Solar Eclipse [Seth Clearwater]

0.06

Over the next hour, I have gone back up to my room, taken a shower and gotten changed into a pair of skinny jeans and a dark blue turtleneck sweater. Seth had taken it upon himself to clean my room for me, so, when I came walking back in from the shower, I found Seth putting some books back on my desk that I had knocked over.

"You didn't have to do that." I tease, actually kind of relieved that I don't have to clean up my room now. I sit down on my bed while I brush my curls out.

He turns to me, smiling yet again, "It wasn't a problem." I roll my eyes playfully and Seth sits down next to me. "So Quil was in your head when you phased?" He asks curiously and I nod, laughing quietly to myself at the idea of him constantly being in my head now.

"Yea... That was weird." I smile looking up at Seth while setting the brush to the side. "You guys can't hear my thoughts right now, right?"

Seth laughs and shakes his head, "No, don't worry. Only when you're a wolf. And even then it's not as bad as it sounds. It gets kinda fun when you get used to it." He muses, taking a piece of my hair and absentmindedly twirling it between his fingers.

I smile again, he's so... Optimistic about everything. "So Sam and all of those guys can't hear my thoughts, right? Cause they're not in my Dad's pack." I ask, praying that I won't have to deal with Paul in my head all the time.

That would be a nightmare.

"Nope." Seth says popping the 'p', I laugh at that and lean into his side, enjoying the heat that radiates off of him. It's comforting in a way that I can't put into words. He just... Is like a security blanket or something. It sounds silly but I feel like having him around makes everything seem possible.

We both fall into a comfortable silence after that and I find myself snuggling into his side. Seth wraps one of his arms around me and he rests his cheeks against my hair. Everything feels so... right.

Mom peeks her head in my doorway after what seems like a few minutes and smiles. "We're leaving now." She starts then looks over to Seth somewhat sternly, "You're driving Coral. Don't take too long." She winks and just like that she's gone.

Seth and I share a look of pure confusion before falling into a fit of laughter at my mother's antics. "We should get going then." I suggest quietly as I stand up and stretch my arms over my head, the joints in my shoulder cracking in the process.

Seth stands up after me, taking my hand after I stretch and walks downstairs. When we arrive in the kitchen, he grabs the keys to the black jeep and I quickly follow him out to the garage. "Slow down, my legs aren't as long as yours!" I exclaim glaring playfully at him when he looks over his shoulder at me.

"Not my fault you're short." He teases as he unlocks the jeep and gets in the driver's seat, turning on the car as I pull on my seatbelt. On the way there, Seth laces our fingers together and I feel myself smiling, almost contagiously, at the tingles running through me at his touch.

When we arrive at Sam and Emily's house, I can hear the hoots and hollers of the boys before we finish parking the car. Before Seth has a chance to turn the car off Embry, Quil and Brady all come piling out looking excited as ever.

Seth turns the car off and both of us let out simultaneous sighs as we watch the three boys gather around the car, hollering something about babies. I turn and look to Seth who smiles encouragingly, "Let's give 'em hell." He teases, using the same line I used on him almost a week ago.

I nod, feeling my lips curl into a smile and turn, pulling the door of the jeep open. Quil lets out a loud laugh, picking me up as I step out of the jeep and spins me around. "Get out of my head Quil!" He taunts, laughing while he does so and proceeds to pull me into one of the tightest hugs I've ever been given.

"Oh my god your babies are going to be so much attractive." Brady states, pulling me out of Quil's grasp and pushing me next to Seth so he can inspect us both. Quil and Embry join Brady, standing a couple feet back as the three look like they're in deep thought. "Her eyes and figure with his nose..." Brady trails off and I look up to Seth who looks ready to laugh at any second.

"Oh and her hair too. But Seth's innocence matched with her sarcasm. I can see it now." Quil says, stretching his arms in front of him as if he were gesturing to the child that isn't there.

Sam walks out, followed by Jared, saving me from my mortification as he playfully scolds the trio for teasing Seth and I. "All of you, inside. Emily wants to start the bonfire." Sam orders, and Brady salutes to him before making his way back inside but not before winking at Seth and I.

The others follow in suit and Seth and I trail behind, entering the house only to be ambushed with hugs by Emily, Kim and Aunt Rachel. "Oh I'm so happy for you two! This is going to be so much fun! You're wedding is going to be so much fun to plan!" Emily gushes loudly making me blush.

"Ugh she's just so adorable isn't she? I can't wait to see your guys babies!" Kim sings as the other girls giggle at the silly comment.

I look over Kim's shoulder to see Seth getting teased by the boys, he peeks over his shoulder and smiles kindly at me before turning back to his conversation with Paul and Jared.

Aunt Rachel laughs, gently separating me from Kim's death grip of a hug, "Okay I think that's enough for one day. We've gotta get the bonfire started!" She teases, winking at me as Emily and Kim rush outside to finish getting the bonfire ready.

Just as I go to catch my breath, Quil lifts me off the ground from behind and spins me around. "Girl we are on patrol together!" He yells excitedly, just before Sam abruptly cuts in.

"Actually she's with Seth. Jake thinks you're going to rile her up." He laughs and Quil opens and closes his mouth, clearly dumbfounded with the news.

"Me? Rile Coral up? Never." Quil sarcastically says, earning another loud chuckle from Sam.

I look up at Quil, who sighs and looks down at me, "Sorry kiddo. Guess your new hubby gets you." He sighs dramatically, "Imprints." He rolls his eyes, "Poor Claire. This is too much drama." He teases and Seth walks over.

"Emily wants everyone outside." Seth says softly, allowing Quil to waltz outside, quickly jumping in another conversation with Embry and Brady. As we start to follow, Seth reminds me, "We've got patrol together tomorrow."

I mean it can't be that bad, can it?
