And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
....................................................
When they stepped onstage, for the first time some people recognized them and cheered. There had been a group playing a few songs before them, and Stiles realized - that was the opening act. Lycanthropy was the main event.

All three of them were decked out in their finest performance garb, including a lot of leather and black.

Stiles approached Derek onstage and shook his hand, ignoring the butterflies pooled in his stomach, and Allison ran over to the older boy and gave him a hug, muttering something to the affect of "How are you?"

Once the band was all settled, they were off and rolling. They played their usual set, which had accumulated into a pretty long list over the year. Everyone cried when Stiles and Allison broke it down for their duet - especially when she let a few tears leak out herself. She loved Remembering Sunday, and thought that some of the words in her part pertained to her and Scott. It only helped the emotional aspect of the song, and her heart soared.

Lycanthropy added a few new songs to their set that day, including Living On A Prayer, Bulletproof Heart, and Gives You Hell. The biggest hit with the crowd however, was their take on the hit song Irresistible by Fall Out Boy and Demi Lovato.

When Stiles and Allison congregated at the mic, they both sported tensed guts and sweat on their brows. Normally, a performance wouldn't make them this nervous, but a song with such tight harmonies and tricky timing? Forget
about it.

They couldn't let it show, so when they started playing the intro, Allison danced along and even got Stiles moving a bit. As he sang his part, she stomped her foot to the beat and clapped along.

Coming in unannounced, drag my nails on the tile
I just followed your scent, you can just follow my smile

He was spitting out the lyrics quickly and with intensity. Allison whipped her wild hair around, Scott smashed on his drums, and Derek grinned at Stiles from his keyboard.

And this one might be a battle, might not turn out okay
You know you look so Seattle, but you feel so LA

Allison joined in with her harmonies, still plucking hungrily away at her bass while striding confidently back to join Stiles at center stage.

They all fell silent as Stiles delivered the next line alone.

And I love the way you hurt me

Scott smashed on his drums, and they were off and running again.

It's irresistible, yeah
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you hurt me, baby

Allison's harmonies were loud and clear as bells over Stiles, and they were smiling and dancing at each other.

I'm gonna get you to burst just like you were a bubble
Frame me up on your wall just to keep me out of trouble
Like a moth getting trapped in the light by fixation
Truly free, love it baby, I'm talking no inflation
