“Bloody everlasting hell. What is it with you lot? Can’t you just leave us be and get on with your pathetic lives?”Rebekah was far beyond impressed by the presence of the Shadowhunter in the courtyard. If only they had the same boundries the vampires did. Then she could get rid of him. “I thought I told you, Wayland. I didn’t want to see you anymore, and the last time we spoke, you seemed to agree.”

[wxyl4nd]

Jace rolled his eyes and moved closer to Rebekah. “I would be happy to live my ‘pathetic life’ far away from this hell hole, but sadly, I don’t choose where I go next on a mission. The clave does.” He said. “It seems as if you and you little family have caught their interest yet again, so here I am. It is nice seeing you again too, Rebekah.”

“what the hell was that thing?”

[wxyl4nd]

“Demon. And I suppose by that statement you don’t know much about those.”

She leaned on the wall. “I can. Hold me still.” She said leaning on the wall softly lifting her shirt she got out out the stele from her pocket Shaking she tried to trace it as she dropped the stele. “Fuck. I can’t.”

[wxyl4nd]

He held her tightly as she tried drawing the rune. He sighed when she didn’t manage to do it. “Okay, sit down. You need to stop moving, you’re bleeding out faster that way.” He said and helped her sit with her back against the alley’s wall. He lifted her shirt again gently and took out his stele, drawing the rune accurately.

She relaxed visibly hearing those words escape his lips. Throwing her arms around his neck she breathed in a sigh of relief and just hugged him close for a moment. “You better not be lying, or I’ll definitely kick your ass next time.” She breathed only half joking. 

[wxyl4nd]

He was surprised that she chose to hug him instead of slapping him across the face for maybe the third time. But he hugged her back with a smile on his lips. “Did I ever lie to you, Clary Fray?”

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

Her eyes widened at that. “Have you met you?” She stated jokingly. “You could have any girl in New York.” So why would he pick her of all people? Her tongue glossed over her lower lip trying to think of something, anything to day at this point. Nothing came to her. “What do you want me to say Jace? That I like you? When you’re not being an ass yeah I do, but I don’t want to get my hopes up for something that is not likely to happen.” She didn’t want to have to be stuck like Simon left pining over someone who couldn’t return her feelings. 

[wxyl4nd]

“Yes, it’s true. I could get any girl in New York. But I don’t want any girl in New York.” He said with a smirk. He smirk became to a soft smile. “I like you too, Clary. And as hard as it is to believe, I’m not only doing this to lead you on. I really do like you.” He said. 

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

“You’re not interested in an actual relationship.” She voiced once again assuming things she didn’t know to be true. Her breath caught in her throat as he touched her check gently leaning in to his hand she nodded biting her lip. “Of course I trust you what kind of idiotic question is that?”

[wxyl4nd]

“And what about me made you think that?” He asked, stroking her cheeks gently with his thumb. “Well, if you trust me then why do you never let me in?” He asked honestly. He never opens up that much to someone, but he really felt that he could. He hoped that Clary would feel the same way once he does.

“Watch out !”

[lookingforadistraction-lydia]

“It’s helping a bit yeah.” She said her tone a bit weak. “Fine,” She said letting him support her knowing she didn’t have much choice.

[wxyl4nd]

He helped her walk. He wasn’t very sure where to go. They were too far from the institute so they couldn’t walk there. He stopped by an alley and walked in there, because no one will see them there. “Could you draw the healing rune?”

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

“Liked it?” She questioned emerald hues shifting as she played with her nails. Really there was no reason to lie it wasn’t as if Jace couldn’t already tell. “Maybe a little.” She admitted finally looking up at him through her lashes a small pout gracing her lips. “Would it matter if I did? Wouldn’t change that it was a mistake.” She had to keep telling herself that because if she believed that for even a second Jace might care for her her heart would shatter the moment she found out he had some new hook up. 

[wxyl4nd]

There was an unavoidable smile appearing on his lips once she admitted that she did like the kiss. His expression changed a little when she said it’s still a mistake. “Why do you think it’s a mistake? I wanted to do this, and so did you, clearly.” He said. He walked closer to her and touched her cheek. “Don’t you trust me?” 

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

“What do you want me to say Jace that it was the best moment of my life?” She cocked a brow before shaking her head. If she was being honest it did come pretty close to that. Kissing someone you had feelings for, even if they are a complete jackass couldn’t compare to much else. She wouldn’t say that to him though he already had a big enough head. “Who says I’m angry?” Annoyed sure but angry was taking it a little too far in her opinion. Crossing her arms over her chest the redhead shrugged. “I do have a pretty good teacher when he’s not being a playboy.” She hummed half complimenting him. 

