Title: Losing It Rating: PG Word count: 165 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? Now he’s losing it, she don’t care. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.)
Mattes finds Clary watching the boats come in one evening near sundown, the same time of day that he’d normally see her walking down the street towards him and the Jane Street Kennel back home in the Lower City.
Port Caynn is no Corus, and right here, right now, neither of them are Dogs or on duty.
He’s just Mattes, and he’s just worried about a woman named Clary.
“What’s going on?” he asks. “You didn’t give warning, you just left.”
Clary can hear the questions that Mattes isn’t asking, but she only answers the one sitting in the silence between them.
“Just needed a break, Mattes. A change of scenery. You don’t get sunsets like this over the Lower City, that’s for certain.”
You also don’t get bad feelings in the pit of your stomach when your partner deserts, he wants to tell her.
He won’t leave, Mattes decides right then and there, he won’t return to Jane Street until she comes with him.
