“What is it?” Stiles asks.
“Well, I didn’t want to say this in front of the entourage in case you don’t agree or you think I’m crazy…” Jackson smirks.
“You never have crazy ideas… that’s always me, remember?”
Jackson snorts. “Yeah, maybe… but there’s always a first time.”
“Okay, if you don’t tell me I can’t tell you if it’s crazy or not… just say it,” Stiles says, waving both arms.
Jackson sighs and nods. “Fine. I was thinking that the judge would accept it if I applied to be his guardian. I mean, as his lawyer, I can’t see how anybody would object to that. That way he wouldn’t be sent to a group home or to some other foster family that he’d probably run away from again.”
“You’re serious about this?” Stiles raises his eyebrows. “Okay, forget the question. Of course, you’re serious about this.”
Stiles takes three steps away from Jackson as he thinks and Jackson can see that that isn’t what he was expecting him to say. Stiles seems to be speechless… and his husband being speechless is kind of funny because that simply never happens.
“Stiles, it was just an idea, okay? And it’s temporary anyway. Until we can think of a better solution. But time is running out and we have to do something… Honestly, I just can’t think of anything better. I’m out of ideas right now and he’s got to sleep somewhere tonight, right? If you’ve got a better one, just tell me.” There is silence after that when Stiles still won’t say anything.
“You think it’s crazy? Is that it?” Jackson insists.
“No, I don’t think it’s crazy.” Stiles shakes his head and takes a few steps back until he’s standing in front of Jackson. “You just surprised me, that’s all.” Stiles rests his arms on Jackson’s shoulders, intertwining his fingers behind his neck. “Which is stupid because you have a such a big heart. I could have thought about it and I didn’t.”
“Well, we did agree to keep our lives and work separate, didn’t we?”
“True, but you know... rules are made to be broken, right? And this wouldn’t be the first time anyway.” Stiles smiles.”He needs to feel safe or he’ll run away again. And when you tell him what you are… he’ll see that he has nothing to be afraid of. He’ll see that we really want to help him.”
“That’s exactly what I thought.” Jackson smiles, holding Stiles’s hips tightly. “But I was afraid that your mind could explode or something.”
“I doubt that could ever happen.” Stiles shakes his head, his hazel eyes darkening. “I love how your mind works… It’s a flawless plan…” He moves closer until their bodies are touching and presses their foreheads together. “You’re flawless,” Stiles mutters before finding Jackson’s lips with his own.
The kiss is impossibly gentle but as Jackson circles his right arm around Stiles’s waist, anchoring him firmly, their mouths open and their tongues find each other, sliding together, enjoying the feeling until it gets hard to breath.
It never gets old. Stiles’s heart is pounding faster and Jackson loves that he can still do that to him. He cradles Stiles’s head with his left hand as he feels Stiles’s warm breath against his lips. “I love you too,” Jackson whispers before covering Stiles’s lips again.
Maybe it is rushed, and maybe it is crazy after all but the supernatural is supposed to be crazy and it doesn’t feel that way to them. It never has. So, maybe that’s why this doesn’t feel any different.
Maybe it’s why it doesn’t feel like a mistake.
Maybe that’s why it feels right.