[wxyl4nd]

“Maybe, or at least admit that you liked it.” He said, shrugging. He didn’t see a reason for her to lie about it, so maybe she really didn’t. Which was weird for him to accept because he could have swear there is chemistry. But he didn’t say anything further. “You’re lucky I’m just letting you hit me without fighting back. Otherwise you’d spend most of your time on the ground. For improving your punching you could use a punching bag. Even kicks. Plus, it’s starting to hurt.”

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

Clary rolled her eyes at the first comment. “Technically I kissed you first, and it was a mistake Jace.” She lied lifting her shoulder in a shrug, she definitely didn’t want to admit that she enjoyed it. “Mm. No I don’t think I have besides you’re the one who obviously get’s a thrill out of it since you keep coming back for more.” She teased before getting into the stance Jace had mirrored for her earlier. The annoyance she felt toward him helped her precision as she aimed for that pretty face of his, and another blow aimed for his gut.

[wxyl4nd]

“A mistake? That’s a little offending.” He titled his head. He wondered what made her kiss him and then a moment after pull back. It didn’t sound very right to him. “I don’t get a thrill of people hitting me, I’m just trying to help you train.” He said with a smirk. He coughed once she hit his gut again. “You’re getting better. I wonder what made you angry.” He teased. He let out another cough. “I think you should start training with a punching bag.”

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

Shaking her head she pushed herself up offering him a hand.She really wanted to wipe that stupid smirk off his face. “Why would anything be wrong?” She asked her voice a little shaky as she willed her heart to stop beating to fast. It was no use when he was close nothing made sense anymore. “You’re the one who wanted work on training no? I’m just trying to set a good example.” And taking out her newly developed frustrations on him for making her fall for him seemed like a good idea.

[wxyl4nd]

He took her hand and stood up in front of her. “Well usually when I kiss a girl, the other don’t pull back so quickly.” He said in a cocky matter to hide his confusion. “Oh so you didn’t hit me enough today?” He grinned. “Okay, let’s see you do it.” He said, shrugging.

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

Her face lit up like a Christmas tree as she pulled back instantly burying her face in his shoulder. What the hell was she thinking? Her lips tingled her whole body felt like it was on fire where he’d touched. Worst part about the kiss was that she’d actually enjoyed it and the small voice in the back of her head kept reminding her that he was a playboy so the kiss probably meant nothing to him. 

[wxyl4nd]

He smiled at her a moment before her face buried in his shoulder. He caressed her orange curls with his hand, cupping her cheek with his other hand and getting her to lift her face up to look at him. “Is anything wrong?” He asked with his normal smile, wondering what got her to pull away so soon.”

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

“Well of course you do.” She grumbled rolling her eyes. The redhead fought back the urge to hit him again chewing on the inside of her lip as she lay on top of him. They were supposed to be training how did Jace figure this one into the equation. Her mouth felt dry and she was sure Jace could feel her heart hammering at this point. Running her tongue over her lips she finally glanced up at the blond before leaning down to capture his lips in a chaste kiss.

[wxyl4nd]

Jace was surprised by her lips meeting his, but he returned the kiss imminently. He hands went to her lower back, holding her close. There was many times he thought about doing this, but never did. It surprised him to see that it was actually her making the move, but he didn’t complain. Her lips were soft just like he thought it would be.

[huntressofillusion-deactivated2]

“Only in the beginning.” She scoffed shaking her hea. Honestly she was surprised when he started to fall even more so when she found herself tumbling on top of him. “EEK!” Lips inches from his it was really hard not to take advantage of the position her cheeks colored red. Her cheeks puffed out in a pout and she aimed a punch for his gut for being an asshole. “Not funny Wayland.”

[wxyl4nd]

A playful chuckle escaped his lips as they fell together. He quickly noticed how close they were and how uncomfortable Clary felt about it. He could see the red on her cheeks and he started feeling the urge to close the distance between their lips. “I think it’s funny.” He said with a satisfied grin, as if the girl’s reaction amuses him. His eyes wandered back to her lips.

[lookingforadistraction-lydia]

“I wasn’t in danger, I could have handled them, one my own. But I was too worried about you being there distracting me.” She said feeling dizzy all of a sudden. “Good, let me die next..” She said and than began to lose her balance. “Maybe getting someone to heal it will be fine.”

[wxyl4nd]

“Fine, I’m sorry for distracting you. Is it seriously making you feel better?” He rolled his eyes. Jace caught her arms and held her still. “You can’t heal yourself that way. Let me take you somewhere safer than here.”
