A/N Mainly focused on Ethan and Danny's relationship but other characters from the show will be involved. Mainly Lydia, Aidan, Scott and Stiles with Allison, Isaac and Kira. Possible Styida paring but I'm not sure just yet. Hope you like the first part. P.S I tried to detail the love scenes as much as I could but I suck at them. Hopefully you still enjoy them, fingers crossed.

Part 1: Separate ways

...

Danny was roused from his sleep when he reached out and felt cold sheets. Sitting up he scanned his bedroom he spotted Ethan standing by his window. "Ethan, are you okay?"

Ethan sighed and looked towards the bed where Danny was now sitting up against the headboard. "It's getting pretty late and I should probably go."

Danny started biting his lip. "You mean go home or go?" When Ethan looked away from him he looked down as well. "Oh."

Ethan didn't miss the hurt in his voice. "Danny?"

"It's okay." Danny whispered. "Thanks for letting me know this time." He got up and headed towards the door.

Ethan crossed the room in a matter of seconds and stopped him. "Danny wait-"

"Why did you even come back Ethan?" Danny says turning to face him. "Is it fun for you to sit there and toy with my emotions?"

"No and I'm not messing with your emotions, I love you." Ethan says.

"Then stay with me." Danny whispers. "Forget about everything else and just stay with me."

Ethan could no longer look Danny in the eye so he lowered his head. "I can't."

Danny nodded and wiped his face. "Then don't bother coming back next time." He pulled free of Ethan hand and left his room. He sat in the bathroom for about fifteen minutes before getting up and going back to his room where Ethan was no longer there. Waling over to the closed window he locked it and sat on his bed. He couldn't believe after everything Ethan was leaving again.

...

When Aidan got home that night it was around midnight and the apartment was quiet and dark. He knew Ethan was home because he could hear his him breathing so he goes to his room. "Ethan?" He opened the door and turned on the light, Ethan was sitting on the floor in front of his bed. "Hey we're leaving first thing in the morning so just make sure you have everything you want." When Ethan didn't answer he walked over to him. "Hey, how long have you been sitting here?"

"Hour, maybe two." Replied Ethan.

Aidan frowned. "What's wrong?"

"We need to talk." Ethan says finally looking up at his brother. "I think I'm having second thoughts about this whole leaving Beacon Hills thing."

"You think?" Aidan walked over and leans against the wall. "What are you talking about?"

"Our whole life I've following you around like a lost dog." Ethan says. "Not talking back, always siding with you no matter what reckless plot you come up with."

"What's your point in all this?" Aidan says.

"I'm saying that I'm done." Ethan got to his feet and sat on the edge of his bed. "I've been sitting here tinking about what I want for a change and what I want is to stay here and be with Danny. I want to go out with him and not have to deal with your negative attitude or you threatening to rip his face off. I want to go to sleep knowing that I'll see him in the morning. Hell I even want to play lacrosse when the season starts again. I want the normal life that I've wanted since god knows when Aidan. No more running, no more fighting, no more death. I never thought with the life we lived that I would ever fall in love but I did and I don't want to run away from it, from him." He watched as his brother just stared down at the floor. "Aidan, I don't mean to hurt you but I'm in love with Danny."

"So that's it then." Aidan says finally looking back up at his brother. "You're choosing to be with him."

Ethan nodded. "I'm choosing to be with him."

Aidan looked down and shook his head. "There it is then." Pushing himself off the wall he left his brothers room without looking back.

For the first time in his life Ethan didn't go after him. He stayed in his spot on the bed just staring at the door. A small part of him hoped his brother would come back but the other huge part hoped that he wouldn't. He waited until he was sure that his brother was gone before he got up and made his way out of his room. The house was dark and quiet and it hit him, he was on his own now. Maybe with his brother no longer by his side Scott would let him join his pack and he could still be with Danny. Thinking about all that made him smile, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

...

Early the next morning Danny found himself still awake staring up at the ceiling. He headed slept at all that night since Ethan left. He looked over at the door when it opened. He expected to see his mother or father but he was surprised to see Lydia. "Lydia, what are you found here?" He asked sitting up.

Without saying anything she walked over to the bed and laid next to him. "Aidan stopped by last night and told me that he was leaving."

Danny signed and laid back down. "I know, Ethan did the same thing to me last night and I've been lying here awake ever since then." Ever since Jackson left he and Lydia had became much closer then they were before. "So what are we suppose to do now?" He asked looking over at her.

"Move on I guess." Lydia says. "Just like I did when Jackson up and left, Aidan will be no different."

"I'm sorry." Danny tells her.

Lydia smiled. "I'm sorry to, I know how much you cared for Ethan."

"I didn't just care about him Lydia, I freakin loved him and he left me." Danny nearly yelled. He then thought about his cheating ex boyfriend and frowned. "Why does every gut we love end up leaving us."

