It was lunch time, and Clary was sitting by herself at the table that she appropriated herself. Since the first time she had sat here, every time that she had come at the cafeteria, the table was clear for her. She had her tray in front of her and was listening to Slash's solo of November Rain. Someone sat in front of her, and she didn't even need to check who it was to know it was her Jon. She removed her headphones, not looking away from her tray.

"Where is lover boy?"

"Why should I know?"

"Because you're together?"

"Ah, right. He might be with his sister or something."

Jon looked down at his tray before looking at his sister's.

"Is this supposed to be food?"

"Don't know, I've been avoiding to think about it."

"So how did Flynn Rider reacted to you being taken?"

"How should I know? He ditched Calculus. Which was actually a good thing, I had the whole table to sleep."

Jon shook his head before looking at both of the Lightwoods coming toward them. He smiled wondering how Clary would react to all those new people sitting next to her. The Lightwood boy sat next to her while his sister sat next to Jon. He friendly smiled to her, and she did the same.

"So Clarissa. You and my brother? I never would have guessed."

Clary looked at her, wondering if he had told her about them, and mostly if he had told her about the true nature of their relationship.

"You guys are actually the talk of the day. Everyone is talking about how Alec is dating the ... Ice Queen? That's what you called her right?"

She had turned her head to Jon who silently agreed, grinning at his sister. He knew she had hoped for an invisible relation, but with her being already the talk of the school, he knew it was lost in advance. Clary looked at him and grimaced, making him laugh a bit.

"Oh, come on Akuma. Don't be so closed to people! Mingle."

She rolled her eyes and turned to Alexandre Lightwood, decided to ignore her brother.

"How was your day Lightwood?"

"Clary, here people don't call each other by their last names. Especially when they're dating."

Clary glared at her brother, not without blushing. She hated being rude, or not following the traditions and habits.

"How was your day Alexandre?"

"Alec. And you know the routine of high school, nothing more and yours?"

"The routine of having a pain in the ass brother behind you. Nothing more."

He chuckled while Jon put his hand on his heart, faking to be hurt, and then he wiped a fake tear.

"And there I thought I was supposed to be your best friend. Sad... Anyway, I heard there are soccer tryouts tonight."

"You play soccer. Alec does to. It'd be so cool if you get into the team. Oh, and you know what? We're seeking a new cheerleader, you should come Clarissa! Like that it'll be the four of us!"

"You can call her Clary. She dates your brother, you can go on the nicknames. And you can call me Jon."

Clary growled before muttering between her gritted teeth that they were no way in Hell that she'd try out for cheerleading.

"Come on Akuma, it'll be fun. I know you don't know the meaning of the word, but come on."

"Nope."

"And if I beat you at arm-wrestling? Will you go to the tryouts?"

"Last time you tried you cried for two weeks, Tenshi." (Angel)

He put his arm up, letting his elbow rest on the table and Clary took it without hesitation. She had beat him countless time at this game, and even though he had gotten stronger lately, she still felt confident about it. And even if she lost, tryout didn't mean she would enter the team. No way in Hell she would.

Once their arms and hands were well placed, Jon winked at his sister, and they started wrestling. Clary let him have advantage for a bit before doubling her strength, and making his arm bend on the other side. He struggled a bit to maintain his arm stable as she was doing everything she could to make his hand touch the table, when suddenly Jon had a renewal of strength, and in a second, he had her hand touch the table.

"Suck it Akuma! This is so good! I should have bet a Hell lot more!"

"Shut it. I'll do your stupid tryout!"

She got up and got rid of her untouched tray before heading to her next class. She was pissed that she had lost, but she was even more pissed that she had to go to this stupid tryout now. There was no way in Hell she would enter the team, so it felt for her like a waste of time.

She felt someone's presence behind her, and she turned to it, ready to unleash her wrath upon the person, but then she realized it was Lightwood ... Alec. He walked to her and proposed to take her to her next period.

"Sorry for taking off like that. I guess I'm not used to socializing."

"It's okay. I wanted to ask you if you'd come to diner tonight at my house."

"Your house as in 'meet my parents' your house?"

"Yeah. Actually this whole thing is mostly for them. They're really close minded on that matter."

"Oh, so I'll have to do more socializing..."

"If you don't want to..."

"No. I'll do it. Just ... I'm vegan so no meat please."

