Hii! How's dairy queen Stiles doing!?
Hi! He's good, but he's anxiously waiting to see a certain someone again...
A little drabble based on the Dairy Queen!Stiles AU.
Word count: 291
Stiles never thought he'd be excited to go work at a fast-food restaurant, but his entire world was flipped last week when he met an angel.
He wakes up before his alarm, something he's never experienced before, but he's not upset about it because he can use this time to search every corner of the internet for the mystery girl. There's only so many people living in Beacon Hills; he's bound to find her eventually.
Yes, he knows she has a boyfriend - Victor, or whatever, but after watching them interact, he doesn't imagine they'll last very long. He hopes not, at least.
The minutes seem to pass like hours at work. He spends his downtime conspicuously gazing out of the windows, hoping he'll catch a glimpse of her hair or something, anything. His head whips over to the door every time the bell rings, signaling a customer's arrival. Just those seconds of distraction are enough for disaster to strike - just what he needs, more messes. He remakes drinks, refills cartons of fries, and mops up puddles of ice cream even more often than usual.
The whole process is frustrating, but he's getting increasingly slick to avoid more angry rants from the manager. His acting skills have improved greatly, though he's sure his smile is looking faker as the days go on.
When he finally goes home and collapses in his bed for the night, his dreams are filled with fantasies of beating the shit out of that douchbag boyfriend and spending peaceful, romantic moments with the angel he can't wait to see again (mostly the latter). He knows it's possible that he never will, but he also knows that if he does, it'll be absolutely magical, just like the first time.
Here's a little pep talk from Stiles đ:
"Hey... Hey, look at me. Life sucks, I know. It's horrible. It's a big, ugly, mean monster with sharp teeth and a really bad comb-over and- ok, I'm getting off-topic, sorry. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that there's probably always going to be something bad happening, but there will also always be something good.
"No, no, don't look away. Eyes up here, remember? There we go. Much better. So, like I was saying, there's good stuff out there too. It can be hard to find, especially these days, but it's there. Just... take a moment to look for it. Take a nice, long, deep breath, and look around for a second. It doesn't have to be anything crazy. Maybe the wind is blowing in your favor to show off how hot you are, I don't know. It could be anything.
"And in really dire situations, because, yeah, there's plenty of those around here, look inside yourself. I know it's scary, I don't like doing it either. But the more you do it, the easier it'll get. Start small. Like... What's one thing you tolerate about yourself? You don't have to love it or like it, it's just something you're ok with. You've come to terms with its existence.
"Then, move on to something you do like. Even just a little bit. Come on, don't look at me like that! You're smarter than you think you are, there's gotta be a bunch of things. Alright, it's ok if there's not yet, but there will be eventually! We'll work on that.
"Now, as much as I love giving you all the love in my heart, you gotta give yourself some of the love you have in your heart too. I can't take all the credit, that would be greedy. Besides, have you seen yourself!? My God, I could pass out at any second, I'm serious! And even if you aren't vibing with the physical stuff, you have so many lovable qualities and talents that blow my mind every single day. You're not a useless blob of goo, ok? You're beautiful - inside and out - and special. You're very precious to me and so many others, even if they don't tell as often as they should.
"You're doing great, I promise. You're trying, that's all we can do, you know? Everything's gonna be ok. Well, eventually. It might seem like forever, but it'll happen, I know it. I love you so much."
Sorry to ruin everyone's day, but Stiles holds hands when he cries, without a doubt.
Maybe he holds his love's soft palm against his own cheek while he speaks with a tremble, using it as a tether to help him work through his emotions. Their hands are practically soaked from all of his tears, but he doesn't even notice. He's only focused on her and all the love he feels radiating from her touch.
Or maybe she's sitting with him while he waits for his appointment with his therapist after a long, hard day. He squeezes her hand, trying to take deep breaths and ignore how much his leg is shaking. He wipes his face of the tears that escape with a bit of annoyance at his vulnerability in a public space. Sure, there's only a few other people in there with them, and they're all there for the same reason - to get help - but Stiles has always been good at bottling his emotions up. Why couldn't he do it now?
And especially during his panic attacks, when every muscle in his body feels like it's on fire and when his lungs can't grasp the air he's reaching for, he uses both of his hands to hold onto hers, so tightly that they shake. Sometimes he presses their hold against his chest or his forehead, needing to know that it's real, she's real, she's there with him.
Also, just imagine little Scott holding little Stiles' hand as they walk home from their elementary school after getting into another fight with the biggest bully in the second grade. Maybe boys aren't "supposed to" hold hands, like everyone says when they're eight years old and clueless. Stiles doesn't care, though, he knows he needs this (yes, he waited until they were in his neighborhood, away from any curious gazes).
The moral of the story is that sweet, sweet Stiles needs physical touch to survive. Everything becomes easier when he has a hand to hold, and this goes far beyond just crying.
I'm passing away from my cramps right now so let me just make it known that Stiles would be the best cuddler when his girlfriend is on her period.
We all know that he gives great hugs and loves to snuggle, but his attention to detail really shines when his girl is in pain. He knows exactly what to do to help depending on what kind of pain she's in.
If her cramps are in front, right by her belly button, he'll lay behind her curled-up form, gently placing his hand on the affected area, which acts as a biological heating pad of sorts.
In the opposite scenario, where her cramps creep to her lower back (literally me right now), he'll let her bury her face into his chest while his arms wrap around her to allow his fingers to carefully massage those tender muscles.
He will happily stay there for as long as she wants and needs, or move so she can switch to a different position. He doesn't mind, only wanting her to be as comfortable as humanly possible, despite all the"disrespect", as Stiles would say, her body is giving her.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that the boy knows how to take care of his girl, and boy oh boy do I wish that I was that girl right now.
I think a singular kiss on the cheek from Stiles could actually cure me of all ailments. THAT BOY, I CAN'T! And the smirk he gives afterwards... Yeah, I'll be passed out on the floor.
I'm a little late, but here's more of the twins, Stiles and Stuart Stilinski! And bis thanks to @darkintothedawn for the inspiration! I couldn't have done it without your phenomenal ideas!

