Roadtrip - An AU Stalia Fanfiction

The Fair

"I think now would be a great time to let our friends know where we're headed."

Stiles says with a snicker.

Malia laughs, and Scott's phone buzzes during his next class. An ominous text from Stiles.

"Guess where we're headed??????"

"Hopefully you're headed back to school."

Scott texts in return.

"MCCALL!"

Coach Finstock shouted.

"NO PHONES!"

"Right. Sorry coach."

Scott mumbled, sliding his phone into his back pocket.

After half an hour of driving and obnoxious singing to the radio, Stiles and Malia pull into the parking lot of the local fair.

"Malia."

Stiles speaks when they pull to a stop.

"Come here take a picture with me so I can send it to Scott."

Malia agrees, giggling as they strike a pose and send it on.

Kira looked over at Scott in AP Biology.

His anger was through the roof.

"I swear to God, those two! I'm gonna--"

"What now?"

Kira whispered.

"It's Stiles. Acting childish."

Scott moans to Kira.

But as far as Malia and Stiles are concerned, the ferris wheel could get stuck and leave them hanging at the top indefinitely.

They hadn't felt this great since ages ago.

For Malia, it's amazing. She's sitting at the top of the Ferris Wheel with him, the love of her life, and eating a stick of cotton candy.

He has an arm wrapped around her.

Strangely, it almost felt as everything was right in the world for once.

Stiles bites into his hot dog and swears it's the best food he's had in days.

"Ah, Scott, that looks fun."

Kira gushes.

She's all for being responsible, but she's never been an a real date with Scott---and couldn't help but be slightly envious.

"As soon as school's out let's go join them."

She enthuses.

"We could use some fun too, Scott."

"No. No way I am not joining that."

Scott groaned.

They get off the Ferris wheel, and Stiles looks over at Malia.

He can tell she's having so much fun.

"Well, now that we're back on the ground what say we get
you some food?"

Stiles says with a big grin on his face.

"Or maybe not if we're going to try out the roller coaster. I'd hate to have you barf all over me."

"Please Stiles, if anyone is barfing its you. I can eat like an animal. Literally."

Malia joked, grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers. Usually he initiated gestures like this, but it just felt right.

They eventually settled at one of the picnic tables with tons of food.

They happily feed each other and just plain old have a great time.

Malia didn't care if they got into trouble for today.

She and Stiles had needed this time together to re-establish their bond and to just relax and be carefree.

She sensed they would need these memories in the days ahead.

She leans over and kisses him, smiling against his lips.

This was their calm before the storm.

She looked at him with soft eyes.

She knew that after this, they may never be okay again.
