Something's Gotta Give (Fox At Heart Sequel)

Clever Fox

A small amount of Stalia up ahead.

Malia and Kyle glanced at each other, even if Stiles couldn't remember it wasn't hard to figure out if you put the pieces together. 

You'd been going after someone who could turn werewolves into monsters and when you awoke you were in the basement with no clothes and a large chain right next to you. 

It definitely wasn't rocket science but Stiles didn't say anything else and Kyle wondered if Stiles either already knew and didn't want to talk  about it or he was in denial and refusing to put the pieces of information together that clearly pointed to what had happened. 

So Kyle decided to focus on the other matter at hand "You said something about Riley?"

"She what?!" Kyle yelped after Malia explained and he quickly brought out his phone.

"I feel like I've missed a lot" Stiles muttered. 

"Yeah, everyone's gone to chase after her, she left in a car though and without the whistle we won't be able to control the mutated werewolves, right now they're busy fighting each other. We think it's because some of them want to follow ...the pack leaders orders still while others don't" Malia said, pausing on word pack leader, glancing at Stiles but he didn't seem to notice.

"Lucky that I know where she is then isn't it?" Kyle then said with a smirk, still looking at his phone.

"You do?" Malia asked, shocked.

Kyle snorted as he said "I knew we shouldn't trust her so I put a tracking device on her car, she wouldn't try to out run us on foot"

He showed them the map on his phone with a dot speeding down a highway. 

"She's so far away" Malia said disappointed.

"Not for long, I may have done something to her fuel as well" Kyle chuckled. 

"Clever fox" Stiles murmured, with an amused smile.

Kyle grinned at that but then he remembered what he had really wanted to do, once he realised what Stiles was becoming but... he didn't want the pack to know yet, if Stiles agreed that is.

"Why don't you go and find Scott to tell him that Stiles is okay but doesn't remember um certain events and that he doesn't need to worry about Riley?" Kyle asked her.

Malia didn't question his motives, in fact she looked excited to break the news to Scott and nodded eagerly before grabbing Stiles and giving him a big but quick kiss on the lips and with that she said grinning "See you!"

"See you" Stiles replied sounding a little breathless and surprised but happy with the kiss.

"Tell him we'll meet at Deatons place!" Kyle then shouted after her and she gave him the thumbs up as she ran away.

A strange silence seemed to fall into the air as soon as Malia was out of site and Stiles eyes locked into Kyles, who was looking at him a little suspiciously.

"Anything you want to say?" Kyle asked, raising his eyebrows at him.

"Um... no?" Stiles said sounding hesitant but then he added sounding to Kyle, a little too suspiciously eager "We're going to find Riley right?"

"Yeah, come on, follow me, we should wait for her next to the first gas station she'll come across" Kyle said, deciding to put away Stiles suspicious behaviour for now. 

They started to run, with Kyle leading the way. As they ran Kyle took a long time to finally say what was on his mind. 

What had been on his mind for a long time.

His stomach twisting anxiously.

"Stiles...I-I want to leave Beacon Hills for a while and I..." Just say it! He told himself as he hesitated, he closed his eyes for a couple of seconds when he was sure he wouldn't run into a tree and managed to blurt out "And I want you to come with me"

Stiles stopped running with him abruptly, his eyes widening and he frowned, could he have heard that right?

"What did you say?" He said, hoping he had heard Kyle wrong.

"You know I've had problems controlling myself and I know a safe area where I can go to learn proper control and Stiles, I think...you need to come with me too and not just because I want some company" Kyle said, bracing himself for Stiles reaction.

Stiles clenched his hands into firsts angrily as he growled "I don't need to learn control!"

"Your glowing eyes says differently" Kyle replied stiffly.

Stiles blinked a couple of times a look of surprise on his face, he hadn't even realised they'd turned silver for a couple of seconds!

But leaving everyone? After everything? He couldn't do that!

"Stiles...when you were completely lost to your instincts, if I hadn't been another Nogisune, you would have killed me when you woke up, wouldn't you?"

Stiles went to protest but thinking back on the incident where he had broken Kyles wrist which seemed to have already healed thankfully, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth.

Instead he looked down at the ground as he said his voice sounding a little broken "But I can't leave. I-I'll figure out control-"

Kyle shook his head as he said "It'll be a constant thing, not once every full moon when you were a werefox. You can feel it now right? The hunger won't go away. You'll be able lesson it to a degree but that's it"

Stiles still looked like he wanted to argue but he couldn't think up a response because he knew that Kyle was right but he couldn't do that, he couldn't.

But he didn't have any excuse...

His eyes flashed silver a couple of times as he tried to think up some sort of way to stay here without accidentally hurting the pack but nothing was coming to mind, why couldn't he think of something, anything?!

Seeing Stiles getting more agitated and knowing they needed to catch Riley fast and he was aware he was in fact he was slowing Stiles down, Kyle said grimly "You'll see what I mean soon. I'll let you handle Riley yourself, you won't need me anyway and you'll catch up to her faster than I can"

He handed Stiles the phone who took it hesitantly, looking down at the tracker on the phone, okey so all he had to do was prove he had control and he could stay?

That was easy to do?

Right?

He caught sight of the gas station and then se he moved closer he could see Riley walking back into her car.

His eyes slowly bled into a deep dark silver.
