Title: Words We Regret Rating: PG Word count: 116 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Clary and Mattes argue sometimes; argument #2. We all say words we regret, we all cry tears, we all bleed red. (lyrics from Bleed Red by Ronnie Dunn.)
A pebble on the window jerked Clary to consciousness; how long had she been asleep against the smooth pane?
Disoriented, she rubbed at her eyes before she saw the person outside who had thrown the pebble.
The silhouette was familiar.
She wasn’t sure she wanted to see Mattes now, though, after their argument earlier in the evening. She had screamed, he had yelled—which had surprised her; he’d never raised his voice before—and they’d both been sent home by Ahuda.
Another pebble pinged against the glass—how long had he been there?
Did it matter? He must still want to talk to her, even after…
She scrambled down from the window and to the door.

I like that she's a bit freaked out that he'd raised his voice, but that she's in a hurry to go and open the door for him. It shows such a strong sense of their partnership enduring.
