Casting his eyes over to the clock on the wall every now and then, praying and wishing that the time would hurry up so that he can hurry up and end his shift at the general store and go partying with his friends at a house party that another one of their friends had organised. Seth could feel his excitement boiling in him as he watched the clock tick.

Seth could feel himself growling every time he looked over at the clock, slightly scaring the customers that would walk up to his cash register to get their items scanned. Seth would then look at them apologizing for having scared them, but he was luckily that the customers understood his eagerness to get out of this place and go partying with his friends. Throughout the whole day he watched as people came and went through the sliding doors, getting multiple things only for them to return five minutes later saying that they had forgotten something, and repeated that action till they finally never returned again or they sent someone else to get the stuff that the first guy had forgotten. All in all, Seth was slightly amused by the people who lived in Forks and La Push, as their true antics came to life.

So Seth was amused for most of the day, but he still growled every time as he looked over at the clock, praying that it was now five minutes till he finished, only realising that he still had about thirty minutes to go before he was able to leave this place. Sighing in dismay, Seth slouched where he stood, the look of utter defeat heavy in his eyes as he waited for the clock to tick by.

Looking up at the sound of the door dinging, signalling that a customer has walked in, Seth's face was in total shock as he watched his boyfriend, his best friend and another of his friend, come walking in looking as happy as all hell, laughing their heads off as they walked pass Seth's register and headed for where the soft drinks were. Seth looked at them, saddened that they were already having a good time and he was nowhere close to even finishing his shift.

Seth looked back up as he watched the group walk over to his register, still chatting away as though he wasn't even there, handing him the money and receiving the change back, they started walking for the sliding doors once again, and exited.

Though Seth was a little shocked to watch as Jacob turned back around, walked back into the store and over to Seth's register station, leaned over, softly grabbed Seth's chin and pulled the boy's face towards his and planted his lips against Seth's in a chaste kiss. Seth leaned into the kiss, wanting more of Jacob's soft lips pressed against his, and just when Seth went to grasp Jacob's head with his hands, Jacob pulled away. Leaving Seth to watch as the male walked away without looking back.

Seth's mind was a blank as he stared at the sliding doors, shock evident on his face as he continued to stare at the entrance. It wasn't till someone cleared their throat, did he finally snap back to reality. Looking at the person who had cleared their throat, Seth was quite shocked to see that a small line had built up at his register.

"Sorry… How are you today?" Seth apologized and started to scan the items being placed on the belt, trying to stay in the conversation for as long as he could. But his mind was going a mile a minute as he thought about why it was that Jacob had done that.

"That boy is a lovely man Seth…" Seth looked up; eyes trained on the elderly woman as she rested her hand on his, "Don't let him go. He'll be good for you later on down the track" and with that, the elderly woman walked away, leaving a blushing Seth back at the register, not believe that that woman had been watching him practically make out with his boyfriend in public.

"Hi how's it going…" and with that, Seth continued on with his shift, his mind going a thousand kilometres away from where he was right now.

xXxXxXx

As Seth finally escaped from that hell hole he called work, the young male made his way to his car and drove off in the direction of his home.

As the boy drove home, he could feel his excitement bursting through him as he waited with anticipation on the party that was soon to come, but he couldn't wait even more to be wrapped up in Jacob's strong arms as the both party and dance the night away as the year finally come to an end and a new year comes around the corner.

Seth could still remember to this day what happened two days after the New Year. A fond smile formed on his lips as he repeated what transpired that day, the day that made his and Jacob's world become one as the two finally confessed their dying love for one another.

Flash Back

It was the morning after the New Year; all the party goers have already left the place, which was surprisingly clean after the party that transpired in that home. The sun's rays were streaming in through the windows, the blinds having been left drawn open all day for the last two days, bathing the house in its warm glow.

Only two souls occupied that house at the moment, both lying in the bedroom upstairs, sharing the same bed. The room was quiet, only the sound of even breath could be heard in the room, the window slightly opened, allowing a gentle breeze to waft in and bath the two bodies that lay on the bed. One with a bigger build than the other lies on his back, an arm resting beside him while the other rested under the other pillow that the smaller male's head rested on, a knee bent and the other lying straight.

