Past Returns

Scott woke with a start. Kira stirred next to him, rolling over and placing her head on his chest. Scott kissed her forehead gently, and listened. There it was again! He heard the soft tapping again. He glanced at Kira, falling asleep. He looked at the loft door. Someone was trying to get in! He heard voices outside the door. "It doesn't matter, just go in! They'll be sleeping, we have to wake them up." Another voice. "The amount of times I have made the mistake of walking in on Scott, I'm not going in there until he opens the door." Scott smirked. It was Stiles and Derek, fighting as usual. He put his head back on the pillow, hoping to get a bit more sleep. They started knocking louder and louder, until Scott just couldn't bear it any longer. Just as he sat up to open the door, there was a large grating sound as Derek flung the door open. Kira sat up with a start, frightened and shivering. Scott looked at her, jumped and quickly pulled the sheet up. Derek covered his eyes. "Sorry Scott. I, uh, kinda needed, to you know..." Derek tailed off, looking around then loft awkwardly. Stiles came in matter of factly. "I told you so! I told you they wouldn't be sleeping!" Scott rolled his eyes. "We were sleeping. OK?" Stiles looked at him, with a look that had: 'sleeping, or sleeping?'  written all over it. Scott threw his arms out in exasperation,  dropping the sheet in the process. Kira squeaked and dropped under the covers quickly. Scott put a protective arm in front of her, while glaring at Stiles. Stiles shrugged and smiled. He dodged swiftly as a pillow was lobbed at him. He nodded and left the room, shaking his head. Derek looked at Scott then to Stiles, then back to Scott. Scott pointed to the door, and Derek nodded and turned on his heel quickly.

     Scott groaned and flopped back on the bed. Kira sighed and shifted until her head was resting under Scott's chin. He looked at her, stroking her hair. "Wanna take a shower?" he asked softly. Kira pretended to consider. "I'd love to, only, I don't think we'd be able to get out" she said with a chuckle. Scott closed his eyes and savoured the thought of holding Kira in his arms under the hot spray of the shower. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Stiles rapping on the door again. Scott roared, and the rapping subsided. Kira was struggling to hold back a laugh, and she sat up, leaning on Scott. He placed a hand on her back. She looked into his eyes, his pupils growing in love and lust. She placed a kiss on his lips, leaving him hanging as she puled back. "I love you" she said, quietly, whispering. He stroked her hair, pushing a strand of her face. "I love you  too" he said, almost silently. Kira kissed him again, lingering slightly this time. They were interrupted once more by the sound of Stiles' aggravating knock. They both looked at the door, ready to knock it down on top of Stiles. "I guess we'll have to continue this later" said Kira, clambering out of bed with the sheet wrapped round her. He watched as she walked to the bathroom, not taking his eyes off of her before the door closed. He sat up, gathered the pillows from around the room, and started to make the bed. The sheets were all over the pace, after Scott and Kira's, activities, the night before. He made the bed, and shoved some clothes on. Already, his skin was pinker, his muscles were coming back into shape, and his eyes were sparkling. He wore a cheeky grin as he took in his surroundings. The loft was a mess.

Derek and Stiles came through the door again, having heard both people get up. They saw Scott smiling, and they shared a look. They stared at the claw marks on almost every wall, the curtains torn, the sofa had rips in it. The only untouched thing seemed to be the bed. "I, uh..." Scott scratched the back of his neck, seeing his two friends take in the room. They both looked at Scott and gulped. Moments later the bathroom door burst open, and Kira came skipping out, hair and makeup done, and this time round, she had clothes on. Both guys greeted her with a nod, and she grabbed Scott's arm and kind of just, hung there. They shook their heads in disbelief, and turned to address Scott. "If we try and take you guys away from each other, I'm guessing we're going to look similar to that couch?" Scott growled at the prospect of having Kira taken away from him again. Both of the guests took a step back, holding their hands up in defeat. Scott retracted his claws, and his eyes resumed their normal deep brown colour. Kira stroked his arm, trailing her fingers up and down. Stiles and Derek raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.  The couple looked back at the pair in front of them and appeared ready for news. Derek shook his head fondly at the two smitten teens in front of him. "Okay, so the chupacabras are getting out of control. They're on the edge of the border, forever circling. Peter has had to come back into Beacon Hills, there's no way he could survive another night out there. The chupacabras are adapting, learning how to survive in this environment. We've called, well, uh reinforcements..." Kira looked at Scott questioningly. Scott told her he'd fill her in in a minute. "Derek? Who did you call?"

 "He called me." The group turned as they heard a voice from behind them. In the doorway, stood the silhouette of Isaac Lahey. The omega who had left Scott's pack the minute he kissed Allison. Scott hated his guts, and was not going to let it go lightly that he'd stolen his last chance to be with Allison. Isaac walked forward, hands in pockets. Kira put a hand on Scott's arm, trying to  calm him down. She could feel him shaking with rage, seething. Isaac evidently saw this, and rather than being his usual dickhead self, he had the courtesy to look sheepish. Derek looked at Scott, and then back to Isaac. He threw his head back and groaned, hating teenagers. Stiles nodded and stepped back. Kira stayed by Scott's side, attempting to calm him down. She spoke to him softly, and the group watched as Scott's claws retracted and his eyes stopped glowing. Isaac stepped forward, and Scott gave a warning growl. "Okay, I'll stay here. Derek said you needed more help with the chupacabras. But-" Isaac paused and looked around the room. "I think I'm a bit late by the state of this place!" Scott snarled, and Isaac put his hands up. Kira went red. Derek rolled his eyes and wondered what went on in teenaged minds. "Isaac. Scott and Kira were reunited for the first time in a year last night. " Isaac's face changed as the truth dawned on him. He struggled to hold back a laugh. Derek gave him a warning glance and Isaac sobered himself. Scott hooked an arm around Kira's shoulder, needing to know he had her by his side. She smiled shyly at Isaac, embarrassed that his first impression of her with Scott was that she was a sex-crazed maniac. "Well, this should be interesting"
