Chapter 1 : The First Try
Stiles had never understood the pull a certain strawberry blonde had on him. He hadn't had a conversation per se with Lydia Martin but he was already spell bound by her. Right from the way she always came to the class proper and prim to how she would act with manners even at this age made everyone notice her. But for Stiles it was far more of than that drew him to her. He loved how she always had an answer for everything the teacher asked; the way her eyes twinkled with excitement whenever she solved a difficult subtraction and how she always carried a book too big for her. He also liked how she would scrunch her nose when she was confused and the way she rolled her eyes when someone acted stupidly. Right then, he was watching Lydia solve a complex math problem from a fifth grade book in her hand on the ground near the see-saws when she thought no one was watching her. He couldn't understand even the first step and believe him when he says he is not that bad in mathematics. As she completed solving it, a self-satisfied smile crept upon her face which made her even more beautiful.
At that moment, Stiles thought he could never meet such a perfect girl anywhere. He was so in love with her. Or that was what he thought. He was amazed by her every day and she had never failed to surprise him. So what do boys do when they love a girl? Yes, they marry her. Dad had explained about it one time over dinner that that was how he married his mother. He was so lucky to have found her so early in his life unlike others who had to wait their whole lives. He was going to propose to her, right there right now. Yes that was what he was going to do. He stepped forward just as his best friend Scott came running yelling, "Stiles, you really have to see this. You know how far I could throw the ring ball. More than that Jackson. Stiles come on listen to me" he whined. Stiles huffed at his friend and retorted, "Scott, I have to do something important". "What is so important than this?" asked Scott a little offended. But as Stiles turned to see Lydia, he was met with empty see-saws and all traces of the insane maths solution erased.
He trudged into his home dejectedly and Claudia sensed something was wrong almost instantly. But she waited for him to open up and when she realized that that was not going to happen, she prodded him by asking, "So Stiles, are you going to Scott's place tonight or is he coming over for the video games?" "Don't talk about him, mom. He ruined everything today" answered his dejected son. "Oh come on, sweetie. I am sure Scott wouldn't have done anything like that" consoled Claudia rubbing soothing circles on the little boy's back. "Well, he spoiled the moment I was about to propose to Lydia. I mean who wanted to know how far he could throw those balls anyway" complained Stiles. "What? Honey, do you even know what proposal means?" asked Claudia gently. "Of course I know. It is asking the girl you love to marry you" answered little Stiles triumphantly. "Ok and you say you love this girl?" emphasized Claudia. Stiles narrowed his eyes as he knew this tone very well. It is what his mother used when she didn't believe what he said.
"Yes. Why mom? Don't you believe me?" questioned an enraged Stiles. "Oh honey, of course I believe you. So you really like this Lydia?" asked Claudia finding this amusing. "Yes mom. She is so pretty and brilliant. She solves so many difficult problems and always raises her hand when a question is asked. I want to marry her" declared Stiles confidently. Claudia chuckled at how adoringly he spoke about the girl and how he had a scary conviction in his voice. "Sweetheart, listen. I am not saying you shouldn't marry her. But maybe this is not the right time. You guys have so much to do and who knows she may amaze you even more in the coming years. But when the timing is right and I assure you will know when it is perfect, you should not propose lightly. You should take her to the most beautiful place on earth and make her feel like she is the luckiest girl on earth. It must be the perfect moment for her as all the girls imagine about this all their lives" smiled Claudia weaving her fingers through her son's hair affectionately.
"Oh! But what if she says no?" asked Stiles with fear in his voice. It was so simple when he thought about it in the playground. But right now after hearing his mother's speech he wasn't sure if he would be able to pull off such a thing. "Oh honey! No one can say no to you. After all aren't you my sweet little boy? I have faith in you" assured Claudia. At that moment Mr. Stilinski walked into the room depositing his keys. He began searching for food as he was pretty exhausted with the raid that night. "So what are you guys talking about? Did I miss anything important?" stealing French fries from Stiles' plate. Claudia just smirked and replied, "Oh nothing. Stiles just wanted to propose to the girl he loved today" Mr. Stilinski chocked on his fries as he spluttered looking between his son who was grinning widely to his wife who tried miserably to hold back her laughter.