She couldnât remember falling asleep, nor how she ended up so perfectly snuggled between her two favorite boys. She did, however, know exactly who was who, just by feeling them breathe against her. Stuart was lying on his back, his arm bent so that his hand held the back of his neck, creating the perfect nook for her head to rest on his chest. Her arm was already wrapped around his waist when she instinctively pulled him closer. Stiles, being the more deliberate twin, was behind her, spooning her and keeping her in a tight embrace while his nose stayed buried in her hair. Â
When the three of them began dating, snuggling was sometimes more comparable to a cold war: no physical attacks, but verbal arguments and even threats about who should be where and what positions they should lay in. The poor girl had to be the mediator, begging them to compromise somewhere in the middle for her sake. They had been whipped since they first met her, so itâs no surprise that they listened, although somewhat begrudgingly. Â
At this point, they have nearly mastered the art of going with the flow or, in other words, letting her get comfortable first, and then sliding in on either side, always taking turns facing her. Many things are like this in their relationship since their circumstances are somewhat unusual.Â
As if on cue, they both lifted their heads to look at her and she looked between them in turn. Â
âThere she is,â Stiles said with an adoring grin.Â
âItâs about time,â quipped Stuart.Â
The last time she was conscious, Stiles was driving them back to their house after their date at the zoo. Seeing her beam about each animal as they wandered through the park ignited more love in their hearts for her. There wasnât a single thing she could do that wouldnât make them ruminate on her excessive amounts of âcutenessâ, as they say. Apparently, all of that walking and enthusing tuckered her out, because she was out like a light, slumped against Stuartâs shoulder in the backseat. She figured one of them must have carried her inside and upstairs.Â
âWhat time is it anyway?â she said before yawning.Â
Stuart glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand. âAlmost eight.â His fingers traced random patterns on her arm, still wrapped around his waist.Â
âWow. Iâve been asleep this whole time?âÂ
âYeah, itâs very cute,â Stiles said, nuzzling into her hair blissfully.Â
âAgain, with the âcuteâ thing? Arenât there any other words you can use to describe me?â As of recently, sheâd been growing tired of their teasing insistence. âCuteâ was basically their new favorite word.Â
âNope. Youâre cute, itâs time to accept it,â Stiles stated simply.Â
âIâm not rejecting it!âÂ
âYes, you are. And itâs not very nice,â Stuart added.Â
She couldnât believe they turned this onto her, yet again! The few times they actually work together are spent teasing her. Not when she asks them to stop bickering about nonsense, no, that would be too easy. They just have to throw a wrench in the works.Â
âWhat!? How am I not being nice?â she exclaimed.Â
âYou know exactly how. Donât try to act all innocent.â Stiles was too sly for anyoneâs good.Â
âIâm not-âÂ
âOh, come on. We all know what youâre doing,â interjected Stuart. âYouâre fishing for compliments! You know, your greed is gonna catch up with you eventually.â He wore a poker face that was convincing enough to make her face flush, turning rosy.Â
Stiles lifted his head and caught a glimpse her warm pout and chuckled, saying, âOh, donât do that, you know weâre just messing with you.âÂ
âWhatever. Iâm hungry.âÂ
âSo thatâs why youâre so grumpy,â Stuart started, but stopped and furrowed his eyebrows when he felt her begin to release herself from their holds. âWait, where are you going?â He and Stiles both tightened their grasps.Â
âTo the kitchen. Iâm hungry.â Her repeated words were blunt because, to her, it was obvious.Â
âWoah, wait a damn minute, you canât leave yet!â Stiles said.Â
âWhy not?â She narrowed her eyes at him, looking behind her.Â
âBecause.âÂ
âBecause? Thatâs it?âÂ
âYes!â he asserted.Â
âWhat he means,â Stuart glared at his twin, âis that we... uh... really, really donât want you to.â He wore a pained expression, knowing full well that his reasoning was probably only hurting their cause, and Stiles gave him the death stare right back.Â
She sighed, beginning to move again, and he knew this meant he only had one choice left. âOk, ok, weâre sorry, weâre sorry... Please donât get up. Seriously.â He paused to think, then continued, "Hey, how about you stay here, and someone brings food to you?âÂ
The girl smiled slightly and began to relax into the bed again. âAlright. I can agree to that.âÂ
Stilesâ face lit up. âPerfect! Stuart will go.âÂ
Stuartâs eyes widened with rage. That scheming bastard! he thought, and he sat up with malintent radiating off of him, causing Stiles to practically duck, burying his face in her hair yet again. He huffed, knowing that he canât beat his brotherâs ass when their girlfriend is anywhere near him; he would not take that risk. Â
He took a couple of seconds to relax (for now, heâd get his revenge after she went home), then leaned down to press a sweet kiss to her forehead. âAnything for the cutest girl in the world.âÂ
Seeing her soft smile almost made the trip downstairs worth it, but he knew tackling Stiles and throwing him down those same stairs later would cure him. Â
As soon as Stuart left the room, Stiles pulled her impossibly closer, relishing in the few moments of alone time.Â
âYou know Stuart is going to kill you, right?âÂ
âYeah, I know.âÂ
Hi, friends! I hope everyone is doing well.
If I have time this week, I'd like to write some fluff for the twins (Stiles and Stuart) trope, but I don't have any ideas or inspiration. If anyone does, please let me know! I absolutely love hearing from you all! Thank you! đ

Happy Valentine's Day!
Stiles had it all planned out. It was going to be the best Valentineâs Day ever. It had to be; it was their first spent together as a couple. Some (Isaac) might say he was taking it too seriously, but he strongly disagreed. It was his duty to make his girlfriend feel as special and loved as possible.
With a big smile, he drove to the surprise destination, stubbornly refusing to answer all of her questions. She was radiating with excitement in the passenger seat â she had never had someone so dedicated to her happiness. It took all of her strength not to peek under the blanket in the backseat which was clearly hiding a menagerie of items for their date.
She was giddy, and seeing that on her face made Stiles giddy too. He did that. He was the one who was making her feel that way. And knowing that was the best feeling in the world.Â
âCan I at least get a hint or something? I need to mentally prepare!âÂ
âAbsolutely not. And donât worry about mentally preparing, youâll be very relaxed, I promise.â Stiles spoke with a calm yet adamant voice, though he couldnât ignore his nerves. This was a big moment for him. Â
âOh, Iâll be relaxed? Does this mean thereâs a massage in my future?â she teased.Â
He smirked. âMaybe later if your gift is as good as I think itâs going to be.â He glanced at the neatly wrapped box sitting in her lap, filled with all of his favorite goodies and the new video game disk heâs had his eye on for his Xbox. She knows him better than heâd like to admit.Â
âWell, I guess we both just have to wait and find out then.âÂ
âI guess so.âÂ
The next ten or so minutes were peaceful, their chatting and laughter filled the air. That was until an unsettling screech made a bold interruption. Before they knew it, the Jeep was slowing down. Stiles instinctively pulled off the mostly empty highway. Â See, he took a route that he knew she wouldnât recognize, one that most wouldnât take on a holiday because it leads away from town and past all the popular scenic spots.Â
The poor guy was trying not to panic. He had just recently gotten major work done on the vehicle, so watching it break down yet again was beyond frustrating. He put it in park and stepped out with a huff, closing the door with a little bit more force than he meant to. Steam flowed from the front of the Jeep as he lifted the hood, making him cough a couple of times.Â
Seeing his anger and devastation as he cursed out his car was worrying for his girlfriend. She knew that he had spent over a week planning this, but she started to truly realize how much he truly wanted to do this for her as she, too, stepped out, making her way to his side.Â
âStiles-âÂ
He shook his head, looking at her with sincere remorse as he interjected. âNo, look, Iâm sorry. I know you were excited and this kind of ruins everything I had planned, but we could try again another day, you know? We could have another Valentineâs Day next week and just forget everything-âÂ
She couldnât believe what he was saying. Yes, he had always been hard on himself, but this was just ridiculous. âWhat? No. Stiles, I donât care if itâs not perfect or not exactly how you planned, werenât not just going to throw it all away. We still have time; we still have the whole evening.âÂ
âYeah, but weâre not going to make it to the beach in time for sunset and a tow truck could take hours, maybe all night!â he blurted, his frustration at the situation still growing.Â
Warmth filled her cheeks and a soft smile grew on her face. âYou were taking me to the beach for the sunset?â she said delicately. Her heart had never felt so full.Â
âYes,â he sighed. His hand then gestured toward the still steaming Jeep as he spoke, saying, âYeah, I was⌠Until this stupid piece of-âÂ
âYouâre the most adorable, romantic, sweet, and loving man in the world.â Her words were filled with such sincerity that Stiles froze, his face turning to the same rosy red as hers.Â
âWha-⌠Really? Youâre not, like, mad or something?â For some incomprehensible reason, he was struggling to believe the situation at hand. How could she be so understanding? Why was she so calm? And smiling? What the hell was going on?Â
âOf course Iâm not mad,â she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. âWhy would I be mad when I have the worldâs perfect boyfriend all to myself on Valentineâs Day?âÂ
He was faltering, his hands barely making contact with her waist. âIâm not perfectâŚâÂ
Her lips were firmly pressed against his instantly. âShut up. Yes, you are.âÂ
Stiles was floating, a nervous, blushing mess. How did he get so lucky?Â
After a little more convincing, Stiles agreed to go through with his plan on the side of the highway instead of the beach since they were still miles away. He made his girlfriend wait in the passenger seat with her eyes closed (he was very firm about that) while he moved the blanket from the backseat to the pavement and set up the red candles, red and pink flowers, sandwiches he made himself, and boxes of chocolates for dessert. Â
The scene in front of her when she opened her eyes was straight out of a romance movie. She was practically speechless as she moved towards the blanket to sit with her beau, both of them grinning uncontrollably. The evening turned out to be the most magical moment imaginable, beginning with a call with the towing company, of course. They spent the five-hour wait basking in the love they had for each other and the sunset that still made an appearance. Â
When it became too cold to sit outside any longer, they packed up and sat in the Jeep again, where Stiles opened his gift with glee. He nearly crushed her ribcage with the bear hug he gave her. And yes, it earned her a massage, of sorts, in the backseat. Â
Curled up against each other under the blanket, they exchanged handwritten love letters and read them out loud to each other, closing their very romantic date with a loving bang.
