The Swans Major

Alex POV

We had been searching through the list for a while now, me on the computer while Jasper wrote everything down.

"Robert E. Lee. Born in 1807, known best as a commander of the Confederate States Army." I paused my reading, "did you get all that?"

Jasper nodded, and turned to me, "Are you ok? You have been quiet tonight."

"I'm fine, just want to get this project done." He raises an eyebrow, "Fine."

I take a deep breath, "I heard you and Carlisle, before I came in."

His grip on the pencil tightens, causing his knuckles to whiten, "I was just wondering what he was talking about," his jaw is clenched now and i quickly say, "But, I know its none of my business, so nevermind."

He sighs and puts his pencil down to rake his hand through his hair, "No, I should tell you - I need to tell you, but i'm scared of what you'll think."

I put my hand on his, "Jasper-"

He cuts me off by standing up, pulling me with him, "I need to show you something, come on."

He pulls me through the house, passing Alice, "Good luck~" she sings, smirking.

We keep walking until we are outside at the edge of the woods, "Come on, lets get away from the house."

I slowly follow Jasper into the treeline, "Ok, now this really feels like you are going to murder me and leave me for the wildlife."

Jasper snorts from his spot in front of me, pushing branches out of the way for me.

We keep walking for about 15 minutes, and I can see the sun is beginning to set behind the already dark clouds. When Jasper stopped, we were on top of a hill, almost past the cloud cover.

"Jas," I'm panting from the hike, "What are we doing all the way up here?'

"You'll see," was his only response, causing me to huff and roll my eyes.
Just then I saw that the clouds were starting to thin and I could see the sunset. I walked up past Jasper so I could see better, "Wow, this is beautiful. Jas, are you seein-" I looked back at him where the sun was now shining on him.

He was glittering, literally glittering. It was like his skin had been made of billions of tiny diamonds. "Holy- What the heck?" I stepped backwards, tripping on a root and ending up on the ground.
I was still staring at Jasper, who had now taken off his shirt, so I could see even more of his glittering skin.

I looked at his arms, seeing how the diamonds shaped around his scars. Jasper was still silent, not looking at me, one of his hands tightly gripping his shirt. I stood up and brushed myself off before slowly walking towards him.

I stopped about a foot from him, and he looked at me, "I cant tell what you're feeling."

I laughed, and put my hands up, "What I'm thinking? You want to know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking of how the heck my best friend is sparkling like a diamond! I'M thinking of how the heck you and your brother are able to stop a car in its tracks, how your skin is ice cold. How you never come out in the sun, why your skin is so pale!"
I
look at Jasper in front of me, "WHat are you?" I breath.

He started putting his shirt back on, not answering me. Once it's on, he takes a breath and looks me in the eye, "I think you already know."

I shake my head, "What?"

He moves a little bit closer, so there are only a few inches between us, "Think, Alex. Think. What has pale, cold skin, super speed, strength? What doesn't go in the sunlight?"

"Are you telling me that you're a vampire or something?" He doesn't answer, "Holy shit."

I rake my hands through my hair, "What are you gonna tell me, that giant werewolves are real next?"

He chuckles and I can feel the breath ghost against my face, "Among other things."

I laugh, really laugh and back away, "This is awesome! I mean, vampires? That's so cool!" He looks surprised, like he wasn't expecting this reaction, "Wait! Vampires burn, don't they? But, then why do you sparkle?"

He shrugs, "I don't know, we just do."
He takes a deep breath and then smiles at me, again coming closer, "This is not how I was expecting you to react."
He brings his hand up to brush my hair out of my face, "You just keep surprising me. You should be running away, screaming. I'm a monster, Alex, I've killed, multiple times."

"Well," I tilt my head, making more hair fall in my face, "Carlisle said it wasn't you, and I trust him. You should probably get used to it, cause I'm not leaving, Jasper."

He leaves his hand on my face, stepping even closer, looking in my eyes, "And so the Lion fell in love with the lamb."

My eyes flit to his lips quickly before going back to his eyes, "What a stupid lamb."
I breathe, liking the way he smirks when my breath brushes against his face.

"What a sick, masochistic lion." With that, he leans across the small distance between us and kisses me.

It was... there are no words for it. Sparks erupted when we touched, And the kiss itself, oh my god.
It was slow, passionate, perfect. It was better than anything in the world. It made me feel like I was flying, it made me breathless.

The rest of the world disappeared and it was just us, together in the woods.

His hand cradled my face as I brought one of my hands up to the back of his neck, wrapping it in his hair.
He was holding my waist with his other hand like if he wasn't careful, I would break. Like I would shatter into a thousand pieces.

He finally pulled away and put his forehead on mine, smiling. I was panting, trying to get my breath, and I laughed, "That was-"

"Wow" he finished, pecking my lips one last time before pulling away to see my face better.

He still had one of his hands on my face and was softly brushing it on my cheekbone.
I moved my other hand up to his shoulder, close to where I already had one tangled in his hair.

"You're so perfect," He breathed. I laughed and tilted my head down to hide my blush, but he pulled me back up to look at him. He smiled, "Come on"

He grabbed my arms and turned, wrapping them around his neck and lifted me up, "Woah! Jas, what are you doing?"

He only smirked, "You might want to hold on." with that, he took off.
We were a blur as he sped through the forest before he stopped at a tree, "Ready?"

I was so dizzy I barely had time to ask a 'what?' before he launched us up the tree, climbing like a monkey.

We got close to the top where we could see for what seemed like miles, and he let me off, helping me sit down as my legs were now jelly, "Don't do that again."
