Chapter 9
A Few Weeks Later*
Kit's POV*
I've been reading up on how Shadowhunters are suppose to have weddings. The male, is supposed take his family ring, and give it to the female. It doesn't say anything about gay marriages.
Whatever.
I was able to have Emma distract Ty, while I went to talk to Julian. "Julian?" I call, he's in his studio. "Yeah, come in," he calls back. I walk through the door, and close it behind me. "Can I ask you something?" I ask him. "Sure," he says back. "Can I propose to Ty?" I ask. "Um, I don't see why not, as long as you love him," he says. "I do, very much. So much so that I took a whipping for him," I inform him. Julian laughs, knowing I'm right.
"Could you help me plan it?" I ask. "Yeah, I don't see why not," he says, clearly paying more attention to his painting. "Don't tell him. I want, clues to be hidden around the Institute, that lead to the beach, with me," I tell him. "Okay, I'll make it work," he tells me.
I turn on my heel, and walk out of the room. I go to my room, knowing Ty is probably waiting for me there. I open the door, and to my surprise, he's not there. I go to his room, and knock on the door. He didn't answer, I look in his room, and he's not there. I pull my phone out, and text Emma.
Do you know where Ty is?
No, I thought he was headed to your room.
He's not here, or in his room. I checked.
Try the roof, he might be there.
I run towards the roof, and he's not there.
He's not here.
Text Julian, he might know where his is.
So I did.
Do you know where Ty is?
No, didn't you say he would probably be in your room?
Yeah, well he's not in my room, or his. Also, I've already checked the roof.
Try the library.
So I did, I ran the library. He wasn't there. But what was there was a note saying:
Kit,
I'm on the beach, waiting for you.
-Ty
I run out the back door of the Institute, and I head towards the beach. He's not in the general area, where mundanes would be. I look around, till I find him, in the spot below the trees. Where I helped him, after Livvy's death. "Kit," he says, smiling. "Ty, I've been looking for you," I tell him. "I know, Emma and Julian told me," he informs me. "Ty, what are you doing?" I ask. "Whatever you'll let me do," he says. I know he's referencing our night together. I smile and hug him. He hugs me back.
The sun is starting to set, so Julian has started to make dinner.
All of a sudden, Ty got down on one knee. "Ty," I say. "Kit, you are the love of my life," he begins, taking his Blackthorn ring off. "You have been since I put a knife to your throat. Even more so, when I sat outside your door for weeks. When you helped me with an attack I had. When you helped me after Livvy died," He kept saying. I knew he had more to say, but I started crying. "For the help on my birthdays. For taking a whipping from Arthur for me. Kit, I love you so much," Ty paused. "Will you marry me?" He asks. "Ty, I don't know what to say. I love you too, and yes. I'll marry you," I cry. I take off my Herondale ring, and allow him to put his Blackthorn ring on my finger. I got down on my knees, and put my Herondale ring on his finger.
I hug him, and we sit like that for few moments. I take a hold of his hand. "Julian probably has made food," I tell him. He nods, and we walk to the Institute. We walk into the kitchen, and everyone is looking at us, except for Tavvy, who is eating. Ty lifts up my hand, and shows everyone the Blackthorn ring on my finger. Everyone, except Tavvy, gets up and starts cheering. They don't really move, but they let us through, so we can sit down at the table. "So, Ty, how'd it go?" Julian asks. "Well he said yes," Ty puts simply. "Not what I meant. I meant, what'd you say to him?" Julian clarifies. "Oh, I thanked him for everything he's done for me," he says. I lay my head on his shoulder, and he put his arm around my waist. "Get a room," Dru jokes. "But I'm hungry," I tell her. She rolls her eyes, and I stick my tongue out at her.
Julian put plates full of food on the table, in front of everyone. He picked up a plate, and leans against the counter to eat. Ty and I start eating, slowly at first. But Ty started to get nervous, so he ate faster. I took his hand in mine, and ran my thumb over his knuckles. He immediately calmed down, and ate slower.
When we were done, I put our plates in the sink. I took a hold of his hand, and walked out of the kitchen, taking him with me.
I drag him to my room. "Ty, we should share a room," I tell him. "We should, who's room though?" He asks. "We could pick a bigger room, somewhere else," I suggest. "We could. But let's not think about that right now," he says, sitting on the bed. I nod, and lean down the kiss him. I sit next to him, on the bed, and take my shirt off, and lay on my stomach. Ty takes off the last bandage. "You're last gash healed up. It's scabbed over," he informs me. "Draw the healing rune," I tell him. He takes his stele out of his pocket, and drew the rune. I roll over on my back, and I don't wince, the pain is still there, but not as bad.
Ty takes this opportunity to straddle my hips, and I smile at him. He kisses up my chest, until he reaches my lips. We sit there kissing for what seems like ever. He rolls off of me, and lays next to me. I get under the covers, and make a spot for him. "Take off your shirt," I tell him. He gladly obliges. He gets under the covers with me, and that's when I realize, that we both are still wearing jeans. "Ty, we still have our jeans on," I tell him. "So?" He asks. I caught onto what he was meaning. I put my hand on his hip, and slowly pushed his jeans down. He moaned as I gripped his thigh. He starts to do the same thing to me. I capture his lips, and he moaned into my mouth, when I gripped his thighs again. He slowly pushed my jeans off of my hips. I threw his jeans off the bed. When his hand reached my thigh, I moaned into his mouth. What was it about touching each other's thighs, that made us moan? I ask myself. He slid the material off my legs, and threw them to land next to his. Our legs tangled together, and we drifted off to sleep.
