Man-eater
"I just don't understand why we had to invite him" Stiles groaned as he grabbed another handful of chips from the bowl in front of him. Lydia groaned, pulling the bowl away from Stiles before turning away to grab another bag of chips from her shopping bag, "I don't like him"
"Please Stiles, you're lucky he is even giving you a second chance after what you did" Lydia muttered as she opened another bag and pouring it into another bowl in front of her. Aurora looked away as the words left Lydia's mouth. Friday night was the last thing she wanted to think about. She stayed quiet as Lydia and Stiles continued their argument.
"Please" Stiles rolled his eyes, shifting around on his chair, "I know he is up to something; you believe me Aurora?" Stiles looked over at Aurora, it was the first time that he had noticed that she hadn't spoken. He watched her for a second, she looked distracted. Aurora blinked for a moment before she looked at him before sending him a small sad smile.
"Yeah" Her voice was soft which caused Stiles to furrow his eyebrows. He opened his mouth to say something, but Lydia stopped him.
"Right, well I am going to get changed before everyone gets here" Lydia turned to Aurora, "Make sure Stiles doesn't eat any of the snacks before everyone gets here" Aurora gave her a quick nod before she collected her clothes and heading up to Aurora's room to change.
"Alright" Stiles stated as Aurora made her way back into the kitchen, "What's up with you?" Aurora looked over at Stiles who shuffled around in his chair.
"Nothing's up" Aurora let out a dry laugh before grabbing a hold of one of the bowls of chips and heading into the living room. Stiles quickly followed after her.
"Something is most definitely up" Stiles tried his best to keep up with her as she continued to set up before everyone arrived, "Is this about the other night?" Aurora stopped what she was doing for a moment, she closed her eyes as she felt her heart sink. She knew Stiles had good intentions, but this was not the best time to unravel her emotions. She felt his hand on her shoulder as he turned her to face him.
"Can we please get through tonight, and I promise you we can talk about it" Nothing else needed to be said, Stiles understood the tone of her voice. She wasn't mad, nor was she annoyed but tired. There was a sinking feeling in Stiles' chest as he realised something was in fact up with her. He raked over his mind trying to think of something he had done to upset her. He truly liked hanging out with Aurora and the last thing he wanted was to have ruined their growing friendship with his silly obsessive actions. Stiles Nodded.
"Okay" They looked at each other for a moment before he rolled his eyes dramatically, "You can't tell me that you actually want Theo here, right?" Aurora laughed, thankful that Stiles was moving on from the topic. She turned away from him and begun heading into the kitchen.
