Fireflies

Based off episode 3x03 "Fireflies"

"Stiles," yn rolled her eyes when her boyfriend didn't even so much as glance in her direction, "Stiles!" He turned to look at her.

"It's Lydia, said it's urgent- we need to go. Like, right now." y/n stressed the issue walking backwards towards the door in order to rush him.

With a hop in his step, Stiles followed behind her easily.

"Don't worry about Scott and Derek, they'll be alive for at least 20 more minutes before they track down Boyd and the other one." Peter smirked as they began to leave.

"Yeah, well, thank you so much for your input- it's appreciated, really." y/n sassed, "I'll file it away for future consideration." She finished, slamming the door to Derek's loft as they hurried down the hallway.

"You okay?" Stiles asked, trying to keep up with her as she walked much faster- rage fueling her.

"I just can't wait for this night to be over."

-

"Lydia?" y/n called as she got out of the jeep before it even came to a complete stop, running through the gates to get to her friend, "Lydia? Are you okay?" y/n's voice softened as she got closer to Lydia's shaking figure.

"I'm okay," Lydia nodded, still not moving an inch, "that right there, not okay."

Following Lydia's pointed finger, both y/n and Stiles' eyes landed on what had caused Lydia to go numb, a dead body. All of his blood spread over the pool deck.

"Yeah, alright, I'm gonna call my dad." Stiles sighed as y/n reached forward to grab Lydia's hand in hers. The strawberry blonde glanced down to y/n squeezing her hand softly, then moved her eyes up to the girl's face- offering a small smile as gratitude.

"I already called 911." Lydia directed her comment at Stiles to stop him from calling his dad.

The annoyed boy dropped his hands to his side in defeat, "You called the police before you called me?" He interrogated.

y/n dropped Lydia's hand so they could both turn and look at him. Lydia's face held confusion while y/n's mirrored Stiles' as annoyance. Although she was annoyed at him, while he was annoyed at Lydia.

"I'm supposed to call you first when I found a dead body?"

"YES!" Stiles yelled dramatically, while y/n shook her head at the same time. Contradicting her boyfriend and assuring Lydia that she could ignore him as she turned to glare at him, warning him to take a chill pill.

"I'll call Scott, let him know Boyd and the other girl have crossed over into this side of town." y/n decided, the other two nodded in agreement.

-

"You know you guys didn't have to follow me home." Lydia pointed out as she opened the door to her bedroom and walked inside to sit down on her bed.

"Well," y/n sighed, "we just wanted to make sure you got in okay." She decided, satisfied with her justification. She stood slightly behind Stiles in the doorway.

"I had a police escort..." Lydia retorted.

Stiles just scoffed, "I know the inner workings of that force, alright? They're not nearly as reliable as people think."

Rolling her eyes, Lydia looked up at Stiles with amusement, "Well, you didn't have to follow me into my room."

"Well, I- uh," Stiles looked back at y/n for help but proved herself useless as she just shrugged, "yeah uh, we don't have an answer for that."