How do you think stiles would react to finding out his gf was cheated on in the past?
He gets busy and forgets to let her know heâll be late to their movie night and she immediately assumes the worst and heâs shocked to find her upset and self conscious and insecure when he finally makes it home.
I bet he would feel so bad even though he genuinely didnât do anything. He would be absolutely flabbergasted that anyone would dare step out on her. He would probably even get genuinely angry at the idiot when she tells the full story.
Oh my gosh, this is so sad yet sweet at the same time!
Since he doesn't already know that she was cheated on, walking in to see her in tears and unable to keep eye contact with him would be beyond confusing and concerning for him. He'd rush over to her, immediately wanting to hold her and talk everything out, asking what was wrong, only to painfully watch her take a step back from him.
"Where were you, Stiles? Where the hell were you?" she'd sob out, keeping a cautious hand between them.
He'd be thrown off by the question, not expecting an interrogation and stuttering his words out. "I-I was just helping Scott with a lead after practice, that's it, I swear..."
"Call him." she'd order, trying to sound like she has a grip on the situation, but her insecurity is evident.
"What?"
"Call him!" At this point, she's desperate, needing certainty and concrete proof that he's telling the truth.
Stiles almost jumps, still so confused about why she's so upset. "Ok, ok, I'm calling him right now. See?" He takes his phone out of his pocket and turns it so she can see what he's doing. He calls Scott right away.
Without giving him any context or revealing her presence, Stiles asks him to tell him all about their previous whereabouts. Scott speaks casually and simply but is clearly lost on why he's doing this. However, she knows he's telling the truth because he's not really known for his lying abilities...
Stiles hangs up right after she gets her proof. "There. Do you believe me now? Or can you at least tell me what's wrong? I hate seeing you like this, you know I hate it when y-" He stops at the feeling of her body practically crashing into his as she clings to him tightly, letting a few more soft sobs out. His mind goes blank for a second before he gets his bearings and wraps his arms around her in a firm embrace. "Hey... It's ok. I got you. Just talk to me. What's going on?"
With a shaky voice, she tells him everything. Certain details are harder to get out than others, so at some point, Stiles leads them to the couch, still holding her close as she curls up against his chest.
Empathizing with people can be hard for Stiles sometimes, but never with his sweet angel. A menagerie of emotions swirls inside of him as he listens to her well - guilt, anger, disgust, sympathy, protectiveness, the list goes on and on.
He gently holds her face in his hands, looking straight into her eyes as he makes her a promise to never do anything horrible like that to her, to never show her any disrespect, to always be faithful to her, and to always let her know if he'll be running late from then on.
Still cradling her against him, they decide to watch something innocent and peaceful, and land on Bambi. Stiles will never admit it, but he teared up at the mother's death, squeezing her even tighter. Thankfully, she fell asleep before the movie ended
Thank you so much for your submission! I'm pretty sure I switched tenses halfway through, but I am far too tired to reread and edit this... My apologies, we'll all just have to deal with it. đ

I'm so sorry that this took me so long to write, but here it finally is! Big thanks to @sleepyminyard for the encouragement! I'm considering making a second part someday, but I'll let you guys decide. Also, if you've seen American Assassin, I used Victor's name and description (kinda) from that movie to help myself visualize better. My sincerest apologies for the slight angst, but I hope you enjoy!
Stiles walked into work with a sigh. He was officially an employee of Dairy Queen for a whole week, though it already felt like it had been a year. He thought working at a fast-food establishment would be easy; he was wrong. Training nearly killed him, thanks to that stupid ice cream machine. Maybe it was his clumsiness that made using it such a struggle, but he believed the thing had it out for him. If his Jeep wasnât in grave shambles and didnât require every penny he had, he might consider walking away and finding some other job. But alas, Dairy Queen was a necessary evil.Â
He supposed it was sort of fun sometimes. He enjoyed discreetly tossing a few bits of candy into his mouth now and then, and talking to the costumers in the drive-thru with the headset made him feel like he was receiving orders from his captain on a spaceship. Â
However, he already had six little burns on his poor fingers from the fry oil, and he accidentally exploded another blizzard yesterday â the fourth one thus far. The manager gave him a warning, but they both knew that Beacon Hillsâ DQ was quite understaffed. They needed him, or someone like him. Stiles was the only applicant in many months. Â
Hearing the bell above the door chime, signaling that another customer was entering, he made his way over to the counter, not paying any attention to what was in front of him. âWelcome to Dairy Queen. What can I get for y-â Stiles froze as his eyes made contact with hers. Â
Just looking at her made his face flush, turning a deep red, and his hands suddenly felt clammy. He had never seen someone with such pure beauty. Every little detail pierced him as his gaze took her in. She was almost overwhelming. Â
Her smile at the awkward moment reeled him back in and he cleared his throat, blinking a few times. âSorry, uh... How can I help you?âÂ
As she gave him her order with that euphonious voice, he felt dizzy. And when the blizzard she asked for was the exact same as his favorite (since he was five years old), he almost felt out of breath. He couldnât stop the grin that formed on his face. Stiles was smitten!Â
He could see it all, right then and there: the sparkling ring heâd put on her finger, the long white dress sheâd wear, the quaint home theyâd live in together, the fuzzy puppy theyâd adopt. Everything wouldâve been perfect. Until he watched painfully as a tall, well-built, Ryan Gosling lookalike wrapped an arm around her waist and began listing his order too. Â
A pit formed in Stilesâ stomach, making him nauseous. He knew nothing about the guy, yet he already hated him. He unknowingly blocked out everything he said, too busy with the jealousy that began to spark inside of him. Â
He rubbed his forehead, trying to get his bearings. âUm, what was that?âÂ
An annoyed sigh left the âmanâ before he recited his order again: the most disgusting concoction Stiles had ever heard. Yep, he definitely hated him. Â
Stiles stared at him from around the corner as he made his blizzard, s He was too consumed to notice his hands drifting away from the mixer, causing ice cream to splatter everywhere, including all over him. âFuck, not again...â he muttered, his eyes closing and his head tilting back in frustration. The only bright side was that it wasnât her blizzard that exploded. Â
That stupid guy had the nerve to look over and laugh, pointing a finger at poor Stiles. âOh shit! Is it babyâs first day? Do you need a napkin?â he mocked, followed by more obnoxious laughter.Â
Holding back because he knew his manager was in his office, Stiles bit his lip. To his surprise, a voice did come through to defend him.Â
âKnock it off, Victor. Heâs just trying to do his job.â The angel of a girl stepped in front of him and urged him to take a seat in one of the booths. She then looked back at Stiles and gave him a sweet, sympathetic smile, which he returned. âIâm really sorry about him.âÂ
âItâs alright. Iâd probably laugh too.âÂ
âMaybe, but that wasnât just a laugh...â She lowered her voice as she continued, embarrassed by her boyfriendâs actions, âThat was an outburst.âÂ
Stiles suddenly felt horrible for her. The look on her face showed that this wasnât an unusual occurrence, and the guilt she clearly felt wasnât fair. Everything inside of him told him to hop over the counter and save her â run away with her, hug her close, and make her feel safe, loved, and appreciated. Unfortunately, that wasnât an option, and Victor looked like he could knock him out with one good punch.Â
âHey, really, itâs ok. Donât feel bad on his behalf.âÂ
Her smile partially returned. âWell, thank you. Iâll make sure he gives you a good tip.âÂ
âAlright, Iâm looking forward to it,â he said, chuckling.Â
With that, Stiles quickly wiped up what he could and made a new blizzard for the douchebag, this time without making a massive mess and a fool of himself. Once all of their order was together, he carried the trays to their table, making sure to flip both of the blizzards. He completely ignored Victorâs existence and focused on the beautiful smiling angel instead. Â
Walking away was harder than he thought it would be. In the short amount of time since he met her, he somehow grew attached to her. He couldnât explain why or how, but he knew he felt something strong for her. Â
He decided that watching her enjoy a meal with that scum was too much for him to bear, so he went on his lunch break and got some fresh air outside. He hoped that heâd at least see her lovely face one more time before they left, but when he came back inside, they were gone, just a crumpled ten-dollar bill left in their place, and his heart cracked. Stiles had no idea if heâd ever see her again, but he certainly hoped so. Â

Holding back because he knew his manager was in his office, Stiles bit his lip. To his surprise, a voice did come through to defend him.Â
âKnock it off, Victor. Heâs just trying to do his job.â The angel of a girl stepped in front of him and urged him to take a seat in one of the booths. She then looked back at Stiles and gave him a sweet, sympathetic smile, which he returned. âIâm really sorry about him.âÂ
âItâs alright. Iâd probably laugh too.âÂ
âMaybe, but that wasnât just a laugh...â She lowered her voice as she continued, embarrassed by her boyfriendâs actions, âThat was an outburst.âÂ
Stiles suddenly felt horrible for her. The look on her face showed that this wasnât an unusual occurrence, and the guilt she clearly felt wasnât fair. Everything inside of him told him to hop over the counter and save her â run away with her, hug her close, and make her feel safe, loved, and appreciated. Unfortunately, that wasnât an option, and Victor looked like he could knock him out with one good punch.Â
âHey, really, itâs ok. Donât feel bad on his behalf.âÂ
Her smile partially returned. âWell, thank you. Iâll make sure he gives you a good tip.âÂ
âAlright, Iâm looking forward to it,â he said, chuckling.Â
With that, Stiles quickly wiped up what he could and made a new blizzard for the douchebag, this time without making a massive mess and a fool of himself. Once all of their order was together, he carried the trays to their table, making sure to flip both of the blizzards. He completely ignored Victorâs existence and focused on the beautiful smiling angel instead. Â
Walking away was harder than he thought it would be. In the short amount of time since he met her, he somehow grew attached to her. He couldnât explain why or how, but he knew he felt something strong for her. Â
He decided that watching her enjoy a meal with that scum was too much for him to bear, so he went on his lunch break and got some fresh air outside. He hoped that heâd at least see her lovely face one more time before they left, but when he came back inside, they were gone, just a crumpled ten-dollar bill left in their place, and his heart cracked. Stiles had no idea if heâd ever see her again, but he certainly hoped so. Â
YES YES YES. PLEASE AND THANK YOU
lazy cuddles with stiles sound sooooo good rn
like maybe youâve had a long day or maybe you took a day off just to be together. but youâre both in bed with light filtering through the windows as you talk about everything and nothing.
