Chapter 3: Settling into the normal life

...

Three days later

Thursday afternoon

It was 4:33 and Danny was sitting on Ethan's couch flipping through the TV channels. "Ethan will you come out already!" He yelled. "I'm sure that you look just fine!" He looked up from the TV when he heard the bathroom door open and close, seconds later Ethan appeared. Danny couldn't help but smile at the sight of Ethan. Ethan wore a bright yellow shirt that was tucked into beige uniform pants and a hat that read RJ's Burger's on the front was pulled down to cover his eyes. "You don't look that bad."

"I look like a dweeb Danny." Ethan says removing the hat. "Hell I don't even like burger joints like this one."

"Then why did you apply?" Danny asked resting his elbows on his knees.

"Because no one else would hire me cause I'm still in school." Ethan goes over and sits next to Ethan on the couch. "Have you ever been there, I mean what is it like?"

Danny sighed. "Most of the people that work there go to Beacon Hills so don't be surprised if you see familiar faces."

"Well that's good because I can get to knew some new people." Ethan says. "Maybe this won't be so bad after all."

Danny sat back and turned to face Ethan. "There is one problem though, Jonathan works there as a cashier."

"Oh." Ethan says looking down.

"That's why I was surprised you applied there." Danny says. "Maybe you can go somewhere else."

Ethan shook his head. "I'm bound to run into him from time to time so I might as well deal with him."

"So you never told me your hours." Danny says laying back on the couch.

"Well I have to be there at five in the afternoon and I don't get off until ten." Ethan moved between Danny's legs and laid down on top of him. His hands on either side of his head. "Which sucks because we won't be seeing much of each other until the weekend." He then started kissing Danny on the neck.

Danny's fingers tangled in Ethan's short hair and pulled him into a kiss. His other hand easing down to the top of Ethan's pants, pulling out his shirt.

Ethan reluctantly pulled away though. 'If this goes any farther then I'm going to be late for my first day." He whispered against Danny's lips.

Danny smiled as Ethan got off of him. "You started it." He watched as Ethan tucked his shirt back in before putting his hat back on. "Seriously though, how do I look?"

"Honestly you do look little dorky but you're still cute." Getting up his grabbed his jacket and keys before following Ethan out of the apartment. After saying their goodbyes and Danny headed home.

...

Later that night

It was a little after nine when Danny was just getting out of the showers and was looking for something to wear when Ethan burst into his room. "Ethan, what are you doing here?"

Ethan's words got caught in his throat when he saw that Danny was soaking wet and in only a towel. "Wow um I need to tell you something." His eyes drifted down and he suddenly wished that he had x-ray vision.

Danny smiled. "Then why don't you look me in the eyes and tell me what's going on."

"I got fired." Ethan says looking back up at Danny.

"What?" Danny says. "How did you get fired on your firs day, what happened?"

"I got in a fight with Jonathan." Ethan says. "Before you say anything he started it."

Danny didn't bother to put on clothes as he sat next to Ethan on the bed. "How exactly did he start it and how did you get in here anyway?"

"I used a spare key under a rock in your backyard. The other day when I was here I overheard you and your folks talking about it." Ethan says. "As for Jonathan he kept getting in my face talking about how it wasn't over between you two and how much he still loved you. He said that you might be with me but you're always thinking about him. He says that you're going to realize that you're still in love with him and you're going to end things with me once you see that."

Danny nodded. "And did you believe him or do you really think that I would do something like that to you?"

"I know you wouldn't but he sounded pretty sure of himself." Ethan says looking down.

"That's because he's cocky and thinks he always gets what he wants." Danny reaches up and turns Ethan's face towards his own. "But he's not getting me because I'm all yours." He wrapped his hand around Ethan's head and pulled him into a kiss. It was only suppose to be a reassuring one but it quickly escalated and soon Danny was lying on his back. His fingers swimming through Ethan's hair as he kissed down his wet chest before making his way back to his lips. Ethan's sat up on his knees and moved down to the towel that was still around Danny's lower half, slowly tugging it open.

