Hey, guys! :D I'm floored with all the reviews and favorites and alerts! I had no idea you would all like my story so much! Updates will be every monday, and since I'm already a chapter ahead, you have my word. Hopefully you all like where this is going. And please sign in to review, I tried to answer as many reviews as I could, but I couldn't answer all of them.
So to 'Sasha' I would like to say that even though this doesn't have much Janny in it, Danny would be Jackson's uke. Jackson seems more seme to me, sorry if tht turns you away.
And of course a huge thanks to my lovely friend and Beta Woman-of-the-night! Please enjoy chapter two!
Chapter 2: Stiles POV
Today's the day it all begins; Danny's master plan to win the heart of his beloved Jackson. 'And my master plan to see if I can get Derek to like me the way I like him.' In truth, I was head over heels for the guy, not that I'll ever admit to even thinking that. Ever since I met him, I thought he was the sexiest damn thing I've ever seen. That's what caused me to come out to my dad and Scott, the feeling that I didn't want to lie to them, even though I couldn't tell them the whole truth.
I'm not stupid, though, I know he hates me. But I just can't help feeling small and weak in a good way every time he looks at me with those damn green eyes. I don't get to stare at him for long, because when he catches me watching, I look down out of embarrassment. I can't help but wonder if he knows the way I feel about him, and if that's the reason he loathes me or not.
I got up, and dressed for school leaving earlier than I normally would to go pick up Scott. Once Scott got in, I let myself go on autopilot for a bit, my mind swarming with thoughts. 'You have to tell him. It's now or never.' So I took a deep breath and started speaking.
"Hey, Scott?" I asked, drumming my fingers on the steering wheel, trying to seem causal.
"Yea Stiles?" he looked at me curiously.
"I have got the funniest story to tell. Hilarious, even."
"Umm, what's it about?" he asked, confusion clear in his expression.
"It's about Danny…and me...and Jackson." 'And Derek.' I added inside my head.
"You're confusing me Stiles." he answered.
I sighed, wondering how to say it, and opted to be blunt with it. "Danny asked me to be his fake boyfriend so he could make Jackson jealous and ask him out." I let out in a quick gush of air.
In my peripheral vision I saw Scott just sat there, looking at me with an odd expression. Then, out of nowhere he burst into laughter, wheezing a lot. "What have you done?" he asked me after he got ahold of his breath.
"What do you mean? You know I'm a sucker for love. And Danny's my friend. I couldn't say no." I said with a frown on my face.
"Ok then, just be sure you know what you're doing." he said, still chuckling. "And if you need any help, count me in. This could be a perfect opportunity to mess with Jackson."
That caused me to laugh along with him; this was why we were best friends! "Another reason I agreed to do it."
As we pulled up, I saw Danny standing in a group amongst Jackson and other members of the lacrosse team. Scott and I were walking up to them when Danny came up to me and embraced me in a big, tight hug.
"Hey Stiles." he said, grabbing hold of my hand and walking me over to the group. His hand didn't feel uncomfortable, but not really pleasant either.
"Um, hi. Hey guys, how's it going?" feeling nervous. Jackson eyed our hands suspiciously.
"What's this about?" he pointed to our joined hands. He had a look of confusion on his face.
"Stiles is my boyfriend now." answered Danny, looking down at me smiling. "We just got together yesterday."
"About time, too! I've been chasing after him for a while now, isn't that right Scott?" I said with a laugh. The other members of the team laughed along.
"Yea, Stiles always talks about him." I saw Scott smile and I knew he was enjoying seeing Jackson's confusion.
We stayed and chatted a bit, me and Danny enduring a bit of teasing from the other members, most of it ended up with me blushing. All the while, Jackson didn't say much and just kept staring at me, then Danny, then our hands. As we entered the building for the day, Danny pulled me aside with an eager expression.
"Did you see that? Jackson was totally uncomfortable! That must mean us being together bothers him!" He was happy, and that made me happy for him.
"Yea, he'll be asking you to marry him in no time!" That caused Danny to laugh.
"There is only hoping," he replied. We went our separate ways to class. 'Now if only this could work as successfully on Derek.' I thought to myself as I barely made it to my first class on time.
School went the same as usual, except for lunch when I sat right next to Danny, in the same seat Jackson always sits. And he couldn't sit on his other side because Danny sits on the end of the table, so he had to sit on the other side of the table. He looked so uncomfortable sitting there.
Lacrosse practice was the same as lunch, weird stares from Jackson the whole time. It looked like he was trying to decipher why me and Danny were suddenly together. It's a good thing he didn't seem to like it, just makes this all the more fun.
This whole fake dating business wasn't so bad. I mean, Danny and I still acted like the good friends we are, we just add a bit of flirting whenever Jackson's there. And before I knew it, a whole week had gone by. Danny was starting to get upset, because he knew Jackson was uncomfortable with us being together, but when he confronted him, he just wouldn't say a word. I consoled him, telling him that Jackson probably needed some time to come to terms with his feelings. I even joked with Danny, saying that maybe we'd push his buttons far enough that he would spontaneously combust one of these days. That got a laugh out of him.
I knew that it would be tricky trying to get Derek and Danny in the same room together, considering Danny had no idea about the whole werewolf thing, but I didn't know it would be this hard. So when an opportunity arose, I knew it was time to make my move.
Scott had accidentally told the cops that Derek was the murderer going around town and that he tried to kill us. Because of this Derek had to hide in my house for a while, since he knew his house would be the first place the cops would look. When Derek first showed up outside my window, he scared the crap out of me.
"Jesus, Derek! Warn somebody before you sneak up on them." He looked at me with the same expression of boredom and anger he always wore.
"Listen Stiles, I need to hang out here for a while; At least until the friggin' cops stop looking for me." He spoke as he climbed into my bedroom through my window. I was shocked, to say the least. Derek Hale, in my house, for as long as he needed to? My heart beat started racing at this revelation.
"Oh, yeah. S-sure, you can stay here. Just don't scare me every time you show up." I told him trying to sound as causal and uninterested as possible. It wasn't easy.
"Don't worry, I won't be here often; as little as possible actually. I just need somewhere to crash for the night." My heart dropped at his statement, and then sped back up again at his last sentence. I knew he could hear my heart give away my feelings, but I hoped he would just take it as fear. And in truth, I was a little scared; what if I talk in my sleep and he hears me say his name? He'll never talk to me again for sure.
"Listen Derek, I have to go to school. But feel free to make yourself comfortable while you're here. I'll be back later and we can discuss the, um, sleeping arrangements." I felt a blush start to creep up my cheeks at the thought of Derek sleeping in my room. He just looked at me with an eyebrow raised and grunted in response.
I quickly got out of my house so as to avoid any further embarrassment and drove to school. A great idea came to mind. 'I should invite Danny over today! I mean, he is my "boyfriend' and all. This is my chance to see if I affect Derek at least a fraction of the amount he affects me!'
The rest of the ride to school was spent thinking up what would happen if Danny did come over. Either way, I knew I'd be getting the answer I so craved tonight, whether it was good or not.
'God, I sure hope it's good.'
I hope you all liked it! :D And sorry for the shortness of my chapters. I'll try to make them longer in the future. Please rate and review!
