Jaces POV
I hugged Clary to my chest, she was breathing hard and had her hands clamped into fists. We had sat like that for about an hour now, I couldn't stand how sad she looked so I kissed the top of her head and moved. I sat up and she looked to me, "Jace what are you doing?" i smiled. "Well my dear I am not letting you mope, we need to get ready you said he'd be here tomorrow" Clary sighed and put her head into my chest.
I stood up and lifted her with me, she started laughing and I brought my lips to hers. She was still smiling as I kissed her and we were soon both laughing, I set her down and she seemed happier so I gave her a hug. "So we need to start cleaning huh?" She groaned and nodded.
time skip next morning
I was sitting on the couch at 9:00 in the morning as Clary paced the livingroom/kitchen. I walked over to her, she was rubbing her hands together and wearing them around eachother. I took both her hands in one of mine and she looked up, her face was distorted with worry. I pulled her into a hug and she momentarily hesitated before relaxing in my arms. She was wearing a sundress that reaches mid thigh and was a light green. She looked amazing in it as always, I was wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans. We walked over to the couch and sat down, her head rested on my shoulder.
Her hands were still wrapping around each other, I knew better but I lifted my hand and placed it on her cheek. Gently I brought her to me, I didnt kiss her, just place our foreheads together. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes. "Clary you know we are going to be Ok, just act normal.". I brought her lips softly to mine, nothing deep or special just a soft brush of the lips. When I pulled back she smiled at me and laid her head on my chest, I took a small piece of her hair and started wrapping it around my fingers absentmindedly. All to soon ther was a knock at the door, Clary stood up quickly and ran a hand through her hair. After one more smile to her she opened the door. I stood up to meet Hodge, he was wearing a tweed suit and his long grey hair was pulled back. He was this but had a long almost beaky nose and he also had a long scar that reached down his face.
He was a very intimidating man, no wonder clary had been so scared when he called. Clary shook his hand first and when he turned to me I took his hand firmly and said "Jace Herondale, nice to meet you sir". "Hodge Starkweather, call me Hodge" his voice was deep and almost menacing.
We led him to the livingroom where Clary and I sat in the small couch. We made sure that we weren't touching but not making it obvious. Hodge sat in a chair that was pulled up, he held a clipboard and pen.
"So Jace" Hodge said "im going to be asking some questions. One of you answer them unless obviously directed to one or the other. Understand" I nodded.
"So when way Jaces last panic attack" he looked to is both
"5 days ago" I answered quietly, Clary didnt know this.
"and how bad was it?" Clary looked to me too
"blacked out about 5 minutes, split a knuckle in the mean time" Clary sighed as I said this.
"Jace how much progress do you believe you've made?" This one was obviously for me.
"I know I am better, how much I dont know. I dont remember the first couple days of being here" this was the truth. Hodges nrow furrowed when I said this.
"So Clary how much prefers do you think he has made?" He looked to her.
"Jace has made great progress, when he first arrived he wouldn't even go on the elivator, now we are able to walk down the street to a small diner and have a full meal." She answered confidently and Hodge seemed pleased.
5 hours and many more questions along with various exorcizes later we were done. Once the door was shut I fell backwards and flopped down on the couch, "geez I didn't think that would take so long". Clary smiled "yeah he is very... Thorough". She was walking to me so I grabbed her hand and pulled her on to me. "Jace what if he comes back!" She protested quietly. "Well then we will say you fell, and then you fell again into me" I moved in towards her and soon kissed her, she stayed still just for a moment but then broke down and kisses me back.
"sooooo Clary, wanna make food. I haven't eaten since breakfast" she looked at me "oh poor poor Jace, its 2:07 and you're hungry, I'll start cooking in about 2 hours. Go eat some fruit or something". I grinned at her wickedly and her face fell "Jaaaace noooo. Dont" I stood up taking her with me, I carried her bridal style the whole time, taking extra long to chose. Finally I grabbed a mango and went back to the couch. I sat this time and Clarys head was in my lap, looking up at me with bright emerald eyes.
Time skip to about 10:26
"Please Clary, come on please" I was begging now. "Jace no, im not sleeping with you. Now that we are as we are its not right" she had been putting up the same argument. "Since when have we been doing the right thing. Clary" I looked dead in her eyes. "I promise I will never so anything that would make you uncomfortable, I will never force you into anything. All I want is to hold you in my arms as I sleep." She smiled up at me. "Fine then"
I kissed her quickly and carried her to my room. She laughed as i dropped her on the bed. I went to the other side and got in. It wasn't awkward or weird, she fit so perfectly on my arms. She moved closer to me and I put an arm around her waist. I whispered down to her "I love you" once and fell asleep with her safely wrapped in my arms.
Ok so that wasnt a giant make out scene but how great was that.
