You're A Hardass But I Love You

Pretty Little Viper

Malia is the marathon gold medal holder of longest grudge ever.
Got her heart broken at 12 by one boy. Lets hatred fester for 5 years. Taking it out on all men.
But that did not deter Scott from loving her. He still gets that doe-eyed look whenever she walks into a room.
"Stiles..." Scott said gripping his arm.
"Ow! What?" Stiles asked pained.
"Calm down. It's only Malia and her bitch cousin." Lydia said as she watched Malia and Cora walk through the doors like they owned everything. Cora wearing a Camo mini skirt with a dark green fitted sweater and sneakers.
Scott's future wife wore a blue t-shirt with a leather jacket, distressed jeans and combat boots.
They were gorgeous and fearsome.
"Can I help you?" Malia asked the boy staring at her. He looked scared.
"N-No. I was just leaving." The kid said and ran off.
"Not nice, Malia. You made him piss his pants." Cora laughed.
"Like it's my fault he has a weak bladder?" Malia scoffed.
"Well why don't you terrify all the other boys staring at you?" Cora asked sarcastically.
"I want them all at one gathering.
Look. It's Ulch and everyone's lover Lydia." Malia said coldly.
"At least I get some. You're still a virgin. Nobody wants you."
Lydia said. Scott cut her a look.
"Does it still burn when you pee?" Cora asked. Appalled and embarrassed, Lydia walked off.
"Nicely done." Malia lowfived her cuz.
"Do you have to be so mean?"
Stiles asked.
"Yes. You didn't think it was mean when you broke my cousin's heart for a skank." Cora said.
"It was five years ago!" Stiles yelled.
"Doesn't make it hurt any less..."
Scott said softly. There was a brief moment where Malia looked at him with a softness he hadn't seen in years. Like someone of the opposite sex understood how she felt.
And just as soon as her guard dropped and Scott could see the old Malia behind all her walls, it shot back up. She rolled her eyes and tucked her hair behind her ear.
"It wasn't on purpose." Stiles said.
"Whatever. I have that thing with all the numbers that I hate with the people I hate even more." Malia said and straightened her bag.
"You mean Math with Stiles and Lydia?" Cora and Scott asked.
"Yes. That. Them...See ya." Malia said and hit Scott's arm before leaving.
"That was nice of you." Cora said.
"What?" Malia asked confused.
"You were being nice to Scott." Cora said warmly and nudged.
"I wasn't being nice. I was just saying goodbye. Besides Scott wasn't the one that hurt me." Malia said. She got quiet after that. Going to class and just trying to keep up.
She had a few other classes with them but at least she had Scott and Cora there to make her less stressed.
And lunch, Cora forced her to socialize with her ex, enemy and Scott.
"No, Cora! Why would I hang with these people?" Malia asked as she was dragged over to the table.
"Because you need to get over it." Cora said. "Hi. Mind if we join?"
"Yes." Lydia and Stiles said.
"No. Definitely not."
Scott said standing.
"We're filled up." Lydia placed her bag on one of the seats.
Scott threw it on the ground.
"Have a seat." Scott said smiling at Malia. Making smile.
"That was gangsta." Malia chuckled.
"That was Prada!" Lydia yelled.
"Aww. Was it?" Cora asked sarcastically and sat next to her.
"Bitch." Lydia muttered.
"You would know. Scott, why don't you tell Malia about your job at the Animal Clinic?" Cora suggested.
"I don't have that anymore. The guy moved away." Scott said.
"I'm sorry." Malia said cutely.
"It's okay. How's Talia?" Scott asked.
"Busy but still finding time to look hot. My role model. Actually... Yo, jerkoff. That stupid Pack/Emissary bonding crap is tonight."
Malia said to Stiles.
"I actually can't remember the last time you called me by my name." Stiles said.
"I do. It was five years ago.
Look, I only mentioned it because it's mandatory." Malia sighed.
"Okay..." Stiles sighed sadly.
"Scott, wanna come to this thing to keep me company?" Malia asked.
"So much." Scott said smiling.
"Sweet. Be there. Tonight at 8:00." Malia said. Scott nodded. Cora gave a devious smile. Stiles looked at his food and looked at Stiles to make sure he wasn't looking at Malia.

