Title: Reasons Rating: PG-13 Word count: 156 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? Back it up now, you got a reason to live; 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.
The transition from sleep to waking is a slow, comfortable one, and Clary takes her time; a deep breath is followed by slow, slow stretching and a yawn.
Her eyes flutter open, blinking once, twice, three times against the sun streaming in the window, and realizes something.
For the first time in months, for the first time since before running all the way here to Port Caynn, Clary feels…well, like Clary. There’s no knot of anger roiling in her stomach, and there’s no slow burn—fed by ale, or whatever she could get her hands on—to feed anymore anger.
“Good morning,” a voice whispers over her shoulder, and Clary sees Mattes—he’s the warmth behind her, the arm around her, she realizes—his hair sleep tousled. He looks at her, apprehension warring with slow contentment on his face, and a smile slides its way across Clary’s face in response.
Yes, it is a good morning.
