I do not own Twilight or the characters, Stephenie Meyer does!

~Bella's POV~

"Okay, Bella. Sure," Seth replied. He seemed hesitant, unsure but trusting and for that Bella was not grateful. It would making doing what she had to do so much harder than it had to be. She repressed a sigh at what Edward would say about this or Alice who loved Seth.

She really didn't want to hurt Seth but she knew that Seth was distracting Edward from her, making him think about life without her. He denied that he was attracted to Seth and for a time Bella believed him but lately he'd been so persistent about seeing Seth and talking to Seth himself. Bella was extremely insecure already, so she didn't need Edward and....Seth making it worse; It was hard for her to think the two names together.

She sighed as she realised the task ahead of her was going to be harder than she had originally planned. She squared her shoulders and raised her chin, preparing herself.

"Seth, I know that you have no control over who you Imprint with and I know that this isn't your fault," she said, calmly at first but growing more and more aggressive, "But if you even dream of taking Edward away from me, I will hurt you in ways you can't imagine. Do you understand me Seth?,".

A look of shock and hurt flashed across Seth's tanned face, and he looked at Bella as though she was being malicious. She wasn't, she was just asserting what was hers. At least that's how she justified it to herself. Seth stayed mute, looking like a lost puppy. Which isn't actually a bad simile, thinking on it, Bella mused to herself.

"Well?," She continued, wanting to make sure he wasn't going to make a sudden play for Edward. She needed to put her mind at rest. "Are you or are you not going to try and steal Edward?,". She thought Seth was going to say no, he wasn't. She thought Seth was going to be Seth and put others before himself. She thought wrong.

"I'm sorry Bella, but I can't guarantee anything anymore. You don't understand...He's like oxygen to me. I..." Seth trailed off, his eyes glistening with moisture. Bella felt her heart stop for a second, skipping a beat.

She looked at him and summoned all her anger and hurt at his words into a glare, throwing it at him. She began to leave the room, stopping at the doorway and looking back at him.

"Fine, have it your way Seth. But I've lost Edward before, and I won't do it again," She said ominously before leaving the room. She stormed towards Edwards bedroom, thinking of ways to hurt Seth the most, knowing she would never be able to go through with them. It just wasn't part of who she was. As she neared Edward's bedroom, she caught the sound of Edward and Alice talking quietly and quickly.

"How long do you think before this event supposedly happens Alice?," she heard Edward say, sounding calm but Bella knew him well enough to hear the frustration in his voice.

Alice sighed and said "Edward, you know very well that it isn't a crock. My visions may be a little subjective, but they're usually accurate. And as for how long? I'm not sure. A month maybe?,". She sounded displeased at Edward questioning her psychic skills. Edward made a sound of disgust and Bella could just picture the frown that was most probably adorning his beautiful face.

"Yes, it is that bad Alice!," Edward snapped at Alice, obviously to an unspoken thought.

"But why Edward? Is he really that bad? Really?," Alice all but pleaded. Bella's stomach clenched and unclenched. She couldn't believe Alice would betray her like this, trying to persuade Edward about Seth. At least, that's what she assumed Alice was trying to do. Edward growled and snapped his teeth together.

"Alice, keep yourself out of this. It doesn't concern you," Edward said irritated, "I don't want Seth, I love Bella and only Bella,".

Bella felt her heart swell at the love behind his words. Yes, she would always be his Bella and he would always be hers whether Seth or Alice wanted it or not. She would make sure of that.

