Jace is really awkward at first and doesn’t know how to act or where to place his hands or where to look

Meliorn thinks it’s adorable but he also doesn’t want Jace to be uncomfortable so he asks how he would kiss a girl

‘Well, first I’d cup her cheeks.’

‘Okay, do that.’

‘Oh wow. Stubble.’

‘See, I told you it’s different. Then what would you do?’ 

And Jace goes through all his Kissing steps until they’re actually kissing, a bit awkward with bumping noses and scraping teeth, but Meliorn is patient and more experienced so he knows how to tilt his head to make it more comfortable for the both of them

and after some practice Jace gets the hang of it and is even bold enough to pry open Meliorn’s lips and slip in his tongue

Meliorn was not expecting that and his knees literally buckle but thankfully he’s clinging onto Jace’ shirt and Jace is cupping the back of his neck

anyway they eventually have to part for air and Meliorn is kinda lost for words but Jace just grins and says kissing boys is nicer than kissing girls, or maybe Meliorn is just a really good kisser

and okay so they finally meet up with Jace’ friends and they’re holding hands and honestly they look so good together people literally turn their heads to look at them

Clary’s grin might be the biggest of them all when Jace introduces Meliorn bc she’s the best supportive ex girlfriend okay

and Meliorn seems to immediately fit into their squad, talking to Magnus about books and to Simon about games and he even manages to engage Raphael in a conversation and honestly?? Jace just looks at him in awe because fuck. He’s so beautiful and sweet and his laugh sounds like bells ringing in the wind and he just fits so well, like it was meant to be

Alec notices Jace’ lovestruck expression and comments on it. Jace just huffs and blushes

the squad invites Meliorn to hang out all the time and their PDA feels more natural every passing day - like they’ll just be walking the streets and Jace will casually lace their fingers together or as they’re waiting to enter a club he’ll stand really close to him as they talk and occassionally peck Meliorn on the lips in between conversations

they both just kinda??? Forget that they’re fake dating??

Jace is over at Meliorn’s apartment basically all the time when he’s not working and at first they just hang out like friends but when the squad comes to hang out there, they have to pretend again and kiss and maybe sit in each other’s laps

and then after a while?? They start doing these kind of things when nobdy is around?? Like Jace will make Meliorn some green tea and bring it to him and Meliorn will kiss him to say thank you and it all feels so natural??

and Jace sleeps over all the time too - they’re practically living together by now

and since Meliorn doesn’t have a guest room, they share his bed (the first time they share his bed was after meliorn had thrown a house party and it would look a bit weird for jace to go home when he was expected to just crash at Meliorn’s, and they’d kinda been doing it ever since)

and then one night, Brokeback Mountain style, Meliorn lies awake, yet again forgetting that they’re not actually dating, and he’s thinking about Jace and how close he is and how he wants to touch him and kiss him and feel him, so he reaches behind him and takes Jace’ hand to press it between his legs

Jace is immediately wide awake and okay he’s never touched someone else’s penis before, has never even seen a penis besides his own and also Alec’s when they used to take baths together as little kids

but feeling Meliorn’s erection press into his hand turns him on so much and he just groans and bites down into Meliorn’s neck, finally allowing himself to do what he’d been fantasizing about so long

honestly, their first time is quite embarrassing. They’re both so turned on and they both want this so much neither of them lasts very long

but it isn’t awkward at all afterwards. Meliorn just starts laughing in the crook of Jace’ neck and says they should really practice on that and Jace agrees with a chuckle
