Impurities (Seth Clearwater)

XXIV

"Seth?"

"Huh? Uhh, yeah last time I checked - the one and only." He gave you the same boyish grin as he had always adorned, but this time there was a manlier aura around him that didn't give him the same boyish charms as before. 

He was bigger, well he always was bigger than you and most kids his age, but no this time he was Big. 

you noticed how much taller he had grown, the more defined his muscles became, how much broader his shoulders were, the way his face became more chiseled and his jawline became more prominent. It was weird it was like genuinely staring at a future Seth.

But before you could continue becoming enamored by his glow-up. You fixation became anger once more as you threw a left upper cut to his jaw making strong enough to make him fly back on to  the ground landing on his ass. 

"Agh- what the fuck, babe!?" he looked up at your figure stomping towards him fists clenched  to the side, he was ready for the next hit as your shadow loomed over his figure he closed his eyes and shielded his face bracing for impact but instead felt droplets on his cheek. 

Seth opened his eyes and uncovered his face looking up at you, at poor broken figure crying. Tears dropped onto his cheek as your lips were clenched between your teeth trying to not make a sound but small whimpers were escaping here and there. 

Your fists were clenched so tight that your nails were drawing blood from your palms. Seth no longer saw the strong, imprint he had always admired. He saw the small, frail girl he had broken and he knew it. And he hated himself for it. 

He slowly grabbed your hands and unclenched them ignoring the blood already spreading onto his, he intertwined your hands into his and slowly pulled you into his lap as you straddled his waist. 

Back then, he was bigger than you by an inch or two but now he felt giant with you in his lap, he could fully engulf you in his arms and you could disappear. 

Your arms wrapped around his neck and your head in the crook of his neck as you sobbed silently, he inhaled your scent missing every inch of you rubbing his hand up and down your back. 

"I'm sorry, Jae. I'm so fucking sorry." he gripped your hoodie and held onto you as if someone was readily going to rip you out of his arms. 

Both of you sat on the pavement under the night sky, embracing one another. 

You crinkled your nose feeling something tickle it, snuggling closer to the source of heat. 

Heat? 

You shot up, looking around your environment. You were back in your room, but from what you could recall from last night you were planning on going on a late-night drive but you were stopped by...

"ngh..." you heard a groan to your left. 

An all too familiar groan that you had wished it wasn't a dream. Looking down you find your tanned wolf-man sleeping soundly in your bed. "This fucker is sleeping like he has a 9-5" you grumbled under your breath before grabbing a pillow and whacking Seth harshly on the head waking him up 

"Ow! OW! Ok ok I'm up... I'M UP!" Seth yelled a bit louder before grabbing your wrists  to stop, you were breathing heavily. 

"Good morning, baby" 

"Don't you fucking good morning baby me you asshole" tears started welling up in your eyes once more "You left, you fucking left me, you left your mom and sister, the pack." 

"I know." 

"Do they know you're back?" 

"They?" 

"the pack- dipshit" 

"Oh...no not really. I came straight towards you when I left" 

"Where did you even go" 

"I went south...At first, I thought I was still in Washington. But, my legs didn't stop next thing I knew it I crossed a couple of state borders and ended up in Arizona where I stayed in the forest a-alone." 

you stared at him as he played with his fingers frowning slightly "...you weren't alone. Who were you with?"

"N-no one honestly" 

"So now you're lying to me?" 

"Huh," his eyes shifted anywhere in the room except meeting my own "I'm not lying though-"

"I can practically feel your heart racing all the way here." 

You sighed, giving up any other attempts to make him confess "Just tell me when you are ready then." 

"Dick," you mumbled under your breath just enough for him to hear suddenly you hear the front door banging, you knew who it was, Seth knew who it was.  

The pack was here. 

Seth was kneeling on the ground outside in the grass with his head hung low surrounded by the pack Sam and Leah stood in the forefront of him as you stood next to Paul with your arms crossed expressing just as much annoyance as the rest of them. 

After Sam and Leah took turns lecturing and berating the hell out of Seth who kneeled there pouting like a sad little puppy. He nodded in understanding mumbling "Yes sir/ma'am" and "No sir/ma'am". There was a small brief moment of silence that fell among the group. Before Sam continued...

"Ok, Emily do it." 

bzzzzttttttt- 

the sound of a razor made Seth flinch and made him flinch once more when he felt the cold metal touch his head buzzing off the long locks, this made you feel kind of bad the long hair was growing on you a lot. 

"psst Emily-" 

she looked up at you "Not too short for me?" 

She just laughed and winked at you and eased up on the buzz. 

"You know you're gonna have to double up on shifts, giving the others their well needed vacation" 

"yes sir" 

"and you do know you have to go back to school" 

"yes ma'am" 

"and you know you still have to talk to my dad, right?" 

"...."
