hey guys, I'm hoping you liked last chapter and I hope you LOVE this one. There won't be too much drama but we will have a Malec flashback of sadness... Prepare the feels.Clary's POV

As we walked down the street back to our apartment Magnus told us how he was up here in New York on a fashion internship but soon to expects an actual job. Magnus had not gone to college and came straight here where he was offered and internship at the first studio he had shown his portfolio to.

Magnus seemed very fun and outgoing, the only word I could think of for hI'm is the word flamboyant. Some where past the glittered mascara and the cat like eyes there was a hidden darkness behind his eyes, regret and despair and the only things I could use to describe them. There were obvious reasons to his hides sadness but it seemed... Darker, as if there was even more behind them.

Seeing Jace talking with Magnus was nice, it was comforting to know that he had a friend out side of his family. He seemed so undisturbed, so calm, so normal that I even had a doubt about how much he needed me. This thought was completely disregarded when he turned to me with his soft smile on his face and took my hand.

When we walked into the apartment Jace got Magnus and I some water bottles while I pulled up another chair. Magnus curtiosly took the chair as Jace and I sat next to each other, shoulder to shoulder hand in hand. Magnus smiled a smile too wise for his age, a smile of know, of young love and loss. A smile that made sad but comforted at the same time.

Magnus smiled once more and spoke "so how long have you guys been together?". I could feel a slight blush creep to my cheeks and I knew that Jace was thinking so I spoke up. "Ahhh well it's kind of complicated... You know unsaid feelings and all". Magnus laughed softly, "I would say I understood but if you can't tell how I dress I'm not big on hiding my feelings".

I made some sound between a laugh and a choke as Jace just smiled, it was a knowing smile with a hint of familiarity, this was obviously how Magnus always acted. "Magnus I'm glad to see you haven't changed", Jace leaned back into the couch, it was nice to see him comfortable.

Magnus turned to me, so Clary I know Jace's life, why dont I learn about you. I thought for a moment "Well I live here with Jace, I have family in some other parts of New York and by family I mean my mom stepdad and brother". Magnus took this in for a moment, "seems nice Clary but I don't want to know about your family I want to know about you".

This took me a bit longer than I thought it would " alright, I am Clary, I live with my boyfriend Jace who I've loved for some time, I'm an artist but lately have only been able to doodle, nothing serious. I do have family and they live in New York but they aren't the realm I stayed.". Magnus smiled, "nice to meet you Clary".

"So Magnus tell me about YOU" When I asked this Magnus Smiled, it wasn't sad but it wasn't over joyed just a compliance smile. "Hello I am Magnus Bane, I am a raging bisexual as I like to call myself but have only found one true love. I wouldn't call myself 'raging' anymore but I have some kind of hope that I can find someone to come close to what I felt for Alec". When he said his name I could see Magnus wince and I could feel Jace's hand tighten around mine.

I smiled softly "Alec sounds nice, you guys seem lucky to know him." I patted Jace's hand. Jace looked at me softly, his eyes carrying love and pain but no suffering. I smiled back and turned to Magnus, he looked on the brink of tears. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be almost crying I know, I just dont think I've gotten over the pain. You know that your father didn't let me attend the funeral?".

Jace's eyes widened, "oh god Magnus, im so sorry I would have let you but I was... You know". Magnus and Jace both lowered theit heads and I placed my hand on Jace's back. "I know Jace, even Maryse wanted me there.. Just Robert never accepted me or our lifestyle as her calls it".

Jace smiled and shook his head slightly "they never will change will they". Magnus smirked, "you guys are a stubborn group aren't you". I couldn't help but choke out a laugh, Magnus smiled and Jace jokingly glared at me.

Magnus then looked at his watch "crap it's 2:00 sorry guys I need to go, I have a meeting at 2:15, it was great seeing you I hope so find you again" Magnus rushed and gave me a quick hug and shaking Jace's hand before he hurried out the door. "Well he left... Quickly" I said confused. "Yeah that's how Magnus is, he will wait last minute then just run out with no warning". Jace smiled down at me.

"At least now I have you alone" He moved close to me, I could feel the heat radiating from him, he was too far. I pressed against him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I kissed the side of Jace's mouth and smiled "so if we are alone what do we do?". He looked down at me and smirked "well I don't know about you but I'm a bit tired and I love to sleep with my arms around you. He tightened his arms around me. "Jace no don't come on that's no fair I'm too small". I pleaded with him as he lifted me up and carried me to his room.

I was hitting his shoulder when we reached the bed, he pressed a kiss to my forehead. The look in his eyes showed how happy he was. It then turned to humor as he fell onto the bed with me under him, his arms wrapped around me still. "come on Jace let me out". I smiled even when complaining. "No thanks, I love you hold you as I sleep and you know I might just keep you here" I groaned as he tightened his arms and brought me to the side of him. "Just sleep Clary" I sighed "fine".
