Following the Stars

Every Time we Touch

"I made pancakes!" Scott greets the girls as they reach the bottom of the stairs, he's grinning and holding a spatula in one hand.

"THEY'RE FUCKING DELICIOUS!!" Stiles yells from the dining room. Allison laughs and bumps her shoulder against Scott as she walks past. Stiles and Danny are sat beside one another, shoving pancakes into their mouth with such speed Allison wonders how neither of them have- never mind, Stiles is choking. Danny huffs and slaps him on the back and it's back to business as usual. Derek looks endearingly out of place with a plate full of pancakes and maple syrup as he sits at the head of the table. Lydia and Allison take their seats opposite the boys as Scott walks in with two plates of pancakes
"bon appetit!" He grins

They fall into a steady routine after that, they go to school and act like normal teenagers (as normal as they can get anyway) before heading out to Derek's to practice shooting, sparring or magic, they head home and run over strategy plans for when they find themselves fighting another group of vampires or pouring over lore books and the information Willow gave them while Stiles searches the internet for any information that could be of help, they do their chores, do homework before settling down to watch a movie (while Allison and Lydia have many make out sessions) before calling it a night.

It was a week before the full moon when Allison had a realisation, she and Stiles shared a free period so they were sat in their usual spot in the library, researching as always
"Stiles"
"Yeah?"

"Have you dreamt since that time we shared a dream with Danny?" Allison asked, Stiles wrinkled his face in thought
"...No" he shook his head after a moment and put the book down, leaning over the table and dropping his voice a level "You?"
"No"
"Has Danny?"
"I don't know, but that's weird right? I don't know about you but I had nightmares before all of this, and then the coma happened and the only dream I know I had was the one with you and Danny. That has to mean something right?" Allison asked, but Stiles' attention was focused solely on his phone.
"Danny hasn't dreamt since that night"
"One's an incident-" Allison began
"Yeah, we have a pattern" Stiles agreed "Okay, so the last time we can all remember dreaming is before your coma, after that it's nothing until the weird shared dream and we haven't dreamt since, so what's the connection?"
The pair fell into silence as they both racked their brains for ideas
"Oh my god" Allison's eyes widened in realisation
"What?"
"Lydia"
"What?!"
"Think about it! Before the coma we were all in our own houses and we dreamt as normal, I go into the coma and you all move in, Lydia included. We don't dream, Lydia leaves because of the fight we had and we dream, she comes back and it's back to no dreaming"
"So we don't dream when Lydia is around?"
"That's my bet" Allison frowned
"But why?"
Allison shrugged her shoulders "To hell if I know"
"We need to tell her"
"I already texted her" Allison held up her phone with a smile

"So I interfered with your dreams?" Lydia frowns when they meet her at lunch
"It seems that way" Allison replied as she rests her head against Allison's shoulder "Are you worried?"
"Should I be?" Lydia asked
"Maybe?" Allison replied honestly
"Oh well" Lydia shrugged, bouncing Allison's head off of her shoulder, she flashed Allison an apologetic smile "We'll just add it to the list of mysteries we have to solve"
"You're being awfully calm about this" Scott frowned, Lydia shrugs again and finds Allison's hand under the table
"If Allison can deal with being a descendant from a goddess and is at risk of being killed or becoming the greatest evil this world has ever known. I can deal with blocking your dreams"
"Jesus, Lydia thanks for the reminder" Allison rolled her eyes but kissed Lydia on the cheek regardless
"Lydia just realised that she isn't the centre of the universe" Stiles grinned, looking to the girl "You're all grown up" Lydia smiled back and flipped her hair over her shoulder
"Well she's the centre of my universe" Allison smiled
"Oh my god you dork" Lydia groaned, pulling Allison in for a kiss
