Title: Home Rating: R Word count: 163 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? She calls him up, she’s tripping on the phone now. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.) Rated for excessive alcohol consumption; author does not condone reckless drinking.
“Mattes?”
Her eyes are large and unfocused, and Mattes curses. Clary’s already drunk off her chair.
“Mattes?” She wobbles, unsteady on her feet, and Mattes grabs her forearm. She’s standing, at least, and her eyes aren’t over-bright; she’s not drugged tonight.
“Gotcha.” He slides an arm around Clary’s waist, taking her weight as she sways dangerously again.
“Let’s get you home,” he murmurs in her ear, and she sags against him and giggles weakly.
“You always come find me, Mattes,” she slurs.
He doesn’t like the look of some of the coves along the edge of the room; they’re watching her far too closely.
“Let’s get out of here, Clary,” he says, tugging her along with him to the door.
“Where d’you wanna go?” she mumbles, tripping over the cobbled road.
“…Home.” He whispers.
“…me too,” she tells his shirt as she weaves again, stumbling.
Mattes bites his lip to keep from replying—its clear that she won’t remember this in the morning.

Ooh! I so wanna know what he was going to say! ETA: Oh! I was having an EDR, and the double meaning of 'home' sank in like 3 seconds after I posted.