his arms around you and his head on your chest, your hands running through his hair as you hum softly. maybe itâs the tune of a song you like or maybe itâs random notes in a non-sequential order but nonetheless itâs a soothing sound.
you focus on his breathing at certain times, just to make sure heâs still there. reveling in the fact that heâs real and this is a moment you want to remember forever. itâs pure domesticity and bliss and you wish that it was always like this.
maybe he asks you questions or maybe heâs telling stupid jokes to make you smile because thatâs his favorite sight in the world. maybe his hands move to tickle you because your laughter brings him unfettered joy. and when he settles, he just looks at you like youâre his entire world. because you are.
soft, sweet kisses at sporadic moments just because he loves you so much and the urge overtakes him.
just. ugh i need stiles comfort rn.
hii! this is my first time requesting, buuut could possibly you write something with stiles and a popular reader? maybe theyâre paired together on a project and realize they have a lot in common? maybe a sort of an enemies to lovers type thing đ
No worries! I actually love this idea, thank you! I just got kind of busy and couldn't put much time into this, but I tried my best so hopefully you enjoy it :)
Alright folks, here we go...

(Stiles' POV)
You know those incredibly rare days when you wake up and don't immediately hate everything? When you have a sliver of hope for something good to happen? Yeah, those lovely, delicate, beautiful days, I know you know what I'm talking about.
So my point is, I had (or thought I had) one of those days when my alarm went off one morning, but evidently, I was wrong. And not just a whoops-a-daisy type of wrong. No. I'm talking about the utterly horrific, catastrophically disastrous type. I realized this when I heard who my math teacher paired me with for the graph poster project.
Hearing her name made me immediately roll my eyes and I had to force myself not to audibly groan in agony. I glanced over at her from across the room and saw the same look of distaste on her face that I had on mine. 'Great,' I thought, probably still glaring at her.
Usually, I don't mind popular girls because they're so far out of my league and don't give me the time of day to even reject me in the first place. However, when it comes down to this girl - no. That is way too kind. This evil, mocking, slimy, sinister, know-it-all wench was too intolerable for me to cope with that day. Despite the fact that I've never actually had a conversation with her or even said a word to her, I always had a bad feeling about her. I just didn't trust someone who was so clearly sucking up to her teachers to get away with stuff. Ok, fine, I didn't know if that was exactly true. But how did no one else hate her? How did she even get that popular in the first place? It didn't add up and I didn't like it.
Once the bitch who destroyed my hopes and dreams for the day finally finished blabbing about the damned project, I waited for my infuriatingly slow partner to come sit down at my table so we could start. For some odd reason, when I looked over at her, she was still sitting in her seat, apparently waiting for me to go over to her. She tried waving her hand in her direction to draw me in, but I held my ground, scoffing at her sad attempt. Rolling her eyes, she reluctantly got up and sat down next to me, clearly having an attitude. And then we just sat there for a moment, festering in uncomfortable annoyance until she eventually looked at me.
"Are you going to start the project, or not?" she said bluntly, which caught me off guard.
"Um, excuse me? Am I? Me? Are you serious right now? Do you know what the definition of a partner is? Because I highly doubt that tiny brain of yours does if you think I'm doing this shit by myself," I hissed back.
"Wow, you are just as dramatic as I thought. Obviously, I'm not that dumb, I was just trying to piss you off enough to actually speak instead of just scowling in your seat."
I stared at her in disbelief, incapable of understanding the audacity that girl just had. However, begrudgingly, we started the project.
"You're doing that wrong by the way," she spoke casually. My eyebrows furrowed and I stared intensely at the equation I was solving.
"Uh... No, I'm not."
For some reason, she started getting frustrated with me, even though she was delusional for thinking I was doing absolutely anything incorrectly, saying, "Um, yes you literally are. Have you not been paying attention this entire unit?"
I looked at her with incredulity as I spoke unconfidently, "I... Well... More than you have, for sure. You're always busy chatting with your little minions. Besides, I don't even need to pay attention. Math isn't that hard for people with more than three brain cells."
"Then how come you're doing it wrong?" She looked at me with amusement and it almost made me nauseous.
Then, I snapped at her - probably more aggressively than I should have - but she earned that reaction when she intentionally pissed me off. And so, our spiteful jabs continued as we worked on the project.
By the time we finished, things started getting quiet between us. She pulled out a small book from her backpack and began reading to fill the extra time left in class. I tilted my head as I read the title: "The Fellowship of the Ring." I couldn't help but smirk to myself, but unfortunately, she noticed.
"What?" she said, her eyebrows furrowing.
My eyes quickly lifted to hers as I spoke, trying to sound innocent, "I didn't say anything."
"Yeah, but your face did."
My lips parted, suddenly feeling like I had switched roles and was talking to a version of myself. I've said those exact words about a hundred times - what parallel universe did I just teleport to?
Suddenly, her pencil hit my face, snapping me out of my apparent staring, and she continued, "Is there a reason why you're looking at me like that, or are you just a creep?"
"I, yeah, um... No. Wait, what?" I stuttered, making a fool of myself.
"Are you on drugs or something?"
"Um, no, definitely not."
"Ok, then what the hell is wrong with you?"
I quickly rubbed my face, trying to get a grip. Truth be told, I had no freaking idea what was wrong with me. I couldn't even form a coherent sentence. For the first time since I was in the womb, my mind was empty.
Finally, after looking like an idiot for way too long, I cleared my throat and tried again in a nervous tone, "Do-... Do you like the movies?"
"Huh?" She looked at me like I was crazy.
"The movies. The Lord of the Rings movies. You like them, or...?"
"Oh, um, yeah. I've been wanting to read the books for a while but kept forgetting to renew my library card." Her expression seemed to soften quickly, which made me smile slightly for a reason I didn't understand at the time.
"Yeah? It's been a while since I've seen them, but they were some of my favorites as a kid, after Star Wars, of course."
