Stiles Stilinski Imagines

The gifts - December 2021

Stiles' phone rang and he hurried to find it. You finished putting the things you'd need in your bag and grabbed a few reusable ones from the hallway cupboard. "Hey. I don't think I'm going to be able to go with you."

"Another emergency?" You asked him. Stiles nodded and sighed. He grabbed his jacket and kissed your cheek.

"Hey. I left a list of stuff...um I think it's on the kitchen table. Would you be able to pick something up for them?" Stiles asked and winced as he asked. You nodded and he looked relieved, grinning at you as he gave you a thumbs up and hurried off. You chuckled to yourself as you went to get the list. Looking down it you saw that you, Theo and Parrish were the only ones who hadn't gotten a gift. Lydia was at the top and crossed off already. For a moment you felt a twinge of hurt but shook it off and hurried to the store. You'd gotten Stiles a small gift. It was something he'd wanted for a while and mentioned a couple of times. But you decided you'd get him another gift. When Stiles came home that evening he looked tired. He was grateful when you told him you'd ordered food in as he pulled off his shoes and shrugged his jacket off. You could see slowly melting snowflakes on his shoulders as he hung it up. As you made your way into the living room, following him, you turned the heating up a little. He was snuffling as you went to your basket of blankets and pulled on out, throwing it over him.

"I got the last of your gifts." You muttered.

"Oh! Great. Thank you. Sorry I couldn't make it." Stiles said. His eyes were falling closed. He'd texted you an hour ago that he was on his way back. You'd been a little worried with how late he'd been until he texted.

"I also got you an early gift." You said as you got up off the sofa and grabbed the gift that you'd put on one of the side tables. Stiles gave you a tired smile as he took it, eyed you suspiciously and then opened it. Inside was a neatly wrapped gift with a label that said 'To (Y/N), love from Stiles.' He laughed and looked at you.

"Well you've been so busy and my name was on the list so..." You trailed off and took the gift, quickly adding it with your pile of gifts for people. "I knew you'd forget, so my gift to you is a gift for you to give me." You said quickly. Stiles smiled as you came back to the sofa and you let him pull you close for a kiss.

"Thank you. But full disclosure I got you one really big present and forgot to cross your name off." Stiles admitted. You laughed and he continued insisting that he had. There was a knock at the door and you went to answer it, getting the food that the delivery man was holding. Stiles hurried to help you with the food and, upon seeing the shivering young man on the doorstep, slapped an extra twenty into his hand and wished him a happy holiday. His face lit up as he wished you both on your back and hurried off.

"So this big gift? How big is it because I only got you a little one?" You asked as you took the food to the kitchen to dish it out.

"Oh no. This year is my year to give you a great gift. Don't bother asking Scott either because he won't tell and we didn't let Liam know so, you will just have to wait." Stiles grinned victoriously and laughed as he grabbed his plate and hurried off into the living room. He switched the tv on and made himself comfy under the blanket as he patted the spot next to him.
