Clace: A Moment to Remember
One Shot
"Jace we're gonna get in trouble!" Clary whisper yells to Jace as he stands face to face with a Raum demon. Well... Not just one, but about five. It wasn't breaking the Clave's rules or anything, but Maryse was gonna have a fit when she finds out that they snuck out.
"I'm just gonna kill these demons, then we can go, ok?" Jace asks her.
"Fine." Clary says and crosses her arms over her chest. "But don't you mean 'we?'"
"Ok, we." He grumbles and Clary gets into fighting position. She pulls out her seraph blade that Jace had given her for her birthday, her very first seraph blade. She brings her hand up to the Morgenstern Ring around her neck and then she leaps at the Raum Demon while Jace leaps for another. She slits its throat, but it just heals after a few seconds. She growls under her throat as she goes around behind it and jumps on its back, stabbing it through the back and the heart. It falls limp to the ground, then dissolves into thin air. She looks back at Jace to see that he's already killed three and working on the last one. She rolls her eyes. It was just like him to hog all the demons. But that's just one of the things she loved about him. Finally, he slits the demons throat and stabs it in the stomach, killing it. Clary smirks at him and he turns around and smiles at her. He walks towards her and envelops her in his arms, she takes in the scent of him. Even with demon stench coming from him, she can still smell laundry soap and the beach, how he always smells. They pull apart and just stare at each other for a few seconds before Jace says, "We better get going. We reek of demon."
"Yeah." Clary responds and they walk back to the Institute together, hand in hand.

"Where have you two been?" Isabelle asks as we walk through the doors of the Institute, her arms crossed over her chest.
"We were out. Fighting demons." Jace replies cooly.
"Why?! That's dangerous, Jace, you can't just go on a demon killing spree whenever you like, it's dangerous and you know it."
"Oh, Isabelle. You should know me by now. I run towards danger with a seraph blade in hand and I'm still here, aren't I?" Isabelle sighs, having given up and stomps up to her room. Clary chuckles and Jace and her head up to his room in the Institute. They walk in and Clary sits on his bed.
"Go take your shower. I'll be waiting. Then when you're done, I'm gonna take mine." She tells him.
"Okay. Love you, Clary."
"Love you, too." She replies as she relaxes on his bed. He dissenters behind his bathroom door and reappears ten minutes later, his hair wet and nothing but jeans on.
"Your turn." He says. She gets up slowly and soon she disappears behind the bathroom door. She peels out of her Shadowhunting gear and hops in the shower, turning it on warm and letting the water fall in ringlets down her back. She is soon done and slips on black pajama pants and a white spaghetti strap tank top. When she reappears in Jace's room, he's laying on his bed, sound asleep.
"Jace, wake up." She says and he lifts his head up and smiles when he sees her.
"It's about time you're back, I was starting to think the shower swallowed you." He jokes.
"Yeah, right. Get up." She says and he does. She sits by him, laying her head on his shoulder. He plays mindlessly with her wet hair and kisses her head lightly. She looks up at him and brings her face closer to his, fitting her lips to his. His lips are warm and soft against hers, and she sighs at how good it feels. He kisses her back lightly, a chaste kiss, then it becomes more fierce, more passionate. She hears Jace moan with pleasure and she smiles against his lips. Soon, they're laying down, Jace's arms firmly around her waist and hers cupping his faced running through his golden hair. They soon pull away, clary hungry for more. She kisses him again, softly and sweetly, but long. He returns that sweet kiss and then they pull away again. Their foreheads are resting against one another, and Jace is rubbing small circles on Clary's back. She has her arms loose around his neck and she can feel every breath he breathes.
"I love you, Clary Morgenstern." Jace whispers in her ear.
"I love you, too, Jace Herondale." And they lay there, entangled in one another's arms until they fall asleep. Now this, was a Moment to Remember.
