Baby|| Stiles Stilinski

35

"So how was your little sleep over with Stiles?" Danny asked with a grin as he and Baby left the classroom. It had been one of the only classes Baby didn't share with any of his pack mates and he liked to use the time to catch up with Danny.

"How did you know I sleep over Stiles' house?" Baby asked.

Danny rolled his eyes and elbowed a few people out of the way as they headed to their lockers. "You're wearing the same jeans as yesterday and have your shirt from yesterday in your backpack along with a toothbrush. Obviously you didn't sleep at home". He grinned at his deduction. "So, was it good? I mean he's a virgin and all, was just really awkward?"

"Danny!" Baby gasped, shoving his laughing best friend lightly. "No! We didn't do that. We just cuddled".

"I would make fun of you for that but that is actually adorable", Danny sniggered as he pulled out his lunch box. Baby opened his locker and shoved his bag. He retrieved his thermos for the day and a sandwich he had brought from a gas station earlier.

"We are so freaking adorable", he grinned. Danny rolled his eyes.

"So is sex something you guys do? Or is it not like that?"

Baby could feel the blood rushing to his ears. Danny crowed triumphantly at the redness. "Ooo you're blushing baby".

"I should just stop feeding and let my heart stop", Baby muttered.

Danny huffed at him in disappointment. "Baby. When you don't feed, your heart stops pumping to conserve blood. I know that it doesn't kill you but it's still jot healthy dude. You get all corpse like and pasty. It's just disgusting. Please keep feeding regularly. I don't want to be seen with a corpse and I'm pretty sure that Stiles isn't into necrophilia".

"Fuck you", Baby scowled but it was tugging at the edges.

Danny wriggled his eyebrows. "Sorry but I have a boyfriend who I am going to meet for lunch. See you later". He waved as he walked off down the corridors. Baby flicking two fingers up at his back.

"Still not an insult here!" Danny' voice echoed back.

"That's cause you Americans are uneducated!" Baby shouted. He then paused as everyone in the hall stared at him. He shrugged. "I said what I said". Then he strolled off to find his pack.

"Oc au so what happens to a person who has a near death experience- hi Baby!- and comes out seeing things?" Scott asked as Baby sat down next to Stiles. The two of them shifted up to make room on the picnic bench and Baby dropped his thermos and sandwich on the table. Lydia, Allison and Isaac sat opposite. All of them taking advantage of the sun and the mostly empty courtyard. Baby pressed his nose to Stiles' cheek for a second in greeting before tearing at the sandwich packaging.

"And is unable to tell what's real or not", Stiles added.

"And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?" Alison sighed.

"They're all locked up because they're insane", Issac stated.

Stiles just looked at him. "Ha. Could you at lest try to be helpful please?"

"For half my childhood I was locked in a freezer"-

"Oh god".

"-so being helpful is kind of a new thing for me".

"Okay are we still milking that?" Stiles sighed.

"We are still milking that".

"For five years of my childhood I was a kidnap victim of a psychotic vampire", Baby voiced, slightly muffled by his sandwich. "Then my parents tried to murder me and I spent my teenage years doing a Harry Potter and pretending not to exist". He shrugged and took another bite. Everyone was staring at him. "What? I thought we were talking about shitty childhoods".

"Dude", Isaac said. "That's harsh". He held up his hand and he and Baby leaned over the high five across the table.

"Well that was slightly weird but strangely cute", Stiles commented.

"Hi", a new voice interrupted. They all turned as one to see the new girl, Kira Yukimura standing next to the table. She was fidgeting nervously with her notebook, smiling politely. "Hi sorry. I couldn't help overhearing what you guys were talking about and I think I actually might know what your talking about". She paused but no one interrupted so she continued. "There's a Tibetan word for it. It's called "bardo". It  literally means in between state. The state between life and death".

"And what do they call you?" Lydia asked.

"Kira", Scott spoke up. "She's in our history class". Kira flashed him a thankful smile.

"So your talking bardo in Tibetan Buddhism or Indian?" Lydia eyed her distrustfully.

"Either I guess", Kira shrugged. She sat down next to Baby despite the fact that there wasn't much room on the bench. Baby wrinkled his nose at the strong static smell and shuffled up so he was pressed against Stiles. The dark haired boy immediately wrapped and arm around Baby's waist to pull him closer.

"All that happens in bardo. There are different progressive states where you can have hallucinations, some you see, some you just hear. And you can be visited by peaceful and wrathful deities", Kira explained.

"Wrathful deities", Isaac repeated. "And what are those?"

"Like demons".

"Demons", Stiles echoed. "Why not?" He tightened his grip on Baby's waist. The cold body next to him calming him down.

"Hold on, if there are different progressive states, then what's the last one?" Allison spoke up.

Kira smiled, not knowing that what they were talking about wasn't hypothetical. "Death. You die".

Baby let out a low whistle as he unscrewed the lid of his thermos. "Is that tomato soup?" Kira asked. He paused, the blood halfway to his mouth.

"Yeah".

"Oh, nice. I should try packing soup for lunch. Why is it so dark?"

"Uh", Baby blinked, mouth open and thermos still half raised.

"Beetroot", Stiles cut in. He grinned widely, obviously trying hard not to laugh. Isaac snorted loudly. "Yeah Baby loves to have beetroot and tomato soup for lunch. He has it practically everyday". The group began sniggering as Kira blinked in confusion.

"Yeah it's an old family recipe", Lydia added with a smirk. "There's a secret ingredient to it".

"Yeah", Isaac giggled. "It's something he can always B Positive about". Baby kicked him under the table.

"Ignore them", he murmured to Kira, who was looking very confused. "Your surname is Yukimura isn't it? Is your mum Noshiko Yukimura?"

"Yes", Kira looked like she was out of her depth, highly confused by them all.

"Oh. Cool. Tell her that I said hi", Baby nodded as he drained the last of his thermos. Stiles immediately handed him a mint chewing gum from his pocket and Baby began chewing happily.

Unedited

Someone wanted a bit more explaining of Vampires in this book. Basically if they're well feed (everyday) then they look and seem human. But if they don't feed for a few days then their heart stops and they begin to look more and more like the vampires you see in Dracula. (Not twilight). They basically become more monsters us and animalistic, like omega Wolves do when they don't have a pack.
