Let's get it started.
Clary sat in the coffee shop as she waited for Jace, lately he was always there before her, but today she decided to beat him to it as she order their regular orders and waited. She had her artwork tucked in her art supplies bag, excited to get back to Jace's apartment and give him his belated Christmas gift. It had been a few weeks since their fight, New Years came and went and the two spent that last minute of the old year and the first minute of the new one in each others arms as they kissed at the club their crew went to. They both felt the whole, "Be my girlfriend/boyfriend" question was childish, they knew that they were exclusively together. They didn't need one of them to ask an actual question to determine their obvious relationship. Jace had introduced Clary as his girlfriend and Clary had introduced Jace as her boyfriend countless times now.
Scrolling through her phone, Clary heard the door to the cafe open, her heart fluttered and she looked to the door to see Jace.
But Aline stood in the doorway, her veins went cold.
"Oh my God, Clary." Aline's voice rose to show excitement, but it was clear that she was thrilled to see Clary alone.
"Hi Aline, good to see you." Her heart stayed regular, remembering Izzy explain after getting home from the doctors what kind of person Aline was back in high school. "She always made things seem worse than they actually were. A lot of breakups because she would get guys caught in a sticky situation." Izzy had explained her opinion of Aline for quite a while, a lot of harsh names were thrown to Aline.
Aline frowned a little, but her blue eyes glowed, "I see that you're alone. Things didn't quite work out with Jacey?" She asked.
Clary opened her mouth to speak, but stopped when the door opened. They both looked to find Jace beeline straight to Clary before he grabbed her face and kissed her gently. His brace was off his hands and his eight stitches taken out and pinked as a fresh new scar. Clary smiled against his mouth just before he pulled away.
"You beat me here, how rude." He said quietly. She was the only thing he saw, and it elated her to the core.
Aline cleared her throat and Jace looked surprised as he finally realized that they were indeed, in a coffee shop with other people around. Especially surprised that Aline was standing there.
"Oh, Aline, my apologies for interrupting." He smiled at her before he kissed Clary's cheek and took the seat next to her.
Aline looked away, seeming bored. "I was just surpised that Clary was alone, thought you two had ended things."
He smiled at her, "I know you did, I only recieved about twelve texts and calls from you. Sorry I didn't respond," Jace slung his arm around Clary's shoulders and kissed her neck, she giggled and blushed at his gesture, "I was a little too busy to respond."
Clary's name was called as her order came up, and Jace touched her hair before he went to fetch their coffee before adding some extra flavor to Clary's. He knew she liked hers extra sweet.
Aline shifted her weight, "Well, I'm glad you two worked things out."
Clary smiled with pride, "Stronger than ever."
Alined held back her eye roll, but it was clear she was annoyed.
"I'll be off then, good to see you." Her sincerity was out the door before she was as she turned away and left the coffee shop. Clary realized that Aline hadn't even purchased anything, seeming as though she only entered the cafe to pester Clary.
Jace returned and watched Clary stand as she grabbed her bag.
Jace got close to her ear as his lips tickled her ear, "Ding dong, the witch is dead."
"Oh, I almost forgot, I wanted to give you your Christmas gift." Clary crawled out of Jace's bed and avoided his laptop that sat in their laps. It had gotten dark as they spent the day watching movies and cuddling, something they usually did on off days. Izzy wasn't home, so they left the bedroom door open as Clary slipped by and went to her bag. For Christmas, Jace had gotten Clary a new pack of brushes, all different sizes and types, as well as a necklace with a green emerald shining at the opening of her collar bones. Izzy on the other hand, had bought her new clothing from Victoria's Secret, less full panties and more lacy lingerie. Clary had to express that she still was not having sex, but Izzy waved her away.
Clary pulled out paintboard and looked at it, making sure she hadn't missed anything or that is was ruined. She was finally able to capture the image she wanted and made it perfect.
She held it so that the picture faced her and away from Jace as she reentered his room, he looked excited and had placed the laptop on his nightstand.
"It's not much, but I thought that since you keep all of my bad sketches, you'd appreciate my good one." She teased him and gestured toward the stack of images that Clary had tried crinkling and throwing away.
