A Chance

3 a.m

Malia's phone vibrated and she couldn't have picked it up fast enough. The biggest smile crossed her face as she read Stiles' lame excuse for a message. She thought about calling him for about 5 seconds and then just did it.
"Uh hello..." Stiles said sounding confused, he hated answering unknown calls
"Is this Stiles?"
"Uh yeah it is. Is this...Malia?"
Malia laughed and Stiles couldn't stop smiling, he did really like her contagious laugh.
"Your message made me laugh you know, I've never known a person who can make a text awkward." Malia said jokingly
"Uh yeah...my bad..." Stiles said rubbing the back of his neck "so uh, what are you doing?"
"Nothing really, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to come get you"
Malia didn't respond and there was just silence.
"Uh shit, no, that's clearly not okay, sorry" Stiles said sounding like an apologetic idiot.
"No, it's fine, I'll wait outside for you"
"Oh, uh, okay, yeah, 10 minutes, uh see you then"

Malia's POV
As I stood there looking in the mirror, fussing with my hair and deciding I didn't actually like the outfit I was wearing, I thought why do I care if Stiles doesn't like my hair? Or my outfit? He's just a guy, Stiles- goofy, awkward Stiles. He won't mind me like this, I bet he's just wearing something simple too. I'll be fine. Yes, Malia you look fine. Go outside.
A text from Stiles
"I'm outside, come down"
I couldn't help stop my smile that stretched from ear to ear. I'm so happy right now.

Stiles POV
When Malia came walking out her front door, she looked so beautiful, even though she clearly didn't put in much effort. She didn't need it. Her hair was in a messy bun, she was wearing jeans and a hoody- completely effortless. I smiled and opened the door for her.
"So where do you wanna go? I know it's like-"
"11:53...you really can pick a good time to go out Stilinski" Malia said laughing whilst putting her seatbelt on.
"Yeah well, I wanted to see you again, I know where we can go"
I don't know what it is, but when I look at her, I get butterflies and all I want to do is smile. I look at her and it feels like I've known her for ever. I know it's cheesy but it's true. It's strange because I never believed in love at first sight but I don't know anymore.

They had been driving for 15 minutes, talking about how they're day had been.
"I stayed home to recover from lastnight." Lies. "I don't even remember how I got home, did you take me?" Malia asked
"Yeah, I did that too, didn't leave bed until the afternoon." Lies again. "Yeah, wasn't going to leave you laying on the grass." Stiles replied, looking at her instead of the road.
Neither of them was going to admit that they had gone over to their bestfriends house to talk about what had happened the night before and how all they did was talk about eachother so they just lied. Simple.

"So where are we going?" Malia asked tilting her head and smiling at Stiles.
"Don't, don't do that, I need to concentrate." He replied, smiling, looking quickly at Malia and then back at the road. "I'm taking you somewhere me and my mom used to go, it's this hill, cliff kinda thing, we used to lay there and look at the sky or we'd sit with our feet over the edge, it's beautiful."

Stiles POV
I love coming here, it makes me feel close to my mom, I miss her everyday and I'd give anything to see her again but I guess I'm lucky to have our special place where I can come and talk to her.
"Wow it really is beautiful up here!" Malia said walking around admiring her surroundings.
"Yeah, it is." I said leading her to sit on the edge.
"So why did you want to come here Mr.Stiliiiinski?"
"Well, I wanted to bring the girl that makes my heart rate to meet my mom in a way." I said with a faint smile as i said that my heart broke a tiny bit because my mom couldn't actually meet Malia, she would have liked her.
Malia just looked at me and held my hand, I figured she understood that mom was dead and she didn't want to say anything unless she said something wrong? I appreciated it.
We sat there in silence for awhile just taking in the view, she was still holding my hand and it was getting sweaty but I didn't want to let go.
"Hey, Stiles?" Malia said quietly
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for bringing me to meet your mom" Malia smiled and I smiled back.
Malia got up letting go of my hand, and then wiping down her jeans.
"Come on, I want to take you somewhere now" she said putting her hand out for me to take a hold of.
"What? It's like 2:30"
"Come on Mr. Come-out-at-11:57" Malia yelled as she ran to the drivers set of my jeep.
"MALIA!!!" I chased after her, only I sit in the drivers seat!
------------
"Hey give me the keys, I'm driving" Malia said winking at Stiles.
"Uh, no you're not! No one else drives my jeep, ever. Just me." Stiles snapped.
"Pleaseeeeeee" Malia whined looking at Stiles pouting her lip and flashing her big brown eyes. He caved.
"Fine." He sighed handing his keys over. Malia smiled in her victory.
"So I uh changed my mind, it's 3 now so we'll just go back to mine instead, I'm tired." She started the car and drove them to her house.