He nodded and kissed her forehead before leaving her in front of her Arts class. Clary entered the room, knowing that this would be the hour in during which she would finally enjoy herself.

.~°~. .~°~. .~°~.

It was PE, and Jace did everything he could to arrive late. He knew they were starting the wrestling session, and there was no way in Hell he was to be teamed up with her again. That little traitor! How could she have sex with him and then date his brother? His brother among all the guys of this fucking school! And how did he manage to actually talk to her and convince her to date him. Alec never talked to girls, and Jace even thought that he was gay. He hated the fact that his brother was now dating the person of his desires.

When he arrived in PE, he saw her vehemently talking with her brother. Jace couldn't know if they're were arguing, or joking around, but it seemed pretty serious. He couldn't help but smirk at the idea that everything wasn't so great in her little Paradise. Anything that could hurt her was great.

The teacher teamed him up with Sebastian, and he was perfectly fine with it. Sebastian was easy to handle. But then again, who wasn't? Except that little redhead. The class started, and he tackled Sebastian to the floor effortlessly. He did it again, and again, and again until Sebastian asked for a break. Jace shrugged and sat on the bench, watching the class and looking for his redhead. No matter with whom she was, she was still his. No one had seen that face he had seen. No one but him. Or he hoped so. He hoped that his brother didn't do anything more than peck her on the lips.

Clary was fighting with Jon. The whole class had stopped, but they were still wrestling. They had long forgotten about the class, only trying to get the better of the other. Jon was big and strong, but Clary was small and agile. Every time Jon thought he had her in his arms, she managed to squirm her way out of them and to take back the control of the fight. Soon, they forgot that it was just about wrestling, and were actually fighting, pulling hair, knocking one another. None of them wanted to surrender. At some point, Clary was on her brother's back, her legs wrapped around him, her arms locked around his neck while his own arms were on her back through her head as he was trying to get rid of her. The teacher shouted them to stop, and Jon fell face against floor, flipping her at the last moment to make her fall on her back.

"Geez I missed that!"

"Next time I won't go easy on you Tenshi!"

They both laughed before getting up in front of everyone. Jace looked at them and at their complicity and he felt jealous of it. But he quickly shook of the feeling of it because he knew it wasn't normal, he had no reason to be. He directly went to soccer, eager to get rid of his anger. But he knew, he'd have to wait to really play. Today were the tryouts to replace Mark and his broken coccyx, meaning there would be a lot of lame people attempting to get in the team.

He was on the field doing warming up and eyeing from time to time the cheerleaders (maybe one them would help him take his mind of that redhead!) when he saw her brother and her coming to the field. Right, he had said he loved soccer, and from what Jace had heard at the party, he used to be captain of his old team.

Jace looked at them as they were arguing once again and thought that they couldn't look less like twins. Besides their eyes, they had nothing in common. They were actually the perfect opposite, like yin and yang, like fire and ice. Suddenly, he picked her up and brought her to the cheerleaders before putting her down and coming to the field.

"I will kill you for that Jon!"

Her voice had travelled through the field, angry as ever, and Jace couldn't help but grin. She was going to do the cheerleaders tryouts. This was going to be fun.

Jonathan arrived and after presenting himself, started kicking the ball. Jace couldn't help but notice that he was good. Really good. And with what happened with the others, Jace could tell that he was the best by far. He was going to be in the team, he had to.

As they finished the tryouts, so did the girls. Alec came to stand next to him, but he didn't want to talk to him. He knew that he hadn't done a thing. How could he know what had happened in the janitor's closet? No, the only one to blame here was Clarissa. Speaking of the Devil, she was the last one of the tryouts, and she was in the middle of her performance. And she was kicking ass, twirling, jumping, throwing her body in unnatural positions. Just looking at her like that made Jace want to take her right there, right then.

When she finished, she bowed before glaring at her brother, straightening up.

"I hope you failed your tryout. Like that you'll sob for weeks and leave me the Hell alone."

"Love you too Akuma."

They all went to their respective lockers in order to shower, and once Clary was cleaned, she tied her wet hair in a high ponytail. Most of the girls were still not done, and she left, craving to ride. Riding would help her get rid of all the pressure she had been put through today. She leaned on her bike, glancing at her brother's and thinking how much people and her weren't a good combination.

"Already done? Geez I took more time than you to get ready."

"Yeah, well what can I say? I don't waste time in front of the mirror... I'm not eating home tonight by the way, so it'll be just you and ... you."

