Title: Afraid Rating: R Word count: 121 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? Feeling good now, don’t be afraid to get down, 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: Rated for drug abuse. Author in no way promotes the use of any drug or mind altering substance.
Clary doesn’t think that Mattes realizes that she’s awake the first time she sees him walk into her room; her head is muzzy with glitter, but the drug is wearing off and she can make out his familiar features drawn into a worried frown.
He tucks her in again—glitter-low gives folk the shakes, Clary remembers—and then he leaves.
She’s torn between two extremes, sad that he’d leave her here, like this, but glad that she doesn’t have to see his expression any longer.
There aren’t any words that come to mind when Clary looks for an explanation.
Realizing that brings a whole new pain; Clary isn’t sure if it’s the drug or Mattes’ disappointment that hurts more right now.

Aww! I so want to jump in there and hug them both and tell them they both end up just fine.
