confusion is just a part of it

Chapter 12

IMPORTANT: do you guys want me to keep chapters from you and update regularly or do you prefer irregular updates, but I update as soon as I finish writing?

- (about like a week later Malec and Clace are still sort of fighting)

'Izzy? Why did you call us?' Alec asked while he and Magnus followed Izzy inside.

Alec grabbed tight hold of Magnus's hand and turned around when he saw Clary and Jace sitting on the couch.

'Hell no!' He screamed.

'Hell yeah!' His sister yelled back at him, blocking the exit. 'Sit down. You are going to stop being such babies and make up.'

Clearly Clary and Jace also weren't there voluntarily, judged by the angry stares Jace cast Alec and Magnus and the awkwardness that Clary emitted.

Magnus decided it really was time to make up. He wanted things to go back to how they were. Carefree. He led Alec to the couch next to the couch were Jace and Clary were seated.

'Okay. I guess I will start. I'm sorry Clary if I hurt you and that I used you to try and get over Alec. I'm sorry Jace that I hurt Clary and Alec.' Magnus elbowed Alec to indicate he should go next. Alec looked unwillingly, but when Magnus nudged him again he started speaking.

'I am sorry I hit you Jace,' Magnus smiled at his boyfriend, proud at him for being the bigger man in all this. (*A/N) 'but I will no doubt do it again if you dare to hit Magnus again.'

'Alexander!' Magnus yelled aghast. (I don't know if this is correct I never heard of the word before, but I trust google translate for once.)

'What? I tried.' Alec shrugged his shoulders. Magnus sighed, but couldn't supress a smile. Alec was really cute when he was protective.

'I am sorry Alec,' Jace smirked. 'But if he's going to hurt her again, I'll hurt him again.'

'That went well.' Izzy sighed. 'If only you could cooperate.'

'I am sorry Alec' They were all surprised to hear Clary's voice tremble. 'and I'm sorry Magnus for keeping your guys apart. I should have never com between a great love like yours.'

Magnus stood up, let go of Alec's hand and walked to Clary. 'Are we okay again?' He had tears in the corner of his eyes. He couldn't bear the thought of losing his best friend over something like this.

'You forgive me?' She asked surprised.

'Only if you'll forgive me.' She flew off the couch right into Magnus's arms. 'Glad to have you back, biscuit.' Magnus smiled.

'Excuse us. We have a lot to talk about.' Magnus and Clary walked off to the corner of the room and started whispering.

Alec turned to Jace. 'I don't want to fight anymore.'

'Me neither.' Jace mumbled. He chuckled a, in his opinion, very manly chuckle. 'You can't properly enjoy playing videogames alone.' Alec laughed, but the smile quickly vanished when he looked at the corner of the room where Magnus and Clary sat too close for his liking, chuckling and whispering. They had done that before, but that was different. Clary had some kind of romantic feelings for Magnus at some point.

It was not like Alec could blame her. Magnus was just too perfect.

'Is there really nothing going on between them anymore?' Alec asked no one in particular while staring at them.

-----

'Have you tried the new Kardashian tan kit?'

Clary laughed. 'Yes. It is so orange. I looked like an orange for a week.'

'I-' Magnus was cut off by a pair of lips on his own.

'Oww hey Clary.' Alec looked with contempt over his shoulder at Clary, not letting go of Magnus.

'Alec, can I talk to you for a second?' Clary asked. She saw what he was doing. He was trying to show her to back off.

'I don't want Magnus. I want Jace. Magnus is all yours.'

'I know.' Clary looked at the big guy in front of her and smiled. He always tried to conceal his feelings, but she could she he wasn't convinced and was jealous of the time she and Magnus had had.

'If it makes you feel better we haven't had sex.' That definitely didn't make Alec feel better. He knew you could do much what wasn't considered sex. He hated the thought of Magnus and Clary kissing, touching... He didn't want to think further.

'He wouldn't even kiss me.' Alec released a breath he hadn't realised he was holding. 'Believe me. He doesn't have eyes for anyone other than you.'

-------

Magnus and Jace looked at each other. 'I may never truly like you blondie, but the least thing we can do for Alec is truce.' He reached out one of his perfectly manicured hands.

Jace couldn't help but spit on his own hand for catching Magnus. He smiled deviously. 'Truce.' Magnus sighed, wondering if Jace would ever grow up.

A/N: I don't know if that is a proper expression but I hope you know what it means.

Please let me know what you think. Is the clace makeup done properly? because I found it really hard to bring Clace back together properly. It was really hard to voice how Clary was feeling.

I might make this story longer than just the epilogue, since I don't think everything is finished, but I'll have to see, since I don't have much time and I really want to finish the fanfic bingo.