"Hot date with lover boy?"

"More like dinner with the family."

Jon burst out of laughter, holding his sides. Clary waited for him to calm down and when he did he looked at his sister, unable to stop himself from smiling. This situation was getting funnier by the minute.

"I wish I could be a little bug and spy on you!"

"Well, you could go instead of me, it could work. You know the whole point is for him to show a girl to his parents. You fit more to this description than I do."

"Sorry, already have a date with an actual girl. One who doesn't try to beat me every chance that she get."

"Wait until she knows you!"

He stuck his tongue to her and humped his bike, asking her if she was coming home with him. She shook her head no, saying that she'd go to the shooting stand. Their father had subscribed to it as soon as they arrived because it was a thing they used to go to in Japan. Every Sunday, when people would go to mass, the three of them would go shoot at targets.

.~°~. .~°~. .~°~.

As soon as he arrived at his home, Jace went to his room, not wanting to talk to Alec nor Izzy. Izzy had be nagging him about Alec's date, saying that she knew she wasn't that bad, and that she could already see herself be BBF with her. Well, good luck with that. The only person she seemed lenient to talk to was her brother. She talked, laughed and argued with her brother as if they were in their own little bubble, but then again they were twins. It must have been that special connection that twins have.

At some point Maryse came to his door, telling him to come downstairs for dinner. When he got out of his room, Maryse was still there.

"We have company, so behave yourself."

"I always do."

She gave him the look, and he lowered his head. He knew that his tongue wasn't Maryse's best friend, especially when he got angry with people he didn't like. They both went downstairs and once in the corridor, he saw Clarissa, taking off her helmet. He almost went back to his room, but he decided to stay. She undid her ponytail, making her red hair fall around her tiny face and then she looked at him, surprised crossing her eyes.

Alec took her helmet, and she bowed her head to their parents, giving her name and last name in the process. Robert and Maryse looked at each other, surprised by her behavior, and that's when Jace explained her actions.

"She's from Japan."

Maryse nodded her comprehension and they all went to the dining room. She sat next to Alec (of course), but ended up just in front of him, who was sitting next Izzy, Max being at a friend's house. They all sat and Maryse told everyone to help themselves. Clarissa clasped her hands before her chest, and muttered something, quickly bowing her head. No one said anything, and as Robert was taking the plate of peas, he started to talk to her.

"So Clarissa why did you leave Japan? I heard that once you get there you never want to leave."

"I followed my parents here. My father had a job offer he couldn't pass on, so ... here we are."

"So you speak Japanese?"

"And French, and German, and English."

They all laughed a little, but Jace saw that she wasn't comfortable with this whole questioning thing. But somehow, it made him feel good, because it was like having a small revenge on her. He decided to annoy her even more.

"So how did Alec managed to ask the Ice Queen out?"

"He didn't. I did. Alec is nice and that something appealing in a guy."

She was glaring at him, shooting daggers at him which he gave back. There was no way in Hell he would feel guilty because of something she did. Maryse took her attention off of him.

"Izzy told us you have a twin brother."

"Jonathan. A real p... A real joy."

"It's so weird when they're together. It's like they mind talk. Always teasing each other but never hurting the other. You should have seen them at lunch arm wrestling and all. It was so funny."

"Except for the part where I got beaten."

"Well, you saw your brother's musculature. You didn't expect to win, did you?"

"Do I have to kick you as ... your butt again to prove you that I'm not as fragile as you think Herondale?"

Jace growled, feeling blood rising to his cheeks. Why did she have to bring this out? It was humiliating enough at school, and now Robert was going to make all thing out of this.

"You beat Jace to the ground? Ha ha. I would have paid a lot of money to see that."

Jace got up, saying that he wasn't hungry anymore, and he fled the table under Maryse's disapproving eyes. He laid on his bed, trying to repress his memories of her. The memory of her small legs around his neck, the memory of her soft lips on his, the memory of her tiny hands caressing very part of his body.

At some point he went to the bathroom, judging that he had waited long enough and that she should have been gone. But as he was about to go in the bathroom, he saw her in front of the door, on her way in. Without even thinking about it, he pushed her in the bathroom, and locked the door behind him.

"My brother? Of all people you could have hooked up with, you chose my brother!"

"I didn't know! You're nothing alike, and you don't have the same family name."

"My brother!"

