Stilinski House | Thursday Afternoon

[robinonadderall]

It was just Stiles and Derek in the house today since his dad was at work and Scott and Lydia had decided to focus more on trying to solve the nogitsune problem now that they were sure Stiles was fine. Stiles had spent the morning putting together a bag for Eichen House, though he wasn't quite sure what was appropriate for a stay at a place like that. Did he bring his own clothes? He had no idea.

Once that was taken care of he decided to finish up some loose ends before he got his phone taken away from him, curling up in bed and dialing Kitty's number. He figured he owed her an explanation.

[For Kitty and the guy in the house if he wants. NFB due to distance]

Comments

Kitty had been trying to get through some of the work she'd ignored on Tuesday, which meant she was closed up in the Caritas office and glad for the distraction. She checked to see who it was, then picked up with a "Hey there."

[robinonadderall]

"Hey," he said. "Is this a bad time?"

[throughaphase]

"Nope. In fact you're saving me from boredom," she told him. "What's up?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles sighed, already hating he had to do this. "I know lately it feels like I just call when bad stuff happens but this bad thing is really bad so I can't not say something about it."

[throughaphase]

Uh oh. "That's okay," she said. "What happened?"

[robinonadderall]

"So you remember when I said there was an evil Japanese fox demon possessing somebody in Beacon Hills?" he asked. "We found out who it was."

[throughaphase]

"The nogitsune? Who is it?" She had a bad feeling about this.

[robinonadderall]

"Me," he answered. "It's possessing me. The only reason I'm myself right now is because Deaton injected me with something but it's not going to last. We don't know how to get rid of it yet."

[throughaphase]

Kitty paused, and once again, it was hard to bee too surprised by anything ever, given her life. "I'm sure this is a stupid question, but you're sure?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles laughed a little bitterly. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Just ask the people I've killed over the last week. Or Derek and Scott, 'cause I tortured them."

[throughaphase]

"You what?"

Oh look, she could be surprised!

[robinonadderall]

"Killed people. Tortured them. Blew up my dad's office," he said sadly. "That's why I called. I need you to stay away from me."

[throughaphase]

"You know you can't hurt me, right?" she said. "I mean, that's one thing you don't have to worry about."

Derek had aggressively made sandwiches for them. Because he was handling this perfectly fine. Shut up.

"Here."

Now that your phone call was done, you can eat.

[robinonadderall]

"Thanks," he said. He wasn't really hungry but he didn't want Derek making sad faces at him. "You didn't have to do that."

[justlurkinghere]

"I wanted to." He apparently also wanted to crowd into Stiles' space and act like a creepy octopus.

[robinonadderall]

"You really want to be that close to my face when I'm eating?" 'Cause you knew how he ate, Derek.

[justlurkinghere]

"I'll survive." But he did back off a little bit.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles placed his free hand on Derek's thigh for an additional bit of closeness while he dutifully ate the sandwich that was given to him. "Are you staying here after tomorrow or are you going back to Fandom?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I'll go back for a little bit." Maybe cling to his dog. "But I'll be back before your 72 hours are up."

[robinonadderall]

"I might be in there a lot longer than 72 hours," he said. "That's just the amount of time I'm not allowed to have visitors or contact with anybody."

[justlurkinghere]

"So? I'm not going to not come see you."

[robinonadderall]

"Okay," he said, not wanting to argue. "I'm just saying you don't have to rush back if you don't want to."

[justlurkinghere]

"Someone has to keep your dad from running himself into the ground," Derek muttered. Meaning he needed something to do or he'd go insane abd the sheriff was a good excuse.

[robinonadderall]

"How do you plan on stopping that from happening?" he asked.
