Summary
Stiles was rushing to his next class when a heavy, familiar hand descended onto his shoulder.
"Um...Stiles, you're um-" Jackson leaned forward and whispered into Stiles ear, his warm breath ghosting over his ear. "You're bleeding through your jeans and people are starting to notice."
Stiles backed away, blood draining from his face. Jackson reached out as if to grab him again and Stiles bolted. When he came back to himself, he was sitting in the locked bathroom stall in the locker room.
The one where Stiles has a bad day and surprisingly Jackson is the one that helps him through it.

Summary
"My mom's pregnant," Jackson blurted, as tears filled his eyes again. "She's finally going to have the kid she's always wanted. What do they need me for anymore now that they can have their real son or daughter or whatever running around?"
Everything clicked into place. Jackson was scared.
Scared that the only home he'd ever known, the only parents he'd ever known, were going to disappear.

Summary
Jackson rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and reached for the lit screen, groping clumsily at his nightstand. He picked up the phone just as the voicemail picked up. Jackson waited for a minute or two until the voicemail beeped its completion and tried to wake up more fully. Finally he held the phone to his ear.
"Hey, Jacks..." Stiles sniffled, obviously crying. "I'm outside your house because i have nowhere else to go and dad's drunk and Scott's busy and I really need somewhere to sleep but I'll just try someone else like Lydia or...or...Sorry, i can't think straight. Um, I'll call you tomorrow." End of message.
It's the anniversary of Claudia's death and Stiles needs a place to hide away from his worries.

Summary
"What happened?"
"Some assholes f-from the other t-team-" Jackson rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and took a few deep breaths at Stiles's prompting to ground himself more. He smelled vaguely of cheap beer, so it was a safe bet that the others had been drinking as well. "They didn't like losing to a faggot. They were at the party and they cornered Danny outside and-" Jackson poked at the bruise on his face. "There were three of them kicking him so hard, and I tried to stop them but...he was coughing and bleeding and he couldn't breathe and-"
Danny is bashed and Jackson leans on Stiles while Stiles considers revealing his secret.
