Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I've been working on my Malec story, sorry. Again, it doesn't follow the tmi story properly. Reviews would be appreciated. Btw in this Clary and Jace are together and aren't "related" or anything and Alec is out to Jace, Clary and of course Izzy.
Cassandra Clare owns them.
The next day, Clary went down to the library to meet Jace. He was sat there, talking to Alec.
"Hey." She sat on the arm of the chair and settled an arm round his shoulders.
"Hey." He smiled up at her before returning his attention to Alec. Lately Jace had been distant with her, spending more of his time either out with Izzy and Alec, or just Alec. The boys were going out again tonight, and Clary was disappointed that she'd have to spend another night in the Institute alone. She hadn't seen Izzy at all, so figured that she must be out with Simon.
Since she'd parked herself next to Jace, Alec went about busying himself by looking at his phone, fingers tapping away at the keys.
"You're leaving me again?" She looked down at Jace.
"Sorry, but demons don't kill themselves." He shrugged. He was all marked up with runes and ready to go.
"Ok, sorry Clary-" Alec nodded to her before looking to Jace. "We need to go, and I need to make a stop in Brooklyn."
"Why Brooklyn?" Jace asked.
"It doesn't matter. I'll explain on the way." Alec stood up and left, giving them a minute alone.
Jace stood, pulling Clary up after him.
"Sorry I keep having to go." He pulled her towards him.
"It's ok, I get it Shadowhunter. But I think you might be making that stop in Brooklyn at a certain High Warlock's house." She relaxed against him, but his hands on her waist were light and tense.
"I know. We're off to see the Glitter King. You know I'll end up sat waiting for them again with the cat, Chairman."
"Oh it's such a hard life." She pouted at him.
"Not when you're around." He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes, seeming a little fake and forced.
"Jace!" Alec called from the doorway. "Come on, we gotta go!"
"That's my cue." Jace leaned down and planted a kiss on Clary's lips.
It wasn't a passionate heated kiss, but a brief closed mouth touch of lips that only lasted a few seconds. This was what most of their kisses were like now, their magic gone.
"See you later." He pulled away from her to follow Alec.
"Bye!" She shouted after him.
Later in the evening, Clary curled up in bed doodling runes in her sketchbook. She was so engrossed in her drawing that she didn't hear the knock at the door, or the creak of the hinges as it was pushed open.
"Clary?" It was Isabelle. She was wearing an oversized t-shirt and looked like she hadn't slept in a while. Her dark hair fell in thick waves, framing her pale face.
Clary was a little taken aback at seeing Izzy stood in the doorway; She hadn't seen much of the Lightwood girl these past few days, and Clary had began to wonder if Izzy had been avoiding her.
"Oh, hi Izzy. What's up?" Clary put down the sketchbook and turned to face the other girl.
"Can I talk to you about something?" Isabelle asked, fiddling with the hem of her shirt.
"Sure." Clary had never seen Izzy look this nervous. "What do you wanna talk about?" She patted the space on the bed beside her.
Isabelle shut the door behind her, crossed the room and sat next to Clary on the bed. "Now, I know you're with Jace, but I wanted to at least tell you to see if I stood a chance."
"Tell me what?" Clary wasn't quite sure what Isabelle was getting at.
Instead of explaining verbally, Isabelle decided actions speak louder than words. She leant forward, gently pressing her lips to Clary's. It was a chaste kiss, but she'd wanted to do this for weeks. Her eyes slipped shut and she lost herself in the feel of Clary's lips pressed against her own. When Clary didn't respond, Isabelle pulled back.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have done that...I uh...I-" Isabelle started to stand up, realising what a mistake she'd made. Of course Clary wouldn't want her the same way. Clary was with Jace, why would she like her?
Clary surprised both Isabelle and herself by grabbing Izzy's t-shirt and pulling her back down and kissing her. Clary was amazed that the feeling of kissing Izzy sent sparks through her body. Kissing Izzy felt different from kissing Jace; it made Clary feel more alive than she had ever felt being with Jace. When they broke apart this time, the distance between them was only a couple of inches.
