Title: Dedicated Rating: PG-13 Word count: 158 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? He was dedicated, by most suckers hated. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.)
When Clary disappears into the night, Mattes knows what it means.
At home, in Corus, she’d be heading home, heading to the home she shared with Tomlan Goodwin. She’d be headed to the Barrel’s Bottom for a drink before the sun rose completely, or she’d be headed to the market to grab something to serve as breakfast after a long Evening Watch shift.
When Clary disappears into the salty, humid nights in Port Caynn, Mattes knows what it means.
Another trip to the docks, another game of hide and seek with the Dock Rats as he searches for where they’ve left his partner this time.
The first few times he goes out looking for her, the rushers on the piers scatter like cockroaches in candlelight, and this startles a tight grin from Mattes.
They should be scared of him.
Soon enough, they figure out for themselves that he’s only here for her, only here to retrieve his Clary.

Aww! Poor Mattes! And lucky Clary, to have him looking after her.
