This wasn't how it was supposed to have happened or really who he imagined sharing it with, but he he wasn't supposed to be possessed either. At the time it had happened he hadn't really been thinking and he had had a good chance of dying so of course he hadn't been thinking about the consequences. Not that he wished it hadn't happened, although he did wish that it had happened a little later when he was a little older and a bit more prepared for this kind of thing.
He was graduating today, it should have been the most important day of his life so far. However it seemed unimportant not with everything else in his life, the wolves, the kanima's and the durachs and... Claudia. He finished tying his tie in front of the mirror accenting his black suit nicely as he turned around and saw Malia walk into the room. Malia smiled at him and kissed him softly before brushing his hair back with her palm. She was wearing a nice red dress and Stiles smiled back at her. Due to her spending most of her life as a coyote she wasn't graduating today but she was working on getting her GED and she'd probably get it in the next year or two after everything calmed down.
"You look great." she said and Stiles turned to the mirror. He never thought that this would be his life, never in a million years engaged to a were-coyote, and Claudia...she was definitely something that he hadn't been expecting.
"What are you thinking about?" Malia asked and Stiles turned back around to face her.
"I never thought this was how my life would go." he said and Malia nodded looking a little more sober.
"Yeah me neither." Stiles looked her over concerned she still went through periods of grief and guilt about her family. So did he, but her guilt was more powerful then his, but she just waved her hand.
"I'm fine." she insisted "It's just I still miss them." Stiles nodded his understanding knowing that pain might get better it never really went away.
"Are you disappointed?" Maila asked suddenly and Stiles frowned not understanding her question.
"That everyone else is going to go off to college?" she clarified and Stiles shook his head.
"I'm going to go." he insisted "just might take a little longer is all." he insisted and Malia smiled slightly.
"Still..." her smile faded.
"Still what?" he asked not liking the way she had said still.
"If it hadn't been for me-" Stiles interrupted her before she could get any further he put his hand on her face and turned it towards him so that he could make sure that she understood what he was saying.
"You helped save me Malia, and you save me everyday." he said earnestly she didn't look convinced.
