How are you? Erica's free in case you don't know...
[Private] Yeah. I talked to her.
Look, uh, can we maybe talk or something? Everyone is telling me not to blame myself, but it is my fault, and I just… you’re the only one who seems to understand that there is something wrong with me that I need to figure out to keep this from happening again.
Who: Jackson and Danny
Where: Danny's house
When: Monday 2/4
What: Jackson spends the night and the next day at Danny's house.
Jackson moved slightly in his sleep, gradually waking up at Danny's embrace. He hasn't slept all that much the night before, finally passing out around 4 in the morning. He blinked and rolled over to face Danny. "Hey," he said groggily, still half asleep. He pulled back slightly, tensing a little as he became more conscious.
Danny smiled as he heard Jackson say hey to him, finding himself incapable to stop himself from kissing Jackson briefly. "Morning babe." he said, smiling. "Are you ready to talk yet?" He asked, running a hand down Jackson's bare chest.
Jackson took a slow breath, eyes flickering down to train on Danny's hand. It hit him all at once that they hadn't been together like this in almost a month, but he barely remembered any of that time, just vague flashes of consciousness when he'd somehow managed to break free of the kanima's master. And now here he was, in bed with Danny. He swallowed. "As ready as ill ever be, I guess," he said finally.
Danny wasn't sure what he wanted to say really. He hadn't been able to say anything to Jackson for so long that he was unsure of how to start things. "I missed you." He whispered, reaching down to grab a hold of Jackson's hand. "And I was so worried I'd never get to see you again... I just... I don't even know what to say really." He finally admitted, looking down.
Jackson forced a small smile. He twined his fingers with Danny's and just focused on the feel of their hands together for a moment. Then he pursed his lips together, and looked up at Danny. "I'm scared," he mumbled. There was no one he could admit that to except for Danny. And it was still incredibly hard for him to say. He hated this. He hated that he had no control over anything anymore.
Danny wasn't sure how he was supposed to react to hearing Jackson admit that. He never thought that anything scared his boyfriend, he was always tough in the face of literally everything. "Why are you scared, you can tell me anything."
Jackson chewed the inside of his lip. "I'm scared I'm going to shift again. I'm scared I'm going to hurt you. I'm scared more people are going to die because of me. And there's nothing I can do about it." When he finished he looked down swallowing hard. He just wanted to curl up agains Danny and just /stop/ thinking about everything, but he couldn't do that, because he had to fix things and he had to figure out how to keep from shifting again.
Danny nodded and listened to Jackson, all of what the male was saying was completely valid, that much he could admit to himself. He knew though that Jackson wasn't going to hurt him, let alone kill more people. "No one else is going to die." He started to say, pulling Jackson close. "And you could never hurt me, you said so yourself." He said softly, trying to push the moment in the woods out of his mind. "And we're going to fix everything and you won't have to worry anymore."
Jackson rested his cheek on Danny's chest, comforted by the steady beat of his boyfriend's heart. He rested his hand on Danny's hip, rubbing his finger absently over Danny's warm skin. "I was talking to Isaac," he said slowly, "and he thinks that I need to figure out why I'm shifting in order to stop it. Why I'm not just a wolf."
Danny smiled, running his hand through Jackson's hair. "That sounds like a great idea." He said, still running his hand through Jackson's hair. "I could start doing some research. I could help that much."
Jackson nodded. He remembered what Derek said at first, that he hadn't been ready to be a wolf. But he thought he'd figured it all out, gotten past his issues. Apparently not. He held Danny close, letting out a breath. "I... I don't know what's wrong with me."
Danny sighed. He had never thought that he would ever be in a relationship that was quite so complicated. He thought that he and Jackson would be like any other relationship he'd ever had, sure Jackson was a werewolf, but he never thought that it would be such a difference. He was wrong. And if truth be told he wasn't sure how much longer he'd be able to handle it all. "Nothing is wrong with you Jackson... I mean... I don't know what I meant really."
Jackson squeezed his eyes shut, shaking his head. "Yeah? Then why do I keep turning into a goddamn lizard monster?" It sounded almost comical when he said it out loud, but really it was anything but. He knew the best thing for everyone would be if he just left and never came back, but Danny and Isaac had claimed otherwise. He pulled back from Danny and rolled onto his back, staring up at the ceiling.
