Kind of Trashed Mansion | Thursday

[robinonadderall]

After getting the hell scared out of him by Kate last night Stiles risked the glaring of his life to go check in on Derek at his house. At least he told himself it was just to check in. It certainly had nothing to do with having violent Argent flashbacks from last month and wanting to be somewhere safe. Nope. Not at all.

Even the safety aspect of this was iffy because you had to have been blind not to notice the bullet holes around the place. Stiles managed to coax Puppy Joe out from under the couch and took him up to Derek's room for much needed cuddling. Which eventually turned into sleeping. 'Cause there was something about Derek's bed that made him pass out for some reason.

And Stiles was still there the next day. Comfort zone reasons aside, it was the best place to wait for Derek. If he ever came back.

[Open for the occupants of said house, yes. And calls too!]

It would keep him sane in Beacon Hills. And c'mon, Stiles. You didn't even bat an eye at Peter being alive again.

"He's in the shower after sleeping in the woods. I can't really leave him alone for one second, can I?"

[robinonadderall]

"Apparently not." Stiles suddenly remembered where he was and what it probably looked like. "This must seem weird."

What with a teenager cuddling a fluffy dog in your brother's bed.

"A little bit," she said, pinching her fingers together to show how much. "I'd mention shovels, but I think it would be in bad taste."

[robinonadderall]

"It's nothing gross, I swear!" Despite what he was telling crazy pervert ladies in bars. "This is actually the first time I've been in here since he stopped talking to me after the, uh, you know...the you dying thing."

"Yeah," Laura said, walking toward the bed to hold a hand out for the dog. In case Puppy Joe wanted to try trusting another strange woman again. "About that."

[robinonadderall]

"Oh god, I am so sorry about that," Stiles said. "Please don't kill me."

[justalphahere.livejournal.com]

Oh, Stiles. Stiles. She was a Hale. It was possible that she was just going to seemingly come onto you while engaging in some stalking.

"You know who did it."

[robinonadderall]

Well Laura was pretty good looking so Stiles couldn't really say he'd hate that.

"Yes," he answered. "We become acquainted. And by that I mean he kidnaps me."

Rrawr, Stiles.

Laura just sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed. "I'm not telling him either."

Because their family was messed up.

[robinonadderall]

"What? Why not?" Because not all Hales were impulsive dumbasses like Derek, Stiles.

[justalphahere.livejournal.com]

"Because I don't want my brother to die." Peter got the drop on her when she was still a alpha. Derek didn't really stand a chance on his own.

[robinonadderall]

"Sound reasoning. Well if everything goes like it did with me that won't happen," Stiles said. "Which was why I didn't say anything to you during Christmas and have I mentioned how sorry I am about that?"

[justalphahere.livejournal.com]

"I can't say that I don't want to rip your throat out," Laura said, leaning back on her elbow to let Puppy Joe very hesitantly creep forward to sniff. "But I really wouldn't have believed you if you told me what would happen."

Because comatose. And Uncle.

[robinonadderall]

"That crossed my mind too," he admitted. "He's gonna get pissed at me all over again when he finds out."

[justalphahere.livejournal.com]

"But he lives?" That was the important thing.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles nodded. "Yeah, he's still alive where I'm from. He's...well, actually I have no idea what he's doing now, I don't know him as well as I know this Derek."

He was moving into a romantic loft, Stiles. For romantic purposes.

Something in Laura's brain would have broken at that. BROKEN.

"Try to keep him from doing anything too stupid." There was a pause before she added. "Maybe use a squirt bottle."

[robinonadderall]

"We're actually still not talking, technically, but I'll do what I can," he said. "Sans squirt bottle because I don't want to have my face mauled off."