The bigger male stirred from his slumber, the sun's rays resting on his face, causing the male to flinch from the sun's ray before his eyes slowly started to open, revealing two sets of warm droopy brown eyes. The, now, awaken male laid there for a moment his body slowly waking up as he started to recall what happened the night before. Going to stretch his arms, he realised that there was now a weight on his arm.

Turning his head to the side, the bigger male, found it to be the smaller male lying, sitting up on his trapped arm, the other male's attention was captured by the smaller male's beauty as he laid there; even breath's escaping him as his chest rose and fell. The awakened male allowed his eyes to shamelessly travel of the smaller male's body, basking in the beauty that the male held hidden from everyone else. Realising what he was doing, the older male stopped himself and rested back as he stared up at the ceiling, chastising himself about what he was doing.

But as the man continued to scold himself, another bit of him slowly started to awaken and soon his thoughts turned back to the smaller male's figure, his chest bare as he lay with the blanket resting at his hips.

Taking his original position, the male allowed his eyes to travel one more time, marvelling in wonder and awe at how a male could hold so much beauty within him inside and out. the male looked at the younger males face, praying that the male was still asleep before cautiously raising his hand and ghosting it over the bronze skin that was so much like his own, before finally lightly brushing his hand over the bare skin, basking in the feel of the smaller males warmth as he ran his hand up and down the males arm, till he came to the younger males hand, gently, almost ghostly, sliding his fingers between the younger males own before retracting the hand and lying back down.

A minute passed before he looked back over at the younger male, seeing that boy still did not stir from his slumber. Once again, the older male cautiously placed his hand on the younger males, gently running his fingers along the boy's arm before coming to the male's hip, looking at the younger male's face; he saw that the boy was still asleep. Grabbing hold of the blanket, the older male pulled the blanket away, revealing that the boy was only wearing underwear as he slept.

The man's breath hitched as he saw this, realising that he had been sleeping with the boy who slept in his underwear throughout the whole night. Looking up one more time the other male found the boy to still be sleeping before his hand started to wonder south. His hand tracing the outline of the boy's soft member, the man allowed his hand to softly grab hold of the boy's member, giving it a gentle squeeze. Marvelling in the fact that the younger males member held nicely in his hand.

But before he could marvel some more, he had to retract quickly, for the younger male stirred in his sleep. Pretending to be asleep himself, the man waiting a minute or so before looking back over and finding the boy had leaned back a little, allowing his body to be seen clearer.

Taking the same position one more time, the older male ran his hand over the younger males shoulder, running his hand up and down the limb before softly running his hand down to the boys chest feeling the boy's soft skin against his calluses hands, loving the feel of the two different skin rubbing against one another, before allowing his hand to travel down more, running his hand over every nook and cranny, till he finally reached the boy's underwear one more time. Looking up at the boy's face, he saw that the younger male was still asleep, before looking back down and allowing his hand to travel underneath the clothing, and grasping hold of the younger male's member in his hand.

Looking back up, his heart skipped a bit, as he came face to face with the younger boy, his eyes wide open. But it seemed that something swirled within the boy's chocolate brown eyes, "Jacob?!" the boy called, causing Jacob's breath to hitch in his throat as he tried to swallow the sudden lump that formed in his throat.

"Yes…?" Jacob asked, his heart beating a mile a minute, his could feel himself breaking into a sweat as he continued to stare into the younger boy's eyes. 'Shit' running through his head like a mantra, as he waited for the younger boy to continue talking and scold him for having touched him. It was only then, he realised that his hand was still down the younger boy's underwear. Going to retreat it, his hand was held in position, looking down he saw that the younger boy's hand was wrapped securely around his wrist. "Seth?"

