Dance=MrsTateLangdon. Sorry I didn't update this yesterday, but I was out and then when I was in, I was so very tired. I am writing this now listening to "Dramatic Song" by Tobuscus on repeat/the ten hour video. Oh my Jesus, I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head all day. But it's for you guys!

PoV Clary

I was sat next to Jace, his arm wrapped around my shoulders, while Simon talked awkwardly at Isabelle, who had a glazed look in her eyes. I wanted to punch her. I could see that Simon wasn't good at talking to her, at talking to girls in general, except for me. She smiled when he laughed shrilly, and I felt Jace flinch a little.

"Isabelle, where did you get that dress?" Magnus asked, interrupting Simon.

"Oh, this old thing?" Isabelle asked, her eyes shining again, pointing down to her dress. "I found it in the back of my closet. I think it's from, like, three years ago."

Simon looked a little deflated. "You look really nice, Isabelle."

He had said it quietly, so that I had to strain to hear him. But Isabelle heard him, and she smiled. "Really?" She looked down at her black dress that clung to her body in all the right places. It stopped midway down her thighs, and was sleeveless. "I didn't really think it'd look good on me. It would look so much better on Clary."

"I think it really suits you," Simon said a little louder, looking pleased. He took something out of his pocket. "This would look nice in your hair." It was a small hair pin, with a silver rose on it. "It belonged to my grandma. It was the only thing she had when she moved to America."

"Wow," Isabelle said, looking at it. "This is really beautiful. Why do you have it?"

"She gave it to me. Told me to give it to a pretty girl."

Jace snorted, and Simon shot him a glare. Isabelle put the clip in her hair, and smiled at Simon. There was an awkward silence in which Simon and Izzy looked down at their feet, and Alec glared at Simon.

"Well, you can tell everyone's really excited about the dance," Jace whispered in my ear.

I put my hand over my mouth to cover my laughter.

Magnus looked bored, and stroked his powder blue side burns. I could hear him humming, and Alec turned to him, placed his hand on Magnus' thigh and kissed him.

Izzy laughed and blushed, looking down at her feet again. Simon looked on with an expression somewhere between interest and disgust. Jace groaned and buried his head in my neck, turning away from his friends. I looked at Simon, whose head was now tilted to the side, and he didn't look at all disgusted.

"Am I the only one oddly turned on by this?" Simon blurted out, and then went very red in the face.

"Are you gay?" Jace asked, looking from Izzy to me. "Is he gay?"

"I'm bi," Simon said. "I've already been over this with you."

"No, only me," I said.

"Wait, you like guys?" Izzy asked. Her face split with a wide grin. 'I'm going to have to fight to keep you."

I laughed at Alec's face. He had stopped kissing Magnus when Simon had blurted out his statement, and went from looking happy that Simon didn't like girls, confused at why he was happy about that, and now he was looking rather angry at Simon. I could almost read his thoughts on his face Don't you dare hurt her- and stay away from Magnus.

I laughed aloud as everyone stared back and forth between each other. Jace kissed my cheek and I turned to him, and he kissed me again, his lips soft and gentle on mine. I placed a hand on his cheek and heard Simon groan.

"Is everyone just going to kiss all the way to the dance?" he asked

"Yeah," Izzy said. "It's weird, watching my brothers kiss people."

I pulled away from Jace. "Brothers?"

Izzy went red in the cheeks. "I… I meant brother."

I looked back at Jace who was looking at me. He leaned forward and whispered into my ear, "I'll tell you after the dance."
