Title: Them Rating: PG-13 Word count: 123 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? Feel the beat now, if you’ve got nothing left, say I don’t want to be in love. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.) Warning: morning after fic.
Clary’s expression is one of exhaustion, but despite the delicate purple circles under her eyes, the corners of her mouth have twitched up in a ghost of a smile. Unguarded, her chest rises and falls as she sleeps, and Mattes curls an arm around her waist and tugs her gently closer to him.
They fit together, her small frame tucked into him in just the right way, and the feeling of rightness that emanates from this is both pain and pleasure.
They are a matched pair, but Mattes doesn’t know if there will be a “them” after this.
Clary murmurs in her sleep and moves closer, and Mattes decides sleepily that the world could end after this and he would have no regrets.

I love this sentence! It's so realistic, and sad and happy at the same time.