The boy, Seth, looked at Jacob with a blank look; causing Jacob's heart to beat even faster, if that was even possible. Silence fell upon the two male's as they stared at each other, waiting for the other to say the first word or make the first move. But it was futile, neither male moved. Jacob was too busy trapped in his own mantra he was too afraid to do anything, and with Seth's blank face staring at him intently, Jacob felt like he was paralysed just by Seth's look alone.

"Jacob?" Seth said, finally cutting the silence, but that still didn't help Jacob's beating heart rate. "If you want to do something…" Seth continued, looking away, breaking that intent look, as a flush came to his cheeks, causing Jacob's breath to catch in his throat one more time. "You can, if you want to"

With that, Seth looked back at Jacob and without a moment's hesitation, he pressed his lips against the stunned males own ones. It wasn't till Seth allowed his tongue to slip between his lips and brush up against Jacob's own ones. With that Jacob, was finally able to gain his senses and returned the kiss. His hand slipping out of Seth's hold gently to come up and lightly press his hand against Seth's in a loving matter, as though the two have done this multiply times before hand.

The two broke apart deciding that they both needed air to survive. The two stared at each other one more time, seeing if there was any hesitation from the other person, both wanting to know if the other was ready to be involved with the other as boyfriends, then lovers then husband.

And with no indication of either hesitating from this, Jacob smiled at Seth and caressed his face lovingly. "Are you ready for this?" he asked, his hand coming down the boy's face, his neck, his shoulder down to the boy's hand and entwining the two hands and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"As ready as I'll ever be" Seth replied, a gentle smile coming to his lips as he returned the squeeze in his hand and waited for Jacob to press his lips against his one more time.

xXxXxXx

Music was blaring, the time was eleven and the house was alive with chatter and laughter as the clock ticked its minutes away as it drew closer and closer to the hour of midnight. People were pressed up against each other, armed wrapped around shoulders as words were shared in loud tones or soft whispers. People were everywhere there was space in the house, some even staying outside to get some air or to cool down from the body heat gathering within the house.

Seth was one of those people that stood outside with some of his friends, laughing and joking as they watched a game of beer pong being played. Every so often the group would cheer as one of the players scored, and then would 'aww' at the guy that had to drink. It was a close match between the two, and you could see the alcohol had already taken effect on the two players.

Seth continued to watch and chat, his eyes glancing from his friends to the person on the other side of the table, surrounded by a bunch of guys and a few girls. Seth watched in humour as one of the girls tried to crack on the guy, that Seth has been glancing at, in her drunken state, only to be redirected to someone else, to whom, Seth didn't know for he didn't know half of these people here at this party.

Glancing down at his cup, he found it to be empty, and excused himself from the small group to go and refill his cup.

Upon entering the kitchen, he found it to be… quite a mess. People occupied chairs, the table and even the counter. Only one spot was clear, and that was where the most mess was accumulating. Sighing in humour and pity for the person who was hosting this party, Seth made his way to that particular bench and started making his drink, knowing to be careful not to mix his drinks.

Seth didn't jump at all as he felt two pairs of arms wrap around his waist as a hard body pressed against his, forcing it to be pushed against the messy bench. "Jacob… Stop, you'll get my shirt wet" Seth giggled, putting force as he pushed away from the bench, only to be pushed back against it. "Jacob?!"

Seth turned around, worried as to why it was that Jacob was acting like this, only to come to realise, that it wasn't Jacob that was pushing up against him, it was someone else, someone that Seth has never met before.

"…I…" Seth was stunned as he stared at the clearly drunken random standing before him; Seth could see the guy had difficultly just standing up, watching as the person swayed from side to side, his eyes unfocused and hazy. "Are you okay?" Seth asked, concerned for the wellbeing of this person.

"…." The guy didn't answer, instead be moved forward, his arms out stretched as he went to trap Seth within his arms.

"Hey. Hey dude, I'm not the guy you're looking for or whatever…" Seth said, trying to push the guy away, but it was futile. He might as well have been pushing against a wall, a moving wall at that, as Seth was being continued to be pushed back till his butt hit the bench and he back started to arch. "Dude, I'm not the guy you're looking for, I'm already taken" Seth said, pulling the necklace that Jacob had gotten him for Christmas as his eyes scanned the crowd of people trying to look for someone that would help him out of this predicament.

