Secret Love

__Reality of lies__

Entering the school parking lot Stiles and Lydia released each other's hands as Stiles parked his jeep in a secluded spot. Looking herself in the mirror one last time Lydia got ready to get out of the car but felt Stiles grabbed her arm tightly before she could even open the door. Looking back at him with a questioning expression Lydia opened her plump lips to ask him what was wrong but felt Stiles's other rough hand cup her cheek and his soft lips land on hers. Stiles's urge to kiss her quickly before they had to return to their reality of lies was to urgent that it escalated quickly into an intense open mouth make out session. Lydia tugged at his hair and bottom lip making Stiles let out a groan from her actions as she finally pulled away from him. Opening the passenger door she slipped out swiftly and headed into the school. Alone in his car Stiles waited until his panting subdued and checked she hadn't left any evidence of her lipstick on his own lips. Seeing he was clear of any evidence of their heated make out session Stiles opened the glove compartment and took out the colon bottle Lydia had bought him two weeks ago to hide her smell. As he walked into Beacon Hills High School Stiles made his way towards his locker. Groaning out when he saw Scott already waiting for him, Stiles ended up walking faster in order to get the yelling over with. "Scott", Stiles says in acknowledgment when he sees Scott starting to open his mouth. "You look like shit buddy and that's putting it lightly", continued Stiles.

Scott himself looked pissed but relaxed as he spoke, "Of course I do, when I've spent the whole entire fucking day of yesterday worrying about my brother and his we're abouts what do you expect?" Taking a deep breath Scott continued, "Where the hell were you dude I was fearing the dread doctors or Theo had grabbed you at some point." Taking out his English book from his locker Stiles gave a pointed look at Scott and proclaimed, "I'm not as helpless as you think I am Scott. I can take care of myself without needing to be any mystical creature you know." "I know that Stiles it's just I do worry about you. I mean everyone was accounted for this weekend except for you yesterday and Lydia but I had already gone by earlier to check on her last Friday. Her mother said she had gone to the lake house for the weekend and would be back on Monday so I knew she was perfectly fine. It was just your random disappearance yesterday that got me edgy," Scott said with frustration. Glancing at the time Stiles knew he had to get to class quickly if he didn't want to be late. Therefore, Stiles explained swiftly, "I told you already. I just needed space from every one of you guys so I went to my safe haven. Before you start, no, I will not tell you where that's at, I'm not compromising it. But I'll tell you this buddy it's a place that helps me breath and makes me happy. It's somewhere I don't need to hide or pretend I'm something I'm not. It makes my life feel perfect and complete. It's home Scott and maybe right now you don't understand but when the time comes you will."

Hearing the bell ring Stiles turned around and left down the hall into his classroom leaving Scott alone to ponder what he said to him. When lunch time rolled around the group met at their usual lunch table. Scott sat next to Kira but across from Stiles who sat next to Malia leaving Lydia to sit at the head of the table in between Scott and Stiles. Having started a conversation over everyone's weekend Kira looked at Lydia and couldn't help comment how relaxed and glowy she looked. Blushing hard but with a strong confidence only Lydia Martin possessed she gave her thanks and continued to say how well one night at the lake house can be. With that Stiles changed the conversation quickly before he himself would start to flush red at the reminder of the night and morning they shared together. That's why he changed the subject to what they were going to do about the dread doctors, la bete and Theo's pack. Malia spoke up saying, "Why don't we just accept Theo's offer and join together to defeat them?"

At that Stiles spoke up outraged, "After what he did to Lydia, my dad, and this pack you want us to just work with them. Hell no." Seeing him so mad Lydia grabbed his hand underneath the table and gently squeezed it to help anchor him. Clearing his throat Scott spoke up, "Look Malia is right if we want to beat la bete then we're going to have to work together. I understand how you feel Stiles and I don't like it either but we have to think of the town and how they're going to be impacted if we don't. I give you my word that as soon as la bete is taken care of we can deal with Theo and what he did to Lydia and your father okay." This time it was Malia who growled out, "Are you guys serious! We have a problem with a beast out there and you guys want to go after Theo because of her. I understand his dad but Lydia can take care of herself and her hell hound can avenge her if he wants. You two shouldn't have to. You [points at Scott] are dating Kira and You [looking at Stiles] are dating me so you should be more preoccupied with the desert wolf then what Theo did to red over here.
