Clary was still wrapping her head around what was happening. She was moving out of her house with her mom and moving in with her boyfriend. It wasn’t like they were moving into a pokey little flat on their own and might end up struggling, she was moving into the gigantic Institute with her boyfriend and parabatai. It would make training so much easier, she could probably find an entire room for her art supplies and of course she could be with Jace more often than not.
She came in from college and headed straight up to the training room. Spotting Will already in the room, she smiled and dropped her bags near the door and tied her hair up. “Hey, sorry I’m late, my bus from college was late,” she told him. “How are you doing?”
Will, of course, had heard about the plans for Clary to move into the Institute and was happy for her. He’d often wondered about asking if he, Jem and Tessa could do the same but he liked the privacy they had with their own place. He didn’t want to give that up. And it wasn’t like they were that far from the Institute for training and get togethers.
“Hey, no worries. I’ve been entertaining myself” he grinned, “I’m good. How about you? Got everything packed yet?” he teased.
“Do I want to ask how you’ve been entertaining yourself?” Clary teased as she walked over to him. She slid her hands into her pockets as she came to stand next to him. “I’m ok thanks, better than ok really. Did you hear the news?” she grinned.
Will tutted at her, “Nothing your naughty little mind is coming up with I’m sure” he teased her with a grin. “Well I did ask you if you’ve packed yet so unless there’s more news it’s safe to say that I’ve heard” he chuckled.
“I know, I know, I’m just not sure who’s heard and who hasn’t, y’know?” Clary smiled. “Nothing’s packed yet, Jace is coming to help on thursday after I finish at college,” she told him, unable to keep the grin from her face as she did. She still couldn’t quite believe that she was moving in with her boyfriend. “Have you ever thought about it? Moving into the Institute? With Jem and Tessa of course.”
Nodding Will smiled, “Jace is helping you pack?” he snorted a little at that, he could see it now. Jace lounging on the bed and watching as Clary put her things into cases and boxes. “Yeah, but I like the privacy we have. No unexpected interruptions during intimate moments if you get my drift” he winked, “Well apart from Church, I swear he is the cat version of Houdini”
“I know,” Clary chuckled, knowing what he was thinking. “Yeah, I'm hoping I can get him to at least make coffee,” she joked, although at least sincerely. “Ah, I take it that Church has made some...inconvenient visits then?” she grinned.
“He might buy it on his way to yours, that’s probably the best you can hope for” Will advised, before groaning, “A couple. I try to lock the door but he can pick the lock like a boss”
“Well it’s better than nothing. So long as he gets my order right, otherwise we may have to rethink this living together thing,” Clary grinned, moving over to one of the weapons racks and picking up a pair of sai. “Tough break, I can imagine that being very frustrating. Especially for a strapping young man like you,” she winked at him over her shoulder as she twirled the sai idly. “How are things with Tessa and Jem? I don’t get to speak to them that much,” she said.
Will laughed then, “Who knew the fate of a relationship could hang in the balance of a correct coffee order?” he teased. “You joke but you just wait, it can be incredibly frustrating” he warned moving to pick up a pair of short swords, “Things are good. Jem seems strong and his studies are good and Tessa is doing wonderfully well with the store. They both seem very happy”
“Now now, don’t mock how important getting someone’s hot drink is in a relationship,” Clary grinned, pointing one of the sai at him as she spoke. “Of course, with Jem and Tessa you may never know the wrath of not getting their morning drinks right, they’re far too polite to tell you if you did,” she considered with a smile. “Good, I’ll have to drop into the shop and catch up. What about the great WIll Herondale then? How are things with college?”
“Are you suggesting I might actually get something wrong? Because you know if I did it would be the end of the world” Will told her with his usual cocky grin, “Tessa would love to see you I’m sure” he smiled, “Great as always, top of the class which is really to be expected. I’m sure I did great in my final exams too. Results will tell me that in a few weeks”
Clary grinned and rolled her eyes at Will’s ever present self confidence. “Of course, how could I forget, you’d never get their orders wrong,” she grinned at him. “What are you going to do with yourself over the summer then?” she asked.
“Exactly” Will said in approval happy that Clary was learning. “Help Tessa, train, maybe do some tutoring. I’ll keep myself busy. How about you?” he asked, knowing that she would probably work on her art a bit.
“Well I am looking forward to spending a lot of time getting acquainted with my new studio space,” Clary told him happily, twirling the sai in her hands again. “The guys said I could basically pick any of the empty rooms and basically invade it with all my art supplies. I was thinking of seeing if I could get one of the high rooms with a view out over the city. It might be quite inspirational. I was thinking of asking my friend Justin over to help me pick one out, what do you think?” she asked.
“I thought you might say that” Will smiled, “I'm glad to hear you'll have your own space. Everybody needs that. I think it sounds like a good idea. I take it this Justin an artist too?” he asked.
“Yeah, he’s had exhibitions and stuff. Hopefully it means big things for him. I hope so, he deserves to be happy and successful,” Clary smiled wistfully. “Anyway,” she shook her head and tossed one of the sai for him to catch. “Are we going to train or what?” she asked.
“So do you” Will said before catching the weapon easily, “We are indeed. Come on short stuff, show me what you’ve got” he grinned before they started their training session.