But no one in the kitchen looked familiar to him, and he started to panic, scared that someone else was about to get onto him other than Jacob, for he only wanted to be touched, caressed, kissed make love to, all with only Jacob. Seth had to close his eyes as his back hit the wet bench and the guy was still moving forward, the dude's lips pursed and ready to kiss Seth.

Just when Seth was about to feel the breath of the random guys against his skin, the foul stench of heavy drinking wafting over his face and into his nostrils, Seth had to stop himself from throwing up just from the foul smell itself. But the lips never came and everything seemed to happen so fast, Seth didn't know what happened.

All he can see now is Jacob's back facing him as he stood before Seth, protecting him from the guys view as he waited for the guy to realise what just happened. Seth peeked over Jacob's shoulder, wanting to see what was happening, only to see the random dude was now making out with the girl from before. Seth was stunned, realising why it was that the guy thought he was the girl from before, because the girl looked a bit like him. That or the guy was really intoxicated that he didn't even realise who was who.

"Come on" Jacob said, grabbing hold of Seth's hand and stared to pull the stunned boy away from the crowd, heading in the direction of the stairs, and into one of the rooms. "Are you okay?" Jacob asked, softly pushing Seth down on the bed and kneeling before him with a concerned look on his face as he waited for Seth to reply to his question.

Seth looked at Jacob for a moment, wondering himself if he was okay. But it didn't take long before Seth was smiling, happy that he has been tainted by anyone else, other than Jacob. "Yeah, I'm okay" he said, smiling as he moved forward and closed the gap between the two and pressed his lips against Jacob's own; loving the feel of Jacob's plump lips pressed against his own and his hands coming up and wrapping lightly around his neck. As the two pulled apart, Seth squirmed at the sudden uncomfortable feeling.

"What's wrong?" Jacob asked, concerned and confused as to why it was that Seth was not wriggling in his spot and why he was suddenly taking his shirt off and tossing it to the other end of the room like it was on fire or something. Jacob had followed where the shirt had landed before looking back at Seth with a raised eyebrow in confusion. "Uhh… Care to explain, why my boyfriend is stripping his shirt off" Jacob asked, moving back as Seth got up from his seat and started to undo his pants.

"Because, that asshole pushed me up against the only bench that was free, and the only reason that is, is because it had alcohol spilt all over it, and because of that, it seeped through my shirt and pants" and with that, Seth shimmed out of his pants and kicked them to the side, sighing in relief as the wet clothes bothered him no more. "So, that is why your boyfriend is stripping out of his clothes"

Seth moved from standing in front of Jacob and walked towards the window and opening it to allow a breeze to waft through and circulate around the room. After that, Seth moved to look at shelves and all the books, cd cases and knickknacks the person has accumulated, and was surprised by the wide range of things. Moving on to the CD player, Seth looked at it, before pushing a button and turning it on, causing the sound of a piano to waft through the room. Seth closed his eyes, and started to move with the music, the sound of the piano and the feel of the breeze moved his body to their will.

All the while, Jacob watched from the bed as Seth moved about the room, his steps light and never straying for a second longer before moving to the next step, his body moving as the gentle notes from the piano and the gentle breeze from the air controlled his body, moving it to their will. Jacob was just entranced by the sudden difference in Seth's movements, from here to how the body danced downstairs before exiting outside.

Seth was lost in the music, loving the feel of the cool breeze cooling his heated body down as the piano started making him more relaxed and carefree. So Seth was quite shocked and jumped a little as he felt warm arms wrap around his waist, thought a second later, Seth was falling back into those arms as they embraced him and held him against the warm body that stood behind Seth. Turning around in the arms, Seth looked up at Jacob, a carefree smile on his face as he stared at the man that he has loved for more than the years that have passed when they first got together.

The two swayed to the music, content with being in each other's warming embrace as they waited for the clock to strike twelve, meaning the start of a new year and new beginnings.
