Title: Shining Rating: PG Word Count: 223 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 2/B Summary: Mattes knows her too well; the knife was never dirty.
“Clary, that knife is clean. It was clean half an hour ago. And I’m pretty sure it was clean before you even started cleaning it.” He was fairly certain that she wouldn’t stab him just to have an excuse to keep on cleaning it, so he sat down beside her on the steps of the court house. “I know you’re nervous,” he began, “but you don’t need to be. Everyone knows he’s the Rattiest Rat that’s been in the Dogs for a long time, so he’ll be sent away. All you need to do is tell them what he used to tell you, and the Provost’s advocate will take care of the rest.” “But what if-“ “Clary.” He rested one hand on top of hers and put the other under her chin, guiding her eyes up to meet his. “You were young, Clary. He was your first partner, and you should have been able to trust him to give you the right advice. Nobody thinks you’re crooked anymore, and nothing that you say today will change that.” He checked to make sure that nobody was watching, and then kissed her gently on the lips. “He’ll get what he deserves, and then we’ll go out for a drink to celebrate. Alright?” The corner of Clary’s mouth turned upwards just a tiny bit, and he saw the gratitude in her eyes. “Alright.”
