there's a sweet little card on the kitchen table, decorated intricately by lydia's hand, but smudged with baby footprints in paint meant to be the wings of a butterfly. perched on lydia's hip, thea gurgles. ' don't laugh. it took an unbelievable amount of tries to even get them looking like that. ' lydia leans in, mouth caught for a kiss, nudging the box in her hands into his ribs. ' hi, welcome home, we love you.'
𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 ends at the threshold of their home . once inside the confines of the apartment , everything is vanilla - scented and just as sweet when looked upon . on his way from the front door to the kitchen , stiles steps over 𝘢 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴 and multiple stuffed animals , casualties perhaps from the day all forgotten in favor of something new to capture an infant’s wandering attention . but there is one thing that truly ensnares her AND THAT IS HER FATHER COMING INTO HER LINE OF SIGHT .
thea reaches one pudgy arm in stiles�� direction and ɪᴛ ɪs ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛɪɴɢ ʜᴇ ɴᴇᴇᴅs ᴛᴏ ᴄʟᴏsᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅɪsᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇᴍ . the card is plucked from its spot on the way , holding it just out of reach of the girl squirming in her mother’s arms to get to her father . ❝ did you make this ? ❞ he asks her incredulously , to which thea says , ❝ MMMMM . ❞ satisfied with such a response , stiles nods and tucks the card under his arm just in time to catch lydia’s kiss and the sharp jab of the box into his ribs .
later , he will open it and try valiantly not to cry over the mint - condition vhs tapes of the star wars original trilogy , but for now he is otherwise engaged . 𝙸𝙽 𝙰 𝚂𝚄𝚁𝙿𝚁𝙸𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝙻𝚈 𝚂𝙼𝙾𝙾𝚃𝙷 𝙼𝙾𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 , stiles tucks his arm around thea’s back and pulls her from her mother’s side to settle her on his hip instead . there , she happily trills at him incomprehensibly and stiles gasps . ❝ no way ! did she really say that ? mama , did you hear that ? thea said you’re getting us in n out for dinner . BEST MAMA EVER . ❞ though his words and smile are mischievous , his eyes are warm with a profound gratefulness for more than just a material gift can garner that he hopes lydia can read . but , if by chance she cannot , he wraps a free arm around her and pulls her against him with another kiss to her brow . ❝ i love you both . thank you for my card , ladies . ɴᴏᴡ , ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ɪɴ ɴ ᴏᴜᴛ sɪᴛᴜᴀᴛɪᴏɴ . . . ❞

HE SAW IT . lips parted , staring at the cracked screen which now beheld nothing but a blurred photo of cars on the highway . the hazy darkness provides a questionable timeline , whether or not the photograph was taken at night or during a storm . gangling figures , disturbing resemblance of humans but much larger , much more slender . no distinguishing qualities but silhouettes and distorted limbs , what would be their heads extending somewhere above the top of the image . nothing . he says nothing to her , extends hand to gently take the phone from her trembling fingers as opposite hand comes to clasp over her shoulder . he attempts to sift through images --------- nothing remains on the phone but the picture . not a text , not even a call log .
‘ where did you say you found this phone ? ’

' get the hell away from me. ' ://
𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂 / 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐂𝐊 ― the effect the touch of her always had on him once upon a time , 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘴 over his as if she had ever had to be shy with anyone in her life ( and certainly never stiles stilinski ) . but here , with barely a step taken on his part to cross the room to reach her , 𝙷𝙴𝚁 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙳𝚂 𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝙴 𝙷𝙸𝙼 just as surprisingly , but leave him breathless in an uncomfortable way . the kind of way that demands a kick to the surface , a burn in the chest where lungs won’t fill . ɢᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴇʟʟ ᴀᴡᴀʏ ғʀᴏᴍ ᴍᴇ , snarls lydia , like cornered animal , like ambushed by the enemy . is that what they have come to now ?
stiles offers his palms for inspection , but this display does not give as much away as the hurt on his face . she looks at him like ghost , some phantom pain that she thought she might forget but clearly hasn’t . her tears thread her lashes together threateningly , but she does not cry . 𝙞𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙛 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 for her to keep them at bay or perhaps it is just the tremble of her that appears as her struggle . ❝ LYDIA , ❞ stiles breathes , horrified and embarrassed and aching . behind him , he can hear scott retreating like he knows there is a fight here that has been dormant for too long . stiles can’t blame him ; he’d like to run from this too . ❝ what ― let me just ― i was only trying TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE OKAY . ❞

‘ i’m gonna miss you . ’
THE UNAVOIDABLE MOMENT HE HAD BEEN DREADING. this was going to happen sooner or later . bags are packed . everyone at scott’s for one final goodbye party . it’s stupid , really . nothing was going to change ( of course , everything already had ) . he couldn’t get drunk so the beta spent most of the night avoiding people in the kitchen , stuffing his face with chips . things were going to be okay . well , if that were true why did the teen have such a knot in his stomach ? ugh . maybe he would feel better after another handful of doritos .
SPOILER ALERT : he didn’t . what would actually help is getting out of there . there’s nothing wrong with wanting to ignore something unhappy for a little while longer . stiles did it all the time . the thought only made things worse . no more late night stakeouts for no reason other than a ridiculous suspicion . the teen was going to miss that more than he could say .
just then a familiar face walks into the kitchen . she’s got her i’ve been looking for you face on and it only validates his initial idea to hide . they get through a short conversation of small talk , laughing their way through days gone by . near death experiences but many , many more happy memories .
it’s only her final comment that takes him by surprise . i’m gonna miss you . there’s a lump in his throat but he forces out a smile . everything will to be okay . it had to be . ❝ you don’t have to worry , you know . ❞ blue eyes refuse to break the girl’s gaze . ❝ i’ll be fine . we’ll all be fine . mason , deaton , scott’s mom , your mom … it’s okay to go . ❞
something inside the teen possesses him to get up and embrace her . ❝ you’ve all protected beacon hills for so long . it’s time for you to go . time to finally say goodbye . ❞ he pulls away and offers her a reassuring ( albeit unhelpful ) nod . ❝ ––––– i’m gonna miss you too , lydia . ❞

