"I can't do this right now" Lydia said trying to calm down. She had been rescued from being locked up in Eichen House. Stiles had saved her and she was still affected by it all to be thinking clearly.

"No Lydia, we need to talk about it" Stiles said running his fingers through his hair messing it up. "I almost lost you, AGAIN." he screamed. "And I wouldn't ever forgive myself if something happened to you and I never told you this."

"Stiles, don't" Lydia said knowing what was coming and not being sure if she wanted to hear it.

"NO LYDIA, YOU KISSED ME" he dropped. "YOU KISSED ME ALRIGHT? And even though you said it was to stop my stupid panic attack I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since." he said looking deep into her eyes, losing himself in those green eyes he knew so well. "And what hurts me the most is that we never got to talk about it and it's like it never happened! I don't think I even told Scott and I'm losing my mind because it's not like we did anything wrong but I don't know how to feel!" he said again covering his face trying to hold back the tears.

"When exactly do you wanted to talk about it Stiles?" She said getting up from his bed, rising her voice. "While your dad's life was on the line? Or later when you were possessed by an ancient Japanese demon? Or later when you stared dating Malia? Or when random people were trying to kill me to get some money? Or when Theo came around putting me in a catatonic state in Eichen? Tell me when exactly you think it was a great timing because I'd love to know!" She said screaming, not being able to hold her tears back as well as he did. "Why are we talking about it now anyway? With a beast running around trying to kill us all again?" she asked frustrated.

"Because right now is better than never Lydia, that's why! Precisely because a beast is trying to kill us all, it's time to talk about it before it's too late." he stepped forward, getting closer to her ending up sitting on his bed.

"But what about Malia?" Lydia asked sitting right beside him. She had been in Eichen for a while so she didn't know a thing about what happened outside those white walls.

"We kind of broke up, I guess" he sighed. "After what happened with Donovan and Scott and Theo it was too much and... I don't know. She was looking for her mum behind my back and I was looking for you." he said looking her way, noticing a slight blush in her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Stiles, I really am" she said reaching out for his hand and squeezing it.

"Don't be. I think it was meant to happen anyway." he said trying to smile. "Besides, she knew"

"About Donovan?" she asked. Lydia knew because she got the feeling when she went to the library before Theo took her but she knew as well he didn't even tell Scott that's why they fought.

"That too. But she knew about you." he turned his face to look at her from up close.

"What do you mean? Of course she knew about me! It's not like she didn't know me" she said very confused.

"Jez, are you honestly gonna make me say it?" he asked giving her a sad smile which made her feel even more confused about it.

"I honestly don't know what you're talking about Stiles" she said a bit worried.

"Lydia" he sighed. "I'm in love with you. I always have been and Malia knew. Everyone knew really. I told you at prom, remember?" he smiled remembering that night when he finally earned her trust. Remembering the moment when he thought he'd lost her because of Peter.

"I do remember but I thought you were over that already. It's been, how long? 2 years? A lot has happened since that day" she said feeling overwhelmed.

"How could I ever? I've been in love with you since freaking 3rd grade and seeing you every day didn't really help me. I thought with Malia I could finally move on and I almost did but when I saw you bleeding out on the precinct's floor, the idea of losing you was too much for me and I panicked. You told me you were fine but you weren't Lyds and I..." he started tearing up. "I was losing my mind not being able to help you." he looked at her through a curtain of tears. He took a breath and carried on. "I think that's when she noticed, even though she wasn't there but after that nothing was the same and when you were locked in Eichen I swore I was going to get you out of there. I was going to save you from that hell because I know how it is and nobody deserves that, you the least of them all."

"Thank you" she whispered. She was totally speechless. What was she supposed to answer to that?

"Thank you? That's it?" he stood up, rising his voice with him.

"What am I supposed to say?" she screamed getting up as well. "That I'm in love with you too? That I wasn't expecting to fall for you when I kissed you but I did? That every minute after that kiss all I wanted to do was be with you but Malia showed up? That I was dying every time I saw you together? That I wished things were easier and we didn't have to be worried about dying all the time and we could be together? Because I do, all of it, I do Stiles!" she screamed at him not realizing she was hyperventilating, red with a mix of rage and embarrassment but her breathing wasn't slowing down after all. "Well, what are you..." she started saying but suddenly he grabbed her face and pressed his lips against hers closing his eyes. At first Lydia was surprised but she closed her eyes and started to put her arms around his neck, pulling him closer not wanting the moment to end, but it did. He broke their touch and smiled at her.

"Who held their breath now?" he said, making her laugh and she kissed him again. She kissed him for all those days she had been dying to and he kissed her for all the years he thought it would never happen. And even though a beast was running lose around Beacon Hills the only ones running around in that room were their hearts.
