In this world Alice doesn't exist.

I like dogs.

Seth Clearwater/Jasper Hale

Seth stomped through the mud path leading to the Cullen's house. Normally werewolves couldn't stand the smell of vampires but ever since imprinting on one, the guy had grown to actually like it. He rang the doorbell twice, and thunder sounded above, not a good sign. He could see the lights in the Cullen house flicker on and he sighed with relief as the doorknob rattled and the door opened.

Jasper smiled at the wet Seth and moved aside to let him come in. Seth couldn't hear any other movement in the house.

"Where are the rest?"

"Edward and Emmett have gone out of the state hunting, Carlisle and Esme are in Iceland, and Alice and Rosalie have gone on a shopping trip to Milan."

"So, everyone's out of Forks?" Seth took off his jacket making to put it on the sofa but Jasper took it from him instead, draping it over his shoulder to get it out of the way.

"Which leaves just us both here." Jasper took Seth by the wrist and led him to the fireplace to dry whatever his own hot werewolf skin hadn't. Seth shuddered at the touch, he hadn't gotten used to his icy skin yet. He sat in front of the fireplace until it became too stuffy and he moved to the couch instead. Jasper hung his jacket on the mantlepiece and sat beside him. They both stared at each other, barely flinching until he spoke.

"What?"

"What what?"

"What what what?" Seth scowled.

"You know, when the rest come back, they'll be complaining about a wet dog smell on the couch." Jasper took his hands off his lap and laid an arm around Seth, putting the other one on the arm of the couch. Seth rolled his eyes and looked out the window. The outside was a dull grey, even the trees and the sea were grey.

"You know you want to," Jasper said his annoying sing song voice. God, he thought Edward was the one in the family who could read minds. Seth got up to his knees on the sofa and curled up in Jasper's lap, fitting perfectly in between his legs. He folded his arms and felt Jasper's hot breath on the back of his neck. Even his breathing was annoying.

"You know, I don't get what's so bad about a wet dog smell." Seth's heart skipped a beat. He turned in Jasper's lap and put his head on his cold shoulder, fiddling with one of the buttons on his designer coat. Jasper slid both his hands around Seth's waist, and brought his mouth closer to his ear.

"I like dogs."

That's it. Seth grabbed both of Jasper's hands and wrestled the annoying ass to the ground, pinning him there until Jasper gasped out.

"Poodles! I meant, poodles! I like, poodles!"

"You better." He released the gasping Jasper, but not before giving him a quick kiss, and got off the ground. He grabbed his jacket from the mantelpiece and moved towards the the door. Jasper got off the ground as well and followed him.

"You're leaving? Wait, Seth!" Seth opened the door and stopped, turning to look back at him.

"You're going to leave me here all alone?"

"Well, I don't know, maybe, yes," Seth replied, putting on his jacket and heading out into the gloomy rain. Jasper called out.

"We have umbrellas!" He swore he heard a low growl replying him from the distance, and went back in smiling.
