PoV Clary
I was stood at the door to my room for a while. Simon stared at me with a strange look on his face; like he was happy but sad at the same time. I smiled at him slowly, and made my way back to my bed. I was in a state of semi happiness and semi confused-ness. Is that even a word? I don't know and I don't care.
When I woke up, I half expected last night to have been a dream. But I still had the ticket stub in my jeans, and I still had half a packet of Swedish Fish in my coat pocket. I sighed as I got ready for the day, (it was Sunday) and prepared myself for the cooling weather of autumn. I picked up a scarf and made my way down to Magnus' room. We were going shopping, which was going to be an adventure.
Magnus stepped out of his room in a flurry of multicoloured scarves, a white fedora with a red ribbon wrapped around on his head. He was wearing a brown trench coat, and held an umbrella with a question mark handle.
"Only you can pull quite a few Doctors together in one outfit and still look good," Simon said, passing us to get to the bathroom.
"Sass ass!" Magnus shouted after him.
"Whatever!"
I giggled, and Magnus and I started our walk towards the front door. As we walked, I saw that under tenths trench coat he was wearing elevenths trousers and suspenders, bowtie and all. I smiled at his fanatic Doctor Who love, and he caught me staring.
"So, pray tell, Miss Cain, how was thy date with Mister Jace?" he asked.
"It wasn't a date," I said.
"But…?"
"…We might have kissed."
"Oh my sweet hand Jesus!" He punched the air in front of us and laughed. "Did I not tell you that he liked you?"
"You did say that you had a feeling…"
"And my feelings are never wrong."
"Give over, Bane."
"Not a chance, Cain."
We got to the bus stop before either of us said anything else.
"Do you think he likes me, or Cain?" I asked.
"You," he said. "You are the Ianto Jones to his Captain Jack."
"But that means that one of us lives forever and the other will die of a deadly virus put in the air supply by the 456."
"Fine, you're the Gwen Cooper to his Rhys Matthews."
"Better," I said. "But I'd like to be his Toshiko."
"But that means that neither of you will tell each other how you feel until it's way too late and you both end up dying. You'll have broken your arm and been shot, and he'll have been shot and then slowly decayed by radioactive… stuff."
"Fine, I'll be his Gwen. At least I get kick ass boots."
"And a kick ass Best friend."
"You are me Captain Jack."
"I feel sad now, because all of my friend will have eventually died, and I'll just keep on going."
"But you'll have the Doctor."
"Yeah. Not all bad then."
I laughed as we walked into the shopping centre, and we walked aimlessly for hours on end. I broke down and bought this adorable floppy bunny plush teddy and a Sherlock tee-shirt that said, "I believe in Sherlock Holmes".
Magnus bought a lot of clothing, and I really didn't know where he got all the money, but he told me it was from his family. His dad had died after getting rich beyond belief, and all of it went to Magnus. Most of his clothes were sparkly and tight and colourful, but he bought an oversized sweatshirt and a pair of fuzzy pajama pants.
"For a rainy day," he explained.
I nodded, and we made our way to the food court. I got McDonalds while Magnus got a salad from this strange vegan place. He ended up eating most of my fries, his salad, an ice cream from DQ, an apple from a fruit stand and a small slice of pizza. He had bubble tea, (which was quite gross) a diet coke, (how can anyone stand diet?) a strawberry milkshake from Burger King and a frozen Mountain Dew from Taco Bell. Where all of it went, I have no idea. I had an ice cream, too, and a slice of pizza.
When we got back to the dorm, we flopped on the common room chairs just as Alec and Jace walked in.
"Sup?" Magnus asked.
Alec and Jace sat next to us, Alec quickly resting his head on Magnus' shoulder.
"Hey, what's up, honey?" Magnus asked.
"My parents," Alec mumbled. "They want to meet my friends from school. But I don't want them to, because that would make me seem kind of… mama's boy."
"Oh, come on. Just webcam them from your laptop."
"You think that'd work?"
"Yeah. Of course. Let them meet your friends and see some of the surrounding environment."
Alec nodded and went off to get his laptop.
"Shit!" I said, sitting up straight.
"What?" Jace said, his hand going to mine.
Magnus smiled weirdly. He looked a bit like a Silent.
"The Lightwood's. Their Izzy's parents."
Magnus' smile dropped. "Oh, shit. They know… Clary."
"Who's Clary?" Jace asked.
"My… sister," I said, patting his hand.
Alec walked back into the room with his laptop tucked under his arm.
"So?" Jace asked. "Why is it bad that they know your sister?"
I looked at Magnus, his brow furrowed. "Alec, sweetie, I think that maybe this isn't a good idea."
"Why?"
Magnus leaned to whisper in his ear.
"He'll be fine," Alec said quietly, his eyes on me.
Alec opened his laptop and logged into Skype.
