SHY
Clary was shy, she knew it, her parents knew it. Everyone around her expected her to be shy. She was good in school had good grades but had no friends except for izzy and simon but she knew they took pity on the girl who sat alone. She had a brother but they rarely spoke in public she liked it that was since he was a popular person and she was… Not.
She did however paint she took after her mother her rooms was covered in paintings, She was quiet and her head was far up in the clouds. So when izzy one day grabbed her out of the blue and said "you need a boyfriend" she didn't speak she simply followed the girl and that is how she found herself in izzy's room in front of a mirror with izzy brushing her hair.
"I don't need a boyfriend" izzy nodded and said "no one does but you would like one, even if you say no im still doing this" Clary sighed and said "no one looks at me izzy" izzy frowned and said "well the right guy will, just look at me" clary did and what she saw was a tall skinny curvy girl with long black hair and a pretty face. "im going to die alone" izzy frowned and said "come on if you didn't dress like you do guys would look at you" Clary clutched her hoodie making it strain against her bodyand izzy frowned and asked "is that too big for you" clary shook her head and izzy smirked and said "then why could i easily fir in there with you" clary sighed and said "it's jon's old one but it's comfy" Izzy sighed and said "take it off" clary stood up and said "I'm not wearing anything underneath" Izzy raised an eyebrow and clary said "okay a bra but that's it" izzy shrugged and said "im a girl i've seen it before"
After rambling about how clary surely could not take her shirt off and izzy explaining she just wanted to see what size she actually was. Clary dragged it over her head and izzy dropped her jaw and said "you have abs" clary wrapped her arms around herself and izzy clapped her hands and tossed a shirt at her and clary pulled it on reluctantly and wrapped her arms around her body. Izzy brushed her hair out and curled her already curled hair making it look controlled and tamed when really clary felt like half her hair had been ripped out of her head.
Clary had been izzy's new favorite hobby picking at her face and mostly asking clary how she got abs and if clary was ever to answer her it would be "I train at the gym with my brother" but then she never answered izzy's questions strain off. Izzy made her wear things in her own size and people did notice her but instead of making her comfortable it gave her more worries. For example the girl that would pick on her seemed to find her new clothes as a nudge to keep going.
Clary stayed home for a few days making her brother collect her homework and tell izzy not to come looking for her. Clary however decided two days at home was enough and went back on friday only to find a new guy talking to izzy and she found him attractive, very attractive. Izzy saw her and motioned for her to come over and clary did for once she wanted to. She stopped in front of them and izzy said "where have you been?" Clary pushed her hair behind her ear and said "i was home, didn't feel well" izzy nodded and said "this is jace my kind of cousin" clary gave him a look before turning back to izzy and asked "why did i have to come here?" izzy gave her a look and jace said "because she wanted me to have a friend" clary raised both her eyebrows because she couldn't do one. She smiled slightly and said "I suggest she find someone else i'm not good company and not a lot of people here like me, i'm clary by the way nice meeting you, don't worry it probably won't happen again" and with that said she walked away a ball of nerves. however the same girl gave the usual comments and pointers and clary shrunk away from them hid in the bathroom's for the rest of the day only to have her brother find her at the end of the day and bring her home.
The next weeks were the same jace was in all her classes and clary had a hard time deciding if it was good or not. Clary stopped training her brother claiming she wasent in the right mindset. however on that friday she came to collect her things from her locker then hide in her room for the winter break but jace stopped her as she shut her locker and said "I don't know if i did something but your not talking to me, did i do something" clary shook her head and jace smiled and said "I wanted to ask you out, on a date with me" Clary looked up surprise written clearly in her face and said "is this a joke" he shook his head and clary nodded and said "sure what did you have in mind?" jace shrugged and said "we could go to the movies?" clary nodded and asked "do you want to meet up there?" he smiled "no i'll pick you up just give me your number" clary handed her phone over and said "do you know jon?" jace nodded and clary said "same address text me when you're there" jace smiled and walked away.
Clary walked out to the parking lot her cheeks red and her brother looked at her a silent question in the air and clary said "Jon what do you do on a movie date?" jon shrugged "make-out, why?" clary blushed even further and said "I was asked on a date to the movies" jon looked at her in wonder and asked "Who asked you?" clary looked at him trying to find his reaction and said "jace" jon smiled and said "i knew he liked you" clary sighed and walked in and john said "clary don't worry about it!" clary nodded and walked up the steps to her room and decided she would try to not be shy then as she came out of the shower and changed into a tank top and a cardigan along with some jeans she gave up. She dried her hair and put it up and laid down in her bed and thought "he will have to like the normal me nd if he's nice i might give him a glance of the real me" she smiled and she went down stairs and sat down in the kitchen and waited.
