Hello everyone! This is my first ever fanfic and I hope you guys like it! I've wanted to write one for so long, but it was't until I met my new friend Woman-of-the-night that I truly felt inspired. I have her to thank for this. You should all head on over to her page to read her fabulous stories! So once again, thank you for inspiring and Beta-ing this story as well!

This will be a Derek/Stiles fic. It will also have mentions of Danny/Jackson. Keeping it at T for now but I might change the rating later. Well, on with it...

Chapter 1: Stiles' POV

"You want WHAT now!"

"Oh, come on Stiles, please? I'm not asking you to actually fall in love with me, but just to pretend to." I stared at Danny for a moment, actually contemplating his offer. 'A bit too late to worry about who I fall in love with now.'

He was hopelessly in love with Jackson, his best friend since the first grade. So he devised this whole scheme, and asked me over to his house today to lay his proposition on the table. He wanted me to pretend to be his boyfriend so he could make Jackson jealous and want to be with him.

"And what makes you so sure he'll respond the way we want him to?" I asked, looking into his dark brown eyes full of pleading.

"I think he likes me too, but he just doesn't know it yet. The other day, after we won the lacrosse game, he ran straight to me really excited and hugged me." He had that dreamy look in his eyes. 'I know that look.'

"You do know friends hug, right?" I asked him skeptically. I'm not trying to be a bad person here, but Danny's my friend and I didn't want to see him get hurt.

"No Stiles, not when it's a hug like that." He said with a serious look on his face. I sighed. This would be a good way of getting Jackson back for being such a jerk to me all the time. I could really have fun with this if I do go through with it.

"Come on, please! Stiles, you know I would ask something like this of you. I just want to know if I'll ever stand a chance with him. I don't want to keep living my life with 'what if's in my mind," he pouted. Well, he did have a point there. Lord knows those 'what if's have been keeping me up night after night as well.

Suddenly, a great idea came to mind. I could use this to my own advantage. But would it really work? 'Only one way to find out, right?' I took a deep breath and ran my hand through my short light brown hair. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but okay. I'll help you. But only because I care." 'Yea, that's the only reason why.'

Danny's face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Thank you so much, Stiles! You won't regret this, I swear!" He hugged me enthusiastically, spinning me around like they do on TV.

"Yea, yea, I sure hope not. Now get off, this doesn't have to start till tomorrow." I replied, shrugging his hug off casually. I held up a finger in warning "But one condition: I get to tell Scott the truth. I don't like lying to my best friend."

Danny nodded his head, "Yea, of course man. Just don't let anyone else know." I agreed, said goodbye, and then left his house.

"See ya tomorrow….boyfriend!" he called after me, laughing happily. I shook my head, getting into my car, deciding to drive to Scott's house tomorrow morning to tell him since it would be the beginning of this little charade.

'What have I gotten myself into?' I thought to myself. 'Oh well, if this works, I'll be able to get more than just a rile out of Jackson.' Suddenly, thoughts of what this could all lead to came to mind. If this does work, I'll finally get what I want! And Danny will get Jackson, so everybody wins. And even if it doesn't turn out the way I want it to, I know I won't have to keep living will all these 'what if's anymore.

'I just hope nothing goes wrong.'

So how did you guys like it? Please review, even if its just to say that you've read it. I'd love to know what you all think!
