but that's a weird thing to think about when you're cozying up to an attractive man in space and you don't know when you're going to see your childhood best friend again, so clary firmly pushes the line of thought away in lieu of staring straight ahead.
wow, he's close. real close. she can feel his breath ghost out over her mouth, which in turn only draws her own eyes down, staring at his mouth in turn like it's going to answer all her questions. (spoiler: it sure as fuck won't.)
there's a split second where clary wonders if she's going to chicken out. if, much like stabbing demons or doing Stupid Shit, she'll buckle under pressure for a hot second until someone yells at her to get it together. but no. she's not going to do that. she's a grown adult, she can do this? she can absolutely just kiss a dude for no reason other than the fact that some shady organization really wants her to get down with the motown while she's here.
yes. she can.
so she goes for it. she does the thing. enthusiasm is 100% of the battle in her mind, and so while this is admittedly her First Real Space Kiss, she's going to pretend she knows what the fuck she's doing and go in hard.