She got a text message and looked to find "hey almost there, I'll come to the door" clary pulled on some shoes and her father got in and gave her a questioning look and asked "where are you going looking all dolled up?" clary blushed and said "I'm going on a date?" her father smiled and kissed her head and said "have fun" clary smiled at the thought of her parents not worrying about her anymore.
As the doorbell rang she hovered for a second but opened the door to reveal jace who was dressed in a tshirt and jeans as usual and he smiled at her and asked "ready to go?" she nodded grabbed a small bag and shut the door and he asked "you look nervous" clary nodded and jace opened the car door for her and said "it's just a movie don't be" clary smiled and said "you cured me" her voice filled with sarcasm. jace grinned and walked around to his own side.
they sat in the back and the cinema was deserted and clary asked "is it always this empty?" jace nodded and said "may be the movie but it never crowded from what i've gathered" clary nodded and as the movie continued she proceeded to look at jace catching him looking at her. eventually he didn't turn away they sat there looking at each other and clary found herself in question again 'do i want to kiss him?' clary made the hasty decision and leaned up kissing him quickly. he didn't move one inch clary pulled back and ducked her head in embarrassment. Jace turned her face to him and leaned down and kissed her and clary relaxed but pulled back after a minute and said "I actually want to watch this" jace chuckled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
They came out of the place and jace stopped outside her house and asked "do i get the pleasure of taking you out again?" clary smiled and said "you might, depends" she opened the door and he followed her to her door and asked "depends on what?" clary smiled and leaned up on her toes and kissed him sweetly and said "anytime, you can do that again anytime" jace chuckled and kissed her again and clary opened her door looked over her shoulder and said "bye, i had fun thank you for taking me" he smiled and said "thank you for coming, bye" clary shut the door and the world crashed down around her as she realised she had not only had her first kiss but she had been on a date with a hot guy and he wanted to do it again.
Clary kept getting the text's from jace making small conversations. She had run up to jon when she got home and he had been waiting with a smile and asked on his face. Clary smiled and asked "What happens now?" jon shrugged "did he ask you out again?" Clary nodded and said "he asked if we could do it again and i said yes" jon nodded and asked "did you kiss" clary blushed and jon smirked and said "there you go but if you want i can ask jace to keep a distance in school, unless you want people to stop and stare" clary paled and said "I'll be fine" jon nodded and that's what clary had been worried about. Making others Stop and stare was not something she wanted.
she came to school in clothes that actually fit on that monday and jace was waiting by her locker and his reaction was not one she had expected. He smiled and kissed her cheek much to her horror. She put her books in her locker and noticed people looking at her and she asked "why are they looking at me?" jace smiled and said "they didn't see you before, but now that you showed up in something tight they suddenly care" Clary looked up and asked "do you suddenly care?" jace shook his head and said "I asked you out before all this, but im not complaining" Clary smiled and grabbed her things and they set off to class.
Izzy winked at clary as she walked in and jace pushed her to the back sitting beside her and clary asked "this isn't my seat" jace shrugged and grabbed her hand under the table holding in in his lap. As the class started clary took notes as jace answered any questions headed their way. At the end of the day jace eventually left her to get her stuff claiming her brother was giving him a ride. Clary got her bag and was headed out until the group of girl's decided that she was not done for the day. surrounding her asking questions she was too shy to answer. She ran out of school to the car and as jon saw her coming he stood in front of the door and asked "what happened?" she knew her brother was mad at her for letting the girls keep going instead of giving names. Clary shook her head and said "They called me a whore and a slut" jon shook his head and said "you know that's not true, why get upset" Clary wiped at her eyes shrugging and said "they told me he would only go out with me till i had sex with him" she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to find jace. He wrapped his arms around her and said "I would never do that clary, never" Clary nodded against his chest and jace said "they're just jealous" clary pulled back and asked "of what" jace smirked leaned down and whispered "because your sexy without trying, you have someone who likes you for you not because you showing half your body to anyone watching" Clary smiled and kissed his cheek and jon rolled his eyes and got in the car and clary got in the back telling jace to go in the front.