Pulling away from Danny Ethan sat up and discarded his shirt. He smiled when Danny hands ran down his bare chest, stopping when they reached his belt buckle. His eyes never left Danny's as he undid the belt and opened his jeans. He laid back down on top of Danny and wiggled out of his jeans. He groaned in Danny's mouth when their two members brushed against the other. "Danny?" He breathes out.

"Shhhh." Danny whispered as reaching down he grabbed Ethan's dick, slowly moving his hand up and down his shaft. Suddenly he flipped them over so he was on top. He sat up, grabbed a bottle of lube out of his top dresser and started to open it but Ethan grabbed his hand. "What?"

"We don't need that." Ethan says propping himself up on his elbows. "You know I can take it."

"Werewolf powers or not I don't want to hurt you now turn over." When Ethan turned over and got on his hands and knees Danny dribbled some of the cold liquid in his hands before rubbing onto his member. Tossing it on the floor he got back on his knees behind Ethan. It wasn't a secret that he was way bigger then Ethan was but considering that this was Ethan's second time bottoming he still didn't want to hurt him. Ethan lowered his head as Danny eased inside of him, carefully not to hurt just like he did the first time he bottomed for Danny. Danny knew that Ethan had never bottomed before so it made him feel good that he was Ethan's first. Once he was fully inside he waited until Ethan relaxed around him before he pulled out slowly went back in. Their slow pace didn't last long and soon Ethan found himself pushing back onto his partner. Danny gripped Ethan's hips to hold him in place before he repeatedly slammed into him. Then he heard a low growl and that made him stop. "Ethan?"

Ethan took a few seconds to catch his breath before looking back at Danny, a small smile on his lips. "Sorry, I couldn't help it." Dropping his head he waited until Danny started up again. His claws digging through the bed sheets, through the mattress. Then Danny's hand reached around him and started moving his hand up and down his already leaking dick. Feeling Danny release inside of him became too much and he didn't hold back as he let out another low growl before collapsing on the bed. Seconds later he no longer felt Danny above him but next to him. After catching his breath he moved closer to Danny and rested his head on his chest. As he drifted off to sleep he heard Danny whisper that he loved him and he smiled.

Thirty minutes later

Danny was lying down on the foot of his bed watching Ethan as he got dressed. His head rested in his hands and a sheet covered his still naked lower half. "So what are you going to do now?"

Ethan nodded. "I guess I'm going to have to look for another one. I know I can't afford to live where I do now for too much long. With the money Aidan gave me plus my own I only have a few more months."

"What about Aidan?" Danny asks.

Ethan paused and looked over at him. "What about him, he's not coming back Danny so I have to focus on me."

"You don't really believe that do you?" Danny says sitting up and moving to the edge of the bed, pulling the covers with him. "That Aidan is just going to walk out of your life and never come back."

"He said it himself Danny, that he doesn't want to be here." Ethan grabbed his shoes and sat next to Danny. "I mean he's been gone for a week now and he hasn't even called. He trashed his cellphone before he left so I have no way of knowing if he's even alive."

"I thought you two could feel when the other one was in pain or something." Danny says.

"We lost that ability when Jennifer killed our alpha form." Ethan sighed. "To be honest with you ever since that night I've felt like I lost a apart of me. I mean for years it's been just me and him and now...I'm sorry, I just miss him."

Danny started to feel guilty and he moved away from Ethan to the other side of the bed. "Do you regret that you decided to stay with me?"

"No I don't regret it I just wish Aidan would have stayed with me too." Ethan says putting on his socks and shoes. He moved over to where Danny was and grabbed his hand. "But that doesn't change the fact that I love being here and I love being with you. Being away from him is just going to take some getting use to but as long as I have you I'll be alright."

Danny nodded. "Alright."

Ethan leans up and captures Danny's lips. "I love you."

"I love you too." Danny replies. He watched as Ethan grabbed his jacket and keys before leaving him room. He sat there until he heard Ethan's bike start up and walked over to his open window. Dethan waved at him once more before pulling out of his driveway and disappearing into the darkness. Walking back to his bed he started removing the covers and when he saw the claw marks on his mattress he smiled before flipping it over. He threw his old sheets into the wash alone with his blanket before remaking his bed and taking another shower. After getting dressed he went back to his room and laid down on his freshly made bed, falling asleep in a matter of seconds.

