Clace On A Whole New Level

Clary had left Magnus's… Office? Work space? Magic room? Magic cave? Magic Lair? Whatever it was that Magnus wanted to call it. Clary had entered Magnus's guest room where she saw Simon already putting down Izzy. Alec let go of Clary's hand and ran over to the bed jumping on up next to his sister. Alec got comfy and placed his arms around Izzy protectively. Simon had pulled up the covers tucking them both in while Clary turned her head to look at Jace who still was hanging on to her.

"Jace? Do you want to sleep here too?" Clary asked him kindly. Jace smiled and nodded, it wasn't one of his usual smiles. This smile was different, it was a smile she'd seen more than once on her older Jace. Clary was suddenly very aware of what Jace might do next. She walked over to the bed slowly lowering him onto the mattress.

Jace stood up and yelled "I don't wanna go to bed!" Before jumping off and running out of the room. I thought he was getting tired… Clary thought and sighed in frustration. Of course Jace would be the difficult child when it comes to bedtime. Clary looked at Simon to make sure he was okay with the Lightwood kids before hurrying off after Jace.

Clary walked into Magnus's living area to find it completely empty. Jace was not going to make this easy. Clary looked under the couches, and under the armchairs, Jace was small meaning he could basically fit anywhere. Clary had even looked under the sink to see if Jace decided to hide there but no suck luck. Clary walked into Magnus's room, she knew Magnus wouldn't be the happiest warlock to find her in there but Clary didn't care. She just wanting to find Jace and put him to bed.

Clary decided to check all the classic little kid hiding places. Wardrobe. She looked behind a wardrobe. She instantly knew that it was far too small to hold Magnus's clothes and realized it must have been bought for Alec. She assumed correctly, when Clary opened the doors she only saw black clothing, with gear and weapons, but no Jace. She closed it moving to the next hiding spot she could think of for a kid.Under the bed. Clary made her way to Magnus's bright yellow bed, how did Alec put up with the bedding? Clary wondered and she crouched down lifting up the bed curtains. Once again there was no Jace, but there wasn't nothing… Under the bed was filled with both Magnus and Alec's clothing. Clary smirked and was a little embarrassed feeling like she had invaded their space.

Standing up, Clary heard a small giggle. Closet, of course. Clary opened the doors to Magnus's walkin closet to find an even bigger mess than under the bed. Magnus's closet looked like a glitter bomb had gone off. Not one piece of clothing wasn't covered in glitter, Clary was pretty sure she was inhaling glitter every second she stayed in there. Clary pushed through the wall of clothing until she reached the back of the closet. Clary tried to move to the left to get a better view of the taller cupboards where Jace was most likely hiding. Doing so cause Clary to trip and become tangled in the clothes which were on hangers. Clary fell to the floor smacking her head on the way down. "Ow!" Clary said which rubbing her head. "Jace you better be in here." She muttered in which the reply she received was more giggling from somewhere above her.

Clary's eyes shot open to see a little boy with gold hair and eyes staring at her from the top of the cupboards.Jace. Jace jumped off the cupboards and raced out of the closet. Clary struggled to sit up and raced out after Jace just in time to see him as he entered the washroom. Clary was only a few seconds behind Jace but it was still enough time for him to be sitting in the bathtub with the hose.

The next thing Clary knew, she was hearing the sound of running water and was being soaked with water by her four year old boyfriend sitting in the tub. Clary lets out a little scream and puts her hands up covering her face. As if that would do anything you moron, Clary thought. Jace dropped the hose causing water to now spray everywhere and ran from the room. Clary ran to the bathtub and turned the water off. As she went after Jace she slipped on the water covered floor and smacking into Magnus.

Luckily Magnus had caught hold of Clary preventing them both from falling down. "What the hell is going on?" Magnus asked frantically at Clary. Clary started answering huffing every few words to catch her breath. "J-Jace is-is a de-devious ch-child." Magnus starts laughing at this. "You find this funny?" Clary asks astonished.

Magnus smiles and replies "Seeing your now four year old boyfriend torment you because he has a little crush? Yes, I find it hilarious." As if on cue, Jace runs out of Magnus's bedroom with a handful of glitter and tosses it in the air, most of it sticking to a soaked Clary. Magnus lets go of Clary and grabs Jace while he starts spinning in the rain of glitter.

"I thought you found this funny?" Clary asks Magnus while he passes her Jace.

"I did," Magnus replied. "Until he started wasting my glitter." Magnus snapped his fingers cleaning the glitter off the floor. "This glitter cannot go to waste." And with that Magnus returned to his Magic Lair.

Clary had set Jace down at the kitchen table and gave him a glass of warm milk and a teaspoon of honey to help him sleep. A trick her mom used on her when she was a kid to help her sleep. Simon had just walked into the kitchen when Clary had passed Jace his drink. Simon frozen and took in the sight in front of him. Clary was soaked and covered in glitter, different parts of the floor was covered in water, and there was a pathway of clothes leading out of Magnus's room which was dragged along when Clary ran out. On top of all of that there was Jace sitting at the table drinking a milk-like beverage looking totally unharmed with Clary not daring to take her eyes off of him. "What happened to you?" Simon asked Clary.

Clary just then looked at him not noticing him that moment. "Jace happened." Simon thought her answer was good enough.But he couldn't help saying 'Clary and Jace on a whole new level' he said.'Clary glared at him.He didn't dare to say anything else but raised his hands in surrender.

Soon enough Jace's eyes started to close. Clary walked over to him and lifted him up into her arms. "Where do you want to sleep Jace?" Clary asked politely seeming to have already forgotten all the trouble Jace just caused her.

Jace didn't give them a proper answer, he just muttered something that sounded like "friends". Clary carried him to the guest room where Alec and Izzy were.

Seeing that Simon had already set up a small spot on the couch for Jace to sleep, Clary placed him there. Clary had carefully placed him on the couch and tucked him in, she had placed a soft kiss on his head and touched the side of his face before standing up and walking out.

Clary had stopped at the door and turned to look at all of the kids. Jace was now in a deep sleep looking more innocent than ever. Alec and Izzy were both asleep on the bed huddled together, Alec having a protective arm around his sister. At some point Chairman Meow must have jumped up of the bed because he was now sleeping curled right up to Alec.

Clary turned off all the lights and walked out with a smile on her face despite being covered in water and glitter.
