Why Would You Ever Kiss Me?

Hey There Delilah

Stassis POV
I was very tempted to have just walked out of the room and say I wasn't going to bother with tonight at all. I was just going to stay home with my siblings and be unbothered. But I was only going to do that because I knew it would
bother Stiles. I'm trying to evolve here. I didn't like when it happened to me, so I wasn't going to do it to anyone else.
The game started at 4, so I still had time before to be home.
"Hello?!" I bellowed. My voice bounced off the marble and echoed around the expansive space.
"Upstairs." I heard Newts voice from my band on my wrist. It was a feature I developed so that the three of us can communicate wherever we were. It made me feel less lonely knowing that I could speak into it and hear their voices quickly.

I went upstairs and instead of taking a left into my room I took a right into Newts. He and Hero were playing a game with their friend Miles I think his name was?
The kid was a giant though. Like 6'3 and his knees hit the coffee table in front of him when he sat down.
The boys got out early today because there was a problem with the chemistry labs. False alarm gas leak.

"You guys wanna come to the game tonight?" I asked watching their game on the tv and biting my nails.
"Why? Is that what you're anxious about?" Newt asked looking at me sideways.
"The hell are you talking about I'm not anxious." I said defensively.
"Yeah you are you're biting your nails." Hero chimed in.
I took my nails out of my mouth. I didn't feel nervous about it per se, it was more the waiting. I kind of wanted to get it over with. As bad as that sounded.

"Well we were going to go to that new Thai restaurant." Hero said again.
"Mm." I replied unsatisfied.
"Don't go if you don't want to." Newt said. Ha. Yeah easier said than done buddy. Besides, I'm there to support Stiles. Period. No other reason so if I don't go, that says a lot. And I know how much it means to him.
"I just don't want to go alone." I said stretching out. "I'll look dumb."
"Aw. You are dumb." Hero said and they all laughed. I rolled my eyes.
"Shut up I'm older."
"I'm stronger." He said.
"I'm richer."
"Touchè." He said. We always went back and forth like this, getting on each others nerves and never taking anything to heart.

I chilled with them a bit and it was 3:40 now. I should probably get going. Blah. I grabbed my Stiles hoodie and a set of keys, said goodbye to my brothers and Miles? Still unsure. And left. The drive felt shorter than usual and I parked pretty close to Stiles' car and the parking lot was getting packed.
People got out of their cars and made their way to the field. I still sat in mine and tried to get the most awkward part over with. Walking to the field alone.
I shoved my hands in the pockets of the hoodie and made my way to the bleachers. It was cold tonight but at least there was no wind.

"Mind of I sit here?" I asked a boy who I know name is Patrick.
"Yeah! Of course. Move down a bit fatty." He said to the kid sitting next to him.
"Fuck you." He said but moving down. "Hey. I'm Josh." He said. He was not fat, but like a big guy you know? He was tall even sitting down and had broad shoulders. He has dark black hair with blue in his side bangs. It was scene hair but it fit his aesthetic. He had on a black leather jacket and tight black jeans and beat up vans with a Black Sabbath t-shirt.
"Stassi." I said.
"Yeah I know."
"Creepy." Patrick said.
"Not like that. Like I've seen you before and everything."

I felt kind of bad. I never seen him before. It made me realize that there's more people to this school than the ones I've been stressing about. Like Lydia and Jackson.
Speaking of, she sat with Allison and a few other girls a few rows down. I tried to pay no mind as if I didn't see them.
"You like lacrosse?" Patrick asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders unsure. "Uh I guess kind of. I just uh, my boyfriend is on the team so I came for him."
"Ah nice. Stilinski right?" He asked.

