Friday
"Why won't your dad let you see who you want?" Derek asked. "They were sitting in the library during free period.
"I don't know." Stiles said. "It's been the two of us since I was young. Even then he wouldn't let me have any friends. I've never had a play date or a sleepover because my dad wouldn't let me."
"But you still see Danny." Derek said. "And you said your dad doesn't want you to see him."
"Yeah but he never comes over." Stiles said. "My dad won't let me do anything I want and I don't know why."
"Maybe you should talk to him about it." Derek said. "Ask him why he's making you live this sheltered life and who knows he might surprise you."
"But what do I tell him about you?" Stiles said. "I really like you Derek but I know that my dad will never let me see you."
"Don't tell him about me." Derek said. "Just talk to him about letting you live your own life and when the time is right you can talk to him about me."
Stiles nodded "Okay."
"Hey I meant to ask you something." Derek said. "Why won't Jackson's people let him see who he wants?"
Stiles shrugged. "I never asked him that but I always wondered."
Derek nodded. ""So does that mean you can go out with me this weekend?"
Stiles smiled. "Yes that mean I will go out with you but we have to meet somewhere."
"What do you mean?" Derek asked.
"My dad can't see you so Jackson is going to pick me up." Stiles said. "I'll get to go out with you while Jackson goes out with Danny. When the night is over Jackson will bring me back home."
"Sounds good." Derek said then looked at his watch. "Come on I'll walk you back to class." They gathered their stuff and left the library.
…
"I have to wear something hot." Danny said. "I still can't believe that Jackson Whitmore wants to go out with me. He's like the hottest guy in school."
Stiles looked over at him. "What about Derek?"
"Derek is cute." Danny said. "But Jackson is sexy as hell."
Stiles just smiled and shook his head. "You're crazy if you think that."
"Boys." Their teacher said looking back at them. "Would you like to share your conversation with the rest of the class?" They shook their heads. "Good then get back to work."

Saturday afternoon
Stiles was sitting by the window in the living room waiting for Jackson. He looked back when he heard his dad walking up behind him. "Hey dad."
Mr. Stilinski smiled. "Why do you look so nervous?"
"I'm not." Stiles said.
"Well don't be." Mr. Stilinski said. "Jackson is a good kid and I know you're going to have fun."
Stiles smiled and started biting his bottom lip. "Yeah I know." He looked down at his feet.
That's when Mr. Stilinski knew that Stiles wasn't telling him something. "What are you not telling me?"
Stiles noticed what he was doing and stopped. "Nothing."
"Stiles I can tell that you're lying to me about something." Mr. Stilinski said.
"I'm not dad." Stiles said. He then heard a horn. "That's Jackson I have to go." He said getting up. ""I'll see back before curfew. " He ran outside and got into Jackson's car. "Thank god you showed up because I was just about to tell my dad everything." He looked over at Jackson. "Jackson?"
"I heard you." Jackson said. "My dad just gave me a long speech before I left." He drove off.
"I'm sorry you're in the same boat with me." Stiles said. "Why does he do it, your dad I mean?"
Jackson sighed. "Let's just say the last time I was in a relationship it ended with me in the hospital. Ever since then my dad has been scared of me dating. He was afraid that the same thing would happen and hat's why I keep my personal like from him. thats the reason why i am the way i am now because I'm afraid that it will happen again."
"He's letting us go out." Stiles said.
"Because he trusts your dad." Jackson said. "There is only a few people my dad trusts but your dad is like a brother to him. So in a way my dad also trusts you."
Stiles decided to change the subject. "So are you excited about your date with Danny?"
"I am actually." Jackson said. "Which is something I don't usually care about? Going out with him actually makes me nervous."
Stiles smiled. "Well I'm kind of nervous too so I know how you feel." He was also excited because this was the first date he has ever been on.
…
11:40 that night
Jackson and Stiles were sitting in the car in Stiles driveway. They had been sitting there for about ten minutes not saying anything. "So how long do you think we can keep up this whole fake dating thing?"
"I don't know." Jackson said. "I guess until you're ready to talk about this with your dad. I know how dads can be so if you need anything all you have to do is call me, okay."
"Thanks." Stiles said. "And I'm glad that you had a good time with Danny, he really likes you."
"I like him too." Jackson said. "I should get home."
"Bye." Stiles said getting out of the car. He was glad that his dad wasn't home so he just went to his room.
…
Monday morning
Jackson was going through his locker when it was suddenly slammed shut. He looked over to see very angry Stiles. "Dude what the hell?"
"You had sex with Danny?" Stiles said. "Is that why you wanted to go out with him, to sleep with him."
"No." Jackson said. "He was the one who called me after I dropped you off. He said that his parents weren't home and he wanted to hang out." He sighed and looked over at Stiles. "Look he's the first guy that I didn't want to just sleep with. I went out with him and I had a good time. He's different than the other guys and I really want to see where this goes. I can see why this would be hard for you to believe considering my reputation at this school but it's true."
"Okay fine maybe you do really like him." Stiles said. "But don't hurt him."
"Don't worry I won't." Jackson said. "So how was your weekend?"
"We talked all weekend." Stiles said. "And all night."
"Awe you're so cute." Jackson said smiling.
"Shut up." Stiles said. "I'll see you later." He said walking off.
A few minutes later Jackson was met by Isaac who asked him out. He declined and turned to leave but stopped when he saw Danny close by. A smile spread across his face as he made his way over to him. "Hey Danny."
"What was that all about?" Danny asked.
"Isaac was just asking me out but I told him that I already had plans." Jackson said. "And I was hoping that those plans would be with you."
Danny smiled. "Me too."