They had been whispering all along, all too aware of their closeness, each of their bodies aching for the other. He took a step closer to her, and she backed off, anger in her eyes.

"Let me go Herondale."

That made him snap. The fact that she still called him by his family name when she called Alec by his short name. He tackled her against the wall, decided to make her whisper his name. He wanted to hear his name roll in her mouth, heavy with desire. He was being an asshole, but he wanted it so much. He leaned toward her, inches away to kiss her, both of her hands imprisoned in his own.

"Why don't you call me by name? It's Jace."

She didn't say anything, and he leaned closer to kiss her neck. He heard her gasp when his lips touched her skin, and he let go of one of her hands to grab one of her boobs, still kissing her soft and milk-like neck.

"Say it, say my name. We're more than intimate now. We did fuck together."

Clary didn't say anything, torn between her envy for him to keep doing whatever he was doing, and her moral obligation telling her she should shove him off. She wanted to say his name, but that would have meant destroying that invisible barrier that had kept her away from him. She bit her lip when his hand squirmed under her bra and his fingers started playing with her nipple. His whole body was against hers, and she could feel his cock harden making her fingers itch to seize it and her pussy wet.

"Say it. Why don't you say it?"

She just wouldn't say it. He wanted her so badly to say it. He wanted to hear how seductive his name could be whispered in his ear by her voice. He started grinding against her, his lips itching for her pink ones. Slowly he moved his lips to hers, kissing her neck and jaw all along the way, and finally he had them. And the fire was there. The fire he had be longing for for over a week. He moaned against her mouth, which surprised him. Jace Herondale didn't moan. But he couldn't care less. She was here, her lips on his, her body against his. He could feel how conflicted she was, but he kept on kissing her, all his body aching for hers. Slowly, his hand left her boob to find their way to her trousers, and when he opened the first button, she broke the kiss.

"Jace ... stop."

He heaved in the creek of her neck. Finally she had said it. Her voice heavy of lust and desire, she had his name. They stayed like that a few seconds that seemed to last forever. Him appreciating how his name sounded in her mouth, and her feeling guilt crushing her.

She knew it was a fake relation that she had with Alec, but still, doing what she had just done with his brother was something she never thought she would do. This was wrong. She shoved him off, angry against him, but even more angry against herself.

"How could you do that? I am with your brother! Does fraternity means nothing to you?"

"It means everything to me... I shouldn't have done that, I won't do it again."

And with that he ran off the bathroom, taking refuge in his room. How could be he be such an asshole to his own brother? Finally he had found someone he was fond of, and Jace couldn't wait to rip her away from him. He was being an asshole, and he knew it. But why did it have to be Clarissa? The girl he wanted more than anything? The girl he didn't want to see with anyone but himself. Why? And mostly, why was he so obsess with her?

~.o.O.o.~

Clary got back home only to find her brother waiting for her on the couch, playing at Ray-Man. She sat next to him, concerned by his choice of game. Usually he would play to this kind of game when he was depressed or blue.

"Did your date was that bad?"

"You have no idea. She wasn't straight."

Clary bursted out of laughter before silently asking for forgiveness.

"Well, that means we both hooked up with lesbians. Just another thing that we shared."

"It's not funny. I'm not even sure she knew it!"

"Ha ha ha! This is getting better and better."

Jon growled before putting the remote down and shoving his sister to make her fall from the couch. Then he laid there, forbidding her to sit back on it. She didn't mind and just leaned her head on the couch, her eyes closed. Jon looked at the ceiling, petting his sister's hair.

"How was your 'date'?"

"Mmmm I don't know. Good I guess. Except in the end."

"What happened?"

"Flynn Rider is Alec's brother. That's just my luck."

Jon chuckled, wondering how Flynn Rider reacted to Clary being forever off limits. He saw how he looked at his sister, how he always had his eyes on her, trying to make eye contact with her. But the poor bastard fell on the most oblivious girl of the planet. She wouldn't notice him staring at her, even if he was just before her face.

"It's not funny!"

"How did he react?"

"Bad. He didn't stay though dinner and then he trapped me in the bathroom."

"Did he gave you a big O?"

"Are you insane? I am officially with his brother. What do you think of me?"

"Then what did he want?"

"I don't know it was weird. First he accused me of doing it in purpose and then he wanted me to say his name for some unknown reason."

