Title: Throw Up Your Hands Rating: PG Word count: 164 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? Everybody, throw up your hands, 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.)
It isn’t hard to tell when Mattes is upset, and Clary can see that her refusal hurts him more than he cares to admit.
Mattes, stop it. I’m not coming home.
She fixes her eyes on the docks of Port Caynn where Mattes had found her and waits to hear what he will say to her.
“Clary.”
Just her name.
“What are you going to do?” she asks, wondering at the tone in his voice; the iron at his core is leaking through his good nature. “Arrest me?”
She holds up her hands, making a mockery of her words, a mockery of the fact that if she would just let it go, let her anger go, then she could return—they could return—to Corus.
But Clary doesn’t want to see Tom right now, Tom or Corus or Jane Street or duties.
“No.”
One word, and Mattes extends a hand to Clary. “I’ll save you.”
From yourself.
But those words never leave Mattes’ mouth.