It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that only a month later, we were cuddled up under a blanket on her couch, binge-watching The Lord of the Rings movies to celebrate her completion of the books. I looked down at her, enjoying her company more than whatever Frodo was complaining about, and just smiled.
I never thought that I would have a conversation with the most well-known girl at Beacon Hills High School, let alone hold her hand around the halls, hug her before class, or kiss her before dropping her off at her house after a date. But, apparently, all those corny quotes that English teachers love are, in fact, true: you really can't judge a book by its cover, and you also can't fold the corner of a book page (your girlfriend will smack you in the face). Oh, and also, your hope getting snatched away by your math teacher doesn't mean that nothing good will come out of the experience that you get from it. Who knows, maybe you'll end up falling in love with and losing your virginity to the most beautiful, wonderful, perfect girl in existence, just like me.
Pairing â Stiles Stilinski x Gender Neutral reader
Summary â Some headcanons I have for dating Stiles!
Memoâ This is probably kind of ooc because I'm so overdue for a Teen Wolf rewatch but I think these fit well!
Word Count â 543
Stiles is the type to send you a million texts throughout the dayâsome sweet, some completely unhinged. One minute, itâs âThinking about how cute you looked this morningâ and the next, âIf I turned into a dog but still had my head, would you still love me?â
He constantly finds ways to make you laugh, whether itâs dramatically re-enacting entire movie scenes, putting on ridiculous accents, or just making weird faces at you from across the room.
Despite all his chaos, heâs actually incredibly attentive. He notices when your mood shifts, when youâre overwhelmed, and when you just need a moment of quiet.
If youâre having a bad day, he shows up with your favourite snacks, a hoodie that smells like him, and a marathon of your comfort show queued upâno questions asked.
He definitely overthinks things sometimes, but it just means he puts extra effort into making you feel special. You offhandedly mention liking a certain kind of drink? Now your pantry is stocked with every flavour from that brand.
Stiles is obsessed with holding your hand. Walking? Holding hands. Sitting on the couch? Your fingers are laced together. Driving? One hand on the wheel, the other squeezing yours.
He makes up the most ridiculous pet names for you, and the worst part is they change daily. One day itâs âSugar Muffin Supreme,â the next itâs âDetective Snuggle Pants.â You never know whatâs coming next.
He will 100% go out of his way to find the weirdest, most specific memes that he knows will make you laugh and send them at random timesâespecially if he knows youâre busy and trying to be serious.
Heâs your biggest hype man. Whether itâs a new outfit, a school achievement, or something as small as getting out of bed on a tough day, heâs right there cheering you on like you just won an Olympic medal.
Loves teasing you but gets so soft the second you give him a look. His sarcasm might be legendary, but the second you pout, heâs pulling you into his arms and muttering apologies against your hair.
If youâre having trouble sleeping, heâll tell you the most nonsensical, rambling stories until you eventually pass out. Half of them involve conspiracy theories or supernatural creatures, but his voice is so soothing that it doesnât even matter.
Absolutely insists on dramatic forehead kisses. Any excuse to lean in close, pause for dramatic effect, and press a slow, lingering kiss to your skin like heâs in a romance movie.
Stiles is a huge cuddler. Heâll dramatically sigh and drape himself over you like a human blanket, whining if you try to move away. Whether itâs spooning, you lying on his chest while he traces patterns on your back, or tangled limbs on the couch while watching TV, he always has to be touching you in some way. If you get up in the middle of the night, he groggily mumbles âNooo, stay,â and tries to pull you back into bed. He doesnât even care if heâs boiling hotâhe will suffer in the name of cuddles.
Stiles loves you with his whole heart, and heâs not subtle about it. He's loud, ridiculous, and a little chaoticâbut also warm, unwavering, and completely, hopelessly devoted to you.
His little smirk...

As Dylan slowly and comfortably begins to wake up from one of the best rests he's had in a while, he pulls his girlfriend closer, pressing her back to his chest. He hums contently and mumbles softly against her hair, "Morning, sleepyhead."
When he doesn't feel any movement in response from her, he lifts his head and looks at her peacefully sleeping face, bringing a smile to his lips. Evidently, she's still recovering from the previous night of fun they had after not seeing each other for a week, which felt like forever to them. He moves her hair away from her neck and presses lazy kisses against her skin.
"Wake up, sleepyhead... I need my morning affection," Dylan whispers as his pecks to her face and neck continue, causing her to softly groan and recoil, curling up into a ball underneath the covers. He chuckles, noticing her desperation to keep sleeping. "Hey, come back up here," he says, while wrapping his arms around her torso and pulling her back into the cuddle.
She sighs softly, letting her body relax again, until she feels a gentle bite to her neck. In a groggy and somewhat whiney tone, she protests, "Dylan..."
He chuckles again and uses an innocent tone, "Hey, I was being gentle. Just relax and let me wake you up."
"I don't want to wake up though..." Her words slur a bit due to her present sleepiness.
His hold on her gets a little tighter, "But think about all the benefits of waking up, like eating breakfast, and kissing your boyfriend, and listening to LA traffic, and kissing your boyfriend, and... and kissing your boyfriend..." He laughs lightly and buries his face into the crook of her neck.
A small smile appears on her face, yet she keeps her eyes closed. Her tone becomes more content and even a little cheerful, "Ok... But give me like, ten minutes."
Dylan laughs again and nuzzles into her neck more. "Ok. Ten minutes. But after that, I need your cooperation."
"Deal."

Note: The beginning of this is kind of sad, so I apologize, but I did my best to make the ending fluffy because that's what everyone decided on (in this poll). I can't tell if this sucks... I tried though, so oh well.
Feeling his body tremble from his soft sobs was devastating. Every tear that fell was another crack in her broken heart. She wished she knew what to do or say to make it all better for her sweet Stiles.Â
It had been a long, grueling week, particularly for him. Between attending school, playing lacrosse, battling the supernatural, being a good, and supporting his girlfriend, he couldnât find the time to process emotions, and resorted to shoving them downward instead. This was a horrible habit he knew he had, but Stiles didnât try to break it because he didnât know how to address it. There was always something more important he had to do.Â
So, he was back where he was every few weeks, laying stomach-down on his girlfriendâs bed with his face buried into lap as he finally let himself feel. Exhaustion, frustration, disappointment, sadness, and hopelessness poured out of his soul, nearly drowning him. Â
She did everything she could to soothe his tense muscles and labored breathing â combing her fingers through his already disheveled hair, rubbing his back and shoulder blades, and whispering the insufficient words of comfort that came to mind â but this was out of both of their control. Although, he did feel a sense of safety with his face pressed against her thighs, as if it was a shelter for his tears. Â
All he could do was ride out the episode, a necessary evil to reset himself and empty that jar in the dark corner of his heart that was reserved for emotions he didnât want or couldnât be bothered with. Unfortunately, this ride was not on a clear path, but rather one with ups and downs, and bumps and twists. Some points were much more intense and painful, while others were softer and sadder. Time was unidentifiable. Â
Eventually, his torment faded away and his usually light gradually began to fill him again. She gave him the time he needed to completely calm down and regain his strength, so Stiles stayed where he was while his breathing evened out and his heartbeat returned to a normal pace. He was grateful that her soft gestures continued on. It was truly astonishing that she never ceased, showing her patience and dedication to him with every movement. Â
Suddenly, he lifted his head up to look into her eyes with his swollen red ones. âDo you want to go get some ice cream?âÂ
Of all things, she was not expecting this. She stared back at him with confusion, questioning his sanity yet again. âWhat? Right now?â she managed to say.Â
âYeah,â he responded simply, sniffling.Â
âUm... I mean, yeah, we can, but are you ok?â She was clearly still concerned; who wouldnât be after everything she just witnessed seconds ago?Â
He sniffled again before speaking again. âYeah, yeah, Iâm good. Letâs go get some ice cream.â A little smile began growing on his lips, causing the same to happen to his girlfriend.Â
âAlright, but Stiles-âÂ
âIâll be absolutely perfect as soon as you let me buy us some ice cream, ok?â he insisted as he sat up right in front of her.Â
âWait, no, you canât pay.âÂ
âAnd whyâs that?â Â
âBecause Iâm taking care of you tonight.â She scowled just slightly at his smirk.Â
âNo, you already did take care of me,â he persisted, leaning in kiss her lips gently. âItâs my turn now, and I want ice cream.âÂ
She was flustered, very flustered, but couldnât say no to him, especially after his kiss. So, she reluctantly gave in. âFine. But are you sure youâre ok? Do you need to talk about anything?âÂ
Stiles was already getting up and putting his hand out for her to take, helping her up. âMaybe on the way we can chat a little, but seriously, Iâm good. All thanks to you.âÂ
Smiling, he pulled her closer by her waist. It wasnât fair that he knew exactly how to make her melt. He had complete control over her in a hypnotizing way, and she loved it. She couldnât explain it with words, but she was addicted to his, well, everything.Â
After a lovely drive and a bit of chatting, Stiles bought them theyâre favorite ice cream, as promised, and they enjoyed it between more kisses while sitting in the Jeep. As much as he loved treats, she was his favorite treat of all.Â
âYouâre delicious, you know that?âÂ
âShut up, you weirdo.âÂ
âI can see you blushing. It might be dark outside, but I can still see it. Donât be ashamed of how delicious you are.âÂ
âStiles, I will throw your cone out of this window right now if you donât shut the hell up.âÂ
âHa! Iâd like to see you try.âÂ
And just like that, Stiles was back to his normal, whacky self.Â
I'm hoping to write this weekend, but feel free to send any other fluffy ideas you have! I love hearing from people, it makes me so happy to know that my little efforts to do Stiles justice have reached others! Thank you all for your contributions. đ
I don't know when I'll have time to write again, which I apologize for - it makes me sad too. However, when I do get around to it, what would everyone like to see first?

