[ SQUINT ]

But it is after winter break. You had tryouts, and practices, and a scrimmage, and now you have a game.

[ SQUUUUINT! ]

Why wouldn't I go?

[teenyoda]

... N-n-n-no. It's not even Christmas yet and we haven't--

[Shit.]

You're later than me. Dammit. Why wouldn't you go? Why would you go? Are we ... friends later?

[He remembers how friendly they'd gotten before and now he was curious.]

[ferally]

[ she's still squinting for a while

then she's quirking a brow at him

and then she's laughing? because this must be one of those jokes he makes that just takes her a little longer than it should to get it! like a weird movie reference! that's all it is!

wait no she's not going to just laugh until she gets it this time. because this isn't funny. ]

Are we friends? [ nnnrrrrrhh. wait. ] What do you mean "later" than you? When did you get here?

[teenyoda]

Ah, five months ago, but I mean later than me back home. When I got here, me and, ah... Allison were from sort of the same time. Lydia and Isaac weren't. Though, Lydia is now... and Isaac and Allison are gone. It's... it's kind of messed up.

Where are you?

[ferally]

[ "isn't Allison dead?" almost blurts out of her mouth, but. right. filter. even if filtering is really hard right now because what the hell is he even talking about? he's not making that face he does whenever he's just joking around with her, she knows that face. and she knows this face, it's the- trying to explain something a little confusing and complex face. she doesn't really like that face. ]

I'm in a closet at a train station.

[ :| ]

Where are you?

[teenyoda]

W--why are you in a clo-- never mind. I'm on my way to some dwarf city and I'm on a boat. In the ocean. Which is, you know, not fun. Just in case you were wondering.

What court are you in?

[Because that was important, okay?]

[ferally]

I had to get out of the crowd.

[ she's not going to clarify beyond that, he should know what that means. or she thinks he should. he should. ]

Court? I got dragged here by some kind of tiny, bratty creature. They didn't really tell me anything. Nobody is telling me anything. [ not that she tried talking to anyone, but whatever ] Stiles. [ so serious ] I can't tell if you're joking or not. Can you please just tell me what's going on? [ now??? ]

[teenyoda]

[He doesn't, but he'll let it slide because he figured out where she was supposed to be.]

That would probably put you in the Unseelie court. Which you need to get away from since Peter's over there and as far as I can tell, that's the bad side. As for what's going on? Welcome to not-home, Malia. We've all been dragged here and told we're supposed to fight in some stupid fairy war.

[ferally]

I can handle Peter.

[ but... oh. ]

Who's fighting who here? It doesn't look like there's a war going on. ..I've seen a few fairies, though.

[ she might've growled at them ]

[teenyoda]

Um... Peter's an alpha here. Stupid fairies gave him some stupid frigging...

[GRRRRRRRRRR.]

Ah, the Unseelies and the Seelies. So... that would be you and me.

[ferally]

[ whhhaaaaaaaat?? her eyes kind of widen even as her brow furrows up. it's an epic look of confusion, that's for sure. but Peter being an alpha doesn't really register- ]

But I would never fight you.

[teenyoda]

Yeah, I was kind of hoping you'd gotten all that aggression out with the punch to the face, but... ah...

[Was he blushing? He was blushing. There were other things that had been worked out as well that he was remembering and he ran a hand through his hair.]

I don't really think they care what we want.

[ferally]

[ punch to the face-? oh.

oh! whoa. ]

I'm your girlfriend, Stiles.

[ yes that's how you break that kind of news to someone who, somehow, is months behind you in the memory department. definitely ]

And I'm still aggressive. But we've been working on that. You helped me find my anchor.

[ a beat ]

You really don't remember anything about us after Eichen House?

[teenyoda]

...

[See his face? That's the face of a man who's just been sucker punched in the feels.]

You're my... what? How did that happen? When did that happen? Did that happen?

[Working on it, she'd said. Well, yeah, he'd remembered her and Scott planning on trying to work on her controlling herself, but...]

Uh, I remember you getting a hold of Scott after-- ah, after everything. To try to learn how to change back.

[ferally]

[ did that happen? she looks hurt, for a second, but if he really doesn't remember anything after that first time they hung out with Scott, then-

some logical part of her brain recognizes that it makes sense. but her emotional side spikes and her eyes glow without her even realizing it, heartbeat picking up ]

A lot's happened since then. Time, a lot of time went by. A few months. Like you said.

We hung out a lot.

[ how do people even deal with something like this??? ????? ??? ??????? ?? ?? ?? ???? ]

[teenyoda]

We hung out a lot.

...


...


...







.....

.

And you're my girlfriend?

[Is this real life or is this fanta sea?]

[ferally]

Yes, Stiles.

[ and now she'll growl, yes. non-threatening, just... frustrated. and maybe sad. definitely sad. ]

What do you want to know? We hung out a lot, and we still hang out a lot, and you helped me relearn all the TV channels, and how to use an iPod, and when it's okay to be honest and when I should just not talk. You help me study, and translate Lydia's notes even when they're in secret code. We have sex a lot but only when we know for sure that your dad's asleep, because otherwise we'll get "the talk". Again. You aren't afraid to stay with me when I change during the full moon, and you don't judge me. And I don't judge you. Ever. [ rant rant rant rant ] But how can any of that matter anymore if you can't remember any of it? [ that's the part that freaks her out, yeah ]

[teenyoda]

...






We have sex a lot?

[Of COURSE that's the part that his teenage brain fastens on to. Yes, yes, he heard the rest, but sex Malia. That was the most important part of this whole conversations.]

[ferally]

Yes. A lot.

[ eh, it's okay she doesn't mind. she likes sex, too. and it's much nicer to think about than "stiles hardly knows you", yeah ]

[teenyoda]

[Don't do it. Don't do it. Shut up. Keep your mouth shut. Don't as--]

Am I any good? I mean... do you... is it good?

[Fail.]

[ferally]

[ a p a u s e. she squints at first, not judgey! just. really? ]

We wouldn't be having sex a lot if I didn't like it.

[teenyoda]

Oh. Well.

[Okay then. That was good. Yay, he didn't suck at sex.

But now he was having to actually believe that her and he... that they... all the time... in bed...]

Okay.

[ferally]

Okay. [ settled! good! ] Can we get back to the fairy war? And why they think I would ever agree to fight you? Because that's not going to happen.

[teenyoda]

Um...

[Give him a minute. His brain was still remembering naked Malia.]

...

Right. Ah, they don't really care. They just sort of... go us here one way or another and we're supposed to play along. Some of us don't, but there's other groups that do. My group's been attacked a few times by Unseelies and we've gone over there. Well, not me-we, but... the... yeah. Group. Thing.

[ferally]

You have a group here?

[ is that like having a pack? ]
