Title: You and I Rating: PG Word count: 156 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Clary and Mattes argue sometimes; argument #2. You and I, we all bleed red, we all taste rain. (lyrics from Bleed Red by Ronnie Dunn.)
Walking away from Mattes after their argument had been like pulling a bandage away from a half healed wound; outside, Clary had had to pause, to stop and press a hand over her heart because she could swear that she was bleeding, that something had ripped and torn and now blood was oozing from under the sterile cotton bandage.
How dare he, how dare—
How dare she speak to her partner like that?
The thought crossed her mind, unbidden, and Clary slammed down her defenses, refusing to think about it.
Instead, she sat in the window after she got home and watched the city move along around her; without her—she wasn’t to return to patrol until she and Mattes had resolved their argument between them.
The air tasted like a rainstorm was approaching, hot and heavy and oppressive, but no matter how long Clary waited, watching out the window, nothing happened; there was no relief.

Ooh, I love that she's in denial about it!
