You and Jace had been.. something?

You two had spent your days together, taking long walks, holding hands; picnics, private dinners.

Romance without intimacy. You two had always felt that you were too much to be nothing but too little to be something.. if that made sense?

You are both Royalty and understood the importance of purity, for in this world it can be tested; measured.

A prick of your finger, a droplet of blood falling upon a chalice of holy water would reveal your purity, and this was such a tradition that took place in front of your entire kingdom.. so maintaining image was put at utmost priority.

Naturally. as things progressed between you two, you both wished to establish yourselves as a real relationship. However both of were shut down by each set of parents.

Which brings you to today.. where you are extremely drunk at a ballroom party and being lightly shoved back n’ forth between your two friends for their own amusement.

Jace watches from his seat upon a futon, his face full of contempt and a drink held tightly between his fingers.
