Peanut Butter Cup Birthday
I do not own Teen Wolf in any way.
A/N-So this was meant to be a Clara/Isaac fic, but I started writing it and it turned into a Paige/Isaac fic.
This morning, Paige woke up bright and early and skipped down the spiral staircase. "Good morning, brother dearest!" she sung.
"Paige, it's too early for this", Derek groaned, "I haven't even had my coffee yet".
"Guess what today is?!" she squealed.
"Tuesday", he said.
Paige frowned.
Peter walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning Uncle Peter!" she said.
"You're unusually happy today", he said.
"Today is a very special day", she said.
"And what would that be?" Peter asked.
Paige's heart broke.
Had they really forgotten about what today was?
"It's nothing", she said sadly. She grabbed her stuff and drove to school.
When she arrived at school, she bounced up to Scott and Stiles. "Good morning guys!" she said.
"Ugh. Too early", Scott moaned.
"What? Not get enough sleep last night?" she asked.
"He was with Allison", Stiles said.
"Ah. Well that explains everything", Paige said, "Anyway, guess what today is?"
"Uh…Tuesday", Stiles said.
Paige sighed.
"What? Is today not Tuesday?" he asked.
"It is, but…never mind", she said. She went through the rest of the day ignoring everyone, because it seemed no one had remembered.
Not even her own brother and uncle had remembered.
When it came time for lunch, Paige decided to eat by herself outside. She didn't feel like facing her friends and having to pretend like everything was right. She picked at her food as she tried not to cry.
"What are you doing out here all by yourself?" Isaac asked. He sat down next to her.
"No one remembered. Not even Derek", she said.
Isaac took out a King size Reese's peanut butter cup and stuck a candle in it. He lit it and handed it to Paige.
She sniffled and then laughed.
"Happy birthday", he said, "It's not a cake or anything".
"It's perfect", she said, "Thank you Isaac".
"Why didn't you tell us?" Scott asked, walking up with all her friends.
"It's not that big of a deal. It's not like we really celebrate birthday's anyway", she sad.
"Turning 16 is something to celebrate Paige!" Stiles said.
"We're really sorry we forgot", Allison said.
"It's fine, you guys. Really", Paige said.
"Nonsense. We're taking you out tonight", Allison said.
"You really don't have to", Paige insisted.
"Come on. It'll be fun", Stiles said, "We'll all go out to eat and then we'll go back to your place and watch a movie".
"That sounds like it could be fun", Paige said.
"That's the spirit!" Stiles said.
That night, they all went out for pizza and then went back to the apartment.
"What do you want to watch?" Scott asked, "Birthday girl gets to choose!"
"Birthday girl?" Peter asked entering the room, "Paige…"
"Just forget it", she said.
"Fine. Then I guess you don't want your present", Peter said.
"Present?" she asked.
Peter chuckled and handed her a box.
She opened it and found a charm bracelet.
"Oh it's beautiful!" she said.
"Trying to outdo me?" Isaac asked.
Derek walked up and hugged Paige. "I don't have anything for you, but happy birthday", he said.
"You've already given me everything Derek", she told him.
As they all settled in to watch the movie, Paige turned to Isaac and said, "Do you have any more peanut butter cups?"
Isaac just laughed and kissed her.
