Reopen

Seth woke up from a knock on the door. His ear perked slightly to hear who it was, before getting up and opening the door all bleary eyed. With his eyes still half closed, he collapsed on the nearest bed and went back to sleep. It had been a while since he got decent rest. There wasn't any current threats of vampires, but because of the Alpha having a baby they've all been patrolling like crazy. He didn't mind though, a part of him felt the need to protect his Alpha's baby. That would most likely be the wolf part of him. Jacob rolled his eyes at Seth and grab the key card before leaving to get the two of them some food.

By the time Jacob came back, Seth was still asleep, but the smell of food quickly woke him up. Seth jumped out of his bed and went straight to the bathroom to wash his face and hands. Jacob set up the burgers, chips and drinks down at the table and didn't wait for Seth before eating. Seth caught him and gave him a grin.

"So, everything went well?" Seth asked. Jacob nodded with his mouth full. Seth laughed it off and began eating as well. Once they were done eating, Jacob told Seth what happened.

"She wants a long distance friendship?" Seth asked incredulously. Jacob nodded sagely and sighed.

"Our whole relationship has been her sacrificing and me being selfish. If this is what she wants, I have to give it to her." Jacob explained. Seth frowned at that.

"Okay, but is that what your really going to do? What if she completely moves on?" Seth asked him. Jacob thought about it for a minute before grinning madly at Seth. Seth raised an eyebrow in question.

"Even if we're huge, we're pretty stealthy right?" Jacob began. Seth already knew where this was going but nodded anyway.

"That means I can keep an eye on her while being on a 'long distance relationship'" He explained, using air quotes at 'long distance relationship'. Seth smiled uncertainly.

"You mean you're going to spy on her?" Seth asked. Jacob looked affronted.

"No! It's not 's more like me, making sure she's safe and alive without her knowing." Jacob explained. Seth nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that is nothing at all like spying. Sorry." Seth bantered. Jacob glared at him and Seth gave him dead panned look. After a moment they both burst out laughing. Seth observed how gaily Jacob laughed now. It has been a long time since he has heard him laughing sincerely. The boys informed the pack and loved ones what they were doing, and everyone gave their support. It would be a little hard on the pack, but everyone knew that they had to get this done and over with.

Jacob and Seth followed Adalie around like, well dogs. The first time Jacob saw Justin, he almost went to fight him but Seth managed to calm him down. Through out the month, Jacob saw how much his imprint truly loved and cared for this guy. He also saw how much the guy loved her. It was a conflicting feeling to feel happy that someone can love her that much, and be angry about it at the same time. Jacob found out why she couldn't leave Justin. He understood why she chose him, for now. Seth was his shoulder to lean on and Seth was proud of that.

When Seth's father died, he had just phased. Jacob was with him for every process of phasing and mourning. He has always looked up to Jacob, but ever since he became a wolf, the pup in him has already realized his true alpha was Jacob. Even as a human Seth has looked at Jacob as an older brother and leader. Part of the reason always had an attachment was because when he was about five years old, Jacob saved him when he was drowning at First Beach. Everyone was at shock and Jacob was the only one lucid enough to quickly save him. When he turned seven, he got bullied and Jacob and his friends stopped them. When he was eleven years old Jacob helped him get into the basketball team. Then when he was fourteen, the whole wolf thing happened. Everybody forgot how great Jacob was and still is because of the whole Bella incident, but Seth never forgot.

When Justin died, Jacob and Seth watched the funeral in the distance. When Adalie gave her eulogy, Jacob's tears couldn't stop streaking down his face. Seth cried too, but mostly because he remembered his father's funeral. A few days late, Jacob read Adalie's email. He understood that she need time for herself, but he didn't know if he could let her go again. After a few minutes he told Seth his plan and they started packing. Seth looked at Jacob and smiled.

"I can't wait to get back home." Seth told Jacob and Jacob laughed and nodded his head.
