Secret Love

__How it all began__

Stiles's mind returned to the present when he heard a loud honking noise behind him. He noticed that the light was green and proceeded to press down on the gas. Stiles soon arrived at the large secluded lake house and parked the car. He glanced around the house and noticed only one room had its lights on. Stiles knew that room very well as it was the same room that contained the switch to turn off the benefactors supernatural hit list and designed by Lydia's grandmother for banshee reasons. After the incident Lydia's mother was never able to sell the house and both mother and daughter ended up fixing it. Lydia had claimed the sound proof room and made it into her bedroom but she mainly used it as a studio. She worked on relaxing and drawing to remain sane in the life they were all living. Stiles entered the house with the spare key that was hidden underneath a brick in the wall. He called out to see if anyone else was in the house and confirmed it was completely empty. Stiles then headed up the stairs to the room he knew she was in.

On his walk up the stairs and down the hall he reminisced on how their current predicament had risen again. It was on some idle, warm night. The mending group decided to meet up at the school library and research together their assigned English topics. The majority had topics based on health or environmental issues except for Stiles and Lydia who had argued with their professors to allow them to do theirs paper on a more challenging topic to which they won. Both had decided to do their papers on the comparison of their current law penalties and that of the ancient world. As Stiles and Lydia had gone down to the archives labeled ancient history they discussed the many possible ways that the ancient people killed their criminals compared to the more humanitarian ways they did now but when Lydia said, "Parrish asked me to move in with him," it hadn't been anything to do with modern or ancient punishment. After those words left Lydia's lips Stiles had stopped walking down the hall. They both stood in the middle of rows filled with books and no one around to over hear or interrupt such conversation. Stiles then proceeded to scratch the back of his head in an nervous manner and gave her his congratulations.

Lydia just looked at him with her big green eyes and in a speed that would impress coach tugged his head down to her level and proceeded to kiss him senseless. If anyone ever asked he would deem that very moment the most arousing make out session of his entire existence. At first Stiles had kissed back with the equal amount of passion until he remembered it was wrong to be kissing a woman that wasn't his. He tried in vain to push her off of him but when it came to Lydia fricken Martin he was powerless. They finally separated when the need of air became to much and Lydia settled with just holding him tightly.

"I'm relentlessly and irremediably in love with you M..."

Before she could get out his first name he covered her mouth and conveyed with his eyes to not call him that. So she just hugged him tighter and pulled away from his warmth but continued to hold his hand as she restated her previous statement.

She cleared her throat and proclaimed confidently," I've become relentlessly and irremediably in love with you Stiles Stilinski."

Stiles wrapped his arms around her small body and informed her that he doesn't believe she doesn't already know how he feels about her but if she had any doubt then he proclaimed," And I've been madly in love with you since the third fricken grade and nothing has or could ever change that Lydia Martin." They held each other as she had silent tears going down her face for being torn between what to do. However she knew the right thing so in a whisper that was clear as day she told him, "We can in no shape or form tell them." Stiles was shocked and confused as to why they couldn't if they loved each other as much as he believed they did. Seeing his face she further elaborated by stating, "The pack is just getting back together if we do tell them now then it will destroy them. Everyone will be divide as Scott would surely side with us and be truly happy but Kira is a tad more close to Malia so she would side with her and that'll cause some tension in her relationship with Scott. I refuse to be the reason to destroy our mending friendship and be the cause of tension between our friends relationship. I know you wouldn't want that either." He sighed and with a heavy heart accepted as he knew it was the best thing for all of them. So with a determined resolution he looked at Lydia and said, "I love you so much it hurts so for the good of the pack we'll keep it a secret."