...

Friday after school

Now that Ethan was on the lacrosse team he'd gotten a lot closer to Scott, and Stiles while Isaac was a work in process. Danny was absent because of a family emergency so he was alone with the other beta, human and Alpha.

"So Ethan I heard what happened with you and Jonathan at RJ's Burgers and I might know a way to help." Scott says. They were just getting out of lacrosse practice. "I work with Deaton at the animal clinic and I could use some help. It pays well plus Deaton knows about us so we don't have to hide or anything."

Ethan sighed. "I don't know, I mean what exactly would I be doing?"

"Basically the same thing I do." Scott says. "Taking care of the animals." He saw the hesitant look in Ethan's eyes and patted him on the shoulder. "Okay what if you stop by later and I'll show you around and we'll see how it goes from there."

Ethan smiled. "Thanks Scott." So when later rolled around Ethan found himself sitting in the parking lot of the animal clinic. He sat there for about five minutes before getting up and going inside. Deaton was at the front so he cautiously walked over to him.

"Ethan, I didn't think that you would show up." Deaton says closing the notebook he was reading.

Ethan swallowed. "Um did Scott already talk to you about me coming here."

"Yes he did and I don't mind you working here part time." Deaton nodded to the kennel. "Scott's in the back so you can go on back there."

Ethan nodded and made his way to the back. He could smell the animal as he neared the kennel. Pushing the door open he saw Scott in the very back and it looked like he was feeding a very large dog. "McCall!" He called out.

"Hey." Scott closed the door to the cage, picked up the huge bag of dog food and headed up to where Ethan was. "So you're here, come on I'll show you around." Scott walked off and Ethan followed him.

...

It was late and Danny was just getting home from the hospital. His dad had got in a minor car accident earlier so he left school early to got to the hospital. While his mom went upstairs to change out her work clothes Danny went to the kitchen to warm up the food he got from the store earlier that day. He was currently staring at it as it went around and around when his phone started vibrating in his pockets, he pulled it out and answered it. "Hello?"

"I'm going to kill Scott!" Ethan barked from the other end of the phone.

Danny removed his food from the microwave and sat down at the table. "Why, what's going on?"

"He had me cleaning up crap all day in this hell of an animal clinic, plus a dog pissed on me then the little bastard bit me!" Ethan yelled again.

Danny smiled. "So Scott got you a job with him at the animal clinic?"

"Yeah." Replied Ethan. "And all this stuff that happened to me came from that devil of a dog in the back of the kennel. You should have seen the way it was looking at me Danny, like it wanted to bite my head off or something."

Danny laughed. "So what did you do?"

"Scott told me to show it who the alpha was so I did and that when he bit me." Ethan sighed. "I swear out of all the dogs there that was the only one who acted like a psycho around me."

Danny shrugged and took a bite out of his hamburger. "Maybe he's not use to strangers."

"That's what Scott said but you should have seen the smile on his face." Ethan says walking into his apartment. "He was enjoying himself while watching me make a fool of myself."

"So besides all that did you enjoy yourself?' Asked Danny.

"Yeah." Replied Ethan. "Deaton showed me a few things that I didn't know that I could do and Scott told me some things about him and vise versa. Who knew that one day Scott McCall and I would have a decent conversation with each other that didn't involve death. He's actually a pretty decent guy once you get to know him. Isaac too but Stiles is a completely different story. You know when we were in the locker room he kept asking me if I found him attractive and I didn't know what to tell him."

"He asks me that all the time too but I never answer him." Danny replied.

Ethan sighed and sat down on his bed. "So what happened with that family emergency you had to deal with, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, someone ran into the back of my dads car." Danny says. "He's alright though but my mom was so freaked that she has him on bed rest until she's convinced that he's okay." The phone went quiet and Danny thought back on his conversation with Ethan the day before. "Besides all of that are you alright?"

"Danny I'm fine." Ethan assures him. "I promise that if or whenever I do need to talk I'll come to you. Now it's late and I know you're exhausted so I'll call you tomorrow, maybe we can hang out."

