Title: Missing Her Rating: PG-13 Word count: 147 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’s trying to forget her, that’s how he got with her. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.)
Rushers and Rats are the same anywhere in the country, it seems. The fights that break out in dark corners of Port Caynn, in the back streets that no respectable person goes down alone, end the same as do those in Corus, it seems, unexpectedly and quickly.
Dull throbbing pounds in Mattes’ chest as he catches his breath, and he has to look up and around before he finds Clary, leaning against the far wall of a building.
When his breath returns, Mattes takes the bandage away from Clary and winds it around her forearm.
“Ouch! Mattes, you sarden looby, be careful!” Clary snaps, and Mattes blinks.
Its been a long time—since before they arrived in Port Caynn, he thinks—since she’s told him off, he realizes.
Mattes loosens the bandaging a little, waiting to see if she snaps again.
She doesn’t.
He misses her.