Hale Mansion 8:00 PM

A gathering of Packs and Emissaries took place. A bimonthly event created by Talia Hale to promote good blood and unity between the packs of Beacon Hills and their advisors.
Creating union with the
second generation.
Scott__ A human_ was there since 7:58. Too afraid to go in.
"Scott? Why are you standing out there? Come inside." Malia said from her bedroom upstairs.
The guard stepped aside.
"You actually came." Cora laughed and hit Scott's shoulder.
"She invited me." Scott said.
"Yes, she did. This is progress."
Cora beamed.
You would know. I can't believe you're wearing a dress." Scott said.
"Screw you! I can be feminine." Cora snapped. Stiles walked in.
"Is it over?" Stiles asked. Malia walked down the spiral staircase.
"You see her too right?" Scott asked Cora. Malia clad in a black and blood red Lolita dress. Fishnet stockings.
Heeled ankle leather boots with her hair in a braided ponytail with a bang on her right side. Scott just stared.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Malia asked worried.
"He's staring like an idiot because he thinks you look hot." Cora said.
"And you do. So proud. Festivities are about to begin." Talia whispered after she did a walk by kiss.
"Gross." Malia said and tried to wipe it off. Talia spoke and
everyone paid attention.
"Welcome friends, family and allies.
Welcome to our bimonthly C.O.P.E gathering. We thank those of you who made an effort to come and mourn for those who didn't because they're missing a good time! Okay. So the party runs from now until 1:00 because we all got work or whatever tomorrow. Enjoy. Mingle. Eat." Talia said and got off stage.
"Don't have to tell me twice. Hungry Scott?" Malia asked. Scott shook his head. "Okay. Won't stop me."
"You're shameless." Cora said.
"Yeah. What's your point?"
Malia asked. Cora rolled her eyes.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I see something tall, dark and Lahey over there." Cora pushed up her corset.
"Ew. He's part of your brothers pack." Malia said disgusted.
"Yeah. What's your point?" Cora asked with a sly smile.
"Go do you girl." Malia said. Cora winked and did a sexy, confident strut over to Isaac.
"Got ya!" Claudia said warmly and kissed Stiles, Malia and Scott.
"Why am I always surprised?"
Malia asked. Smiling.
"I'm gonna go wash my face."
Stiles said and left.
Just Scott and Malia.
"I know you probably don't want to hang with me all night so...go make friends with Derek. He seems gruff but he's a teddy bear." Malia said.
"Derek who doesn't like me?"
Scott asked.
"No! He likes you. It's Stiles he doesn't like. You're good. Go mingle." Malia said. Scott nodded and swallowed his fear. Approaching the towering wolf.
Malia took up residence at the food table. Watching everyone mingle.
Shutting down any boys that came her way. Talia and Claudia had a heavy conversation with fake smiles.
"Any sign of him?" Claudia asked.
"None. Peter has been missing for eight days now. I think he's gone feral." Talia said lowly.
"You think the littering of dead bodies is because of him, don't you?"
Claudia asked.
"By the way we left things...yeah.
He's trying to send me a message." Talia said. "He can hide his scent."
"That's inconvenient...Why don't you let Malia find him? She is his daughter."
"I'm not involving that little girl.
I can find him." Talia said.
"Better do it quick before more people die. Now...I'm hungry."
"Your son could not be more like you." Talia laughed. Claudia flipped her hair and left.

While outside, Malia stood alone on the balcony. Staring up as Scott walked over to her.
"What are you doing?" Scott asked.
"Looking at the stars. Having fun?" Malia asked turning.
"Yeah. It's great. I kinda wanna know why you ditched me though."
Scott said a little sad.
Not looking at her.
"I didn't ditch you. I didn't think you wanted to actually wanted to hang with me. You just said yes because I asked." Malia said. "I was giving you a pass. Get Out Of Jail Free card."
"One I didn't need.
I wanted to be with you." Scott said.
"You've barely said two words to me and it seems like you're not interested so I took the hint." Malia said.
"I barely say anything because I don't know what to say. And I am interested. So much that you make me nervous. You intimidate me.
Which is why I can't look at you right now." Scott said shyly. Back to her.
"Oh...I'm not bad. You don't have to be scared. If I seem mean, it's just because it's the only way I know to keep people away." Malia said.
"Isn't that kinda lonely?" Scott asked.
"Loneliness is better than having your heart shattered after they hurt you."
Malia said. It broke Scott's heart. Stiles really did a number on her heart and Scott wanted to make it better for her. But she was so guarded. He wouldn't stop trying.
"Dance with me." Scott said.
"Really?" Malia asked.
"Yeah. Come on." Scott took her hand and lead her back inside.
The music built up and it started.

That dance was so beautiful and intense. Honest...Which was why all eyes were on them. Even Stiles who lamented that in two years, she never looked at him like that.
Then it was over. The dance that had left her vulnerable had ended.
Her pressed against his chest.
Looking up at him. Scott's arms locking her. Looking into her pretty brown  eyes. Malia felt like he could see her. That sweet 12 year old girl she locked away. For the first time ever, she felt...loved by a man she wasn't related to. And it scared her.
"Not bad. You got some moves." Malia said, pushing against his chest. Code for Back Up. Damn. Scott was enjoying the closeness. But he took the hint and pulled away.
"Thanks." Was all Scott said and let it be. He was getting there.
After that bit of awkwardness, they spent the rest of the night with other people. Cora and Isaac finally stopped  circling each other's orbit, so she had time for her cuz.
"You and Scott seem very cozy." Cora said beaming and nudging.
"He's... Not that bad. He's cool. Even if he is cavorting with the enemy." Malia smiled. This was good. She was coming around.
Perfect. The night ended and they all said goodbye. Scott made it out of the woods, only to be attacked by something with crazed blue eyes.
Biting into his side.
Hovering over him. The Hales heard his cry and ran out.
Derek and the girls bared their fangs and claws ready to fight but the wolf looked directly at Talia then ran off.
"What the hell was that?" Cora asked.
"Peter." Talia and Malia answered.
No time process and explain.
All that mattered was Scott.
