Just Tell Me The Truth

Chapter Four

Stiles' POV

Unpacking my bag while in the room Isaac and I will be sharing I see Isaac is just laying on the bed with his arms behind his head. I look up to where he's staring and only find the ceiling, sighing quietly I realize that he's probably feeling just as lonely as I am. Neither of us can be with person we want to be with and it really sucks. Tossing my bag to the floor I walk over to the pouting beta. 

I nudge him softly. "Roll over boy."

Isaac glares up at me but quickly cracks a smile. "Really? Dog puns still?"

I shrug as I take a place next to him on the twin sized bed. "What can I say? I rely on my sense of humor and quick whipped sarcasm, it's all I have to defend myself other than a bat."

I can feel Isaac's body vibrate against mine as he chuckles out, "Well thank God for that, I guess."

My face turns so I can make eye contact with him. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

He looks back at the ceiling, eyes briefly flashing gold. "I miss her, man."

My heart clenches for him and I throw my arm around his chest and he snuggles into me. "I'm sorry you have to feel like this, Isaac. I'd take the pain if I could."

His chest rises and falls unevenly, letting me know he's most likely silently sobbing. "It's okay, I think I like feeling the pain. It reminds me that she was real. She was really here and that's all that matters."

I nod while rubbing his side before suggesting, "If you want, we can push the beds together so we can cuddle at nights?"

He finally releases a real laugh while nodding through the new tears spilling onto his neck. "Yeah, I'd like that buddy."

Walking down the stairs I see Scott and Jackson fixing there lacrosse sticks and I give them questioning eyes. "You guys heading to practice some?"

Jackson looks up at me while Scott nods, still fixing his stick. "Yeah, wanna join Stilinkski?"

I chuckle at him using my last name still, even after everything we've been though. "Sure, just let me go get my stick."

Scott then speaks up finally by asking, "Why was there loud scraping noises coming from your room earlier?"

I give him a shrug while admitting, "Isaac and I put our beds together so we can cuddle."

They both give me shocked faces and finally Jackson cracks a laugh out. "I had no idea either of you swung that way."

Scott gives Jackson a weird look before stating, "Stiles isn't into guys, trust me."

I clear my throat which makes them both look at me. "Actually, I swing both ways for your information, but Isaac and I only did it so that we both wouldn't feel so lonely at night. It helps a little with the nightmares to hold someone, you know."

Scott gives me sad eyes then stands up to place a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry bro, I wasn't thinking about that. You know I'd cuddle with you if we were roommates right?"

I can't help but chuckle and pat his arm. "No offense Scott, but your all muscle and you snore way too loud for me."

"Jackson if I catch you throwing Stiles in the air one more time, I will rip your throat out!" I can hear Derek screaming from the porch from my position in the front yard, laying on my back trying to catch my breath. 

I see Jackson and Scott running to me with Scott yelling out, "Stiles, are you okay?"

Jackson is going on and on about how he forgot how much stronger he was than me. I let them pull me to my feet as I explain, "It's okay, I'm used to werewolves throwing me around at this point!"