It had been two months of dates as small kisses and clary was starting to come out of her shell around jace talking more jace seemed to be surprised every time clary would randomly reveal something knew yet he never pushed her always making sure she was comfortable so when he asked her if she wanted to meet his parents clary was hesitant and jace leaned down and said "we can have a sleep over" he knew she liked sleeping in his arms clary nodded her head immediately. she knocked on her dad's study herd the 'come in' and went in with purpose. Her father smiled as she entered and asked "Clary honey what's on your mind" clary seemed to in the time span of 3 seconds loose all the confidence she had in her body and her father smiled at her and said "spit it out" humor in his eyes and clary said "jace asked me to dinner at his parents and i wanted to know if i could go" her father frowned and asked "well that's a silly question of course you can" clary nodded and asked "can i stay the night there" her father eyed her skeptically and asked "why?" clary shrugged and said "I wanted to… sleep over" her father sighed and asked "can you promise me you will come back every bit as innocent as you are now" clary nodded and said "I'm not having sex" her father had a small smile and said "clary your almost 18 if you want to have sex it's beyond me to stop you im just saying be safe" clary blushed the shade of her hair and said "i'll say bye before i leave" her father chuckled as she left.
Clary joined jace in her room and clary layed down in bed beside him and he said "did he say yes?" clary nodded and said "he told me i could go if i came back as innocent as i am now" jace smirked and kissed her neck saying "he told you not to have sex?" clary nodded and said "he told me it was beyond him to stop me but to be safe" jace smiled and asked "do you want to have sex?" clary covered her face with her hands and curled into his chest and jace peeled them away and clary said "not yet" He smiled and said "well im fine with just kissing you" clary smiled and kissed his neck like she knew he liked it and said "when do we have to leave?" he shrugged and said "an hour" clary nodded and said "that's plenty of time" he frowned and was about to ask what she meant when she attacked his mouth and he held her closer.
clary rolled off jace as he said "did you just give me another hickey" clary giggled and traced the new mark and he said "come on we need to go soon" clary sighed and said "i'm just gonna shower quickly can you pack my bag?" jace smirked and clary sighed "i'll do it"
jace smiled and clary grabbed a bag and threw in a pair of leggings and a cardigan along with her underwear. jace layed back and watched her and asked "what are you wearing to dinner" clary pulled out a grey dress and jace nodded and clary brought it to the bathroom as she went to shower. She came out 10 minutes later and jace said "you look beautiful" Clary smiled and pulled on some boots and grabbed a cardigan and jace asked "are you ready?" clary nodded and they were off to say goodbye.
They found her father in the kitchen and she said "Daddy im leaving" he turned around and smiled and said "have a nice time you too jace" jace smiled "bye Mr, morgenstern" "call me valentine" jace smiled and said "bye valentine" they left and drove to jace's parents house making jokes along the way. They arrived at the big house and clary got out and grabbed her bag and jace took her hand guiding her up to the door. Jace opened the door and called "mom dad were here" clary looked up at him and he smiled and said "they'll love you" she smiled not because she believed him but because he knew what she wanted to say.
Jace left her bag by the stairs and pulled her into the kitchen and there stood his parents. They turned and smiled warmly and jace said "Mom dad this is Clary, Clary these are my parents" clary smiled at them and hid behind his arm and said "Hi" they smiled and his father came around and held his hand out and clary knew she couldn't decline. She took a breath and gave it a good shake and he seemed shook as he pulled back and said "good grip you got" clary smiled and said "my dad taught me" he chuckled and said "were almost done show her around and we will call you" jace nodded and they left and clary asked "did they like me?" jace chuckled and said "well they would be dumb if they didn't clary my mom seemed to and my dad seemed curious" clary nodded and they made their way up the stairs.
Jace opened the door and said "Bathroom is there, my parents room is downstairs and this one is for my sister if she visits" clary frowned "you have a sister?" he nodded and said "she's married, we don't talk much" clary nodded and jace stopped and said "this is my room" he opened the door and clary gave him a questioning look but stepped inside. It was big a bed pushed against the wall in the middle drawers on the opposite end a nice view of the woods. but what shocked her was that it was clean. Jace wrapped his arms around her and asked "what do you think" Clary smiled "it's very clean" jace nodded and said "im a bit of a clean freak" clary nodded and said "i know you clean my room all the time" he chuckled and put her bag down by the bed and asked "you still want to stay?" clary nodded and turned in his arms and asked "we can sleep together but not do anything right?, that normal" jace nodded and kissed her head and said "I love sleeping with you it's cozy" clary smiled and said "what's threw that door?" jace looked up to see what she was pointing and said "bathroom" clary nodded and he said "what shall we do now" clary smirked and leaned up connecting their lips and said "we could talk" kiss "walk" cuddle "or just keep going" jace nodded and kissed her again.