Lydia looked up at him. "What do you mean?"

"Jackson, Jonathan, Ethan and Aidan." Danny says. "Why can't find someone who'll stay with us in the long run?"

"Well find someone one." Lydia assured him.

"Maybe you will but I'm done putting myself out there only to get my heart broken." Danny says. "I'm just going to go back to focusing on me and school."

"Does that mean that you're not coming to the pep rally tonight?" Lydia asked sitting up and looking down at him.

"I was going to go with him but now that he's gone I'm not really in the mood to go anymore." Danny says sitting up and leaning against his headboard.

"Well you can go with me." Lydia says. "Come on I'm not asking you too go man hunting with me I just-"

"I'll go with you." Danny says smiling.

Lydia returned the smile. "Thanks."

...

Ethan was asleep when he heard the front door open and silently close. Getting up he walked to his brothers room and found him packing stuff in his gym bag. "Were you going to leave without saying anything?"

Aidan paused before continuing to pack his things. "I thought it'd be better if I didn't."

Ethan nodded and leans against the door frame. "So did you tell Lydia that you were leaving?"

"I told you everything last night when I left here." Aidan says. "She was upset but she said that she understood." Zipping up his bag he finally turned to face his brother. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for school or something?"

"I wanted to see you before you take off." Ethan says. "Are you sure that you can't just stay here?"

Aidan shook his head. "I can't stay in this place another day Ethan. I hate everything about Beacon Hills and besides this isn't the place for not. I can't do the normal life, school and homework. I don't have the patience for that like you do and maybe you're right."

"About what?" Ethan asked folding his arms.

"Us being better off on our own." After says throwing his gym bag over his shoulder he pulled out his wallet and took out a woad of cash. "Here's my half of the rent, maybe now that I'm gone you can get a one bedroom. I remember you always telling me that you wanted a place to call your own."

Ethan looked down at the money then back at his brother. "I don't want your money Aidan and besides I have enough money saved up to keep me here for a few more months. I'll be alright, keep your money." He pushed Aidan hand back towards him and signed. "So do you have to leave now or can you leave sometime later?"

Aidan smiled and removed his gym bag. "I guess I can stay for a while."

...

When Danny got to school he somehow found himself sitting outside the front of the school at one of the tables. He was watching the entrance of the parking lot watching as car after car pulled in, hoping that Ethan would be one of them. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there until he heard the first bell. He looked towards the school as students started heading inside but didn't move from his spot. He looked back to the entrance and patiently waited.

Lydia was about to go inside as well but when she saw Danny sitting at one of the tables she went over to him and sat down. "Danny what are you still doing out here?"

Danny shrugged not looking away from the entrance. "I just wanted to see if he would show."

Lydia sighed and went over to Danny. "He's not coming because he's gone, they both are." She held out her hand. "Come on, I'll walk you to class."

Danny watched the entrance for a few more seconds before looking up and Lydia. He reached out, took her hand and the two of them headed inside.

Lydia silently waited for Danny as he got out his things for first period. Once she was done they silently walked down the halls, still holding hands. They got looks from others as they did but paid them no attention.

"Thanks for walking me to class." Danny says.

Lydia moved close to Danny and kissed him on the cheek. "Smile Danny everything is going to be alright, you'll see."

Danny was still upset but found himself smiling. "I'll see you later." He waled into the classroom and walked to his normal seat in the back. The one thing he hated about first period was that he shared it with Jonathan. He was staring down at his phone when he heard someone walk up to him. He didn't bother looking up because he already knew who it was, Jonathan. "I don't feel lime talking Jonathan."

Jonathan smiled. "Come on I just wanted to ask you if you were coming to the rally tonight."

"Yeah I was going to go with Lydia." Danny said looking up.

"Lydia?" Jonathan sat in the seat in front of him. "I thought you'd be going with Ethan. Did he leave again, is that why you're going with Lydia?"

"It's none of your business Jonathan." Danny yells, causing others to look at him. "Just leave me alone alright."

"Alright, maybe I'll see you there tonight and maybe we can even have our own little party." Jonathan got up and headed back to his seat in the front.

Danny just glared at the back of his head before looking back down at his phone. He had hoped that Ethan would call or text but nothing ever came. He was thinking about texting him but his phone was suddenly taken away from him. He was about to say something but when he looked up he saw the teacher looking down at him and he stopped himself.

"You can get this back after school." Mr. Hough said going back ton the front.

Danny cursed in his head and pulled out his English book.

...