It was late when Stiles tumbled through his girlfriend's bedroom window with a thud as his lanky body hit the ground, abruptly waking her up. She quickly sat up and looked around with confusion, until his head popped up into her view.
Groggily, she questioned him and his ungraceful actions, "Stiles? What are you doing here? And what time is it? And can you not be so loud?"
He simply sighed and rolled his eyes as he crawled onto her bed, speaking with extreme sarcasm, "Oh, I woke the beast. Fucking fabulous."
"Excuse me?" Her tired eyes narrowed at him and he conjured a not-so-genuine smile. Seeing through it, she spoke bluntly, "Stiles, why are you here?"
His smile quickly faded, leaving him with a pout, "I miss you..."
She looked at him for a moment, searching his eyes for any hidden intentions. "Physically or emotionally?" she asked, with caution.
The question threw him off-guard, and he responded warily, "Why are those my only options?"
"Because you're acting suspicious," she stated bluntly.
He stared at her with incredulity, "Missing my girlfriend is suspicious?"
"I suppose not, but breaking into her house could be considered highly suspicious"
Stiles shrugged as he spoke, "Yeah, but I break into your house all the time. This is just normal behavior for me."
She looked down and nodded slowly in hesitant agreement, "True... So, what do you want?" Her eyes met his again, still filled with suspicion.
"Can you just trust me when I say that I honestly and sincerely miss you?" Stiles was getting tired of the interrogation, and desperate for the comfort he went there for. Although, he recognized that her tone was similar to one he'd used countless of times, and deep down, he felt a small sense of pride to know that his attributes rubbed off on her.
"Well, that brings us back to my first question: physically or emotionally?" she said, keeping her chin up, despite how groggy she still was from being woken up less than five minutes ago.
He couldn't believe that all this bickering led them absolutely nowhere, and his light frustration showed in his voice, "I-... Both!? Just..." He sighed before continuing with a softer tone, "Relax, and let me hug you."
Her expression dulled and she nodded, feeling a yawn catch up to her. Relieved by her compliance, Stiles scooted closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. His familiar comfort consumed her as she breathed him in, and they slowly leaned back onto her bed, his body laying on top of her's. Feeling her hands move up and down his back and her lips planting a kiss to his hair brought a smile to his face. He lifted his head just enough to gently and slowly kiss her.
"For the record, I missed you too," she said quietly, unable to hide the smile she had, matching his.
A faintly smug look appeared on his face. "I knew it," he remarked, before closing his eyes to kiss her again.
It didn't take long for the cuddled couple to peacefully fall asleep, sharing each other's warmth and love after such a silly and meaningless debate.
I don't know when I'll have time to write again, which I apologize for - it makes me sad too. However, when I do get around to it, what would everyone like to see first?

Thank you for your time.
Heyy, I saw you were looking for requests and I was wondering if you would be willing to write Stiles Stilinksi asking reader on a date? What is your interpretation of his approach? What would the pining stage look like? Would he trip over his words? Is he still his usual cocky self? Would he be straightforward? Hopefully this gave you some inspiration and donât feel pressured to write this if you donât feel like it <3
I love this so much and it actually inspired me to write a New Year themed imagine, so thank you! Sorry it took so long to respond, but the holidays are a hectic time for everyone. I hope you like it and Happy New Year! đ

Stiles woke up on New Yearâs Eve with a heavy weight on his shoulders. Everyone around him, all of his friends, even his father â they were all ecstatic about the fresh start and the chance to improve themselves again, as if all of those unrealistic goals werenât going to disintegrate within the first few weeks, just like every other year. It was a waste of hope. But thatâs not why Stiles was feeling so discouraged with himself.
That day was his last chance to achieve the goal he made 364 days ago: ask her out. One of his closest friends, favorite people, and biggest inspirations was the girl he met when he was a wee tot and had the privilege of growing up with. She always knew how to make him smile and she always let him go on lengthy rants, no matter how ridiculous they were. She listened and talked back, and made him feel normal and safe. This girl was everything he needed when he was lacking something. Somehow, she figured it out and did her best, resulting in a very happy and fulfilled Stiles.
He didnât realize how truly drawn to her he was until last December when he saw the purity and kindness in her eyes as she handed him the thoughtful, personal Christmas present she made just for him. Plus, watching her go through and finish puberty was an excellent, yet sometimes painful, bonus (wink wink).
Every single day began with determination and ended with despair and frustration. He was so good at talking, it was one of his many talents, and he used it to give himself the advantage in all settings. So, he couldnât understand why the words âWill you go out with me?â refused to make an appearance while he conversed with her. They constantly raced through his head, but shoving them out of his mouth was like forcing a mule to bake cookies.
Maybe it was fear, or doubt, possibly a dash of incredulity. Or maybe all of the above. Stiles had no clue because his desire to just say the damn words was eating him alive. His tongue was burning, but instead of putting out the flames, he subconsciously diverted his attention by bringing up some other lame conversation topic. He wasnât sure if he had control of his own brain at that point due to how incredibly long this was taking him.
He decided to do it at the packâs celebration at Scottâs house. He would pull her aside at some point and casually let it slip out, and it would all be fine. Right? The party was starting at nine, giving him two hours and fifty-nine minutes to figure it out. Thatâs plenty of time. Right? Right...?
Stiles was frantic and pacing around his room. He didnât intend to put it off this long, he honestly and wholeheartedly wanted to achieve his goal before the year ended, but the stakes were getting higher and more intimidating. Plus, getting rejected would be a horrible way to start a new year. He had enough bad luck, he couldnât handle any more.
âFuck...â he groaned under his breath, running his hands through his hair and down his face.
âDo I need to pull out the swear jar from when you were ten?â
Stiles nearly broke his neck while whipping his head to look at the man standing in the doorway of his bedroom. âDad? What- I mean, uh, no. What are you doing here? Shouldnât you be doing your sheriff duties and arresting middle-aged drunk uncles?â
âIâm leaving for the station in a few hours, itâs only noon.â Noah wasnât too excited to lead to night shift, especially on New Yearâs Eve, and Stilesâ lips made a thin line when he realized that most people werenât drunk yet. âWhy are you so tense?â
âIâm not tense!â he spit back, a little too quickly, earning him raised eyebrows from his father. Stiles relaxed his shoulders as he attempted to make a smooth recovery. âIâm just mentally preparing for all of the self-improvement Iâm going to be doing tomorrow.â
The sheriff remained unamused and disbelieving. âLike what?â
âLike... jazzercise?â Stiles winced as soon as he said such an absurd fib, knowing well that it wouldnât get him out of his interrogation.