"Was that what you wanted to tell me?" Clary asked. Her thoughts went to Jace, and what he'd think of what she'd just done.
"Yeah." Isabelle admitted blushing a delicious shade of pink. "Look, I know you're with Jace but I wanted to see if I had a chance."
"Oh," Clary breathed. "How long have you felt like this?"
"A couple of weeks." Isabelle looked away from Clary's eyes. Clary couldn't help but look at Isabelle a little differently now. She'd always thought Izzy was pretty, but now she noticed more of Izzy's body, like her amazing figure and her chest, and the legs that were on show. Clary's gaze focused on Isabelle breasts, and she felt a sudden urge to touch the other girl, to know what it'd be like to have those breasts pressed against her own.
"Oh." Was all Clary could think of to say. She'd never kissed another girl before, and she was shocked that the beautiful Isabelle Lightwood wanted her. She was also surprised at how much she'd liked it. "Don't tell Jace." Pushing thoughts of Jace from her mind, she moved forward and kissed Izzy again.
Isabelle gasped against Clary's lips and wrapped her arms around Clary's neck. Her tongue snaked out to trace Clary's lips which parted willingly. Their tongues collided and Clary was taken aback at how great it felt. Clary's hands went to Isabelle's waist and pulled the other girl into her lap; Isabelle legs either side of Clary's hips. Izzy placed her hands on Clary's breasts, and Izzy moaned into the kiss, sending shivers through Clary's body.
They made out for what seemed like forever, loosing track of time and getting caught up in their own little bubble. Izzy got Clary's top off at some point and was exploring Clary's body via her mouth, leaving red marks when she was done with that particular section of Clary's exposed flesh.
Isabelle pulled away to catch her breath and admire Clary, giving Clary a minute to clear her head and glance at her alarm clock.
"Shit!" Clary quickly moved out from underneath Izzy and pulled her top back on.
"What's wrong?" Izzy asked, a confused and even slightly hurt expression on her face.
Clary gave her a quick kiss to reassure her that everything was ok.
"As much as I'd love to spend the night making out with you, Jace will be back soon." Clary sighed. She really did want to spend the night with Izzy instead of Jace.
"Oh..." Izzy stood up and awkwardly made her way to the door. "Can we do this again?"
"Tomorrow. Same time." Clary pulled the Lightwood girl in for one last kiss before shooing her out of the room.
Jace arrived at Clary's room ten minutes after Isabelle had left. Clary was in bed, in her pyjamas and asleep by the time he crawled into bed next to her. It was rather odd, she usually stayed up waiting for him. He was glad he didn't have to talk to her though, things had been a little awkward between them for a while now. And besides, Jace just wanted to fall asleep and forget the night and that Alec was mad at him.
The night had been awful. Magnus had invited some friends over, and instead of going out looking for demons with Alec, he'd been left with three other warlocks to play a drinking game while Alec and Magnus enjoyed themselves in the High Warlock's bedroom. Jace had been rather drunk, and ended up starting a fight with one of the warlocks; which then lead to a rather flushed looking Alec, still zipping up his pants, to rush out and save his ass from getting kicked.
Magnus had then decided it was best if Jace left. Alec protested to that and eventually told Magnus he'd talk to him later and after that they left. Alec hadn't said two words to Jace since leaving Magnus's apartment. When Jace had tried to apologise, Alec had just glared at him and walked faster toward the Institute. Jace didn't worry about it too much though, Alec could rarely stay mad at him for any real length of time.
So I said it would be longer, and it was. Sorry I would've liked to have spent more time on this, but I've had so much course work to do. There might be a Jalec side to this, but not with Alec crushing on Jace. In the next chapter I'm going to focus more on Clary, through a dream that she has about Izzy...