As the day went on Danny's mood got better but Jonathan still wouldn't leave him alone. No matter how many times he asked Danny told him no. After picking up his trey he made his way to an empty table. He saw Scott across the room sitting with Stiles, Allison, Kira and Isaac and thought about joining them but then forgot about it. He haven't really associated with them since Jackson left and he thought it was weird how he only knew them because of Jackson. Just as he was about to start eating he was joined by Lydia. "Why are you sitting with your little group of friends?"

Lydia looked back at them and shrugged. "I'd rather sit here with you." She said turning back to him. "So how has your day been going so far."

"It started out crappy." Danny says. "First Jonathan wouldn't go away then I started staring at my phone hoping Ethan would call me but he never did. Then Mr. Hough saw me and took my phone away but even then I couldn't stop thinking about Ethan. What about you?"

"Word got around that the big bad Aidan was gone and people have been coming up to me non stop." Lydia says.

Danny shook his head. "I wish that I could be like you. You don't let it show when you're upset while I've been pouting around like a five year old."

"Danny everybody deals with stuff like this in their own different way." Lydia says. "Yeah I'm upset about not only Aidan but about Jackson as well but I just remind myself that I'm just as awesome on my own. You might not see it on your own Danny but you are too."

Danny watched her as she started eating her food. He wanted to believe that she was right about him but he didn't. He might be popular and have lots of friends but the only one he considered a real friend was Jackson, they had been friends since they were elementary kids. He then looked back at the table where Scott and the others were seated. He had grown to call Scott and Stiles friends but not the others. Just then McCall looked over and him and smiled, Danny smiled back before going back to his food.

...

When the bell for final period finally went off Danny made his was back to his first period class to get his phone. It was sitting on the front desk but the room was empty so he grabbed it and left. As soon as he was out of the classroom he checked to see if he had any missed calls or texts from Ethan but there was nothing. Shoving his phone in his pocket he headed out of the school and to his car. He wasted no time in getting far away as he could from the school yard. The house was quiet when he got there but he knew someone was Hoke because a car was in the driveway. Going to his room he sat on his bed and pulled his phone back out. He strolled through his contacts until he found Ethan's name. His finger hovered over the call button but just as he was about to press it his door opened. "Hey mom." He pressed end and tossed his phone behind him.

"Hey, you okay?" Raven asked leaning against the door. "When you left this morning you looked upset."

"Yeah." Danny says. "I'm just having a hard time accepting something but I'll be alright."

"Are you going to the pep really tonight?" Raven asked.

"Coach will kill me if I don't show up." Danny says. "The whole team is going to be there and I don't want to be the only no show."

"Alright if you need anything I'll be downstairs." Raven says before leaving the room.

Danny smiled but when the door closed it slowly faded. Maybe Lydia was right, maybe all he needed to do was move on. But he really didn't know if that was something he could do. Deciding to drop it all he grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom. Since the pep really didn't start until eight he hung out with his mom. He didn't leave until it was five minutes past eight.

...

After watching his brother as he left the parking lot to their building Ethan made his way back up to his apartment. He went right to his room and grabbed a change of clothes before going to the bathroom, he couldn't wait to see Danny. Five minutes later he emerged from the bathroom, got dressed and left once again. He remembered Danny telling him about the pep really that was going to be at the school a few days ago so that's the first place he went.

...

As soon as Danny got to the gym he saw Jonathan making his way over to him but before he got too close Lydia pulled him away. "Thanks for that."

"No problem." Lydia grabbed Danny's hand and led him through the crowd of people and over to where Scott and Stiles were sitting on the bleachers. "Hey guys."

"Hey?" Scott then looks over at Danny. "Hey Danny?"

"Scott, Stiles." Danny sat next to him and looked around at the fellow students started to fill the bleachers and as the rally started and the others cheered and screamed he felt sick. "I'll be back, I need some air." He tells Lydia before getting up and leaving the gym. He uses the back door and headed to the lacrosse field, somewhere he could be by himself. He walked to the middle of the field and laid down, his hands resting behind his head. Closing his eyes he thought about what Ethan was doing at this very moment. About fifteen minutes passed and he was slowly drifting off to sleep when he heard footsteps coming towards him. Thinking it was Jonathan he kept his eyes closed. "Go away."

"Why are you out here by yourself?" The voice said.

Danny's eyes flew open and looked to his left, Ethan was standing over him. "Ethan, I thought you'd be miles away from this place by now."

"Yeah me too." Ethan sat crisscross on the dry grass across from Danny and smiled towards the human. "So you didn't answer me, why are you out here alone?"

"Because I wanted to be alone." Danny sat up and pulled his knees to his chest, resting his head on them. "Where's your brother?"

Ethan looked up at the dark sky and sighed. "He left a while ago."

"Are you going to meet with him later or something?" Danny asked refusing to look his way.

"No." Ethan looked back to Danny and smiled. "I told him to go without me, so he did."

