Unexpected Turn of Events

Chapter 2: Coming Clean

"The sine is opposite over hypotenuse, the cosine is..." The teacher muttered in his usual monochromatic tone, as he continued his lesson on sine, cosine, and tangent. Aiden wasn't even trying to pay attention because he was too busy trying to keep his wolf in check because his mate was only a seat in front of him and it was driving him insane. God help me now if I don't grow a conscience because I want to have Scott mount me right here, Aiden thought as he adjusted his "problem" for the thousandth time. He wasn't sure how to tell Scott that he is his mate because quite frankly that just doesn't seem like a good conversation starter. Suddenly Aiden felt a familiar warming sensation he felt when Scott touched him earlier. "Aiden, pst, hey Mr. Schmidt asked you a question," Scott whispered as he placed his hand over Aiden's and giving him his best Scotty smile, where his mouth parted and you can see the top set of his pearly whites. Aiden's heart constricted so tight in his chest, it felt as though he suddenly forgot how to breathe. Quickly turning his attention to Mr. Schmidt Aiden answered, "Uh sorry Mr. Schmidt I dozed off. Can you repeat the question please?" Mr. Schmidt gave him a rather stern look and briefly chastised him for being distracted before repeating his question, "The question is, What does the Tangent equal? Opposite over hypotenuse, adjacent over hypotenuse, or opposite over adjacent?" Aiden quickly ran over the SOHCAHTOA method in his head before answering, "The tangent is opposite over adjacent." Giving him one last glare, Mr. Schmidt resumed his lecture on the board. Aiden let out a quick sigh of relief. That was close, he thought as he absentmindedly returned to staring at the back of Scott's head like a love struck school girl. The rest of the period flew by in a blur and so did the rest of the day, seeing as how Aiden attended his classes but didn't pay attention to any of them. Finally, Aiden thought as he approached his locker as soon as the dismissal bell rang. While retrieving his physics book, Aiden noticed Scott approach him with his signature goofy grin already in place. "Hey Aiden," Scott greeted him cheerfully. "Hey Scott. You ready for training?" Aiden replied as he zipped up his book bag. Scott's grin seemed to crack just a bit, but before Aiden could say anything Scott immediately cleared his throat and said, "I'm as ready as I will ever be. Hey you mind giving me a ride? My bike broke down and I had Stiles give me a lift to school with him and Lydia. That was awkward as hell and I would greatly appreciate it if you could spare me the torture of being the third-wheel." Scott shot Aiden his best puppy dog look and damn if Aiden didn't drop everything and hug Scott right there. "Sure, I can give you a ride dude. I only have one helmet though," Aiden replied, his wolf scratching its way to the surface. Aiden and Scott quickly walked out the double doors and to Aiden's black speed bike. Aiden straddled his bike in his usual manner, dawning on his black leather gloves; suddenly realizing that Scott was still standing there like a fascinated twelve year old on Christmas he grinned his usual arrogant smirk as he called, "Hop on babe and I'll show you how he drives." Scott's face turned a crimson shade of red and he quickly jumped on Aiden's bike, his face blushing even harder as he wrapped his slender but firm arms around Aiden. "Dude, I am the Alpha here, remember?" Scott remarked as Aiden started his bike. Aiden quickly turned over his shoulder and whispered directly into Scott's ear, "You maybe an Alpha in the streets, but Scott I'M the Alpha in the sheets." After giving Scott a quick wink, Aiden turned back around and sped out of the parking lot of Beacon Hills High.