Danny smiled as he watched Jackson roll onto his back, taking the time to prop himself up with his elbow. "Well I'm sure that it has something to do with some Supernatural bullshit." He said. As soon as it was out he wasn't sure that it was the best thing that he really could have said. "Whatever the answer to that question is, we'll figure it out."
Jackson sucked in a breath. "Yeah. Supernatural bullshit." He ran his hand through his hair. Then after a moment he said, "I'm not going to school today. I have a lot of shit to figure out. Schoolwork to make up."
Danny couldn't restrain the chuckle that came out as he listened to Jackson speak. "That's fine with me. Think we could have a little fun before you start on that missing schoolwork?' He asked, figuring that they should probably steer clear of the supernatural bullshit.
Jackson tilted his head towards Danny with a smile. "Yeah, we can do that." He moved his hand back to Danny's hip, leaning in to press his forehead to Danny's.
Danny grinned as he felt Jackson's hand on his hip, loving the fact that their sex life hadn't been effected. "I love you."
Jackson grinned for real, "I love you too," he said, moving so he was leaning over Danny. Then he tilted his head down to press his lips lightly to Danny's.
Danny smiled as he heard Jackson say he loved him. He knew he was never going to get over that. As they started to kiss he smirked, running a hand up Jackson's back, digging his nails into the other males shoulder.
Jackson deepened the kiss, running one hand through Danny's hair and cupping his cheek with the other. He was taking this slower than usual. Savoring the kiss and the feel of Danny's warmth against his skin.
Danny wasn't bothered by Jackson taking his time, taking is slower than they usually did. In fact he was loving it, after not having sex for so long it felt nice to be able to savor the kiss, the feeling of having Jackson back. It made it feel more special, like they were getting a second chance to rediscover the others body.
Jackson trailed one hand down Danny's chest and moved to kiss his jaw and then his neck, lips returning to mark the familiar spot on Danny's skin.
Danny moaned softly as he felt Jackson's lips return to what had to be Jackson's favorite spot on his body.
Jackson smiled against Danny's skin, as his hand ran over Danny's toned abs. He nudged his knee between Danny's legs, spreading then slightly apart. "I love you," he said again when he picked his head up, because he needed Danny to hear that, because he hated what he had put Danny through.
Danny blushed as he spread his legs for Jackson, moaning slightly at the feeling of Jackson's hand running over his abs. "I know you do." He whispered, tilting Jackson's head up, kissing his nose. "And I love you just as much as you love me..."
Jackson smiled, pressing his hips down against Danny's. He pressed another quick kiss to Danny's lips before pulling back, kneeling between Danny's legs.
Danny grinned. "You look amazing." He said, as he looked up at Jackson.
Jackson smirked, seeming to have gotten his usual confidence back somewhat. He slipped his fingers under the band of Danny's pajama bottoms and tugged then down over his hips. Then he rested his hands on Danny's knees, nudging them up.
Danny laid there and allowed Jackson to take over, easily slipping back into the roles that they'd become accustomed to earlier. As his pajama bottoms were tugged down, he grinned.
Jackson pulled off his own pants and then leaned in to press up against Danny again. He stroked his hardening cock a few times, slicking his fingers up with precum, then moving to press them against Danny's entrance.
Danny watched Jackson stroke his hardening cock, grinned as he watched Jackson lube his fingers up with precum, and finally moaned as he felt the digits brush against his entrance. "Slow. Please."
Jackson nodded, gently pressing one finger into Danny. He rested one hand flat on Danny's stomach, fingers curling with the curve of his waist. He slowly pressed his finger in deeper, and after a few moments joined it with a second. Danny was so tight, and Jackson was reminded just how long it had been since they'd last done this. He leaned down to kiss Danny.
Danny moaned as Jackson curled his fingers into his prostate, arching his back toward Jax. He knew that it had been a long time since they'd done this, and feeling Jackson digits in him brought it home how much he'd missed it. "Fuck..." Danny cursed.
Jackson hummed, pleased at Danny's reaction and slowly thrust his fingers in and out. "Tell me when, baby," he murmured.
Danny closed his eyes, rocking his hips in time with Jackson's finger thrusts. He knew that he wanted more, but he knew that he needed more prep. "Okay." he promised, moaning again.
