Following the Stars

Anything Could Happen

"I still don't see the point in school right now" Stiles muttered as they left class "Like, we should be focused on trying to find a way to stop the world from ending, how is chemistry going to help with that?"
"The same way chemistry helped us deal with a certain alpha who we shall not name" Lydia replied easily, her grip around Allison's waist tightened as the brunette laughed into her shoulder
"Can we order pizza tonight?" Danny asked as they left the building, scanning the parking lot for Derek
"I thought we agreed pizza was only for celebrations" Allison frowned
"Thai?" Lydia suggested
"Thai sounds good" Stiles nodded in agreement "Race you home?" He nodded towards Lydia's car. Allison and Lydia glanced at one another before grinning
"You're on Stilinski, losers have to do the dishes" Lydia grabbed Allison's hand and pulled her towards her car, Allison laughing the entire way

"Everything is awful" Stiles groaned as they pulled up, Lydia's car in the driveway
"Stiles, they made up, a few dishes is preferable to more rain" Danny remarked from beside him
"Well, when you put it like that" Stiles climbed out of the car. As they walked into the house they saw Lydia sitting on the sofa with Allison's head in her lap. Lydia's hand is stroking through Allison's hair as they laugh, Allison tears her gaze away from Lydia long enough to realise they're not alone and swings her legs off of the sofa
"Took your sweet time" She grinned, she looked so happy that Stiles couldn't stop grinning back at her even if he wanted to
"We totally let you win" He winked, Allison scoffed and threw herself back onto the sofa
"So, Thai for dinner?" Danny asked, everybody hummed in agreement
"Allison, can you help me grab some of the books from your dads office?" Stiles asked "We need to learn about these tears" He added
"Oh, yeah" Allison kissed Lydia on the cheek before jogging after him up the stairs

"Your dad has more books than I thought" Stiles muttered as he looked through the shelves
"They have to have something of use, right?" Allison asked as she rummaged through a drawer
"I hope so" Stiles replied as he began pulling books from their places, stacking them on top of one another "If we split all the books up, bookmark anything we think is relevant and then bring all our notes together we should be able to piece it all together" He explained as they each carried a stack of books from the room
"This, this is why you're the go to guy for research" Allison laughed appreciatively, they walk in silence for a moment "Researcher and professional knife thrower extraordinaire" she added in an amused tone
"Now that's a kick ass job description" Stiles laughed as they reached the living room, dropping the books onto the table
"Right then, I'll put some coffee on" Allison clapped her hands together and headed into the kitchen, the group watched her go
"Lydia, I'm going to be straight up honest with you right now" Danny twisted in his seat to level a gaze at her "Never fall out with Allison again"
Lydia opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by stifled laughter, beside her Stiles and Scott were hunched over, their shoulders shaking
"What?" She asked with a raised eyebrow
"Straight up" Stiles managed to say between laughter
"Seriously?" Lydia asked
"We have to take humour from the little things Lydia" Scott replied
"The gay guy saying straight up is funny?" Danny asked
"No, no" Stiles held up a hand "The gay guy saying straight up to a girl who is currently dating another girl while in the company of two boys who have crushes on other boys is funny" Stiles reasoned. Lydia threw a book at him
"Shut up and read" She said, but she was grinning nonetheless

"I hate reading" Allison threw a book down and pressed herself into Lydia's side. Lydia held her book in one hand and wrapped her other arm around Allison "I now know how to kill a chimera among many other creatures I didn't think existed so there's that" She added with a small shrug
"Is it time to order dinner yet?" Scott asked looking to the clock "I mean it takes like an hour anyway?"
"I'll go order" Derek dropped his own book to head into the kitchen. Lydia closed her book and leant back against the sofa, pinching the bridge of her nose
"This is exhausting, why is there so little information on tears?" she asked with a sigh, she shifted herself and Allison so they were lying across the sofa with Allison in between her legs, Lydia's arms wrapped around her waist.
"I've found some things" Stiles spoke up "But I want to finish looking through all of the books before we go anywhere"
Lydia made a humming sound and buried her face into Allison's hair, and closed her eyes
