That's Just My Stiles (Stiles x Male Reader)

10: The Mourning

You have your black suit ready to go, my god, you haven't worn it since the incident. Funerals are always difficult, even more, when the death is unexpected. It's only been 9 days since Malia died. Yet no one was ready for today. You just want it to be over already and it's only 8 am. On the up-side its, not a rainy shitty day, the sun is shining ready to welcome its new member. Stiles pulls up half an hour later, looking so fucking good in that suit, Jackson would be proud. He is taking you and your dad to the funeral. Stiles is not a big fan of these events it brings back too many memories of his mother's. You can see the sadness in his eyes. You put your hand on him, giving him a loving 'it will be okay' smile.

The send-off was perfect, Peter said some really moving words, I'm sure Derek actually wrote them, but who knows, maybe he does have a heart. The after party wasn't too depressing, but you just wanted to go home and forget about the day. On the upside Rachel let it slip that she and Derek got married at Disney Land. To be honest I thought they already were.
You can tell Stiles was not in the right mindset...he was quiet. You walk over to him, you sit down resting your head on his shoulder, and holding his hand. Just being in each others company makes everything in the world seem a little bit better. The party did not go on long, perfect, an early night is so needed right now, I'm sure Stiles feels the same.

A week has passed, yet the Packs dynamic is still not the same without Malia. Everyone is focused on exam prep. It's only a few days away and Scott still needs all the help he can get bless him. Stiles has been helping him a lot and so has Danny. Which means you have been seeing less of Stiles these past few days. Although, it does mean you got to focus on revision yourself. Stiles tries his best to join you in Friday's free period in the library. You asked him not to this time as he ends up distracting you with his infectious smile and laughter. The Revision goes well, but its Friday you need to have a break from all this stress. This is where that sarcastic man of yours comes in handy, everything he does is like it's from an episode of Friends. You text him asking if he wants to go out tonight. Within a matter of seconds, you get a reply, as if he was waiting for you to message him.

You decide to shake things up, have a double date with Scott and Kira. Bowling seems like a fun distraction from the upcoming exams. Stiles dropped you home from school, looking extra excited for tonight. He makes a comment about your butt as you walk away from the Jeep, you smile and continue. You decide to chill on the couch for an hour with a nice cup of tea. George adores these moments. After the tea, you still have a few hours before the date. Time for a de-stress run with George. You go up to change before embarking on your run. So refreshing to be outside, you still remember your first run here when you found Derek's phone. The run took longer than expected, guess you were really stressed. George looks ready to have a 24-hour nap. You take a shower before getting ready for the date.

Stiles arrives with Scott and Kira already in the back of the Jeep. Everyone looks so fancy yet casual. Even Stiles put in some effort. You get into the Jeep leaning over to give Stiles a kiss. "Hey, Batman, ready to go and have the best double date of your life?"

"Only because you planned it Cap!" he said with an innocent smile. He looks back to the road and pulls off.

The bowling ally is huge, neon lights everywhere, arcade to the side. After everyone gets their bowling shoes on its time to pick names for the system. Scott goes for 'The Alpha", typical. Kira goes for "Foxey" and you picked Stiles' as "Dickhead" and he set yours as "Prick". The shade. The game starts with everyone being so extra competitive. This is going to be intense as fuck. Stiles is actually so good at this, whereas Scott still doesn't realise his strength and keeps throwing the ball too hard. Unlike you and Kira, who have absolutely no skill at this game. Every now and then you might actually hit some pins. Each time you miss you can see Scott and Stiles trying not to laugh. Stiles' face gives it away too easily. At least the date is going well. Everyone's smiles have come back. Yet you all feel bad for not inviting Lydia. I'm sure she's too busy with revision anyway. The date ends with you all playing in the arcade...still being over competitive on everything.

Stiles drops Scott and Kira off before stopping at his. "Guess I'm staying tonight then?" You ask.

"Well I know if you go home you'll just get back to work, so I thought we could have a night off and just watch a movie"

"You are so right, revision has taken over our lives, I'm so glad that it will all be over in two weeks".

"So am I, I'm excited about our future."

"Our future aye. I'm excited too." you replied with a soft smile. You both get out the car and make your way into the house. You both lay on the couch watching a thriller movie, cuddled into each other. Not even halfway through the film and he had fallen asleep, you were stuck once again. Never mind, you pull a blanket over you both and lay there admiring the man of your dreams before falling asleep yourself.

You wake up to loud crashing coming from the kitchen. Stiles was trying to cook again, that never ends well. You get up from the couch and head over to see what all the noise is about. "Damn look at this, you cooked up a whole feast" he had made pancakes, bacon the lot. You both sit there and enjoy the freshly made meal. "Hey babe, let's do something after the exams. Like We both want to go to DC?, so like why don't we spend the weekend out there, look round the college and FBI academy?" you ask. 

"that is such a good fucking idea, maybe we can even look at apartments too." 

"Ohhh yeah, we can. So I'll book a hotel out there and you can drive us to the airport?"

"perfect Cap!" he replied, leaning over for a kiss

The rest of this fine Saturday is spent doing exam revision. The whole Pack came over to Stiles' for a group study session. Lydia looks overstressed, she needs a break. With just two days to go, she does not want to stop. "Hey, Lydia lets go to the kitchen, grab a drink and some snacks?" You ask. She puts down her pen and gets up to follow. "So, how you feeling about Monday?" 

"I'm feeling confident-ish" she replied. You could tell she still feels like she has not done enough.

"Trust me, you are going to ace every single god damn exam you take." You reply with a smile. 

"I...I just don't feel like I am though"

"Trust me, you are going to do the best out of all of us, okay?"

"Okay!" She replied finally giving you a smile back. You grab some snacks and make your way back to the rest of the Pack. The rest of the day went so quick. But you all feel so much more confident about the next two weeks ahead now. Everyone leaves including you and Stiles. Your dad has cooked a meal and invited both Stiles and Noah. 

You arrive home to the smell of a beautiful cooked...Chinese? "Dad I thought you had cooked a meal?"

"I did, then I proceeded to burn that said meal"

"no surprise there then." you reply, rolling your eyes. 

"Shhhhh, I'm sure they won't mind."

"No, they won't. How long has Noah been here?"

"he got here like five minutes ago. He grabbed the food for me on his way over." you laugh and proceed to the dining table with a hand-full of plates. 

"Well here you go guys, some nice freshly brought Chinese," you say sarcastically. 

"YES! love Chinse" Stiles replies.

The meal all goes to plan. You sit there thinking about how perfect your life is at this very moment in time. But while you are zoned out the lights start to flicker and out of nowhere, a massive lightning strike happed as the clouds let it pour down. "Ahh great a storm, just what we need," Noah exclaimed. "Storms are the best! God, I love them" You reply. 

"Oh me too!" Stiles added. 

"Well, this seems more powerful than any other storm we had. I've got to go and prepare to in case of floods. Thanks for the meal, Luke. And You two behave, you both have exams in a day." just as Noah was exiting you hear a call on his radio saying that someone has disappeared with some ugly cowboy guy on a horse. 

"What the fuck could that be," Stiles said confused. 

Guess we will find out soon...
