A.N./ Ok, so I should probably stop lying to you all and making empty promises. I'm really sorry about that, It's not like I do it on purpose. And school starts tomorrow, but this story's almost done. So I know my chapters are real short and I know that sucks but I'm really sorry about that. Like I said, this is my first fic and I'm testing the waters with writing and I'm not that good at it. And I know, it's summer and I'm supposed to have all the free time in the world to write and such but that's not the case. I'm a busy busy bee even in the summer. So I'm gonna stop now before I go on forever and write that next chapter for you all.

Dislaimer: Teen Wolf = not mine. Dirty Sterek thoughts = mine.

Chapter 7

3rd Person POV

'Mates, of course! That explains everything!' Jackson thought to himself as he edged his way closer to Danny's bedroom window in the middle of the night. 'I can't believe even McCall knew before I did.'

After the initial shock wore off, Jackson felt like hitting himself in the back of the head. He had known that what he felt for Danny was different than what best friends felt for each other, but could never place a finger on what it was. When Scott told him Danny was his mate, it was like the world shifted and suddenly everything made sense again. He also felt like he owed Danny for all these years of ignorance of what his own heart was trying to tell him. So he came up with a plan to take Danny on a trip over the summer so it would just be the two of them. Of course now that he knew the truth, he couldn't wait another week before school let out and decided to take Danny on an early vacation, final exams were all finished anyway.

Climbing in through Danny's window, Jackson let out a long sigh. Seeing Danny asleep was a breathtaking sight. He looked so innocent with his messy hair and hands tucked under his pillow that it was a shame he had to wake him up. But Jackson reminded himself it would be worth it later. Slowly inching forward, Jackson quietly laid beside his mate on the bed and just watched him for a bit. After a few (Maybe more? Jackson doesn't care.) minutes, Danny began to stir and turned around, facing the wolf. Jackson decided now was as good a time as any and gently stroked the Latino's head, hoping to wake him up. Danny fluttered his eyes open and yawned as he rubbed his face with his hand.

"Good morning, Sunshine." Jackson smiled at him. Danny groaned and leaned up on his elbows.

"Dude, what are you doing here?"

"Rescuing you from a boring summer." Danny gave Jackson a confused look. "Huh?"

Jackson took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself to open up his heart. This was Danny, his best friend since forever. He could tell him anything. Sensing the new atmosphere, Danny sat up in his bed and waited for Jackson to begin.

"Danny, I'm so sorry I've been such a jerk to you lately. But you have to understand that I was confused. We've always been so close and when you started dating Stilinski I felt as if he was taking you away from me. I didn't want to lose my best friend and then I wasn't sure if I wanted you to just be my friend anymore….. or if I wanted something else for us." Jackson spoke in a rush but slowed down at his last words.

Danny realized what Jackson was trying to say through his sleepy haze. His eyes widened and he could not believe his ears! Was this really a confession from his best friend, his unattainable fantasy since he could remember? It was all too good to be true and his breath caught in his throat at the thought of his love being finally requited.

Jackson was searching Danny's eyes to see if he understood, but his expression seemed to be one of confusion. So Jackson went for the blunt confession.

"Look Danny, you know I'm not good with words but here I go. I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you for a long time now but I never knew until recently and now I know I can't live without you."

After taking a minute to process this new information, Danny's face broke out into a grand smile, dimples and all. He reached for Jackson's face, caressing his cheek and looking deep into his eyes for confirmation of what he said. Danny saw nothing but the truth in his eyes and at that moment he knew that he finally had everything he needed.

"Took ya long enough," was all he said, but it was enough for Jackson, for he smiled back with a smile full of pure joy before pulling Danny's face close to his and sharing their first kiss.

Their lips met softly and Danny was surprised at how gentle Jackson was with him. He'd never seen him kiss Lydia this way in all the time they were together. Jackson's smooth full lips moved in perfect synch with Danny's slightly chapped ones. After a short while, Jackson pulled back to press their foreheads together.

"Come with me to our summer house. My parents are off on their own vacation and we can be there together all summer, just you and me. Please say you'll come," he pleaded with Danny, looking deep into his eyes.

"After you finally told me you love me, I'd be crazy to say no. of course I'll come with you." Danny smiled at him. Jackson was so happy he pulled Danny in for another kiss, this one filled with passion that had been building up for years.

Jackson could feel his wolf attempting to come out and share this moment with their mate, but he held it back enough that he wouldn't transform. He knew he still had to tell Danny about werewolves but hey, they were teenagers in love. They could enjoy this moment of bliss together and worry about the rest tomorrow.

A.N./ Ok, so thoughts anyone? :\ I'd love to hear from any and every one! I have no Beta as of now, so I'm sorry if you see any mistakes! And if anyone out there wants to help me with my writing I would more than appreciate it! I could use improvement :x Also I feel like this story was supposed to be Sterek but got turned into mostly Janny and I feel bad about that. So this will be the last of Janny until more towards the end I think (if things go the way I want them to). The next parts will be real Sterek heavy and steamy (hopefully)! ;) But of course it will probably take me 5,000 years to upload again especially since school starts tomorrow. But until then, read and review!