"Alright." Danny replied.

After saying goodbye Ethan took a quick shows before eating leftover pizza he bought the day before. Before he went to his room he went back to the living room to get his phone and that's when he saw that he had a missed call and a voice-mail. He didn't recognize the number so he just listened to the voice message, it was Aidan. Once the recording was done he tried calling the number back but there was no answer. Either way he was glad to hear his brothers voice after a week of nothing.

Saturday

Ethan's apartment

"So all he said was that he was okay and he missed you?" Danny says. He was sitting on the couch while Ethan's head rested on his lap. Their fingers tangled together on his chest.

"Yeah." Replied Ethan. "He said that he's sorry he hasn't called as much as he wanted to but he could never get to a phone. He didn't tell me where he was but he I didn't get the feeling from his voice that he was in trouble so that's a good thing." He looked up at Danny when he didn't respond. "Something wrong?"

"What, no everything is alright." Danny says looking down at him. "I was just thinking about something, it's not important so no need to worry." S phone then started ringing and Ethan grabbed it from the table and handed of to him. "Thanks." He saw Lydia's name flashing and answers it. "Hey Lydia...really...no were just hanging out at his apartment...alright then I'll see you later." Hanging up the phone he looked down at Ethan and started to talk but Ethan cut him off.

"So you and Lydia are going to have a little girls night in." Ethan says looking back towards the TV. "Pillow fights, chocolate with ice cream, romantic comedies and boy talk, sounds like fun, can I come too?"

"Sure but I don't think you'll enjoy yourself." Danny asks. "Besides that's not what we're going to do. Why don't you hang out with Scott and the others tonight. "Maybe you and Isaac can have a heart to heart and settle your differences since you said that you guys were cool now?

"We are but I still feel bad for what happened." Ethan says. "I've actually been wanting to talk to him about it for a while now but I never knew where to start."

"Well whatever happened I hopes everything works out." Danny says looking back to the TV.

Ethan stares up at Danny, nervously chewing on his bottom lip. "Danny, I know you said that you didn't want to know about my past but ever since we talked in the stairway I've been feeling like I'm keeping something from you and I don't like it. I know everything about you now and I want you to know everything about me, especially the bad. You can't honestly say that you aren't even a little curious."

Danny sighed and looked down at Ethan. "Okay so maybe I am a little curious as to why Isaac was always attacking you."

"I want us to be able to tell each other everything, no secrets." Ethan says and Danny nods.

A half hour later

Ethan was leaning against the wall across the room watching Danny from the couch as he took in what Ethan had just told him. "I totally understand if you want to leave."

Danny looked over at Ethan. "Why would I leave, I told you before that your past is your past and it doesn't change the way I feel about you." He smiled and patted the cushion next to him. "Come back so we can finish the movie." Ethan smiled and laid back down feeling like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders, his head resting on Danny's lap.

...

7:33 that night

Lydia was up in her room with her stereo playing low when her phone rang. She reached over and answered it. "Hello?" There was no answer but she could hear someone breathing on the other end. "Hello perv I can hear you breathing." She heard a familiar chuckle before the line went dead. She stared at the phone thinking the unknown number would call back but it never did so she forgot about it. She returned her focus on herself again as she put on her makeup when her foot opened and closed. "Not now mom I'm busy."

"I hope you're not trying to look good for me because I'm sorry to say that I play for the other team." A voice says.

Lydia turned around just as Danny laid down on her bed. "Hey, how did you get in here my mom just left?"

"She was just getting into her car when I pulled up and she let me in." Danny says. "Who were you just talking too before I came in here?"

"I don't know." Lydia says. "The number was unknown and all they did was breathe on the other end. I could have sworn that I heard someone laugh and call me crazy but it sounded like Aidan."

"Maybe it was." Danny says. "Aidan called Ethan last night from an unknown number so it's possible." He moved over to the edge of the bed. "Why are you getting all dressed up anyway?"

"Because were going out." Lydia says getting to her feet. "All were waiting for is Allison and Kira."

"Where exactly are we going?" Danny asked.

