Title: First Rating: PG-13 Word count: 188 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: AU: Clary’s rogue years; arguing with Tom brings out a rebellious streak and she runs off to Port Caynn to get away from it all. Mattes follows, to stand between her and the darkness. Is there any way to recover from this? When he first met her, when they first got together. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.)
“Clary—“ Mattes is cut off quickly.
“No,” Clary states, turning to face him.
She sounds so much like her old self—the Dog, the partner he had back in Corus—that Mattes falls silent for a minute. He forgets they’re in Port Caynn, he forgets that most nights she finds herself back on the docks, he forgets that if anyone could see her now, they’d call her Dirty and haul her back to Corus, to the cages.
“Clary—“ he tries again, tries to find the words to tell her I’m worried about you, but she cuts him off again.
“Hush,” she demands, stepping in too close.
His arms come up and around her, pulling her close, and she’ll probably smack him—no, she won’t, she’s pressing in closer.
“Hush,” Clary repeats, and steals away his words and arguments with one kiss.
She pulls back, but Mattes doesn’t protest—did she think he would?—and maybe this is what brings her back closer again.
Her body under his hands almost hums in desperation, and he will never begrudge her this, because he’d do anything to save her.