~Seth's POV ~

Seth couldn't believe what Bella had said-what he had said. He would never have imagined that him and Bella would be fighting over anyone at all, let alone her boyfriend! Seth had to suppress a laugh as the full extent of just how ridiculous it was occurred to him. Of course, ridiculous or not, reality still remained the same. He was still Imprinted on Edward, still ready to fight for him and now apparently at war with Bella for him. Seth held back a sigh, because when you're a house full of Vampires with hyper hearing, it doesn't bode well to make even the slightest of sounds. If they thought he was in need of anything, they might send Rosalie up here to check on him. Seth shuddered at the thought. Not that he had anything against Rosalie, just that she was always extremely unpleasant towards Seth-any of the Quileute wolves actually. Seth had engaged in a lengthy conversation with Leah just not a moment ago. Alice had danced her way into the bedroom Seth was in and handed him the wireless phone. Leah had berated him for running off "like that" and without telling anyone and then proceeded to ask him how the Leeches were treating him. He had answered with the standard yes no, and okay. After half an hour she handed Seth over to Jacob a fact he was just shy of ecstatic about. Jacob told Seth to be ready in an hour, and they'd be there so he was up getting dressed in the clothes Esme had brought up for him. He would've sworn they were Edward's from the size and the style but they didn't have his smell. They didn't have any smell actually but that probably had something to do with Alice's obsession with shopping Seth concluded. Seth had just finished pulling the T-Shirt over his head when he heard a light tap on the door. He stared at the door, afraid to say "come in" in case it was Bella, coming back to argue some more. He stood there for a few seconds debating it over and then thought that if Bella was going to argue, she would've just burst it open in her melodramatic way anyway.

"I'm decent, it's cool," Seth called out to the mystery knocker. The door opened and Seth was breathless as he took in the sight of his Imprinted. He wasn't just being discriptive either, he really did feel as though he wasn't breathing right. Sometimes...Imprinting sucks, thought Seth, although he could barely keep warm happy waves of emotion from washing over him at the sight of Edward.

Edward smiled a crooked smile at Seth's latest thought.

"Yes, I think I can agree there," Edward said playfully. Seth felt his face plummet as Edward had basically called him a nuisance. Edward obviously realised what he had done and laid his hand on Seth's shoulder.

"I didn't mean it that way Seth I...Well I just meant that it's complicated things some what," He said gently. Seth's heart began to race as Edward touched him and he barely took in what Edward had said. It's the first time he's ever touched me, Seth thought, and man does it feel good. Edward stumbled a few steps backward as though Seth's thoughts had burnt him. He blinked a good few times and grimaced.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable," said Seth honestly. He wasn't sorry for thinking what he did, but he was sorry if it caused Edward any pain.

"..It's fine. It's to be expected after all," said Edward, his voice almost gruff. As gruff as the softest silk or velvet could ever me anyway. Seth couldn't get enough of it. The very sound of it make him shiver in ways he couldn't explain, not even to himself. He would most definitely fight for that, even if it meant upsetting Bella. A small laugh escaped Edward's mouth, shocking Seth just a tad. He was beginning to understand that Edward needed mood swing control.

"I heard from Alice about your...Goal of acquiring me. I admit, I understand why you would want to do this, but I assure you Seth I'm in love with Bella and nothing, not even your Imprint can change that," He said, giving Seth a look as though daring him to challenge him on that opinion. While Seth was always up for a dare, he thought he'd let that drop for now. It was no use arguing it out with Edward, he was too stubborn. Seth settled for a wry smile in Edward's direction.

"So, what exactly did Alice see in her vision earlier on? It seemed pretty big," Seth said casually trying to bring the situation back down to a normal level, like they were at before things got awkward with Edward's denouncement of Seth. Edward shook his head ever so slightly and looked at Seth in what Seth considered an odd manner.

"Alice was seeing....An improbability," said Edward simply, as though that simple sentence would suffice. Seth was a very curios person. Edward snorted at Seth's train of thought and then looked at him slyly.

"As they say, curiosity killed the cat-or the dog, in your case," He smiled at Seth. Ha, like I can't see a diversionary tactic when I see one, Cullen, Seth thought, purposefully directing it at Edward.

Edward's face fell and his eyes narrowed dangerously at Seth.