Jackson scissored his fingers, thrusting with a little more force as he sucked at the mark on Danny's neck again.
Danny gasped and then whimpered as Jackson started to thrust with more force, sucking on his favorite spot. He knew that if he didn't want to cum then he'd have to have Jax enter him now. "I'm ready." he breathed out.
Jackson smiled into Danny's shoulder as he pulled his fingers back and strolled his cock a few times before pressing it against Danny's entrance. He moved one hand to underneath Danny's thigh, pushing it back against Danny's chest as he began to thrust into him.
Danny closed his eyes as Jackson pushed into him. It had been too long since they'd had this and he knew that was going to change. "Jax..." he moaned, grasping at the sheets.
Jackson began to pick up his pace, thrusting into Danny. "So good," he moaned against Danny's skin, "love you."
Danny arched his back toward Jackson, whimpering as the pace sped up. "Love you too..." he mumbled.
Jackson felt himself approaching his orgasm. He moved his hand to wrap around Danny's cock, stroking it in time with his thrusts.
Danny moaned as Jackson started to stroke his cock, biting down on his lip to try and silence himself.
Jackson picked his head up to watch Danny as he reacted. Jackson's breaths were coming fast and shallow as he thrust harder. "Gonna come baby," he gasped, hand stuttering on Danny's cock as he came hard into him.
Danny smiled as he heard Jackson's breaths becoming more labored, feeling his boyfriend thrust into him harder. And as Jackson started to fill him he felt himself reach his orgasm, moaning loudly. "Fuck."
Jackson continued to stroke Danny through his orgasm and then slowly pulled out, leaning down to kiss Danny. Then he moved to curl up around him, holding him close.
Danny: Danny whimpered softly into the kiss, and groaned as his body started to come down from his orgasm, smiling feeling Jackson curled around him. "I love you."
Jackson let out a breath and pressed a kiss to Danny's shoulder. "I love you too," he said softly.
Danny smiled. "You're still amazing in bed." He admitted, closing his eyes.
Jackson grinned, squeezing Danny tighter. "You're amazing too babe," he said. Then he sighed. "I don't ever want to leave this bed."
Danny found himself blushing as he listened to Jackson speak. "What about breakfast? We have to eat soon."
Jackson shook his head burying his face in Danny's neck. "Nope." He didn't care if he was acting like a five year old, he just really didnt want to let go of Danny.
Danny shook his head and giggled. "You have to babe. I'll force you if I have to."
Jackson smiled, kissing Danny again. "Fine," he conceded, but made no move to get up from the bed.
Danny grinned, loving the small victory. "What do you want for breakfast?"
Jackson shrugged. "Cereal is good," he said, suddenly realizing he was starving.
Danny nodded, not moving. "Okay. Eventually you'll get some cereal."
Jackson laughed and hugged Danny again. "I love you so fucking much."
Danny giggled as Jackson hugged him. "I love you just as fucking much." He said, smirking.
Jackson smiled wide and then pressed his lips to Danny's neck. "So, breakfast?"
Danny groaned as Jackson kissed his neck, hoping that was as far as Jackson was going to go. "Let me get some underwear."
Jackson laughed. "Hm kind of forgot you had roommates for a second." He disentangled his arms from around Danny's waist to let him get up.
Danny chuckled as he got up, crossed his room ans pulled out a clean pair of boxer briefs from his dresser. "So did I." he said, headed for the door.
Jackson watched Danny get dressed and walk towards the door. He wrapped his arms around his chest as Danny left the room, chewing his lip. He knew that if they didn't figure this out for good, figure out why he was becoming the kanima and /stop/ it, then he would have to leave, for Danny's safety, and everyone elses, but mostly Danny. He loved him so much, more than anything in his life, and he would rather die than hurt him. He stood up from the bed and found a clean pair of boxers and then followed after Danny into the kitchen, coming up behind him and wrapping his arms around his waist.
Danny was happy when he saw that Scott and Isaac weren't in the living room, and while he was sure that they were home, at least he didn't have to walk past them and see them right after he'd probably been louder than he should have been. As he entered the kitchen he pulled out two bowls, and he was going for the box of Special K when he felt Jackson's arms around his waist. "I love you." he said, pulling Jackson with him as he started for the cereal again.
