Disclaimer: I do not; own the show/series 'Teen Wolf', its characters or story(s).
So do not sue me people. Seriously though… don't cause I'm a fun person and I'm pleasant- or so I've been told, meh.
Summary: "I see you for who not just what you are. It's refreshing."
Ps: The story is AU. I doubt I'll add anything canon-ish. I can make this a proper story but for now it's just here.
M note: I was listening to 'Arsonist's Lullabye' by Hozier while counting cards with some people and I thought of this.
Isaac wants to go home but he no longer knows what that is.
Cannot wait to get out of his hometown but is utterly terrified of the outside world.
Personally he has never identified with the phrase 'home is where the heart is'.
If that were the case then his home died the day his mother left.
.
Isaac likes Mrs. McCall and Scott, can almost say.
Wants to say, won't but 'loves' is spot on.
However.
They serve as a constant reminder of what he can never have.
Allison is gone and she won't be back.
Where should he go?
He likes her father, Mr. Finstock and his pack.
He wants to leave.
He will return.
Something always pulls him back.
.
.
Scott will call if he needs help and he will answer once time has healed everything.
The moment he returns his wounds will open but his pack will stand by him as they stitch him up and he will smile.
Empty, forced.
Incredibly simple.
She understands.
.
Nothing has changed.
Lydia, Stiles and Scott are always wary but speak in soothing tones.
She knows better than to agree or to argue.
He is in it for a ghost.
Meredith only sees an image.
Years have passed her by and she is nothing.
Only howling fills when voices fade.
In his eyes she is something.
.
.
She is like him.
He is different.
In the only ways that matter.
Alone in a crowd.
Safe in solitude.
Uncomfortable in the spotlight.
Alive in the shadows.
Something sad and broken but beautiful, easy.
When she screams he is home.