Hearing that made Danny finally look him in the eyes. "Are you serious, why would you tell him something like that?"

"Because I didn't want to go with him." Ethan says. "I love my brother but I've been following him my whole life and I'm tired of it. I'm doing something for myself now and that involves you. I love you and I don't want to leave you." Danny looked away from him and he could tell that he was upset. "Why do you look so upset Danny, I thought you'd be happy that I decided to stay."

"I am but I never wanted this." Danny admitted. "I didn't want you and your brother to split up."

"I did." Ethan says. "I've been wanting to go off on my own even before I came here but I never found a good enough reason too. It wasn't until I meet you that I realized how much I wanted to be normal."

"What are you talking about Ethan?" Danny says.

Ethan got up and moved closer to Danny and placed his hands on his knees. "I love you and there's nowhere else that I'd rather be." He leans forward and presses his lips to Danny's. It was soft and only lasted a few seconds but it still felt good. He felt Danny open his legs and pull him closer, wrapping his arms around his waist. He smiled and wrapped his arms around Danny. After what felt like a lifetime he pulled away from Danny and moved to sit next to him. "What are you thinking about?"

Danny thought for a minute then turned to face him. "Are you sure that this is what you want?"

'I know this is what I want." Ethan says. "I want to be here with you."

Danny sighed and looked down. "I don't know what to say."

"You could say that you love me too." Ethan says, a smile slowly spreading across his face.

"Fine I love you too." Danny whispered, a smile starting to form on his face as well. "So what are you going to do now that you're own your own?"

"I have enough money to last a few months at my place now but I'm going to start looking for a cheep one bedroom apartment." Ethan says. "Now that I'm going to be back in school for good I'm going to need some kind of math tutor because I suck at it. You know Aidan took all my math classes for me while I took his English."

"They seriously couldn't tell you two apart." Danny says.

"I think they just saw a face and assumed I was him and he was me." Ethan says. 'I'm defiantly going to miss that about him." He looked towards the school then back at Danny. "Come on." He said getting to his feet and holding out his hand. "Let's go inside.

Danny took his hand and pulled himself up. "Can we do something else, I only came here because Lydia asked me too and coach would be down my throat if I didn't show."

"Well it's still early so we can go somewhere else if you want." Ethan says.

Danny smiled. "Anything is better then being here."

...

Ethan stumbled into his apartment, his lips never breaking apart from Danny's. By the time he got to his bedroom Danny was already working on his jeans. He pushed Danny onto the bed and grabbed both of his hands.

Confused Danny looked up at him. 'What's wrong?"

"We have all the time in the world." Ethan says pushing him flat on his back. "There's no need to hurry." He slowly undid Danny's jeans and pulled them off, along with his boxers. He smiled when he saw how hard Danny was. After disposing of his own clothes he climbed back on top of Danny and was immediately pulled into a kiss., only breaking apart to retrieve a condom from his. He couldn't believe after all they've been through Danny continued to made him feel like it was his first time. Sitting up he slipped on the condom, their eyes never breaking. Moving between Danny's legs he moaned when Danny pulled him into another kiss. As he entered the human he felt Danny bit down on his bottom lip that was still trapped between his lips. Once Danny let go of his lip and Ethan was fully inside of him they continued kissing. Ethan remained motionless for a few seconds before slowly pulling out then back in. Danny's nail dug into his back and he swallowed the growl that threatened to escaped his mouth so he went back to Danny's lips to keep quiet.

Danny never knew slowing down could feel so good. Hell he even found himself telling Ethan to go slower, wanting it to last forever. His left hand reached up and gripped Ethan's short hair while the other gripped the bedsheets. "It feels so good, slow." He panted out.

Still fearing that his inner beast would come out Ethan kept his mouth busy by kissing and nibbling on every inch of Danny. His neck, his jawline and ears before finding his way back to his mouth.

Danny felt himself getting close but he didn't want Ethan to stop so he tried to ride it out even longer but Ethan's mouth and member were too much for him and he came between their sweaty chests. He then watched as Ethan pulled out of him, pulled the latex rubber off and started stroking himself, which only lasted a few seconds before he came as well. They sat there panting and staring at each other before a smile appeared on both their faces simultaneously.

Ethan crawled back on top of Danny, his hands on either side of his head before he captures his lips. Danny's hands slowly ran up and down his back before his arms grew wobbly and he moved to lay next to Danny. He reached down and grabbed Danny's hand, intertwining their fingers. "I can get use to this."

"To what?" Asked Danny. "To us having sex?"

Ethan laid down and rested his head against Danny's chest. "Just lying here with you. He closed his eyes and breathed in the smell of Danny, it was intoxicating to him. "I love you." He whispered, wrapping his arm tighter around Danny's waist.

Danny held him tighter, fearing that he would lose him again. "I love you too."
