Jace had been spending more and more time at my apartment. He did take up the offer to sleep in my bed... with me. He was surprisingly modest about it. Now all of you with perverted mines can leave. It was nice. Most mornings he was up way before me. I wasn't really a person to beat in the getting up contest. I was usually exhausted by eight at night. This morning though I was first. Jace went to a game with Alec last night and I was already asleep when he came back. I sat up rubbed the granny stuff out of my I looked over at Jace. He must of been tired because he didn't even change before going to bed. That isn't what catches my eye though. Imbedded in Jace's mop of Golden curls was a small cluster of red hair. As a reflex my hand s move to my head. There is still a large puff. I pick it up with my fingers trying to not wake Jace. "Hmm?" He says rolling over to face. I shove my hand thats full of my hair under my pillow and drop it there.

"Morning." I say.

"You're up early."

"No you're just up late."
"Wanna go to Ihop?"

"Not going to say no to free food." I really didn't feel like eating. Everything tasted like metal and I wasn't hungry much. But I know Jace wanted to. I grab some clothes from my dresser and turn away from him to get ready. I can tell he's watching me but I don't mind. I turn to him. "Are you going to get dressed or are you just watching me?"

"I really enjoy watching you." Then I realize I'm only in a bra.

"Yeah?" I step closer to him with a new found courage.

"Totally." he sits up, leaning toward me.

"You still want breakfast."

"Can I have you?" He says. I sit on the end of my bed.

"Are you a cannibal now?" I joke.

"Only for you."

"Then I guess I'm on the menu." I make the first move crawling on him and sliding my arms around his waist. He starts to kiss me. Longingly on the neck and eventually trailing along my collarbone.

"You sure?" He asks.

"No time like now."

-o.o.o-

Jace rolls off of me. We both are breathing harder than normal. "Did we really just have morning sex?" I ask out loud.

"Yep" Jace answers popping the p. "What were we going to do before this?"

"Ihop." I respond. Suddenly I feel horribly sick and my mind wills at anything to make it go away. I gets worse in seconds and I lean over the side of the bed planning to get up. My dinner comes up before I can get anywhere. Jace is next to me instantaneously. My back convulses again sending more bile up. My throat burns and JAce rubs my back. After I'm 90% sure I finished, Jace picked me up bridal style and carried me to couch.

"You got any cleaning supplies?" He asks while setting me, down.

"Under the sink." He steps off to the kitchen. "You don't have to. I'll clean it later."

"No, I am a god at this." Jace pulls a bottle of solution and some face clothes out.

"You say you're a god at everything."

"It's true."

"Carry on then. I'll just lay here." He walks off down the hall. I sigh loudly and stare up at the ceiling.

Not five minutes later he comes back. "It smells like daisies. Do you want to shower first?" Jace asks almost instantaneously moving away from the topic.

-0.o.0-

Around noon Izzy comes knocking on my door. She has Simon in tow. I am sit-laying on the couch. Jace is flipping through TV stations, sitting next to me. "Hey, Clare how you feeling?" asks Simon as soon as he enters.

"Fine, for the moment." I respond standing up to face them. "You two never told me you were... you know."

"Yeah, me neither." adds Jace.

"Too busy?" says izzy looking for an accuse.

"With what?"

"You know..." she draws out the last part. i let out a suggestive humm and Simon goes a bright red.

"But really, you two?" I ask out loud.

"Yeah. Why?" asks Simon.

"Did you or did you not spend the entirity of your teenage years on World of Warcraft and at Magic the Gathering tournaments?"

"You were a higher level than me." Simon mummbles.

"I had a lot more time at home." I joke back.

"Whatever. What's up with you two?"

"Nothing." You know, we just finally had sex and then my body was like, 'this is such a magical and perfect moment lets ruin it.' I'm just not going to say that.

"You guys want to go bowling?" asks Simon. Almost everyone looks towards me.

"Okay, I'll watch. You guys can play." Simon says he's gunna call Magnus and Jace is going to call Alec.

The four of us drive off in Jace's camaro, while Magnus and Alec get their own rides. To enter the bowling place you got to a) find a place to park and b) walks around to the back of this brick building and climb down a flight of stairs to what would be the basement. It's not the most glamorous place in the world but it is a) cheap and b) not a tourist place. The alley has loud music and flashing lights. A snack bar gladly proclaims that it now carries beer and popcorn. Those two would not make a nice combination. Jace walks up and pays for two games while everyone tells the lady at the shoe counter their size. I hang awkwardly to the back. The woman asks what my size is and I tell her I'm not bowling. We are sent down to the very last lane and everyone's names appear on the scoreboard above the lane. Everyones name but mine. Balls start being sent down the way. Jace and Izzy getting surprisingly competitive, both are the frontrunners. Magnus and Alec focusing more on secret and curious glances to each other than the game. Simon spending most of the time talking to me and begging Izzy to help move him out of dead last. Me watching like the eyes of T. J. Eckleburg in Gatsby.

Doing this at the end. Thanks to my beta, OneandOnlyFangirl! Anyone doing Camp Nanowrimo? I am!
