Chapter Text
Stiles pulls into the school's parking lot with Scott right behind him. It's after first period and the only reason they got here so late is because Scott got handsy in the shower. He parks the jeep and grabs his bag from the back seat. He walks over to Scott who's pulling his helmet off. "Ready?" Stiles asks as they both walk into school together. They get a late slip from the office and make their way to English class.
They get to class, hand the teacher their passes, and suddenly Scott is hit with a scent he hadn't smelled in a while. "Mr. McCall, are you okay?" He hears as he whips his head to the left and sees her. Allison Argent. He stands there gaping at the sight of her. She's beautiful. She picks her head up and she stares right back at him. Stiles comes up next to him and he sees her also. He takes a sharp intake of breath and turns around to sit on the other side of the room. Scott who's still standing and gaping clo ses his mouth and makes his way to an empty seat.
Pretty soon the bell rings and it startles Scott who's been lost in his mind for the whole period. He picks up his stuff putting it in his bag. He watches as Allison leaves, and that's when he's startled when Lydia taps him on the shoulder.
She raises a sculpted eyebrow at him. "What's up?"
"Nothing," he says. "Why is there something wrong?" He furrows his eyebrows, everything has been going well.
"So seeing your hunter ex-girlfriend didn't bring back any old memories? Nothing at all?"
"Nope." Scott lies with a fake smile. "This year I'm focusing on my schoolwork and family." He turns around to go to his locker.
"And Stiles." Lydia mumbles. He turns around eyes showing surprise.
"How'd you know? Did he tell you?" Scott questions.
"No, but you two haven't been exactly subtle. Don't worry only Erica and I know." She says picking at her nails. "The others don't know because you a nd Stiles spend enough time together so they can't smell the difference." She pushes past him to leave, but before she does she says, "You might wanna talk to Stiles, though. He seemed pretty sad that your ex was back in town."

Stiles sits at the lunch table next to Erica. She stops her conversation with Isaac to look at him. "You alright?" She asks looking him over.
"Yeah." He says even though he keeps thinks about what's gonna happen now that Allison is in town.
He and Scott fell into this 'relationship' when they were playing Call of Duty at his house. He was laughing at something Scott said that was completely idiotic, only to find Scott staring him with an unreadable expression. "What?" He says self-concious. Then Scott leaned over and kissed him. He froze for a second then kissed back. A few minutes later Scott licked across the seam of his mouth, he pulled away. "Scott what are you doing?"
"Kissing you." Scott said grinning. He leaned in again.
Stiles dodged it. "Obviously. But why?"
"I like you Stiles. More than a friend." Scott says staring at him. Stiles gapes. "I don't know why but I just do." He leans in again and this time Stiles doesn't pull away.
"Stiles? Stiles!" Stiles jerks out of his reverie to see Erica waving her hand in front of his face. "You sure you're alright?"
Stiles gives her one of his adorable grins, "'Course, Eri. I'm just peachy." He starts eating his lunch, surprisingly it isn't that bad today. From behind him he hears an obnoxious giggle, he turns to see Scott and Allison with both their heads bent toward each other in conversation. Lydia pushes in between them (bless her) and makes her way over to the table to sit in front of Stiles. Then Boyd comes plopping into the seat on the other side of Erica wrapping his buff arms around her. They immediately begin their own conversation. Stiles turns again to see Scott making his wa y to the seat to the left of Stiles.
"Hey," Scott says,"haven't seen you since first period. Where have you been?"
"We sat next to each other in Chemistry?" Stiles bites out rolling his eyes. Of course Scott would forget about him the minute Allison comes back.
"Really? I just haven't been myself today? Sorry."
"It's fine. We're still going to that special screening of Batman, right?" The next town over was having a screening of the original Batman for a night only, and the duo had been planning to go for months.
"Of course! I wouldn't miss it," Scott said.
Stiles smiles. He shouldn't throw Scott under the bus so quickly. Sure, what they have is relatively new, but Stiles always knows Scott is loyal. The bell rings and everyone at the table goes to their respective classes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After school, Stiles had detention so he hadn't seen Scott since lunch. He sends a text to Scott telling him t o be ready by six. He goes home, and sees Lydia's car in his driveway he pulls up next to her. Making his way inside, and up to his room he sees Lydia perched on his bed texting. "Finally! What took you do long? I've been waiting for you for an hour!" Lydia says. "Go take a shower so I can get you ready for tonight!" She claps her hands and pushes him into the bathroom.
"I didn't need any help!" Stiles shouts through the door. He stripped down and took a shower anyway. After he pulled some boxer briefs on, he went back into his room where Lydia had laid an outfit out for him. "Where'd you find these clothes?" Stiles asks gesturing to the articles of clothing on the bed.
"I went out shopping," Lydia shrugs in a dismissive manner. Stiles doesn't fight it, he wouldn't win anyway. He puts on the clothing that miraculously fit because they looked way too small. Lydia styles his hair, and quickly left with a peck on his cheek saying something about Prada's vet appoint ment. He shoots out a text to Scott saying that he'll be by to pick him up in 5 minutes. He grabs his wallet, phone, and keys, and heads out the door.
Right when he starts the jeep, he gets a text from Scott saying: 'Oh shit! Forgot abt the movie!! Rain check? Gotta help Allison w/ making up Chemistry. You totally understand right?'
Stiles can feel rejection wash over him, then shame. Obviously he was just a quick fling because Allison was gone. How could he have been so stupid to think that Scott wouldn't throw him aside after Allison came back? He doesn't reply. Instead he shoots a text to Erica saying: 'Wanna see a movie? It's on me :).'
He gets a reply saying: 'Sure! Weren't you going with Scott?'
'Change of plans. I'll be there in 10.' He locks his phone, and pulls out his driveway to Erica's house. He gets a feeling in the pit of his stomach that Scott will never get a rain check on the movie.