He smiled as she took a deep breath and flipped it around.
It was an image of Jace's parents, much like the one he had a photo of but this time, Jace was apart of the photo. It truly looked like someone had taken the picture recently, even the a thumb showed at the bottom like the photo of Jace's parents.
In the picture, Jace stood between his parents and smiled widely, chipped tooth and dimples as he smiled at the "camera". Clary had added a wrinkle or two to his parents, making it seem more realistic. The original photograph must have been taken just before Jace was even concieved, so she added the slight age to them as if they were still alive. His father still looked down, but now at Jace as he stood close to Jace, his mother looking the same direction and laughing, adding more lines to her smile so that she had aged only a few years. She kept the same joyful youth that Clary thought his mother would have even at the age of ninety. Her eyes glistening and her smile wide as she laughed. Seeing the three of them together made it clear that they were a family, the resemblence that Jace had compared to his fathers and his mothers was striking. All three looking like angels straight from heaven as their golden eyes, nearly white hair, and rosey cheeks made even Clary envious. Jace's mothers features were still delicate as his fathers bone structure was strong contrasted hers. Jace in the middle, prideful and joyous as he complimented both types of facial features, sharing his mother and his father in his smile.
Jace was silent, his mouth open and his eyes wide as he stared at the painting. Clary began to feel anxious as the silence stretched on.
"I messed it up, didn't I..." Clary felt horrid, ruining something so important to Jace.
He blinked finally and looked at her.
"I love you." He breathed.
Clary was now the one staring as her body froze. The only time she knew of Jace's feelings was when Izzy had told her what he said after their fight, and she thought that her heart would leap out of chest then. Hearing Jace say those words made her heart feel like it would burst.
He swallowed, "Y-you don't have to say it back," He climbed out of bed and walked over to her, afraid he had ruined the moment, "I-I just... this is so amazing Clary. It looks so real." He was hesitant to touch the painting, afraid that he would ruin the perfect moment captured on the board. Clary still hadn't spoken, in shock that he had confessed his feelings for her.
He took the picture from her hands and set it on his desk before he pulled her in his arms, her body hard at first before she melted to the feeling of his hot breath in her hair.
"It's absolutely stunning, Clary. It really does look like someone had just taken the picture. It's the best thing anyone has ever given me." He held her tight, the sound of his fast heartbeat like drums in her ear and his body was hot against hers. He pulled away enough so that he could look at her, his golden eyes glowing and sparkling as he gazed at her.
He kissed her lightly, just a slow peck before he pulled away.
"I love you, too." Clary finally spoke, her voice steady as she said it. She was afraid she would crack but the words came out smooth and true.
Jace looked at her before he smiled at her, his fingers touching her cheek and then her jaw.
She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him fully, Jace's hands holding her face as he kept her there. There was no escaping for either of them as the held each other close. Their mouths moved in synchronization now, kisses moving less desperate, but now hot and slow. He turned her and held her back with one hand as his other came down to the bed to steady them while he placed Clary on the mattress. Her hands were in his hair now as she finally became the same level as him, locks curled around her fingertips like satin and her other hand gripping his T-shirt. He lifted her and moved her twice, his arm circled around her waist as he finally positioned them at the top of the bed. He poured all of his love into his kiss and she did the same.
Clary's heart raced and her skin felt hot, but Jace's was hotter against hers as his hands found her bare stomach under her cropped sweater. His skin was silk on hers as he held her hips and deepened himself to her. She pulled on his shirt until he peeled it off, the soft sound of it falling to the ground startled her, but she didn't stop kissing him. Her shirt was above her bellybutton, and his bare skin on hers felt even more magical. Jace didn't rush Clary or push her, he always made a move and stopped before going through with it. His fingers touched the elastic of her bra, tickling her ribs as he asked to remove her shirt. She pulled away and crossed her arms to pull it over her head.
He breathed and pulled on her hair, their kissing becoming more passionate as his wet mouth kissed her jaw and then nipped at her neck. Her knees tightened around his hips in delight as he kissed her favorite spot just below her ear.
