One Guy, Two Mistakes, and Three Girls

Kylie Tate first encountered Stiles at a club three years ago. Malia and Stiles had gotten into a fight over something that would now be considered unimportant, resulting in Malia leaving. Hence, Stiles was at the bar trying to relieve his sorrows, turning to alcohol.

She was a sneaky little thing like a fox playing with her prey. A gorgeous brunette, the spitting image of her sister. She sent him an overly flirtatious gaze across the bar that could have been considered a stare, which led to a teasing conversation to a series of smooches. They never went as far as sleep together, although they had been close multiple times. However, something always intervened from it ever going any further. Whether it was an interruption or Stiles' conscience that got in the way.

But there was a connection that drew them together. They hated feeling alone and when they were together even for the smallest fraction of a second they felt a bit more whole. Maybe it was because he turned to her whenever he and Malia had a falling out, resulting in Kylie swooping in to keep him company.  There was never anything serious between them, but she always came running whenever he needed her.  Nonetheless, the feelings were one sided. He viewed their interactions as just a friendly distraction, nothing serious. Kylie understood the terms but wanted to be his girlfriend for not only the fame, but to build upon the connection. She never did stop trying to nudge him in that direction though, but her efforts were futile.

Malia and Stiles first met at a Deer Conservation Society benefit concert that Hysteria Division played at a few years back.  Their band was gaining recognition as it was growing a name for itself and Stiles had officially eliminated communication with Lydia, seeing as their show had recently ended. They were both young and hit it off as Stiles was ready to move on from Lydia and after declining offers from her previous suitors, Malia felt that he would make a good first boyfriend.   They grew close, becoming fast friends with the business to bond over, resulting in their relationship to last for five years.

At one point in time, they went through a rough patch.  In fact, they had several.  Then to make matters worse Kylie adopted all of Malia's charms, attacking Stiles with all of her sex driven hormones when their relationship was at its weakest.  Stiles was only twenty-one at the time, meaning he was either buzzed or drunk when he wasn't working.  Then, once Kylie appeared it was like everything changed.  She looked like Malia, was funny like her, had the same style, and was showing more affection towards him then Malia had been at the moment, fulfilling his desires.  He was stupid, intoxicated, and after all a guy, so he went for it.  He went for her sister.

It was wrong, but she made him feel like he wasn't drifting alone in the endless amount of space in the universe. However, Kylie didn't make him feel grounded either. There was only one girl that ever made Stiles feel like that up until recently, but he had just lost her.

This particular phase of troubles in Stiles' and Malia's relationship was brief, meaning that he cut ties with Kylie after they spent five or six times together. After the couple smoothed over a few rough patches, Kylie slowly and quietly disappeared. She knew she couldn't tell her sister, so she didn't. Stiles wanted to tell Malia, since he didn't want to lie, but he decided to keep it a secret anyways.

Then flash forward to Stiles working on Safety Wounds in Wales.  After wrapping up one night, she startled him appearing in his car.  He furrowed his brows, once he noticed Kylie was there.  "How the hell did you even get in here?"

She ignored his question.

"What are you doing here?"  He was beyond confused.  Why was his past coming back to haunt him?
