Title: All the Same Rating: PG Word count: 134 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Clary and Mattes argue sometimes; argument #2. We’re all the same, we all bleed red. (lyrics from Bleed Red by Ronnie Dunn.)
The next time Clary gets her loincloth in a twist, Mattes bites his tongue and says nothing; they’ve only recently recovered from a very real, very big spat between them and he doesn’t want to provoke another one.
She’s about to open her mouth when she realizes that he hasn’t moved; hasn’t said her name, softly and calmly or laid his hand on her shoulder like he always does when she’s upset.
She turns to him then, because she can tell that he’s still standing beside her, and his face is so forlorn that she forgets her anger and gives him a small smile.
The grin he returns to her is more than enough to smooth over her ruffled feathers, and she’s glad, so glad, that they’re like this again. Partners again. Together again.

Yay, I love that sense of their partnership overcoming everything, no matter how tentative it might occasionally seem.
