Reasons to Ship StAlia –
They had a connection from the minute they meet (Despite being a coyote), Stiles figured out why she kept returning to the crash-site.
Stiles fought to protect her, not only from her own father but his father as well.
Malia was able to pull Stiles from a sleeping state whilst the Nogitsune tried to take over.
They sought comfort in one another in Echien house, whilst they were trying to face their demons.
Malia trusted him, (First kiss/ First time?) Despite the fact that she is normally driven by her animalistic survival instincts.
Malia seeks comfort from Stiles, She repeatedly goes to his house at night because she is uncomfortable at her own house.
Stiles told Lydia he would never abandon his jeep (yet he tried to chase after Malia when she fled into the desert after the Jaguars).
Stiles and Malia share a similar learning and thought process (Green= what I know/Solved, Yellow= I'm working on it/ to be determined and Red = I have no clue/Unsolved).
Stiles protects Malia (explains and reminds the pack that she's still learning about her humanity).
She would NEVER leave without him.
He would NEVER leave her (despite potential danger, stiles refused to leave her when the restraints broke).
The way he looks at her.
The way she looks at him.
Stiles knows how she thinks (the shared guilt over past actions).
Stiles trusts that she wouldn't/ couldn't hurt him (removed the remaining restraints).
Stiles is Malia's ANCHOR (he is what keeps her connected to her humanity).
Malia lets herself be vulnerable around him (when she's sick, She cries when he has to leave)
Stiles knew that Malia would pull away from the pack if she knew Peter was her father.
Stiles sees the good in Malia always, (peter being her father does not mean she's evil/bad).
Stiles can't sleep without Malia there anymore.