"Would you just drop it Seth?," He asked, glaring at Seth but his voice betrayed him. He sounded as though he were pleading. Seth debated for a second whether or not to just drop it, but reconsidered. He'd already dropped one argument for Edward's sake, not again.

"Look, if you don't tell me I'll just go ask Alice so you might as well save me the trouble," said Seth almost threateningly, hoping Edward really would tell him now. He didn't have the time to go and find Alice before Jacob and Leah got here. Edward groaned and shook his head so fast and short it was almost comical to Seth. Edward's face suddenly became blank and mask like. He turned to face Seth and stared him straight in the eyes.

"No, I'm not telling you. And neither is Alice," he said forcefully, sounding for the first time like an actual Vampire. Seth liked it. Seth just smiled at him and said "If I get my way she will,".

Edward growled and loomed over Seth,another thing Seth liked. Seth's teenage hormones kicking into high gear did not escape Edward's keen notice, nor the fact that they were close enough to feel each other's breath. Seth acted on the spur of the moment, not even thinking, before Edward could react to Seth's thoughts and move away. He pressed his body against Edward's, crushing his lips to the Vampires stone-hard, cold ones. Seth wrapped his arms around Edward's shoulders, trying with all his might to get a response out of him but it didn't work. Edward was stock still, his arms limp at his sides. Seth opened his eyes marginally, only to open them further when he realised that Edward's eyes were open with shock. Seth took a few steps back, letting the Vampire have some space after Seth's intrusion. He might have found "Scary Edward" sexy, but he actually didn't want Edward to get angry enough to act on it. Seth just sat back down on the bed after a full minute of staring at Edward, who was still completely still, devoid of facial expressions and all. Seth cleared his throat and said "Edward...Are you okay?," quietly, feeling almost guilty. Almost. That kiss had just been the highlight of his life so far. Edward slowly backed away from Seth, stopping at the doorway. "Leah and Jacob are outside, waiting for you. I would hurry if I were you, they sound worried," he said, completely monotone, before fleeing the room. Seth sighed and left the room himself. As he walked down the staircase he was confronted by the sight of Edward kissing Bella right by the front door. Hmph those bastards, thought Seth, guess they do go out but still. Doing it right in front of him, it wasn't exactly fair. Neither was kissing Edward when he belongs to Bella, said a nasty little voice inside his head, which instigated a wave of guilt. Edward didn't even look up at Seth, he just whispered something to Bella and disappeared into the kitchen, with Bella following him. He had just reached the door when Esme grabbed him into a hug. She pulled back and smiled at him with affection that reminded Seth of his own Mother, Sue.

"Thanks for having me Esme, it means a lot," Seth thanked her with feeling.

"Oh it was no trouble, none at all," she waved him off. She looked at him hesitantly before speaking again.

"Would you like to come over Saturday, Seth? For dinner," she said, looking anxious, glancing over at the direction Edward and Bella had left to.

"Uh..Esme I don't think that's such a hot idea," Seth replied begrudgingly, because he would have loved to have had dinner but it didn't look as though Edward, or Bella, would appreciate that. He heard a high pitched gasp and tiny Alice suddenly stood next to him, as though she had been there all along. She glared at him with her perfect golden eyes and pulled in a huge breath of air.

"Have you forgotten what you decided to do? If you give up now, you're never going to get what you want," she spoke in a whisper just low enough for Esme and him to hear. Esme clicked her tongue disapprovingly. Alice ignored her adoptive mother. Seth sighed and had to agree that she was right, he did decide to fight for Edward.

"Okay Esme, I'll be here Saturday," He said, hearing a hiss from the kitchen, most probably Edward. The fight began from here, and it was going to be long and hard, Seth knew that. At least he'd have Alice to boost his moral should he become dejected again. He only hoped the pack wasn't too unhappy with his kissing Edward....

Okay guys, I'm trying to give you a little more action here xD so R&R and enjoy! Also, I'm going to come up with a side story for this one, so I can write a whole new story to go side by side with. Tell me what pairing I should do ;-)