âReally? You too?â
The boyâs jaw dropped. There was no way... âWait, what?â
Smirking, just like his son had done countless times, and turning to walk down the hall, he said, âI better not have to arrest you too tonight.â
Stiles let out a breath of relief and called out after him. âIâll be on my best behavior! Donât you worry, Pops!â
With clammy hands, he drove to Scottâs house, already losing time because he was running late. He may have cut himself while attempting to shave the peach fuzz on his chin, and there was a lot of blood. Embarrassing for him, but his intentions to look his best for the biggest night of his life thus far were undoubtedly sweet.
Parking against the curb across the street, he recognized the other cars around him, signifying that he was the last to arrive. The clock was ticking way too fast. He didnât want to believe that it was already 9:38, but he sort of had to. He had shit to do.
He took a long swig of water from the plastic bottle that had been festering in the cupholder for who knows how long, took a deep breath, and swung his door open. Marching up to the front door, he tried to shake the anxiety out through his hands and focused on taking more deep breaths, but suddenly he was sweating all over and his mouth was dry yet again. These side effects made him shake his head and roll his eyes at himself. Heâd known this girl forever, the worst she could say was no. Or laugh in his face...
He slapped his own cheek and whispered harshly, âGet it together, Stiles. Be a man. Itâs just a few little words. Youâve had all year to do this. Youâve done enough preparing. Be a man.â
At last, he stepped into his best friendâs home and saw everyone seated around the coffee table, playing Uno with two decks: Aiden, Isaac, Allison, and Ethan were relaxed on the couch as Scott, Kira, Malia, Mason, Liam, and Stilesâ favorite gal sat on pillows and cushions on the floor. Well, except for Malia â she âdidnât care about a hard floorâ and âgrew up on them.â
âStiles! Youâre here!â That pretty voice and smile caught his attention. âHere, come sit with me, you can just be on my âteamâ until this game is over,â she said, scooting over and making room for him on her cushion.
His heart just about melted and he quickly sat down next to her, against her, which sent tingles through his body.
The game continued, but all he wanted to do was demand that everyone leave them alone so he could spill his guts and beg for a date. He was beginning to feel a bit hot and queasy, and he repeatedly checked the time as the minutes slowly passed. However, he watched her closely during her turns and quietly whispered strategy advice over her shoulder to aid her in disposing of her cards. Hearing her whisper back, raving about how smart he was made him blush furiously.
âHey, what happened to your chin?â she asked while Allison played her turn.
Stiles looked at her with confusion at first. âMy what?â Realization washed over him as his fingertips brushed over the tender mark left behind from his earlier incident. The fact that she noticed made his face turn another shade darker. âOh, that. Itâs nothing. Basically a paper cut.â
âBasically?â
âKind of. Almost.â
âAlmost a paper cut? How does paper almost cut you and still leave a mark?â she said, a smile growing on her face.
Chuckling, he gave in. âAlright, fine. I cut myself while shaving. But I swear it wasnât my fault. The razor just came at me out of nowhere!â
Hearing her laugh at his dumb joke made him grin like a doofus (a cute doofus).
âWow, I didnât know you even knew how to shave. Are you sure youâre ready for that?â
âHey! Iâve been shaving for years, you just havenât noticed because Iâm so skilled at it. Iâm as precise as a ninja.â
âClearly not, since you cut yourself,â she pointed out, smirking.
âI told you; it was the razor!â
After a couple more games of Uno, the group diverted into other activities: chatting, dancing, snacking, arm wrestling, etc. But every time Stiles could pull away and hunt her down, someone would drag her into another conversation or game of Connect 4. Usually, he wouldnât mind yanking a person wherever he wanted, however, that look of joy she wore made it impossible for his hands to reach out.
Additionally, a stronger feeling of guilt was creeping over him. The fear of somehow violating her and making her feel uncomfortable with their friendship formed a blackhole in his stomach. He couldnât bear being responsible for flipping her whole world upside down. What if she didnât want to see him again? Or what if she tells everyone that heâs a creep? What if he has to disappear forever?
Of course, these scenarios he was conjuring were completely unrealistic; he knew that because he knew her. He knew almost everything there was to know about her. He studied her soul with interest and delight because she was so enticing and alluring to him. She was like a beautiful mystical creature who blessed him with companionship. Though, as the time inched closer to his deadline, he seemed to lose his sense of reality.
Before he knew it, the pack was gathering around the TV, watching the countdown on the local News, and finding a couch, chair, or fireplace to jump off of and into the New Year. Stilesâ heart was thumping and he felt faint. He was pulled up onto the couch by the hood of his jacket, and he looked over to see that pretty smile again, but he only frowned as people began counting down.
â10, 9...â
âStiles?â
With a shaky jaw, he bit his lip.
â...8, 7...â
âWhatâs wrong?â
â...6, 5, 4...â
âStiles-â
â...3, 2...â
âWill you go out with me?â he finally blurted, feeling hot tingles rush through him in waves.
Her jaw went slack.
â...1! Happy New Year!â
Everyone jumped down and cheered in celebration, blissfully unaware of the thick air surrounding the pair who awkwardly stepped down from the couch.
Stiles stared at her blank face before deciding to let his stupid hopes and dreams die in that living room. He didnât want to keep looking into those eyes with the knowledge of the inevitable consequences that would soon be coming his way.
She glanced around and saw a couple kisses being shared, but when her gaze returned to Stiles, he was turning away, preparing to walk out of there as quickly as possible. Letting her instincts take over, she grabbed his shoulders, turned him around and placed a sweet but firm kiss on his cheek.
The boyâs eyes widened and his face and neck turned bright red, once again.
âYes, I will go out with you.â She beamed at him with rosy cheeks.
Stiles kept staring at her with wide eyes until he cleared his throat and somewhat pulled himself together. âOh, yeah, cool. Thatâs, um, really cool.â
âCool? Stiles, Iâve been waiting forever for you to ask me out, and now that you have, all youâre saying is âcoolâ?â
His eyebrows shot up, realizing how insanely inappropriate his reaction was. âOh my god, I am such an idiot, that is not what I meant at all, I swear-â He stopped suddenly. âWait. Youâve been waiting for me to ask you out forever?â
She simply smiled at him again. âHappy New Year, Stiles.â
Why do I feel like Stiles would work at Dairy Queen... Lol anyway. I may or may not be trying to write something in time for New Year's Eve tomorrow. Wish me luck, I'm literally starting right now. Curse me and my procrastination skills.
I don't have time to write an entire drabble or whatever, but please, in honor of Christmas Eve, just think for a moment about Stiles frantically wrapping presents and making an absolute mess.
Imagine it's late, almost midnight, and he completely forgot to wrap the gifts he bought. He's huffing and puffing, shoving the paper over the boxes and other strangely shaped items, and smashing a ridiculous amount of tape on every corner and crevice. It's a shit show, but he needs to get it done.
In the middle of this chaos, his girlfriend calls him to wish him a good night and whatnot, and she can hear his rushed frustration and trouble with making his two lanky hands work the way he wants them to. She asks him if he's ok and what the hell is he doing?
He brushes her off and simply tells her that he forgot to do something important, yet again. She easily guesses the task at hand, thanks to all the noise he's making, and offers to come over and help him.
He quickly shuts her down in a slight panic, telling her that she absolutely cannot come over. She then pesters him about why he's so against the prospect, and eventually he caves: most of the presents are for her.
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone who celebrates and happy holidays to all! I hope everyone has a lovely day and good luck to those who are struggling! đ

Rules on request??
Can you do one where Stiles finds out his girlfriend has a chronic illness like lupus or something and he adjust his life to be there every step for her. Even the time in the hospital he stays and sleeps in the bed with her holding her. He always seemed like he would be the golden retriever type 𩷠and she doesnât or does know about the pack you choose
This is literally the sweetest request ever and so on brand for him! I decided to "give" her something else because I don't know anything about lupus. I am definitely not a medical expert of any kind and I do not claim to be, but I have a couple family members who have the chronic illness I chose, so I am slightly familiar with it. Everyone should always do their own research though! What I wrote mostly focuses on the events before finding out, but I can continue this and go into more detail on what happens afterwards if people would like me to. Also, I apologize, but the last third, give or take is kind of rushed. I hope you like it though! Thank you for the request!