Jon sat back, laughing his lungs out. Who would have thought that Clary could be so oblivious. She was supposed to be the smart one between the two of them. How couldn't she see that he wanted her for himself and that he was jealous of his brother?

"What?"

"Oh, ïe.(no) I'm so not getting in the middle of this."

.~°~. .~°~. .~°~.

It was Saturday night, and Jon was getting their house ready for the upcoming party. He had been taken in the soccer team (to no one's surprise) and decided to throw a little something with his team and the cheerleaders. Clary had been proposed to take the vacant post, but of course she refused. There was so much she could do. She was barricaded in her room, saying that as she wasn't neither a player or a cheer, she had no business down here.

This girl was too antisocial and stubborn for her own good. Jon didn't insist, knowing that he'd eventually make her come down. People started coming in, and when the Lightwood family arrived, he had to fight the grin forming on his mouth. He had seen Flynn Rider darkening each time Clary had showed up next to his brother. If Clary saw it too, she didn't mention it to him. She had said she had decided to do as if nothing ever happened.

After a few hours of drinking and laughing and playing around, Jon saw his sister fighting her way to the kitchen space. He joined her there, and looked at her sitting on the counter, crossing her legs and picking an apple.

"Coming to have fun?"

"Come on. I'm sure that beside you and I, no one really knows how to have fun here."

"Well, you could at least try."

"I'm here aren't I?"

He nodded and gave her a beer. She took it and had a sip, her apple half eaten.

"The Lightwoods are staying here tonight. Like that you'll sleep with your saiai."( beloved)

"Okay."

"All Lightwoods. That includes Flynn Rider."

"I got that thank you very much... Did you take the barrels yet?"

"Still up to that?"

"I have a record to beat."

He told her he would take them out of the garage and she got down of the counter, taking a banana with her. She battled to find her way to Alec, and she found him talking with his sister.

Jace saw her looking for Alec, kissing him once she found him and he clenched his fists. This was something he had been doing a lot lately, clenching his fists until his nails cut him open. Every time she had been around him to be exact. Which meant a lot since her brother was on his team and she was dating his brother.

They both came to dinner two other nights, everyone of his family so in love with them. Robert was apparently relieved that his son wasn't gay after all, and Maryse was just happy that Alec was happy. And Max... Let's not talk about how he became frantic when he heard they were from Japan (he was in his manga period).

Jace looked at her and wondered if she had dressed like that in the purpose to annoy him. She had blue denim jean shorts and a slack black shirt with a shot smiley showing a little bit of skin of her stomach.

Jon arrived with Jordan and two barrels of beers, and Jace knew what that meant: contest of who would drink the most.

Clary went to her brother, her banana still in hand, and asked him if he wanted to challenge her.

"Yeah, I don't think so. I want to live."

She smiled, tucking her tongue to him before eating her banana. Jace hadn't noticed the traitorous fruit in her hand until she started eating it. The banana in her mouth brought him immediately to what she had done to him in that fucking closet, and that made him realized that he hadn't had sex since that day.

Jon saw how Flynn Rider reacted to her banana eating and smirked. He had blushed and at least had the decency to look away, unlike so many boys who were gaping at her. He told her in Japanese that every guy wished to be a banana at that instant, and she smiled to him, shrugging.

Jordan decided to take her on the contest, even though many people told him not too, they all remembered how easily and quickly she had handled Jace at last party. But he still insisted. She smiled to him and lifted herself without no one's help on her hands, her head down, making her shirt fall a little bit to her breast.

A few boys whistled when they saw her stomach, and Jace fought against himself not to beat them up. What were Alec and Jon doing? Why didn't they do anything?

She started drinking chanting in her head the French anthem, then the American one, then the Japanese one. Each in their own language. At some point, she saw the guy who had challenged her asking to get back on his feet, but she still hadn't reach her record. When she finally beat herself, she stopped drinking, but couldn't find her balance to get back properly on her feet. She stayed on her position of upside down, standing on her hands and feeling stupid to be more balanced like that than otherwise.

Jace looked at her as she struggled between staying as she was and going down, and he saw from the corner of his eyes Jon signaling Alec to pick her up, which he eventually did, taking her bridal style. She wrapped her hands behind his neck and rested her head on his chest.

"You should take her to her room. It's the one that you would think would be the attic."

Okay, why not give them condoms and lubricant? Jace couldn't help but feel angry, even though he knew he shouldn't.
