Celestial Beauty
Written for @dailyclizzysource‘s Clizzy Week! I’m a bit late since “painting” was the theme for day one but better late than never, right?
This fic is for @heronstairslover. Without you Lily, this fic would have stayed as a WIP for a lot longer. Thank you for the encouragement! 💙
“Izzy?”
“Yeah?” Isabelle asks. She lifts her eyes from the book she had been reading on the couch as Clary emerges from their bedroom with her painting clothes on. In Isabelle’s honest opinion Clary looks always beautiful, but she looks even more gorgeous with traces of paint on her clothes and skin. She’s in her element then.
“Can I ask for a favor?” Clary looks hesitant as she leans against the doorframe and wrings her hands together.
“Of course,” Isabelle replies. She lays the book down on the small coffee table and gives her girlfriend her full attention. What could Clary be asking that’s making her so nervous?
“I told you about my project, right?”
“Yeah, you did,” Isabelle confirms. Clary is on her last year in the Brooklyn Academy of Art and her homework was often very different from Isabelle’s medical studies. “But how can I help? You need a model?”
“Kind of,” Clary says but she doesn’t elaborate.
“What is it?” Isabelle asks. She stands up and walks to stand in front of her girlfriend. She takes Clary’s hand in hers to stop the fidgeting. “You don’t need to be nervous. Unless we’re talking about nude modeling I’m pretty much on board with everything.”
She laughs at her own joke but as Clary doesn’t, it raises a question.
