JACE HAS A BIRTHDAY pt 2 (A JOURNEY WITH ALCOHOL)

Jace woke up to the sound of giggling. Clary was not, in fact, next to him like she had been when he'd fallen asleep. He stood, pulled on his shirt and walked outside. Across the creek Simon and Clary were crouching by a log. He leapt over the stream and walked over to find Clary and Simon were huddling around a half-dome of fern fronds with a stone in the middle. They high-fived. Jace cleared his throat and the two spun around.

"Hey Jace." She said, smiling. Jace peered over her shoulder to see the fern thing better.

"What in Raziel's name are you two doing?" He asked.

"Making a raccoon alter." Simon replied.

"A what?" Jace demanded.

"When we were younger and went camping, Simon and I used to get up in the middle of the night and make raccoon alters. We'd construct it out of ferns and then put leftover food on a stone. In the morning it'd be gone. We'd appeased the raccoon lords." Clary explained. Jace just closed his eyes and imagined himself face-palming.

"So how drunk are you two?" Jace sighed.

"Two beers worth but I'm known for a surprisingly low tolerance of any form of alcohol." Simon replied. Clary stood.

"The last bit of the last beer you opened. I was unaware that beer tasted so terrible." She said, wrapping an arm around Jace's midriff. Magnus came hacking through the brush at that instant.

"Ah! Fantastic! Alec darling! I found the campsite! Ooo! And Jery and Clace! Or Clarence and Jaime! No it's definitely Jery and Clace." Magnus shouted back at the trees. A black-haired figured came rushing through the bushes.

"Parabatai! Hello! Magnus and Izzy and I went hiking but we got lost! But we found you! Magnus told me a story about Will Herondale getting drunk and I think I'm almost as drunk as he is!" Alec shouted quickly.

"No darling, you were drinking ginger ale, you cannot get drunk off that, you have to drink alcohol." Magnus told him rather loudly.

"Guys we're gonna get in trouble. Don't you think we should get to bed?" Jace asked, realizing that he was for once being the reasonable one.

"Where's King Kong? My monkey lover? Where has he gone?" Izzy cried as she came stumbling down the hill. Simon leapt up and went to catch her. "Ooo! I found him! King Kong! Take me to the Empire State Building, I want to fly!" She shouted.

"Is she high?" Clary asked, pointing at Izzy with concern.

"Oh by the Angel I hope not." Jace grumbled.

"Don't worry she's fine, but she really likes tequila." Magnus replied. Suddenly a flashlight was shining on the group. They all turned to face it, everyone except for Magnus. "Oh God! Turn the light off, it's horribibble. Or hairible. I mean herrifying!" Magnus shouted.

"Simon! Simon! The planes are coming! We must fly away!" She shouted, falling back into the dirt.

"Excuse me, you six? Are you campers here?" A man asked.

"Yes, hi. So sorry for the commotion. These three," Clary said, gesturing to her three inebriated companions. "were just heading to bed. They went hiking and she tripped so she a little delirious right now. As for him, he has horrible vision and when his eyes adjust he hates bright lights." Clary said, quickly coming up with a BS story. The park host pursed his lips and nodded.

"Well, keep it down then." He said sternly and then left. Clary grabbed Magnus's arm and gestured for Simon and Jace to get the other two. Together they walked their companions down the hill, across the creek and to their respective campsites.

Afterwards, Clary and Jace walked back to their site arm in arm. Clary rested her head against Jace's shoulder.

"Sorry, it's a tradition that Simon and I have. And I am so sorry about Magnus, Alec and Izzy. We should've monitored the alcohol better." She said. Jace shook his head.

"That was actually really funny." He replied. "I can't wait for what tomorrow will be like."

~THE NEXT DAY~

Clary and Maia were the first up, meeting each other on the way to the bathrooms.

"Morning." Maia said, yawning.

"Mmm, is that what time it is?" Clary joked tiredly.

"Was all that commotion last night you guys? Damn Magnus sure can drink." Maia commented. Clary nodded.

"Apparently so. Drinking and running through the forest is apparently a good idea to them. Ah well, at least he and Alec are back in love, however cheesy it can get." Clary sighed. Maia smiled.

"You're one to talk." She mumbled. Clary grinned.

When the girls returned, Jordan and Jace had risen with a surprisingly sober Magnus. The Warlock stumbled slightly as he stepped across the creek that split his and Jace and Clary's campsite. Jace squinted slightly at Magnus.

"I didn't think you'd be up till five p.m. at least." Jace said. Magnus rubbed an eye, brushed his back and half-heartedly waved off Jace.

