gothampride said: “ are you flirting or starting a fight ? ” Clary
LIPS CLAMP SHUT and Clary peers over the top of her canvas at Kate who is leaning against a desk, arms crossed as her own eyes stare back at Clary intensely and Clary finds herself swallowing over a lump in her throat; dramatically shaking her head as she returns her gaze to the canvas before, hands still as they hold a charcoal stick in place while she desperately replays the conversation that was just taking place in her head.
She’d been commenting on how much more defined and toned Kate’s muscles and limps were compared to others that she had seen, and Clary mentally kicks herself for even opening her mouth. Backpedaling quickly, Clary flashes Kate a bright smile as a blush burns its way across her cheeks. Flirting? Clary didn’t even know how to flirt, not that Kate wasn’t attractive; she was, by far, the most attractive woman Clary had ever seen but... Clary didn’t even know if she looked at women like that.
Noticing that Kate is waiting for a response from her, Clary smiles once again. ‘I was just um... merely mentioning that there aren’t many others who uh... are as visually appealing as uh...’ She trails off. ‘As you are.’