Jackson hummed contentedly, resting his cheek against Danny's back.
Danny smiled, hurrying to finish pouring both bowls of cereal. "Breakfast is served."
Jackson reached for the bowl with one hand, keeping his other arm wrapped around Danny's waist. "You're the best."
Danny relaxed against Jackson as he started to eat. "Thanks."
Jackson took a bite of cereal, swallowing. Then he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. He would fix this, for Danny, so they could go to college together and get married and have kids and everything they talked about. He glanced over at Danny, not saying anything, just watching him, and thinking about how much he loved him.
Danny smiled as he dug into his breakfast. He wasn't any more hungry than usual, and it wasn't like the cereal was that great, but he couldn't help it. After a while he found himself looking over at Jackson, smiling. "It's good having you back."
Jackson nodded, leaning in to kiss Danny's cheek. "Skip school and help me catch up on my homework?" he asked.
Danny smiled. "You missed my big announcement, I'm doing Independent Study now... but I can definitely help you catch up. As long as I don't have to get dressed."
Jackson raised an eyebrow. "Independent study?" he asked. "Why?"
Danny "I couldn't really handle being at school, and staying home seemed... safer." Danny said, a sense of guilt washing over him. "That was before I knew it was you though... I wouldn't have questioned my safety if I had known..."
Jackson looked down, swallowing. "Oh," he said, darkly. "I... I'm sorry."
Danny shook his head. "Don't be."
Jackson swallowed. "It's my fault. You can't say it's not.''
Danny shook his head. "Stop blaming yourself Jackson." Danny said, sighing and then walking back to the bedroom.
Jackson followed Danny, folding his arms over his chest. "Who am I supposed to blame then?"
Danny sighed. "Maybe you should stop trying to blame someone, maybe we should all just focus on what's going on now. About getting passed it all."
Jackson looked down, "Yeah. Trust me, I'm trying to." He sighed.
Danny frowned and walked over to Jackson, hugging him. "I just... you're harder on yourself that you have reason to be. You're a good person Jackson."
Jackson leaned into Danny's embrace. "Hm," he said, like he wasn't fully convinced.
Danny slowly rubbed Jackson's back. "I know you act like a dick, but I wouldn't be with you if that was the only side you had."
Jackson took a breath. "Okay." Then he pulled back from Danny. "So homework?" he asked. "And then I have to call the UVA scout at some point and come up with some reason why I've been MIA for the last month..."
Danny smiled. "Yeah, and after all of that do you think you'll be up for a round two?"
Jackson grinned. "Always," he said, leaning in to quickly kiss Danny on the lips before moving to get dressed.
Danny smirked as he relished in the kiss before flopping down onto the bed, watching Jackson get dressed. "Did you actually bring clothes or are you stealing mine?"
Jackson smirked. "My pants, your shirt?" he said as he tugged one of Danny's v necks over his head. It was a little big on him, but it smelled like Danny.
Danny nodded. "And the underwear?" he asked, still looking at Jackson. If he were smart he knew that he should be getting dressed with Jackson, but he knew that it would only get tugged off later.
Jackson smirked wider. "Yours."
Danny moaned. "Why is that such a turn on?" He said before shaking his head. "But we can't talk about that, we need to do homework."
Jackson wiggled his hips suggestively, then chuckled. "Alright, homework."
Danny shook his head. "What's up first?"
Jackson groaned. "Statistics."
Danny nodded. "Not too hard."
Jackson sighed. "Tedious though."
Danny nodded yet again. "Okay."
Jackson pulled out his text book and sat down on the bed, opening to the last chapter they'd been working on before everything happened.
Danny scooted closer to Jackson, looking at the page. "Let me know when you don't understand."
Jackson leaned against Danny's side, resting the textbook on his lap. He skimmed the pages.
Danny smiled as he watched his boyfriend start to do his work, slowly starting to drift off.
Jackson continued to do his homework as Danny's breathing evened out. He smiled to himself.
Danny found his eyes closed, his breathing evening out as he finally drifted off to sleep.

…Jackson. You didn’t kill his beta, the demon—argh, whatever. I can’t argue with you. We’re not going to let you get hurt, though. Be—be careful, okay?

Yeah, well, he has every right to. I killed his beta.