"I need to get my mind off of Aidan so were going to the Jungle." Lydia says.

"How will being surrounded by gay guys going to help you?" Danny asks.

"Because all I want to do is going out dancing without being hit on by and old geezer who still lives with his parents." Lydia says. "And the jungle is the perfect place for that now you on the other hand will have to try to keep your hands to yourself."

"You won't have to worry about that." Danny says getting up when he heard a horn coming from outside. "That's Allison and Kira, are you ready to go?"

Lydia looked back to the mirror and did a quick check up before grabbing her jacket, keys and purse. "Let's go."

Fifteen minutes later the four of them were at jungle. Allison and Kira were dancing with a group of guys in drag while Danny sat with Lydia at the bar.

"So how is it going with you and Danny?" Lydia asks.

"Good." Danny says. "It's everything I've ever wanted but I feel bad about Ethan. "The other day we were talking and I stupidity brought up Aidan. He says that he's okay but I can see how much being without Aidan affects him. I just wish there was something I could do to help him."

"Danny leaving was Aidan's choice." Lydia says. "And besides we came out tonight to have fun so come on let's dance."

...

Ethan was sitting on the couch in the McCall's resident trying not to look so annoyed. Stiles was talking about anything and everything he could think of. Scott seemed invested in whatever he was saying while Isaac was glued to the TV. He sat on the far end of the couch by himself staring down at his phone, hoping Danny would call so he'd have an excuse to leave. He looked over at Isaac who briefly looked back at him before turning back to the TV. 'Now or never' He thought before getting up and going over to him. "Hey Isaac um can I talk to you for a minute?"

Isaac looked up at Ethan before glancing at Scott who smiled. "Sure." He got up and followed Ethan to the kitchen. "So what's going on?" He says leaning against the counter.

Ethan leans on against the counter across from him. "Look I know that I'm not your most favorite person in the world after what happened between us. I just want you to know that I regret what happened and I know it won't bring them back but I'm really sorry about Boyd and Erica."

Issac sighed and unfolded his arms. "You're right it won't bring them back but it means a lot that you apologized so thanks and if you ever want to get together and work on our chemistry on the lacrosse field I wouldn't mind."

Ethan smiled. "Cool." There stood in silence a few seconds before they heard Stiles voice so they went back to the living room. Scott was retrieving the pizza they had ordered and Stiles was sitting on the arm of the couch smiling at them. "Why are you smiling?"

Stiles kept smiling. "Aren't you two the cutest, did you guys kiss and make up?"

Ethan only glared at the smaller teen while Isaac simply shook his head and walked back over to the couch. He walked pass Stiles and sat back in his seat when Scott sat down next to him. "What Scott?"

Scott looked over and Stiles and Isaac who were devouring a slice of pizza. "Have you talked to Danny about you know what?"

Ethan paused before shaking his head. "We haven't really had anytime alone to talk so I haven't really brought it up yet." Scott just stared at him. "What?"

"Why do I get the feeling that there is something you're not telling me." Scott says.

Ethan shrugged. "I don't know." Just then his phone started ringing and he quickly got to his feet. "That's probably him right now um I'll be back in a minute." He quickly walks out the front door and pulled out his phone, it wasn't Danny but one of his neighbors. "Hello... what...no don't do that...yeah it's probably nothing but I'm actually not far...thanks for calling...bye." He hung up the phone and turned to find Scott standing behind him.

"Is everything okay?" Scott asked.

"My neighbor just called and said she came home from work and heard someone in my apartment." Ethan says. "She knows that Aidan is gone so she freaked out and called me. I have to go but thanks for having me over."

"Don't mention it." Scott says. "I'll see you tomorrow." He watched Ethan go before he headed back inside.

Ten minutes later Ethan pulled into his apartment complex, hopped off his bike and headed up to his place. He went to unlock the door but paused when a familiar feeling rushed over him. Quickly opening the door he walked through the house and to the kitchen where the light was on. He stopped in his tracks when he saw someone sitting at the table eating a bowl of lucky charms. "Aidan?"

Aidan paused from eating his bowl of cereal and smiled up at his brother. "Good to know that all my stuff is still here."
