Roadtrip - An AU Stalia Fanfiction

Wake Up Call

Henry Tate was getting ready for work when he first saw them.

They were sprawled out on the couch, all tangled up in each other. Not surprisingly, a Star Wars movie was playing on the television in the background.

Stiles had one arm wrapped around Malia, the other dangling off of the side of the couch. His hand was intertwined with hers.

Snack wrappers were strewn about along with soda cans and a large pizza Henry didn't remember ordering.

He smiled. They looked so peaceful.

Henry made sure to leave two bowls of Fruit Loops on the counter with a quick note, and was off for work.

Stiles groaned when he felt Malia start to move under his arm.

"Sti?"

She murmured confused, and he mumbled back gibberish in response.

He was still at the Tate household it seemed. Not surprising after the way they'd hit it off the night before. He had a slight headache, likely from lack of sleep. They had been up pretty late.

"What time is it?"

Malia grumbled sleepily, reaching for her phone and squirming out of Stiles's embrace.

"Shit."

Stiles heard her curse under her breath.

"What?"

Stiles whined, trying to pull her close to him again. Her warmth was pleasing, and it made him feel safer and happier.

She showed him her phone screen.

Ten texts. Five missed calls. Scott. Kira. Lydia. Liam. His Dad.

"What's going on?"

Stiles asked abruptly with a worried tone, sitting upright.

"Not that Stiles."

Malia pointed at the time.

Noon. Late for school.

Stiles fell back into the couch's pillows with a moan of agony.

"That's just great."

Malia's face came into view.

"Well at least you're with me. A little skipping never hurt nobody."

She whispered to him, a smirk playing on her lips.

"At least tell them we're okay."

Stiles told her, trying to hide his own growing smile.

He sat up and watched over her shoulder as she texted, kissing it tenderly. Soon enough Malia put down her phone and turned back to him with a playful visage.

"So Mister. How do you fathom we are gonna explain this one?