So they stood there in the middle of the room until his dad called "dinner is done" clary pulled away and jace kissed down her neck and she said "jace we have to go" her body betraying her by tilting her neck. Jace pouted and led her down the stairs and clary fixed his hair and he frowned but pulled her into the kitchen.
they sat in silence eating, Clary finished after jace and the conversation began and clary smiled and answered some and some jace cut in to save her. They went up stairs later as they realized it was quite late. Clary pulled her shoes off and went thru her bag to see the one thing she forgot was pj's she sighed and jace handed her a t-shirt and said "wear this" clary grabbed it and went to brush her teeth. She pulled her dress off and pulled the t-shirt and saw that she could indeed see her underwear thru the shirt but didn't really care at the moment she left her toothbrush there and walked out.
She stood there like an idiot gawking at jace shirtless and his pj's low on his hips. She blushed and walked to the bed and got in and jace lifted the covers and wrapped hi arms around her waist and clary fely her heart skip a beat. they had don this before but not like this. She had always fallen asleep during a movie and jace would have held her as they slept on the couch but now she was doing it willingly fully knowing she was almost naked.
She turned around in his arms and kissed him. Jace returned the favour kissing her deeply. their legs tangling and jace finally pulled back only to kiss down her neck over her throat down her chest. clary gasped as he slipped his hand under.. well his shirt and moved his hands over her Clary pushed him back straddling him and kissing over his body. Jace held onto her thighs kneading but it only made clary continue. Jace bucked his hips up and clary froze, she backed off and jace sat up and held her hands and said "hey what happened?" clary looked up at him and said "I just forgot what i was doing and oh my so sorry I didn't mean to" jace shook his head and pulled her into his lap and said "don't apologize you didn't do anything wrong"
They fell asleep curled up. morning came and they just laid there cuddling until jace's mom opened the door and asked "are you two okay?" jace lifted the cover back to show a silent sleeping clary and said "she didn't sleep well" his mom nodded and said "im going shopping want anything?" jace shook his head, his mom nodded and said "she's a keeper" jace smiled and layed back down.
Clary was mortified and couldn't speak as she woke up jace smiled and said "im glas you stopped okay, i get your embarrassed but you shouldn't be" Clary sighed and got out of bed and jace asked "since when did you wear lace underwear" clary blushed and brought her bag to the bathroom and got dressed brushed her teeth and came back only to find jace had gone back to bed. She got up and cuddled into him and asked "was i bad?" jace chuckled and said "no clary you weren't bad" clary nodded and closed her eyes once again.
Jace drove clary back in the evening and leaned against his car and said "did you have a nice time?" clary nodded and traced the now very dark hickey just under the collar of his shirt and he asked "how come i don't get to do any on you" clary smiled and said "well them out private live wouldn't be so private" he smiled and kissed her quickly and said "go inside before you dad sends a search party for you" clary smiled and asked "i don't want to go" jace smiled and said "i'll come by tomorrow" clary nodded and gave him a kiss then walked in to her house and waved goodbye as he left.
Clary wasn't feeling well and jon had called izzy thinking she wanted a friend. However when izzy came over clary was in her bed sniffling away looking at a picture. Izzy looked at the picture and asked "you miss him?" clary nodded and she said "I told you you needed a boyfriend" Clary turned around and said "I thought he was my boyfriend" izzy blinked and asked "when did that happen?" Clary shrugged "4 months ago, you would have known but you've been busy fooling around with simon" izzy gaped at her and asked "how did you know" clary waved her off and said "your not that subtle izzy"
Izzy called jace over and clary had stopped crying just as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Izzy frowned and pulled at his collar and said "jace who gave you all the hickeys" Jace smiled and looked down at clary and izzy smirked and said "who knew you were into that"
Izzy left and jace pulled clary closer and asked "how are you feeling" Clary smiled "better, you're here" he smiled and kissed her head.
Clary had been looking at him for 2 hours of just looking at jace and she knew what she felt but she had to spit it out and she had to do it now. Jace turned his head and started back at her and said "you know i don't mind you looking at me but clary this is creepy" She sat up and grabbed his hands and said "I need to tell you something and i need for you to know that i really mean it" jace nodded and clary took a deep breath and looked into his eyes and said "I Love you i have for a really long time but i wanted to say it and you don't have to say it back" jace smiled and said "I know you love me" clary frowned and he said "you talk in your sleep and if i kiss your forehead you always say "I love you jace" clary smiled and jace said "and i do love you clary from the bottom of my heart" Clary smiled leaning their foreheads together and just grinning knowing she had him and that izzy was right about one thing she needed something but who knew it was jace.