Also, I will take any request with a grain of salt and tweak things if I need or want to. But I'm open to anything!

His heart was racing and falling at the same time. There was no way this was actually happening, right? Not to her. Â
His hands shook as he gripped his phone to his ear. Focusing on Scottâs voice was getting increasingly more difficult as he tried not to spiral. Why didnât her dad tell him? Why wasnât he with her right then, holding her hand and sweeping away her worries. Shit, he was so worried, and Scott clearly didnât know all of what was actually going on. Â
âScott, wait, what are you saying?â Â
âSheâs here. In the hospital. All my mom told me was that she passed out and now theyâre doing brain scans.â His friend was plainly shaken up too.Â
Brain scans? Stiles felt sick. Everything he witnessed his mother go through when he was a little boy crashed into him all over again. What if this was the same thing? What if she had what his mom had? What if-Â
âIâm on my way.âÂ
Stiles broke nearly every traffic law in existence as he raced to Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital, to his beloved girlfriend. He needed to get there as fast as possible; he needed to know what was going on. He absolutely despised being out of the loop.Â
Frantically sprinting into the building and nearly running into not one, but two nurses who were going home for the night, he arrived at the front desk. But where the hell was Melissa?Â
His feet almost left the floor when the sweet voice broke through his rapid breathing, saying, âOh good, youâre here. Come with me.âÂ
Stiles turned to look at the curly-haired, soft-eyed woman. He couldnât help that his voice trembled as soon as he opened his mouth. âWhatâs going on? Is she ok? Did something happen to her? Have they found anything yet? Why did-âÂ
âStiles.â Melissa placed her aged hands on his shoulders in an attempt to ground him. âBreathe. Everythingâs going to be fine. Sheâs going to be fine.âÂ
âDo you really know that...?â he asked hesitantly.Â
She paused for a moment, understandably. There was no way to know anything for sure. Not yet, at least.Â
âLetâs just go see her for now, ok?âÂ
He nodded and let her guide him to his girlfriendâs room. As they walked, Ms. McCall told him everything she knew. She explained that the poor girl had passed out in the kitchen while helping her dad prepare dinner, banging her head on the corner of the granite countertop and burning her forearm with spilled gravy in the process. Her father practically carried her to the car as soon as she hazily woke up and brought her in to the hospital. Her second-degree burn was cleaned and treated before the doctor decided to check for a concussion. Hearing the true explanation for the CT scan relatively eased Stilesâ nerves, but there was still so much to decipher. He needed to see her, preferably immediately.Â
They reached the door of the room she was checked into when they moved her from the ER. However, Melissa did not reach for the handle, causing Stiles to give her a look of curiosity.Â
âStiles,â she started, exhaling a deep breath, âI want you to be prepared for whatever this is.âÂ
His curiosity deepened and twisted as the spires of concern within him sharpened and stood taller. âWha- what does that mean?âÂ
âIt means that, sometimes, something as small as passing out isnât always as small as it seems...â Â
The womanâs eyes were filled with a specific type of pain, one that Stiles was familiar with, but hadnât seen in her for years. Since he was so young when his mother was sick, he never truly realized how much agony Melissa experienced as she watched a dear friend (and that friendâs family) of hers suffer. It brought her a horrible aching sensation to see the damage a singular disease could inflict on three good, genuine people, and not be able to do something significant to help. That was her job â to help. But there was really nothing she or anyone was capable of to improve the situation. Â
Stiles swallowed in a faulty attempt to soothe his suddenly dry throat. He simply nodded, and in return, the sweet nurse gave him an empathetic smile. Of course, she didnât want to scare him with what she said, but she had given bad news too many times that week.Â
âAre you ready?âÂ
He sighed, trying to take her advice and finding it incredibly arduous. âYeah, I think so.âÂ
As they quietly entered, Stilesâ eyes softened upon seeing the girl who stole his heart sitting up on the hospital bed. She looked incredibly tired, but watching her mouth curve upwards when her gaze met his made him feel like the luckiest man alive. Not because of the situation, obviously, but because that cute little smile was for him. Â
âHey, stranger.â Her raspy voice was surprisingly gleeful, all things considered. Perhaps Stiles just had that effect on her.Â
âHey,â he chuckled. âYou feeling ok?âÂ
She simply shrugged and glanced at her father who was standing next to the bed. Â
Begrudgingly, the man cleared his throat and excused himself from the room. He supposed that giving the lovebirds no more than a couple minutes wouldnât result in an utter catastrophe, even when Stiles is one of the pair in question, who hastily sat down on the edge of the bed as soon as the door clicked closed. Â
âAre you sure youâre ok? Do you need me to get you anything? What can I do?â He took her hands into his.Â
Her smile grew as she saw the love and devotion he had for her, not to mention the worry. She didnât want him to stress himself out, but she had to admit that those wide eyes were adorable. Â
âIâm fine, I swear. Just... stay with me for a while?â she said, her voice turning bashful.Â
âAbsolutely. Thereâs nowhere else Iâd rather be. Got that?â His hands squeezed hers as he leaned forward.Â
âYeah,â she nodded, her face approaching his, âI got that.âÂ
As if he had a sixth sense for his daughterâs desires, the man swiftly entered the room again, causing both of the teensâ head to lurch backwards. Stiles tried to be sly as he slowly and awkwardly pulled his hands away and stood from the bed, backing away cautiously. A doctor stood in the doorway, along with Melissa.Â
âDr. Vandenberg wants to run a few more tests while we wait for the CT scan results, just in case itâs not a concussion.â Her father began pulling his phone out of his pocket. âI have some things I need to do for work, but Iâll be back in the morning, alright? Is that ok with you?â Â
The information that was sprung on her felt like a spear piercing her spine and sending a poison of anxiety rushing through her bloodstream. All she could do was nod. There was no other option, anyway. Â
He nodded back at her before his eyes locked onto Stiles. âYouâre staying with her.âÂ
It was more of a command than anything, but the boy would never object to that regardless of whose mouth those words left. Â
âYes, sir.â Â
Stiles was by her side for as many tests as he was permitted. He could tell that this was more frightening for her than she was divulging; it was harrowing. Therefore, he desperately desired to bring her some semblance of comfort. And he succeeded, to a degree.Â
Afterwards, their time together was briefly ceased while he picked up the closest thing to a couple of ârealâ burgers Beacon Hills could provide. They contentedly ate their late dinner together, squished against one another once she made room for him next to her. He kissed away the condiment that was smeared on the corner of her mouth, making her giggle. Â
Additionally, he held her close and kept his eyes glued to her form, making sure she was snuggly falling asleep without interruption. Without realizing it, he, too, was swept away into a slumber. Their trepidations momentarily fizzled and were replaced by fantasy-filled dreams, and morning rolled in fast.Â
When her father returned, the doctor explained the various test results they received. Stilesâ girlfriend was officially diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a chronic illness which frequently inflicts dizziness and fainting due to a lower blood volume returning to the heart. It can be managed with an increased intake of salt and water, but will be part of her for the rest of her life. Â
Stiles felt a surge of anger at the news â there was nothing he could do to make this nuisance of a disease go away and his girlfriend did nothing to deserve it. However, he swore to himself that he would stay by her side, hold her hand, and keep her safe whenever her body got the best of her. Â
He kept his promise throughout the rest of school, their engagement after he proposed, and their marriage. He did whatever he could to help, whether necessary or not. He always went the extra mile for her, even though it wasnât an illness that would debilitate her from living her life. However, it was definitely inconvenient and dangerous at times.Â
There was an instance in which she passed out while driving on the freeway, leaving her car to drift into the guard rails. Thankfully, there was very little traffic, so no one else got hurt. However, she was back in the hospital with a few minor injuries and her husband (for every minute of the stay). Â
This battle was never fought alone, and Stiles had a unique talent for making her feel cared for without any semblance of being coddled. He knew how admirably strong she was and exactly when she needed him to step in and hold her. POTS would not break her, nor their bond. Â
