A Shade of Love (Jace x Reader)
A/N: It’s been a while but please enjoy. Anyone is welcome to send in requests.
It had only been a few days since Clary was brought to the institute for the first time. They still taught her the ins and outs of being a shadow hunter. It was a learning curve for them all, but they were in a phase they wished they could forget.
“You can’t be jumping into action like that anymore,” Alec demanded as they returned from their latest mission. Clary charged in during the group's fight with demons, thinking they were outnumbered, but if she had learned anything in these past few days, she would have known they would be fine.
“You’re being overdramatic” Clary rolled her eyes, as she looked at Jace for help. He brought her into this; he would know where she came from. But all she got was silence from him.
“Alec has a point, Clary,” Izzy said, sensing the tension filling the room. “Next time, stand back as we ordered. We know you want to help, but this is for your safety.”
“Really? Jace, what do you have to say about this?” Clary was fuming; what was the point of even going on the mission if she couldn’t help? It was for her, after all. The three stood before her as if she had done something wrong when it was the opposite.
“You shouldn’t have jumped in,” Jace sighed; he knew this wouldn’t end well. “You’re not trained enough for missions like these.”
“So why did you bring me then?” Clary questioned, not letting her guard down. She wouldn't be treated like a little child. All Jace wanted this conversation to be over, even though he got tired after a long battle.
“Just because your hair is red doesn’t mean you have to act like a firecracker,” Jace huffed, he was going to end this now.
“That’s no-” Clary started to say but stopped. She realized what Jace had said to her.
“My hair?” How did he know the colour of her hair? Could Jace see the colour? Why weren’t Izzy and Alec freaking out about this as well?
“You can see the colour?” Clary asked, and for a moment, Jace regretted his words as he knew he wouldn’t be leaving this conversation anytime soon.
“Yes.” That was impossible for Clary to imagine; finding the one you were truly meant to be with was so rare. Everyone she knew could only see in black and white, including her.
“Only Jace can before you start asking more questions,” Izzy said, knowing the girl would want to know more. “I’m still team black and white.”
Clary didn’t know what to say; she was speechless. For the last few days, she had hoped that something could become of her and Jace’s relationship, but that wouldn’t be the case.
“Most mundanes don’t ever get to see colour in their lifetime, but we, as shadowhunters do. We mostly worry about when instead. We wonder when our time will come to find the one as it strengthens us.” Izzy let out as she placed her seraph blade on the table beside them. This was getting too much to handle for Clary’s mind.
“How about you boys go on, and I handle this? Izzy said as she went to guide Clary to a chair. Both boys nodded at the girls and left the room, knowing that Izzy was the best for this.
Jace shut the door behind him as he entered his room; he only wanted to shower and go to bed. He reached up to take off his shirt in a quick motion and was startled when someone spoke.
“If you wanted to get naked, all you had to do was ask,” You said with a laugh as you looked at your half-naked boyfriend standing in front of you.
“When did you get back?” Jac questioned as he walked over to you. He picked you up in his arms, and you wrapped your legs around his waist. “I thought you still had another few weeks left.”
“Hello to you too. I thought I would get a show here, but I was asked a million questions.” Jace rolled his eyes at you but couldn’t help but let a smile appear across his face. “I finished early in Idris; I figured I would come home and see my best friend.” Jace blushed, but you poked his cheek with your fingers. “Don’t flatter yourself, babe; I’m talking about Izzy.”
“Are you sure about that?” Jace said as he walked over to your guy’s bed and laid flat on your back. “Maybe I can change your mind?” You laughed as he leaned closer to you, now face to face.
“How can I not miss half of my soul?” You gently touched his cheek, smoothing it with your thumb. It’s been a while since you had such an intimate moment with each other. The trip was the longest you had been away from Jace, and you were just happy to be back.
“I miss you so much.” Jace nuzzled his head into your neck. The shower was gone from his mind now that you were before him. You ran your fingers through his dirty blonde locks, feeling the tension released from his body. Ever since you met, it was hard to be without the other for an extended period.
“I heard that you were being a troublemaker while I was gone,” You said, referring to a girl you had heard rumours about since you arrived back. Jace always found his way into something when you weren’t around.
“You were gone for too long, so I figured I would go find a new shadow hunter to keep the place interesting,” Jace smirked as he looked up your way, and you did smile. This is where you wanted to be forever, with the one you loved, looking into his eyes. You couldn’t remember what life was like before you looked into his blue eyes for the first time, that hint of a brown drawing you in, but you knew you could never go without. Black and white no longer cut it, but blue and brown did.
