"Nice try Blondie" Clary teased, dodging a second hit by jace, before landing a hit on his side with the wooden sword, he huffed in exasperaiton and she smirked before he leapt towards her, Clary not expecting this stepped back, swiping at Jace's chest as he landed, but this time, he caught the false blade and pulled it towards him, and clary stubborn as she was, pulled back, but he was stronger, she still didnt let go though as he smirked, pulling her in by the sword until their bodies were inches apart, he leaned in the kiss her, she let his lips brush hers, before bringin her elbow down on his shoulder, he dropped the blade and jerked back, a dramatized look of hurt on his face as he grabbed at his shoulder half heartedly
"Cheap shot" He whined
"Cheap move" She responded, but now it was her that stepped forward, and when she did, jace kicked her feet out from under her, then caught her before she could hit the ground, this time she leaned up and pressed her lips to his, and she felt the warm feeling in her chest first as an arrow flew past her head, she started and turned to see simon
"Hey. You almost decapitated me" She protested simons interruption, jace-looking annoyed-rolled his eyes good naturedly
"Sorry, guess I was blinded by the sights in front of me" Simon smirked, raising an eyebrow
"We already know youre basically blind bloodsucker, but usually you dont shoot arrows at my Fiancee's head" Jace said, an edge in his voice, but simon knew how to ignore it by now
"Oh cut it out" Clary rolled her eyes, detangling her limbs from jaces as isabelle, Emma and Julian pranced thorugh the door to the training room"Were we interrupting something?" Julian asked, a wry smile on his face. He'd been smiling more since his parabatai bond was broken, which Clary found ironic as finiding out you lost your parabatai bond would devastate most nephilim, but it seemed to brighten the boy, everything about him had relaxed, though he still wasnt necessarily happy, he seemed lighter, clary was suddenly reminded of jonathan, how when the darkness left he spoke of never feeling so light, then shook her head to clear the memory
"It's ALL. THE. TIME. now" Izzy complained referring to jace and clary in a wide hand gesture "Its as if getting engaged made them horny teenagers again" she continued "Anyway, maia and lily came up with an idea for the downworlder leadershipplaces in the new clave, and Alec called-" Jace straightened up from where he had been clinging to clary at the mention of Alec "He said we should get to london" At this people looked to isabelle to continue speaking, perhaps for an explanation as to why they were to drop everything and go to london
"Um, why?" Simon asked and isabelle turned to him looking slightly bored, though there was affection in her eyes
"Do I look like an answer machine" She said sarcastically
"No" simon said, smirking. Clary still found it weird to see simon smirk that way, it had only really appeared in him a few months after ascension, she thought he likely picked it up from jace, which was ironic considering
"You look..." simon looked her up and down, not rushed but not slowly eiether "Hot" He finished, isabelles face softened with a grin of her own while emma and julian watched in fascination
"You do" Emma confirmed. Izzy was wearing a tight tanktop that highlighted her chest and was high cut, she matched it with more tight leather pants that were high waisted, leaving a strip of skin showing, and though she wasnt wearing any of her signature heels, she was wearing black socks, which was somewhat endearing, jace rolled his eyes
"Careful lewis, shes still my sister" Isabelle glared at him and his face cracked into a smile
"Dont worry jace, everybody thinks isabelles goregeous" She paused a wicked smile splitting her face "Even julian had a crush on her" Julian's eyes widened, izzy blushed and jace chuckled simon looked confusedly at julian, tilting his head slightly
"Ok, moving on..." Clary started exasperatedly
"Emma" Julian said dragging out her name in exasperation
"what?" emma replied cheekily, she went up on her tiptoes and kissed the top of his nose, smiling happily, julian narrowed his eyes as if considering weather this was enoguh compensation for her revelation but as emma stepped to his side his arm came around her waist as it always did
"Nothing" he replied rolling his eyes back over to Clary Simon, Isabelle, and Jace "So london?" he said.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Clary turned her head around, taking in the beauty of london, she knew that emma and julian werent quite as taken by the sights as they had just returned from London where they had fixed up an old house belonging to the Blackthorn family. She wondered about how she had missed so much in emma, looking back it was obvious, even simon had known there was something off at their parabatai ceromony, hell even she thought something was strange, but then again, it wasnt as if the two had a choice in becoming parabatai, they were caught by circumstances. This lead clary to some of her most troublesome intrusive thought of how she was responsible for others' suffering, how had she just killed sebastian earlier none of this would have happened, no cold peace, no forced parabatai ceremony, no warlock shadowhunter rusurrection. She sighed focusing back on the london streets where they came up to a large building, part of the building was still damaged from the dark war, but aside from that the spiralling turets made a breathtakin gbuilding, as they cam up to the door jace leaned close to her;
"YOu should draw this someday, it just like you, beautiful" he said softly into her hair, she smiled never gettin genough of his sweet comments. When she was young sometimes she wouldnt beleive them or would shrug them off as just comforting words, but she beleived him now as she leaned into his body a little more before a knocking sound snapped her out of her mindless bliss, emma had knocked on the door, everybody knew none of them actually needed to knock, but it seemed crazy to just walk in, when the door opened Alec stood in a tshirt and sweatpants, max behind him as if wanting to see everything his daddy did always, even if that just meant seeing his family and their friends Memma and Jules, max knew he had a longer name, but most people just called him Jules, and him being blue, he tried to follow the crowd when he could
"Hey-" Alec had the breath knocked out of him when Jace hugged him, suprising everybody there, especially considering it had only been a few days. Alec had been to both Buenos Aires again, then Paris to sort out stuff at those two institutes before being called into london because of mysterious demon attacks, the man never really got a break. Emma compared him to julian, the responsibility of so many people relying on you, sure they were very different situations, but that weight couldnt be beared easily.
"Jace- its nice to see you" Alec stated not without humor, as isabelle came up and he pulled her into a side hug, just then max came barrelling out the door and jumped at Jace, who looked suprised for a split second before catching the blue child in his arms, he held him out in front of him a theatrical curious look on hi face
"And who are you, I cant remember" Jace started but max just giggled and jace smiledgiving him a hug before putting max back down and ruffling his hair, clary was wearing a smile so big that jace almost melted
"Ok not to break up the moment here... but why are we here Alec?" Emma questioned, not unkindly
"Oh yeah, well... how do I explain this... Actually you guys should just come in" Alec said, as if he couldnt exactly comprehend whatever was going on either
