(Set somewhere after City of Bones and AU)
“Are you still pouting about that girl in town today?” Jace asked as he strolled into the main room where Clary was sketching absent mindedly into a pad not bothering to look at him. She’d been there for since their return home. In fact she had been there so long the sun was now fading, leaving only dim light coming from the west side windows.
Clary and Jace had spent a nice day out together, Clary convinced him not to use a glamour so they could go shopping “like a normal couple.” That had turned out to be a mistake, at least in Clary’s eyes, when a random girl began flirting with Jace the moment she left him alone to try on a dress. Jace of course shot the girl down politely knowing Clary could walk back at any time and would be upset if he was rude to her. But Clary was still upset.
“I’m not pouting.” Clary insisted firmly, still not bothering to look at Jace as he took a sat across from her propping his feet on the coffee table. “For the record, if I was pouting after today I would have the right to.”
“Clary, the girl did not know I was with you and I quickly told her I was not interested.”
“She was gawking all over you.” Clary grumbled, now sketching more aggressively.
“So? It’s not like I was ‘gawking’ all over her, that’s what matters right?”
Clary rolled her eyes as she snapped the pad shut and lightly tossed it on the coffee table along with her pencil. “Still,” was all Clary replied.
“I don’t get what has you so upset? You’re acting as if I’m going to run away and leave you at the sight of someone else.”
Clary looked down at her hands breaking their eye contact as she twiddled her fingers.
“Oh God, that’s not what you think, is it? That I’m going to leave you?” Jace asked a little softer.
There was no answer but Clary shifted slightly in her seat. Jace was silent as he got up and began walking. For a moment Clary’s heart stopped and Jace could see her tense but she relaxed a bit when she saw he was walking around the coffee table to come to her. When he reached her, he gently pulled her up by the arms to standing position before sliding into her sit himself. Clary was confused but quickly comforted when he pulled her back down to his lap.
“Clary, there will be girls that look at me from time to time even if you put a paper bag over my head they’ll still stare at me, so it be they’ll be staring for different reasons than today. People of the opposite sex will talk to me from time to time. Just like how, guys will look at you and I won’t like it one bit. But they mean nothing. We are in love, Clary. Nothing and no one will come between us. There is no one who will ever be ‘better’, ‘prettier’ or ‘more attractive than you in my eyes. There is only you and the rest just don’t compare. Even if we break up, no one that follows could ever compare to you. Clary I love you and I’m not a fool, I’m not letting you go especially not for some random girl.”
She sighed taking the hand that was resting on her thigh and placed it against his cheek before kissing his lips.
“I’m sorry about overreacting.” Clary whispered as she pulled away. A smile began to form on Jace’s lips knowing that Clary to admitting all this was hard for her but she had opened up sincerely.
