Oblivious Hearts (Teen Wolf boyxboy fanfic)

Chapter 12

{JACKSON'S POV}

I sat down in the living room of Lily's apartment as we sipped some coffee.  We were currently just waiting for Scott to regain consciousness, killing Scar took a lot out of him

"So, things have been a bit hectic since you came back" Lily smiled "but it sounds like you might have finally gotten the guy."  I looked over at Scott's unconscious figure with a small smile on my face but it quickly turned to a frown.

"It's my fault he got hurt though" I whispered leaning back in my seat.

"No one can be mad at you for that, you thought Scar was dead" Lily said in an attempt to ease my guilt.  I sighed as I looked at her over my coffee cup.

"Yeah, but it was my bad assumption that caused Scott to get hurt" I said with a pained look plastered on my face.

"Jackson, you focus too much attention on the negative stuff.  Why not look at the positive stuff for once, like I don't know, maybe the fact that Scott called you his mate" Lily complained.  I felt my mood lift at the mention of Scott calling me his mate, I never thought I'd hear that in a million years.

"I guess your right" I said trying to hold back a big grin, and then I saw Scott starting to stir "can you give me some time alone to talk to him?"  She gave me a corky look before setting her coffee on the table.

"Of course I'll give you guys some time alone, it's not like it's my apartment or anything" she joked "go ahead, I'm just going to go see what Danny's up to, maybe grab a burger."

"Thanks Lil" I smiled as she left out the front door.  I turned my attention back to Scott just in time to see him sit up.  I watched as his head spun around checking his surroundings until he caught my figure sitting on the chair beside the couch he was on.

"Jackson?" he said in a questioning tone before flashing his eyes to the floor.

"Morning sleepy head, it's about time you were up and around" I joked trying to add a light mood to the room but Scott just pulled his knees to his chest.

"Scar wanted to get to you, he wanted to kill you" Scott mumbled, his face was facing away from me.

"I see your talking to me now, but I guess I owe you a thanks" I smiled "Scar probably would have killed me if you hadn't stepped in."

"Probably?" Scott asked with an incredulous tone as his eyes flashed to mine.  I was a bit startled by the deep red of them even though I'd been expecting it.  Scott was now an alpha seeing as how he had killed one, that's how it works.

"Ok, probably isn't the right word.  How about definitely?" I said with a fun quizzing look and he let out a huff type laugh before looking away again.  

"You know everyone kept saying you were my mate, but I didn't want to believe them.  Not since you ditched us" he said the last part in a whisper as he got up and stood at the window overlooking the forest.

"I did it to save you and Lily, Scott" I explained raising to my feet as well but staying in my spot "you know as well as I do that if I hadn't gone with them, they would have killed all of us."  I watched him closely trying to guess his reaction but all I could see was his back.

"You hurt me Jackson, it shouldn't feel right to be your mate" Scott said softly and I flinched a bit at his words.  I looked at his muscular back and I suddenly had the urge to be daring.  I took the few steps forward until I was right behind Scott and wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my chin on his shoulder.

"Does this feel right?" I asked curiously, I was trying to get a reaction out of him.  I tensed in my grip and I heard his heart beat pick up and I knew he felt something.