It was strange that people knew kind of a lot about me when I knew their first name only. And I didn't even know Josh before this!
"Yeah." I said.
"Nice nice."
"How about you?" I asked.
"Uh kind of in the same situation as you." He said making an uncomfortable face.
"Which one is yours?" I asked making a bit of a joke trying to get him less uncomfortable.
"Well he's not really on the team and he's not really my boyfriend and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know I exist." He said nodding his head at his dismay.
"Well... who is it?!" I asked excitedly.
He looked in the direction of the band members and sighed.
"Please tell me you're referring to Will." I said.
"Yup." He said popping the p.
Oh this was great. I could play matchmaker. I loved this.
"Well, since you let me sit with you... I could totally put in a good word with Will." I said nudging him in the arm.
"Seriously?" He asked smiling.
"Duh. Of course."

This was too cute. He sat through these long games in the cold just to watch Will play his clarinet in the band section. And I think they would be a good match. And I'm sure Will is itching to get out there with his new self acceptance.

"You guys should come to the diner." I said standing up as the ref blew the final whistle. Beacon won 10-7 and everyone was pumped. "Yeah totally." Josh said and Patrick nodded in agreement.
Okay. Now I was feeling much better about this.
Stiles didn't play tonight at all since it was too close of a game. I walked with Patrick and Josh waiting for Stiles when I was tapped on my shoulder. I turned around and before I could react, Lydia wrapped her arms around me. Mine stayed right by my side.
Too soon.
"Ahh! Ready to celebrate!!?" She exclaimed. I nodded my head unsure.

Scott came up from behind Lydia and Allison kissing her on the back of the head. Since Scott's here I know that Stiles shouldn't be far. I looked around for him but failed to see him anywhere.
"Oh! Jesus! Stiles you scared me!" I said turning around to him laughing. It was like this afternoon never happened.
"I'm sorry." He said kissing my forehead and pulling me in for a hug.
Over his shoulder I saw Isaac standing alone briefly before Erica came up to him. He looked at me and Stiles and I averted my eyes.
"You don't mind if Patrick and Josh come do you?" I asked Stiles.
"Patrick has a crush on Will." I whispered.
"Yeah of course." He said.

We all departed from the field and the bleachers back to the parking lot.
"I'll follow you." I said to Stiles as we approached my car.
"Yeah. Thanks for coming." He said standing in front of me back against my car. A very familiar placement for us.
His hand traced up and down the side of my leg and for a moment the cold of his finger tips brushed bare skin and made me shiver.
"I would want to be anywhere else." I said playing with his hair.

"You two! Enough PDA let's go I'm starving." Jackson said all sweaty and gross holding onto Lydias hand. Cock block.
"I'll be right behind you." I said to him. He held onto my hands as he back away until we couldn't reach anymore.
Music played softly in the background as I concentrated on not losing sight of the jeep. Then I did.
Great.

I sped up after I was held at a light and I could see it in the distance.
"Jarvis?"
"Yes Miss."
"That blue jeep. Keep me following its coordinates."
"Yes Miss." He said. I watched as my windshield programmed focusing in on the jeep.
He took a sharp right off an exit and I missed it.
"God damn it!" I yelled hitting the steering wheel. "Jarvis recalculate. Now!" I demanded being frustrated as hell.
The windshield redirected me and now I was going to walk in alone and awkward.
I had to get off the next exit and my phone rang.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey where are you?" Stiles' voice boomed from my car speakers.
"I missed the exit but I'll be there soon." I said.
"Okay. I'm just gonna grab us a table so they don't fill up."
Ugh. Fuck.
"Yeah that's fine I'll be there in like 5." I said putting my car into sport.
"Okay baby. Drive safe." He said before hanging up.

I got off the next exit, took a U turn, was speeding, and basically ran through a red light.
"This left Miss. The car is there." Jarvis said. I cut through traffic and into the parking lot. I took a deep breath from that crazy car ride and unbuckled.
"God damn." I said getting out.
I went up the steps and opened the door. I could see the others already in there. I braced myself.

"Can I help you?" An older woman said at the podium.
"Uh yeah my friends are just-" I said pointing when I was cut off by a loud crashing sound and my name being called.
"Annie?" A woman's voice said. I turned to her. Glass and soda scattered the floor at her feet. "Hey it's-"

"Delilah?!"
