PoV Clary
When Jace and I finished hugging, he and I made our way back to his room.
"Hold on," I said, as we got to the door. "I just want to let Simon know we're still friends, me and him."
"Okay," Jace said reluctantly, and he followed me to my room.
I opened the door to find Simon reading a book, his glasses pushed up to the top of his head.
"Hi," I said, standing in the door way.
He looked up at me and smiled. "Hi."
"We're still friends, yeah?"
"Yeah. As long as you can set me up with that cute black haired friend of yours."
"Isabelle?" Jace asked. "Dude, she'd walk all over you in high heeled boots."
Simon glared at Jace. "How do you know?"
"Dude, she's my sister."
"I thought…. She was Alec's sister," I said.
"I…. yeah, I meant she's like my sister."
"Whatever," Simon said, returning to his book. It was a Torchwood novel. "I'm just joking, by the way. About the girl. You two have fun, now. Use protection. Don't have a baby."
"You sick fuck," I laughed.
Simon looked up at me and smiled a genuine smile. "Would you want me any other way?"
I laughed again and walked away, closing the door behind me. Jace took my hand and pulled me towards his room. We opened the door and found Magnus and Alec curled up together on Alec's bed, both asleep.
"We'd better be quiet," Jace whispered.
"Shut up," Magnus murmured. "So, you two have made up, yeah?"
"Yeah," I said. "I'm sorry about earlier, Magnus."
"Ah, it's fine," he said, sitting up. "Lots of people want to fuck me, Clarissa."
"What?" Jace asked, looking up from his bed, which he was trying to make even neater.
"Nothing," I said.
"Okay…." He said, going back to his bed.
"Clary, if you ever need help again, I will help, it's just that I haven't had the best of days."
"What happened?" I asked.
"Chairman Meow," Magnus said. "He got found in the boys' bathroom, and I had to send him home."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Magnus." I patted his shoulder. "But it's probably better if he's at home."
"I hired a maid to take care of him, so I think you're right," Magnus said, blowing his hair out of his eyes. "And I'm not going to pay my other friend when I get home. She could have killed my poor cat if he had actually been at home."
I nodded. "That's good."
"So, you going home for Christmas?" Magnus asked.
"I am," I said.
"What about you guys?"
"Yes," said Magnus. "It'll just be me and Chairman Meow, but yeah."
"I told you, you're coming with me," Alec mumbled from behind Magnus. "You and me and Izzy are going to have Christmas together."
I sat back and listened to Alec and Magnus plan their holiday, and snuggled next to Jace.
I was happy.
