Clary Fray - Shadowhunters Imagines & Drabbles

Request - Clary Fray "I'll walk you home"

You had once read that if you were in love it was hard to look away from that person. You had always thought that it was nonsense, that it was made up to make those romance stories even more sickening and to make true love feel even more out of reach for a common girl like yourself.

"Are you sure you don't want me to pay my half of the bill?" Clary cocked her head and she smiled that bright smile that made your heart skip a beat in your chest.

You were sure about it. Just like you were sure that not being able to look away from someone when you were in love was not just a myth. "I'm sure about it." You twirled a strand of hair around your finger and made sure to keep your eyes locked with hers.

"Fine, but in return I'll walk you home." Clary stood up from her seat and you did the same while you kept on staring at her. Her red hair glimmered in the moonlight and it seemed as if someone had put the stars into her eyes. "Is everything alright, by the way?"

"Yes, yes, everything is perfect, why?" You swallowed while you bit your lip deliberating whether or not you could grab her hand and hold it all the way home.

"You're constantly staring at me and..." Clary's cheeks started to blush a little and she bent her head to stare at her feet. "I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Have you ever heard people saying that they can't look away from someone they love even though they try?" You paused for a short moment until Clary nodded. "I think that's what's happening to me. I like you. I like your laugh. I like your eyes. I like your kindness. I like your sense of humor. I like everything. Every part of you."

"Really?" Clary looked up at you as if she could barely believe what you had just said.

"Would I lie to you about something like this?"

"I don't know. You just tell me that you think I'm the most amazing person in the universe and it's a little hard not to doubt it for at least a second." She stood still and she grabbed both your hands. "But if you really think so, I hope that you know I feel the same about you." She spoke softly, her voice almost a whisper and she locked her glance with yours.

"Can I do something crazy?" You hesitated for a moment. "I know this was only our first date and I don't want to go too quick, but..." You waited for a few long seconds. "Can I kiss you?" You took a deep breath and waited until Clary nodded, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"Of course you can!" She leaned on the tips of her toes and she wrapped her arms around your neck.

You leaned in, your arms sliding around her waist, and you closed your eyes until your lips touched hers. You had read so many things about love you had thought to be nonsense. But right in this moment you knew that all of them were true once you met the right person.
