Hey all! This is just a one-shot from Spot's POV . . . I tried writing Jack's, but I re-read my attempt, and my gut reaction was, "This sucks!" So, instead, I wrote this. I'm happy with it. ^___^ Enjoy!

I've always had a tendency to make things harder for myself than absolutely necessary. If someone found a shortcut, I'd take the long way. If I could get some easy money, I'd earn it the hard way.

If I met someone untouchable, I'd fall in love with him.

I remember the first time I saw him. He was awkward and gangly, hands and feet too big for the skinny limbs they were attached to. His hair was always falling in his face and he would be constantly pushing it from his gorgeous eyes.

But even back then, in his "ugly duckling" days, he had . . . something. An undefinable quality that made you want to listen to him, want to believe him. It was some mix of charisma, charm, sincerity, and sheer bloody-mindedness. If he said "follow" and you didn't immediately do it, then he'd grab you by the wrist and drag you along behind him.

It's corny, it's cliched, it's stupid, but it's true.

I fell for him the minute I saw him.

I couldn't stop thinking about him. I wondered how his lips tasted. I wanted to touch his skin, run my hands through his hair, kiss him all over, and mark him as mine.

Then that Jacobs bitch waltzed in and stole him.

I think Davey loved him too. The way his face would light up was a dead giveaway every time. It must be hell for him to see them together every day. It's hell for me just to think about it.

Yet, through it all, I still love him.

I've taken other partners, sure. A pretty girl or a prettier boy warms my bed nightly, but every time I go to kiss them, all I can see is aquamarine eyes and a head of shaggy dark blonde hair.

Obsession, love, perfection, thy name is Jack Kelly.

And sheer stupidity . . .

Thy name is Spot Conlon.
