as I gave a bit of a laugh
And she did.
As soon as we got home she sprung awake with new found energy.
"Hey" she said unbuckling her seatbelt, stumbling out of the car as she put an arm my shoulder to study herself.
"Let's play a game! "She said woozily.
"No Clary let's get you to bed" I said as I put secure arm around her waist and one under her knees, lifting her up.
"Whooo" She said as I carried her up the stairs.
Once she was stable on her feet she leaned against the door.
"Meliorn would've played games with me" She said with a pout.
I took a few steps closer to her so our chests were almost touching, looking directly into her sparkling green eyes.
"Oh really?" I inquired.
She gave a small nod.
"I could play with you all night leaving to forget how to breathe" I said.
I heard her breathing falter.
She gulped, "Then let's play"
I laughed, "No, let's get you to sleep"
"You're boring" she said turning to open the door.
"I could never be boring" I puffed.
"Well you are right now!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah whatever you say doll" I said as she started to strip out of her tank top and short shorts.
"Hey, as much as I love the view, you might want to change in the bathroom, to not call for such an awkward situation when tomorrow calls" I said as she was left in a black lace bra and underwear.
Clary walked to me swaying her hips at times.
And did so, until she was less than an inch away from me.
"Why Jace? Are you scared?" She had a sultry pout upon her lips.
She lifted her hands under my shirt, tracing my abdominal muscles. I shuddered and backed away.
"Clary" I gasped. She followed me to the wall, body against body, I could feel her heat seeping through my clothes.
During the process my shirt had fallen to the ground, and now she was running her hands up and down my chest and it was driving me crazy, her small, warm hands against my chest, leaving a searing fire in its wake.
I took a deep breath and snatched her wrist.
"Clary no matter how good this feels, and it really shouldn't because you're my best friend, you're drunk and it's wrong" I said drawing in rapid breaths.
She looked at me through her eyelashes, "It didn't seem like you thought it was wrong"
I internally groaned, I shouldn't feel this way, but I mean come on my hormones are at a tipping point. I can't remember the last time I've had a good make-out session and here I was in front of an attractive girl with her hands on me, but it was still wrong, she's my best friend, and not only that, she's fairly intoxicated.
"Clary" I repeated, "You need to sleep, you aren't you when you're tired"
Clary rolled her eyes and turned away to bend over, did I ever mention my best friend had a hell of an as-, best friend, intoxicated best friend.
She went to grab my discarded shirt to snug herself into it. The shirt was still a good four, five sizes too big for her, considering the hem reached the top of her knees and the sleeves were fairly close to her elbows.
She climbed into bed and snuggled under the covers.
I turned to the door grabbing a blanket from a chair, heading down stairs.
"Where are you going?" Clary asked hazily.
"Sleeping on the couch"
"Jace?"
"Yeah?"
"Stay?" She asked.
"I-"
"Please?" she pouted.
I sighed, she won.
I walked to the bed going under the covers.
She was looking into my eyes.
"You have pretty eyes" She said.
I smirked, "I've been told they're dazzling, they sun downbeat,-"
"Golden" she gave a small smile then wrapped her arms around my waist.
"You're good, Jace" She said as I put my arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah, go to sleep"
She nuzzled her head into my neck as her breathing patterns became more even.
….
HAPPY LATE HALLOWEEN!

Well this went a bit farther than expected then I thought why not?