Scott's grip tightened around Aiden as the two sped past Beacon Hills Memorial. Out of nowhere, Scott had a sudden urge to sniff Aiden so he did. Oh my God Aiden smells so amazing! His scent consists of warm sunshine with a hint of ocean breeze, Scott found it to be alluring. Scott felt Aiden stiffen beneath his grip, "Did you just sniff me Scott?" Aiden called back as they rounded the street near Scott's house. Scott's face burned a thousand times redder than it ever has in his entire life including the time his mom walked in during "Scott time"; he knew he was busted and that there would be no point in lying especially since they both are werewolves. "I couldn't resist dude you smell absolutely amazing," Scott muffled through Aiden's back. He knew Aiden heard every word because he felt Aiden's back vibrate erratically; Aiden was laughing at Scott's comment but he was not doing it out of malice, he was genuinely floored by Scott's very "open" compliment. "Thanks. It's Suave: Ocean Breeze, I love the beach and showering with it reminds me of it. The way the sun would make the ocean glisten like thousands of diamonds, the sweet aroma of the salty air ruffling your hair, and my personal favorite the breathtaking view of the setting sun. The burning orange clinging desperately as the sky fades into a pink and purplish blue, until it recedes into an overwhelming deep blue that blankets the earth in the sun's absence," Aiden rambled not realizing that Scott was staring at him in awe. Wow, Scott thought to himself. Aiden is truly deep, I mean I can't believe this is the same guy who could do all those terrible things that he and Ethan did. Maybe I was wrong to label him as the bad guy because there is no way such a deep and passionate guy could ever be so evil, cruel, and malicious. Scott was so deep in thought that he didn't feel the bike stop. The pair were in front of a familiar blue vinal house, with average size windows; if it wasn't for the recent remodeling done, courtesy of Deaton, the young wolves would have thought it to be another dull house amongst countless others. Aiden put the kickstand down and removed his helmet, ruffling his hair as he did so. Scott quickly flung himself off the bike and onto the concrete driveway, his heavy black boots landing with a loud thud. "So...do you want to start training right away?" Scott asked hesitantly as he unlocked the worn oak front door of the house, giving his boots a quick clean on the doormat in the process. Aiden was staring at Scott's grey biker jacket as it hugged itself tightly around the younger wolf, making his slender shoulders more pronounced. He is absolutely breathtaking, Aiden thought as he hopped off his bike and followed Scott into the house, making sure to clean off his shoes as well. The McCall household was simple and charming, the walls were littered with photos of Scott as a kid all of which contained only Scott and his mom. "Where happened to your dad?" Aiden asked while grabbing the picture on the wall that showed a child Scott sitting on the lap of a muscular man with toned arms. The man's hair was raven black like Scott and he had the same tan skin tone, but what really captured Aiden's attention was the man's eyes. The brown orbs were lifeless, and completely void of any happiness. Aiden shuttered as he placed the picture back into position on the wall.

"He left my mom and me when I was seven," Scott replied as he strolled up from behind Aiden with two sodas in hand. "I don't really remember him all that much. After that picture was taken," Scott began his eyes lingering on the one Aiden had just put back, "he left. I knew from the way that he and mom would argue that it was bound to happen sometime. It's just..." Scott paused, tears started to well up in the brim of his eyes. Fuck it, Aiden thought as he wrapped his arms around Scott embracing the smaller teen in a comforting hug.

"I'm sorry Scott, I didn't mean to make you upset," Aiden started gently trying to comfort the younger wolf. Aiden's wolf was spastic at this point because here his mate is hurting because of something that Aiden did; unintentional or not Aiden felt terrible. Scott couldn't fight it, even though his dad left ten years ago there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't think about his dad. Scott allowed his tears to stream freely down his face and he buried his head into Aiden's broad warm chest. Aiden simply held Scott, allowing Scott time to decompress because lord knows that no one as kind and as beautiful as Scott deserves to carry this pain. Scott sniffled, he hates showing his emotion because he doesn't like people seeing him weak. Scott's mom rarely ever sees Scott cry and here Scott is balling like a baby into freaking Aiden, a former Alpha for Christ sake! "You probably think I am a baby," Scott whispered in a voice so low that it would be inaudible to the normal human ear, but Aiden heard it clearly. "I normally don't break down like this I swear. I just have been sore about my break-up with Allison and then Stiles barely makes time for me because he finally has a girlfriend. I'm happy for him and all, but I've been so lonely lately," Scott continued, still not looking Aiden in the eyes. Aiden, who had remained silent for this whole time, immediately moved his right hand to Scott's chin and lifted Scott's face to his. "Scott," Aiden spoke gently in a soothing tone so as to avoid upsetting Scott "you are not a baby, I know that for a fact. You are the furthest thing away from a baby; you're a courageous and compassionate guy who is so busy trying to solve everyone else's problems that you barely make time to deal with your own. I admire that about you Scott, your undying loyalty to your pack, the way you throw yourself in harms way to protect the innocent," Aiden continued as he began to slowly lower his face to Scott's, the younger teen's heart rate had slowed down considerably and matched Aiden's. Time seemed to stop completely as the two wolves stared lovingly into each other's eyes, their lips were millimeters apart. "Aiden," Scott breathed finally, his voice controlled and yet pleading at the same time. Too late to back out now, Aiden thought to himself as he pressed his lips to Scott's.