LIPS SPLIT INTO A WIDE , teeth - baring grin . head falls so chin meets chest , ever so slightly shaking as he steps into her apartment . he’s quite a sight ; gash above his eye , bruise forming along his jaw , a slight limp in his gait . “ come on , you wouldn’t do that . your neighbours are probably already wondering what the hell someone like me is doing here . ”

❝ 𝐒𝐎. ❞ how does one word carry so much warning, SO MUCH WEIGHT? it is chased with a spoonful of ben and jerry’s half baked, cold cold on roof of mouth, tongue swiping along a fuller lip to rid it of STICKY-STICKY-MESS. allison sticks her spoon into the carton, settles it in her lap, and levels her best friend with a serious look. ❝ are you going to tell me WHAT’S GOING ON between you two? ❞

A CROWDED SCHOOL HALLWAY. HE CATCHES HER AT THE LOCKERS. the smile on his face implies the girl will like what he has to say . ❝ so , good news ... i am free tonight after all . ❞ lydia’s week long plan to get him to play the doting boyfriend paid off . the teen hated this idea at first . a family dinner where he would be endlessly questioned over their fake relationship ? not exactly how he wanted to spend his friday night .
. . . BUT HOW QUICKLY A MIND CAN CHANGE when potentially faced with quality father / son time . being interrogated at the dinner table was a welcomed challenge .
❝ what time should i be there ? ❞

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐊 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐃𝐎𝐙𝐄𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒, 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐃-𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐃-𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. stiles sticks a new one to the corkboard on his wall, connects SCARLET THREAD by looping it round the pin, and settles back into his chair. the tabs open on his laptop have grown to ten, the latest describing 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀, but stiles’ cursor hovers over the word SOUL BOND long enough to stain his cheeks 𝚄𝙽𝚂𝙾𝙻𝚅𝙴𝙳-𝚁𝙴𝙳. doesn’t want to acknowledge the possibility out loud, not to her, not to lydia, but it tightens something in his chest that he has too long been ignoring and he hits print BEFORE HE CAN TALK HIMSELF OUT OF IT.
𝖱𝖨𝖦𝖧𝖳 𝖧𝖤𝖱𝖤, she says and stiles looks up to watch her press her palm into her sternum. almost, almost thinks that he feels the ghost of her touch ON HIS OWN CHEST. ❝ uh. yeah. yes. i-- i feel it, too. ❞ there is something vulnerable in the look of her, sᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ sᴏғᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʜᴇ ᴡᴀɴᴛs ᴛᴏ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ, that he wants to protect, and he rises once again, leaving the paper to fall from his printer so that he can sit beside her. it feels familiar in a way that aches, like something left unfinished, LIKE SOMETHING LEFT UNSAID. ❝ how-- how long have you noticed it? how long do you think it’s been there for you? ❞

❛ It’s four o'clock in the morning, what are you doing? ❜
“ YOU KNOW I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING . you shouldn’t be awake . ” retort is too sharp considering the image he presents . soaked fabric clings to skin , hair sticking up in every direction , boots heavy with mud , eyes red and bloodshot , shoulders sagging with an unexplained weight ; he’s a mess . the rumble that fills the brief silence seems to punctuate that he ran here regardless of the storm outside . and despite the bite in his words , the only expression on his face is relief . she’s the one person who could understand , that much he’s convinced of . “ i found something . i need your help . and we gotta go ——— now . ”

“ why didn’t you tell me? ”
NEWS SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE IN THIS TOWN. there were no secrets in beacon hills . the boy knew that . still , it was stubbornness that had taken over him . he refused to run back to scott ( or anyone in the pack ) the moment things got difficult . not now . not after they left town . there was no need to worry them . this was his problem now , his responsibility . he perhaps should’ve known better than to confide in lydia’s mom , though . in truth her sudden appearance in town should not be a surprise . this knowledge didn’t make the boy any less stunned .
he struggles with a response . what was a polite way of saying go away and don’t worry ? the boy had a sneaking suspicion there wasn’t one . he let’s out a sigh . she didn’t need to concern herself with any of this stuff . ‘ ––––– it’s not important . ’ of course it was exactly that . the town just needed time to adjust to a new normal . the worst of it was only dirty looks . he’s dealt with worse before .
EVERYTHING WAS DIFFERENT NOW . that’s just a fact they all had to accept . ‘ i can’t keep asking for help for every little thing . ’ the boy was stronger than that . he had to be . besides , there was still deaton , and satomi , and the sheriff , and mason . ‘ scott trusted me to keep the town safe . ’
with a simple shrug , ‘ … you didn’t need to know . ’

“ so where’s my hug? ”
A WEEKEND TRIP TO GREENDALE. just enough time to reconnect with a movie night and the usual , wild discussions at cerberus’ . now he’s back to the familiar sounds of the beacon hills high school hallways . it’s all routine now . opening his locker , grabbing the books and notes he’ll need for morning classes . he lets out a yawn , regretting the fact he skipped out on his usual cup of coffee in his hurry not to be late . the voice nearly startles him , but a smile forms on his face instantly . he shuts the locker door and turns to the familiar face .
the boy hadn’t been gone long . yet his warm welcome back cheered him up all the same . ❝ i would have given you one in homeroom . the tardy bell hasn’t even rung yet . ❞
he embraces the girl all the same . ❝ ––––– so , did i miss anything while i was gone ? ❞
