Can't Take My Eyes off You
Chapter One
A wide grin spreads across Lydia's face. She squeals and claps her hands before she and Malia launch themselves at Kira and wrap her in a tight hug, essentially trapping her between them.
"Congratulations!" Malia exclaims, squeezing Kira tight around the waist. Lydia sees the kitsune wince and catches her eye. They share a smile and hug each other just a little tighter.
Lydia shifts until her lips are next to Kira's ear. "I'm happy for you guys," she whispers softly, just loud enough for her to hear.
The three women pull apart and Malia immediately launches herself at Scott, wrapping him in a suffocating but loving hug, and essentially ending whatever conversation he was having with Stiles, Liam, Mason, Isaac, and Derek. Kira takes Lydia's hand and pulls her toward the other end of the living room of the small apartment she shared with Scott until they're sitting on the sofa.
"Will you be my maid of honor?" Kira asks. "You're my best friend in the entire world, Lydia, and it would mean so much to me."
Tears well in her eyes and she wills them not to fall. She had always imagined someone else to ask her that question. "Only if you tell me how Scott proposed," Lydia bargains with a bright smile, dragging the back of her underneath her eye to wipe away the few tears that had fallen. "Don't leave anything out – I want all the details."
Kira blushes pink and squirms under her green gaze. "Um, well, he didn't technically propose," she starts.
Lydia frowns in confusion and raises a single perfectly arched brow at her friend. "Explain."
"Scott just sort of blurted it out while we were out at dinner last week," Kira tells her and Lydia can actually see the heart eyes as she watches her look at Scott. "One minute we were talking about what we should get everyone for Christmas and the next he's blurting out 'Marry me'. I literally just stared at him in shock and then he's pulling out the most beautiful ring I've ever seen, saying that he wasn't going to propose until New Year's and that it had just slipped out. Then he says that I don't have to give him an answer yet, but I say yes and he kept talking until he realized what I'd said." Kira pauses and smiles prettily at Lydia like the love-struck fool that she is. "It was awkward but perfect for us."
"Perfect," she agrees with a grin, remembering the stories from high school about their first kiss and the first time he had told her he loved her. "And it's about damn time he proposed. He made me and Stiles go ring shopping with him last spring."
A coy look suddenly forms on her friend's face. "Speaking of Stiles," she says. "I saw that you guys came together. Anything I should know…?"
Lydia rolls her eyes, lips twitching to fight a smile, and follows Kira's gaze. Stiles was standing beside Scott, one arm slung around their alpha's shoulders, a wide grin that lit up his whiskey eyes spread across his face. "Definitely not. There was a string of break-ins around my apartment building and he showed up on my doorstep with a bag full of clothes and that stupid bat of his. He's basically been living at my apartment for the past two weeks and we thought it was stupid to drive separately when we were both going to the same place." Stiles catches her watching him and shoots her a questioning look that she answers with a shake of her head and a small smile to reassure him. He studies her a beat longer before grinning and focusing back on whatever Liam is saying. Lydia turns back to Kira only to find her slightly scrutinizing her with a small smile. "What?" she asks.
"You like him," she says, watching her.
"I don't," she denies with a shake of her head. But why do I feel like I just lied?
Kira reaches over and squeezes her hand. "I think you always have, Lydia," she whispers softly before rising and pulling Lydia up with her. "Come on, I need help getting dinner on the table. I've got a pack of literal wolves and a coyote to feed."
