Chapter 13

Your...no fun." says Malia threw breaths,

She and Stiles had decided to go into the woods for a run as a work out between the two of them. During the simple training the running turned into a race. The finish line was Malia's house. Over the past few weeks Stiles has been getting way better with his powers, he embraced them more than before. He was just as fast as her but as they were running he tackled her to the side and they both rolled around in each other's embrace. It wasn't till they both hit a rock that the fun stopped and so did the rolling around. They laid side by side breathing heavy and Malia started laughing.

"Next time pay more attention to your surroundings." says Stiles as he sits up panting,

"Why." says Malia sitting up next to him,

"A few more steps and you would've stepped into a bears trap."

"Wow you got a good eye."

"Just be more careful okay."

"Sure...dad. I'll be more careful."

"Hey you still wanted me as a teacher so don't start."

"Yea I just didn't want you to be so bossy. I thought you'd be cooler."

"Define cooler." says Stiles as he stands up and helps Malia to her feet,

"Well I guess I wanted you to teach me in a more fun way."

"So tackling you to the ground and rolling around for a bit wasn't fun."

"It was." says Malia then punched Stiles playfully in the shoulder as they walked back to her house, "How are you anyway, with all your power?"

"I've been getting the hang of it, though I don't magically grow hair or anything."

"So have I. It's kind of fun being in this together."

Malia gets closer to Stiles and he places an arm over her shoulder holding her closer. When they get to her house they walk into the kitchen and Malia grabs some water bottles. She tosses one to Stiles who catches it with ease. They both chug down the water till the bottle was empty.

"I'm going to take a shower." says Malia after she threw her bottle into the recycling bin, "You coming?"

"Oh I wish, but I got some things I need to take care of."

Stiles walks up to Malia and places a soft kiss on her forehead,

"I'll see you at school tomorrow okay. And don't forget about the English test you got, study."

Malia nodded and smiled as Stiles left. Once he was gone she went down the hall to take that shower. Afterwards she pranced around in her room, she was so close to showering with Stiles. She had asked him before but he said he'd do it someday. Gosh she was so close. As she crossed her room towards the dresser she stopped in front of her wall mirror.
