Jacob Black | You

It's late one night, close to midnight, and a storm was brewing outside. Jacob still wasn't back from patrol just yet, but he should be home soon. You were just wanting to cuddle up in his arms and talk about his day, one of your favorite things.

Finally, the wolf appears in the doorway of his home, finding you sitting on the couch, reading a book in the dim lighting. Upon seeing him, you set the book down and stand up, walking over to him with a smile.

"What are you still doing up, baby?" He wonders, resting his hands on your waist. You shrug in response, your head falling on his chest.

"I could hear the thunder coming in and I knew I most likely wouldn't be able to sleep anyways."

"Yeah, that storm's just about to hit, we were able to outrun the downpour on our way out, but it's coming. Why don't you go get ready for bed and I'll be in there in a few?" You nod and give him one more kiss before walking to his room.

After changing into a t-shirt of Jacob's and a pair of shorts, you crawl under the covers and look out the window right next to the bed. The trees were wavering in the oncoming wind, and you could tell the storm was going to be big.

Jacob soon returns, his hair and body slightly wet from the quick shower he took, though it was more like a quick rinse.

"Paul was wondering if we'd like to go to the beach with him and my sister this weekend," Jacob says, sliding under the covers and immediately pulling you into his arms.

"That'd be nice. I haven't seen him in a while, and it'll be nice to finally meet your sister."

"Oh yeah, I forget you guys haven't met yet," he laughs, his hand running up and down your back softly. He stares out the window, the storm finally hitting the small house. Thunder and lightning filled the silent room.

Jacob says nothing for a while, just staring outside, his mind racing with so many thoughts. Tonight, he was reminded of the girl he used to love, thanks to Sam. A girl who loved him back, but not enough to leave what she was pining after.

"Do you remember that story I told you about? With the tribe's history and who we hunt?" He asks you after a few minutes. You glance up at him, wondering what brought him to ask about it again.

"Yeah, why?"

"You know the cold ones, the ones we hunt?"

"Jake, what's this all about?"

"Would you ever leave me for someone like that?" You are stunned silent. You didn't know much about his past relationships, all you did know was that Bella was the girl he loved and she didn't want him.

"What?" You sit up, staring down at him. He doesn't meet your eyes, keeping them pinned on the window, watching the rain and lightning.

"Would you ever leave me for a vampire? Someone who doesn't age, who has perfect, marble-cool skin, who you could spend all of eternity with?"

"Why are you asking this?" You question. Jacob shakes his head, eyes falling closed as you lay back down beside him, grabbing his left hand.

Your fingers dance along his palm, tracing each finger with yours, drawing random shapes into his skin.

"Jacob, I would never choose a vampire over you, let alone leave you for someone else. Werewolves are superior to vampires anyways. They're dead, they're cold, they always look like they're in pain. You, on the other hand, are always so damn warm, you're like my own personal space heater. And your skin is so soft and comforting, and the best part, you're alive. We can go out to restaurants for dates because you can actually eat, unlike them."

Jacob finally meets your eyes, and it feels like a spark goes off. His eyes bore into yours so deeply, as if his soul was looking into yours. It wasn't a stare you've seen from him before, and you could feel something inside of you bursting and catching fire.

"You," he whispers. "It's you."

"What?" Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He suddenly sits up and runs his hands through his short hair.

"Do you also remember what I told you about Sam and Emily? How he imprinted on her?"

"Yeah. You know, you're asking a lot of questions about things you've told me regarding the tribe and its history," you chuckle. Jacob shakes his head and pulls you to sit up with him.

"I've just, I've realized a lot. And just now, I imprinted on you."

"You did? Wait, so what does this mean?" You couldn't help but feel slightly anxious. You knew the basic idea of imprinting, but was there anything you needed to do? Anything that needed to happen? What was going to happen now?

"When I looked at you, after you ranted about how awful being with a vampire would be," he pauses to chuckle, "I felt this overwhelming feeling. Everything else in the world disappeared. I only thought about you. I forgot that my dad is in the room down the hall, I forgot that I am even a part of a pack, the only person that mattered in that moment was you. And now, I want to do everything in my power to protect you and make sure you're safe, especially from those bloodsuckers."

"Jake, I don't know...I don't know what to say, what to think, what to do." He smiles thoughtfully and caresses your cheek.

"You don't have to say anything, baby. There's nothing else to do, or anything that can be done. Unless you...want to reject it, which isn't-"

"No, no, I don't want to do that. But you know this is all new to me. I'm just not really sure what's to be expected from me." Jacob leans forward, nuzzling his nose against yours.

"All you have to do is love me back, and never leave me. What's done is done, we're bonded for the rest of our lives now." A smile breaks out into your face and you tackle him in a hug, making him fall onto his back.

"I mean, that sounds good to me," you giggle, kissing him sweetly. Just then, a loud burst of thunder rumbled the house, but neither of you moved, too caught up in one another's lips.

"I know this is all kind of weird and odd to you, but I am so happy that you're accepting of it all."

"I love you so much Jacob, I'll go through anything to be with you," you whisper. His hand, that wasn't around you, cradles your cheek, his thumb gently rubbing your cheekbone.

"And I love you. I will until my heart stops beating."
