Jace's PoV

I wake up in the middle of the night with a massive boner, and so I snuggle against Clary hoping that she's not that sleeping. Let's be honest, I know exactly where this boner comes from. I've been dreaming about a certain person with certain colour of hair. And that would be great if she could help me with my growing problem in real life.

Gently, I try to wake her up, rubbing myself against her butt and playing with her boobs, and after a few seconds, she starts to respond to me. But I can tell that it's not conscious. I try to gently say her name, hoping that she'll wake, but she doesn't, and so I roll on the side, heaving highly and trying to think of unpleasant things. Like the Major walking in on us. That should do the trick.

Once I'm no longer poking around with uncontrollable parts of my body, I tilt my head a little and look at Clary sleeping. I never really had the chance to do so, she's always the first one up. Her hand is under her cheek, and her lips slightly parted as a faint snore escapes from her, and there's this weird bubble that makes me want to take her in my arms and snuggle against her.

At this, I bluntly get up and leave her room, completely not assuming what just happened. What was that? Noiselessly, I slip in my own bed, trying to ignore the weird feeling that being alone brings to me, and I stare at the ceiling.

I need to stop this. As in now. Because I don't like how my whole body reacts to her presence. It's freaking me out. Because of Jon. Because of the Major. Because their whole family is nuts and keen to violence. I should just stop it.

Jon's PoV.

Today is show and tell, and I can't believe that I'm going to have to bear Simon the Rat. Like, really!? You know what's worst, Mom offered him the drive, pretending he was like family. Like Hell! Over my dead and rotting body! That prick doesn't deserve my baby sister. No one does. But yeah, Mom likes him, so I'll have to bear him and play nice. Mom is scarier than Dad. She's the bad cop back home, though it doesn't seem like that.

Clary is slightly moody as we're all gathered in the court. She has been ever since she woke up. I think Jace and her had an argument, because she keeps on glaring at him, and he keeps on pretending he doesn't see her. I don't know. Probably some girl stuffs. But still, I think it's weird. Usually, the idea of seeing Simon always brings the biggest smile on her face. Because they are 'best friends'. Whatever. He was just stuck in the friendzone until she finally decided to put out for him. And that's how my baby sister lost her virginity to a rat.

When the Major walks in, his eyes linger a second more on Clary, and they exchange a very brief look. They know that they're little play is over. Mom is coming (her two children are here, along with her husband, of course she's coming), and now everyone will know Clary's and Dad's relationship. Because Clary and Mom almost look like twins.

As Clary blows her nose, getting rid of the last traces of her illness, the guests enter, and a here he is with Mom. Everyone goes to their parents (because that's who we invite for show and tell. Family. Not stupid rats), and Mom goes to us to embrace the two of us in a motherly/embarrassing hug. I can literally feel all of their stares on us. But they don't really linger on that as they get to see their family.

From the corner of my eyes, I see Jace with his parents and grandmother, and his eyes are not on Mom, but on Rat Face and Clary, hugging as if they were a couple. Yeah, right. Within seconds I am by Clary's side, and I pull them apart, putting my arm between them as I say: "Let's be clear, RatBoy. You are not to touch her, or come closer than that."

Of course, Clary being the delicate and fragile thing she is, stomps violently on my foot as she growls: "I can still kick your ass, Jon. No matter if Mom is here to save you."

"Language, Clary," Mom reminds her, and Clary waits for her to look elsewhere to make a face. This is so Clary. Still, she deliberately takes RatBoy's hand and tell him:

"Let me show you around, Simon."

RatBoy follows her as I glare at him while Mom asks me how I've been. Apparently Dad keeps on ranting about Clary's attitude and forgets to give her updates about me. Good thing I'm not a jealous kid. I tell Mom about my uninteresting life, my eyes still on RatBoy, when I suddenly realise something that doesn't make sense.

Jace is also glaring at the rat. But Jace doesn't know him. He has no reason to glare at the boy. And now, Clary is talking to Jace's grandmother because she helped her pick up her cane. The granny just doesn't want to let go of her, and Jace just won't stop glaring. After a couple of minutes of Clary trying to escape the old lady's trip, she slightly heaves and presents herself, as well as RatBoy.

And she presents him as the man of her life. I get it, I know where she comes from with this. RatBoy is her first thought. He's the guy who will never close his door on her when she'll be in need. He's the guy who'll tell her that she's being stupid, or that she's not trying hard enough. He's her reliable shoulder with whom she can bitch about everything and anyone without being judge. If anything, I have to give him that.

But what's not normal, it's the way Jace clenched his fists and jaw at Clary's words before he walks away from his own family.

And that's when it clicks. Clary is such a little liar! Jace is not gay, and I fucking knew it! They're just screwing together. And she lied to my face! And he lied to my face. Jace is such a dead man! I tell him that she's my sister, the one girl he cannot touch, and he jumps on her like the motherfucking horny asshole he is. I'm just waiting for us to be alone tonight, and I'm so going to kill him.