"Magic can fix some things... although I am surprisingly groggy. I would've assumed that would go away with the hangover." He mumbled. "Do you have coffee? Screw it, I'll get it myself." A cup appeared in his hand. "Alec wants me to stop but I just can't. It's too much to ask sometimes." Simon emerged from his tent.

"She won't be up for another three or four hours I'm guessing." He said, yawning and pushing through the bushes into the apparent rendezvous site.

"I'm not surprised King Kong." Jace said casually as he sipped on some coffee Magnus had magic-ed for him. Simon blushed.

"She really likes that movies and I was the one who introduced it to her." He said. Clary smiled.

"Jace really likes Superman, and when he's in a darker mood; Batman." Jace looked over at Clary and squeaked.

"I do not. Mundane stuff is stupid." He hissed. Clary and Simon shared a laugh. "You know what, I'm going to take a shower because I will not stand here and be laughed at." Jace snapped.

"Sorry Jace, men's showers are out of order, you'll have to use the river." Simon said. Jace's glare shot over to Simon.

"No." He whispered. "No. no. no no nononononononono! Magnus, please magic the shower fixed!" He shouted. Magnus, a grin on his face, shook his head.

"So sorry, I promised my loving boyfriend that I would limit my use of magic for only the most important times." He drawled, still smiling. Jace threw his hands into his hair.

"I will not bathe in a river! Fish and animals poop in that! And humans pee in those too!" He shouted. Clary grinned at her boyfriend's agony.

"Ah the entertainment that aspires from Jace's beauty routine." She mumbled.

~LATER THAT DAY... MUCH LATER~

"And I totally just backflipped and kicked the guy in the face. Raziel, it was awesome." Jace sighed, leaning back in his camp chair. Izzy raised her shot in the air.

"I'll toast to that, yay for kicking Sebastian in the face." She slurred.

"Jace, that never happened." Clary interjected.

"Crap, really? Well I must have been dreaming. That was a fantastic dream then. Actually that makes sense because after I kicked him in the face and returned home you and I broke out into a musical as we pranced upstairs. That would also explain why Maryse was cooking with bluebirds on her shoulder and Robert slid in the door sing-begging for them to rekindle their love." Jace mumbled. Magnus grinned.

"Jace, you are wasted." Magnus pointed out. Alec threw his arms into the air.

"By the Angel Magnus! The only sober one here is Clary!" He said, his words blurring together with the speed of his vocalization.

"And you Alec." Clary retorted.

"It's true barley... er dolling... you still chugged ginger ale rather than alcohol again." Magnus told Alec.

"What am I supposed to drink?!" He shouted.

"Vodquila, Tequika, beer... I don't know! Drink alcohol, but drink responsibly or you'll ruin your liver." Magnus slurred.

"Alcohol? Alcohol like the kind mom used on the rare occasion that she'd clean the Institute?" Alec responded. Izzy leapt up.

"NO! Don't drink that Alec! You'll die! I wouldn't survive if you died. Then I'd be left with Jace and that would just be a living hell!" She cried. Jace looked at her.

"I am a gift! It'd be a living heaven damn it." He replied. Clary sighed, swiped the beer in Jace's hand and chugged it.

"CLARY NO!" Simon shouted. "Don't come to the dark side Clary! You're the smart, sober one here." Clary gave him a look.

"Simon, you're so drunk someone's going to have to carry you to your tent and you're lecturing me." Simon nodded.

"My girlfriend is smart, you should listen to her Simon. Don't lecture her for Christ's sake!" Jace followed up with. Clary hefted Jace from his chair.

"Time for bed big guy, the moment you start calling me 'my girlfriend' and backing me like that means you are too drunk to function." She said. Magnus gave an 'awwwww.'

"But he's our buddy and we love him!" Magnus said. Clary face-palmed.

"Yeah my girlfriend, what he said." Jace whined, as he sagged in Clary's arms.

"By the Angel you're heavy." She groaned. "Come on!" Magnus sighed.

"Bye Jace, happy birthday." Jace looked up at Clary.

"Smooches for the Shadowhunter! I demand smooches for the Shadowhunter!" He shouted. Clary sighed and looked up.

"Fine then, Alec! Come here! You're a Shadowhunter!" She called. Alec blushed.

"What?! No! He's gay and in love with Magnus and they're going to get married and adopt hundreds of adorable Shadowhunter babies and be in love forever! I meant me!" Clary smiled.

...

"You won't get any smooches ever again if you don't walk yourself to that tent."

"I'm going! I'm going."
