The thing is Lydia and Stiles haven't exactly spent a lot of time together since they started dating. Between Stiles' internship and both of them going off to college, they've gotten used to being apart. Scott asked Lydia about it once, how she coped with long-distance. She'd shrugged at the time and answered, "The same way I handle everything: Brilliantly." Except now they're back in Beacon Hills over the holidays and they're spending time together and doing all things couples are supposed to do — dates, flowers, pet names — and something feels off. They're in Lydia's room on the bed. Stiles has his head on her pillow, staring up at the ceiling, and Lydia is sat at the end, reading. Or, well, trying to read but in reality she's read the same page three times in a room.
