Scott McCall Imagines

I'll Work When I Have Time

She stood in the doorway watching him as he sorted through papers upon papers upon papers in search of something that would lead them in the right direction. He looked like he hadn't slept in days and if he had slept it hadn't been restful. His face gave everything away, his mind was a scrambled mess of thoughts and emotions and he could hardly think to breath. It was certainly the worst she had ever seen her boyfriend before. Scott wasn't usually much for the research when it came to the supernatural, he was more of the muscles of the operation and Stiles was the brains. But with the pack turning on each other like oil and water there wasn't much Scott could do about it. He had to buck up and do as much as he could by himself, that included doing research until his eyes wanted to pop out of his head.

He knew she was at the door but it had taken nearly ten minutes before he acknowledged her in any fashion, he was too absorbed in finding the problem. He greeted her with a small wave but that's all she got. She walked into the room, sitting down on the bed beside Scott, taking the paper from his hands.

"Hey I was reading that!"

"Scott, if you don't do something other than read these ridiculous articles then you are going to go out of your mind." Scott sighed, resting his head in his hands.

"I need to work on it, I guess I just didn't realize how big of a help Stiles was with this stuff."

"You should eat something, get some rest, then go to work. I'm sure Deaton could use your help around the clinic, he might even know something that could help you."

"I'll work when I have time." Scott ripped the paper out of her hands as his eyes began to scan it again.

"Well that certainly is part of the 'be a better Scott McCall program' isn't it?" Her tone was harsh, and dripping in sarcasm. Scott set the paper down and sighed again, leaning his head on her shoulder.

"I just have a lot on my plate right now."

"I know but you're a true alpha and you're probably going to have a lot on your plate for the rest of your life. You might as well spend a little time doing something you enjoy, like working at the clinic."

"Your right, I should give Deaton a call and head over there. I could use the break from all this." The two smiled lightly at each other.

"Damn right you could, and when you get home you can take another break by cuddling with me on the couch."

"I guess I could make time for that too." Scott stood up from his bed and made his way towards the door, kissing her on his way."I love you, I'll see you soon."

"I love you too. Be careful, I hear there's werewolves out there." Y/N winked at him before laughing and kissing him once more before he walked out the door.