Gripping the waist band of his sweat pants, he soon kicked them off, she giggled as it got caught around his ankle and he shook it off. He laughed with her when he became free, half a true laugh, the other a devilish laugh as he growled back to kiss her. Her nails raked on his back and he shuddered above her.
Clary wanted every part of Jace, his heartbreaking past, his sometimes short temper, his flirtatious side, and his entire being. Clary loved Jace, and her heart cracked her ribs from expanding and her stomach fluttered, her veins rushed and her skin tingled. Every part of Jace was hers and she couldn't have been happier.
She grabbed his hand that had began pulling her bra strap on and guided it over the elastic, down the curve on her waist until it was at her pants that hung low on her hips. She felt his heartbeat thud aggressively as she pulled on the string of her joggers, she felt high from effecting him. His lips didn't stop and his free hand held himself so that all of his weight wasn't on her, but she wanted all of his weight, she wanted to be envelopped by him.
He pulled at her pants as she did the same, lifting himself so she could be free of the cotton. She was very away of her now matching bra and underwear from Victoria's Secret. Both black with white bows and lace. Her underwear high on her hips making her look curvy. Jace stopped and looked at her, his eyes touching every part of her as he gulped.
"You're so beautiful, God, I love you." He pressed his face in her hair as his lips touched her ear. She shivered and he got closer to her. He thought she was cold from being so exposed, but really she shuddred at his low voice, her entire being on fire as his love made her ignite.
She pulled his face away so that she could look at him, her finger curled around his hair that dangled over his eyes.
"I want you." She whispered as she touched his lips, red and swollen from their kisses.
Jace stared and his eyes widened.
She looked him in his hesitant eyes.
"I love you, and I want only you." She felt like she was in a terrible romance movie, but the words she spoke couldn't have been more right.
He gulped, "Are you... are you sure? I don't want you to feel pressured, Clary."
She smiled and shook her head, touching his jaw with the tips of her fingers. Delicate as to not break the moment.
"I've never been more sure in my life. I love you, Jace." She kissed him gently at first, his hand on her thigh had gripped her flesh.
"I love you, Clarissa." Jace spoke breathlessly before kissing her fully.
The night sky was clouded overhead as snow started to fall from the sky. Time passed as they loved each other while the snow covered the ground outside. Silence in the air as the snow took up all the sound. The cars had halted and the people stayed in, knowing not to ruin the moment between them. It wouldn't have mattered if it kept snowing throughout the night or if the sun came up the next morning to melt the fresh ice. The flowers could have bloomed and the grass could have showed green but they would still locked the door and pretended that they the doors had been snowed.
Well... I think... that just about covers it. The End.
Lowkey, kind of want to write a rated M of their little love scene, but idk yet. You tell me, should I write their details or just leave it up to your imagination?
Thank you all so much for the amazing praise, suggestions, and love you've all given me. I get so excited reading your thoughts and opinions. I've always had a hard time sharing my writing, but you all have truly helped me gain confidence in something I'm passionate about. I do want to write more Clace stories, but I'm not 100% sure what to make of a plot. But I love TMI and all characters and such belong to the original author. This was fun, it was nice to distract myself. I still have a week and a half until I'm back at school so I have some time to kill.
I can't believe that this became so long, and I'm sorry if you were just in it for the short ride, but each chapter isn't long. But yeah, I know some viewers were afraid it was going to be sssuuuuppppeeerrr dragged out and long, but I don't like when that happens either.
Again, let me know if you wanted the end scene detailed in rating M, cause I'm kinda down for that. Don't know how good it'll be because... well, I wouldn't know tbh. But it's worth a shot, right? Also, let me know if there is any plot in particular that you would like to read. I know that some people don't feel confident in their writing but want to read something they have in mind. I can't draw well at all, but I still have ideas for art that I'd like to see, you know?
Maybe now I can finally edit my YouTube video for this week haha (subscribe to my channel for mediocre videos every week lmaoooo). Follow my social media, its all in my bio on my profile, I'm active on all of it. Thank you all again, your comments and suggestions mean the world to me, and I'll catch you guys next time.
