CHAPTER FIVE
( DATE NIGHT )

  SCOTT WALKS INTO HIS ROOM, EXHAUSTED. He sees Issac sitting on the bed in the reflection of the bureau mirror. Scott places his keys on the bureau.
  Issac looks at him. "We should go on a date."
  Scott turns to him, wide-eyed. "What?"
  "Well," he stands, "Derek and Stiles are going on a date. I think Malia and Lydia are too. I actually think everyone is on a date with their respective partners." He walks closer to Scott. "I think it's about time. So," he wraps his arms around Scott's neck, "we should go on a date." He tilts his head to the side. "And it could be the end of the world for us, so," he shrugs, "why don't we enjoy it."
  Scott smiles and places his hands on Issacs waist. "Okay. What do you wanna do?"
  Issac smiles softly. "Well Theo and Liam are staying here. Corey and Mason went to the movies with Gabe and Nolan. Lydia and Malia went bowling. And Derek and Stiles went to dinner. I think it would be nice to just walk along the beach and talk."
  Scott nods. "Okay. Lets go."

The two walk in silence along the water.
Issac breaks it. "Do you not want to be with me?"
Scott cringes at how broken Issacs voice sounds. "What do you mean?"
Issac sighs and stops walking. He turns fully to Scott. "I mean all we do is fuck. I asked you on a date and you haven't spoken a word to me on it. I can't just be friends with benefits, Scott. I like you, a lot. And I want to be with you. I want to go on dates and I want to wake up next to you in the morning. Not just after sex." He pauses, tears welling up in his eyes. "And I can't do this if you don't feel the same."
Scott sighs. "Issac, I like you too. I wanna be more than friends with benefits."
Issac sighs in relief. "They why didn't you say something?"
Scott shrugs. "I was scared you didn't feel the same way. I thought it was a one time thing. Then you left. And when you came back, I didn't know what to think."
Issac takes ahold of Scott's hand. "I came back because I missed you. I'm here because I want to be with you."
Scott squeezes Issacs hand. "So, What are we? Boyfriends?"
Issac smiles and nods. "Boyfriends."
They continue to walk along the beach.

Lydia throws the bowling ball, hitting all the pins down. She throws her hands up in victory. "Yes! Third strike."
Malia smiles softly at her. "How are you so good at everything?" She chuckles. "There's nothing you can't do."
She sits next to Malia. "There's plenty I can't do."
Malia rolls her eyes. "Like what?"
Lydia shrugs. "I can't sing."
Malia laughs. "What's something that I can do that you can't?"
"Well, I can't turn into a coyote," Lydia says.
"That doesn't count."
Lydia stands. "I'm not a badass were-coyote like you. You can easily kick anyone's ass and I can't." She pulls Malia up and toward the bowling balls. "So, take your shot Mal."
Malia throws the ball and gets a strike. She looks at Lydia smug.
Lydia smirks. "You used you powers didn't you."
Malia shrugs, trying to act nonchalant. "Maybe I did maybe I didn't."
Lydia scoffs, smiling. "That's cheating!"
"What happened to 'badass were-coyote'?" Lydia stays silent. "That's what I thought. Your turn."
Lydia grabs a ball. "You're just pissed off that you're losing."
Malia laughs. "Maybe, maybe not."
