Two fics in one day :O This one's really heavy on the Ethan angst.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

He wasn't supposed to fall for Danny. He wasn't supposed to go against his pack. He wasn't supposed to go against his brother. Yet here he is, running. Running to his car to save Danny- his life, his love, his everything. When did things even get this complicated? Everything was so torn, so broken, he couldn't even breathe. Focusing enough to put the key into the ignition was difficult- even with his alpha senses. God, how nice it would be to just run. Driving would've been a pain in any other situation, but not this one. Everything was so fucked up that there was no way something as trivial as driving could cause him pain.

It's only a matter of time.

He's running again. He opens the door with the spare key hidden in the pot of the plant outside Danny's door, and he runs inside. He can feel Danny's presence. He can smell the Armani and he can practically feel his arms wrapped around him and he can see those dimples smiling at him and oh God he just needs to be with him. He's already up the stairs, knocking on Danny's door when it finally opens.

"Ethan?"

He said his name. Danny said his name and that's all he needs before he's in his arms and he can finally stop running. Danny says nothing, just holds him and kisses his forehead while Ethan just tries to breathe. It's all too much, everything that's happened and everything that's going to happen and Danny's arms are the only place he can get away from it all and he knows that this could be the last time that he's in Danny's arms and please Danny don't let go-

"Ethan? Hey, what's wrong? I've never seen my Adonis cry and I don't like it."

Ethan lets out a whimper-like chuckle because of course Danny will make him smile when he should be crying.

"Danny I-I love you. I love you so much and I just want you to know that."

Danny's face contorts in worry. "I know you do, E. I love you too. What's this about?"

Ethan steps out of Danny's arms and focuses on breathing again. "I-No, you shouldn't. You shouldn't love me because I'm a liar and a monster and you need to let me go because you deserve better. You deserve so much better and I want you to be with someone who deserves you."

"Ethan what are you talking about-"

And Ethan shifts.

Right there in Danny's bedroom, he shifts. With his claws out, fangs extended, and blood red eyes Ethan tells Danny everything. He tells him about werewolves. He tells him about the alpha pack, and how he was supposed to use him. He tells him about how he fell in love with Danny and joined Derek's pack, and about how Aiden hasn't spoken to him in months. He tells him about Deucalion somehow turning Derek into a beta on the full moon, and giving Derek's power to Peter. He cries about how Peter is a traitor, just like him. And after he tells Danny everything he just cries, and Danny for some reason is holding him in his arms again when he should be punching him and shunning him and Ethan is just so confused.

"Shh, E. It's okay. It's okay."

When Danny looks up to see Danny's face, nothing's changed. There's still love, still undying passion present in those beautiful brown orbs and Ethan just doesn't know why.

"What do you mean it's okay? It's not okay. I-I used you! I'm a terrible person and you shouldn't love me you deserve so much better-" but Ethan doesn't get to finish. Danny's lips are on his, and when he pulls away, his eyes are still soft and caring. Danny sighs.

"E, I've known about this werewolf shit for a while now. I wasn't exactly sure about everything, but I had theories."

Ethan blinks.

"I mean, I didn't know about the alpha stuff or anything, but I figured it had something to do with why McCall was so weird around you. And I don't care about the 'you using me" part. You didn't know me then. You know me now. That's all that matters."

"But-"

"And I don't want to hear any of that 'I deserve better crap,' okay? I don't ever want to hear you talk bad about yourself again. I love you and you're all that I want and you're all that I'm ever going to want. Okay?"

Ethan smiles. He leans up to kiss Danny, and Danny kisses back, and for a moment he doesn't feel broken anymore. But then he pulls away and sighs.

"Danny, I have to go. Things are happening tonight. Bad things."

Danny says nothing at first.

"Well whatever it is, I'm coming with you."

And there's another fic :D

I have a lot of ideas on where this story will go, so if you guys like it I'll make more chapters.

Once again, this was un-beta'd, and reviews are cherished(:
