Title: Tense Rating: PG-13 Word count: 164 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: AU: Clary and Mattes get off shift at the precinct in time for some rest and relaxation. Nobody’s gonna see us go crazy, so baby, why don’t we just dance? (lyrics from Why Don’t We Just Dance? By Josh Turner.)
It was working, Mattes’ little plot, but Clary wasn’t going to straight out tell him what her hammering heart and flushed cheeks were already starting to give away. He wanted her to relax off duty, he told her, but dancing in her living room was more… well…
Clary flushed a little more and ducked her head, looking at Mattes’ shoulder instead of his face, which was suddenly very focused on her.
“What’s the matter?” Mattes asked, his voice rumbling in his chest, and she felt the reverberations of his words where their bodies touched.
Clary smoothed her hands over his shoulders—in order to focus on something other than his too-attentive face and not just to touch him, she told herself flatly.
“You’re supposed to be relaxing too,” she murmured, rubbing at the taut muscles beneath her hands, “but you’re as tense as I am.”
Clary turned to look up at him as she said this, and found herself mouth to mouth with Mattes.

Hee, so very convenient! It fills me with glee that she knows what he's up to and she's admitting to herself that it's working.
