Stiles kept thinking about all that he'd been through the last few weeks and he immediately began to get nauseous. After the Nogitsune had done all of those terrible things in his body the complete and utter fatigue that followed the events finally caught up with him. There was one thing however that the Nogitsune had done for Stiles that was good. He met Malia in Eichen House. They shared a special bond that night in the basement of the mental house and now that they could live their somewhat normal lives the bond they had only grew stronger. Despite having stabbed Scott and take the strife from him or ordering the death of Allison, he felt somewhat safe knowing that he had met the real Malia. He slumped down on his bed and began to fade away into the ever longing sleep that awaited him. All of the sudden there was a knock on the door and it suddenly opened. Scott stood there with a pizza and some soda resting a movie on top of the pizza box.

"Dude, you didn't forget about movie night did you?" Scott asked setting the pizza down on Stiles' nightstand.

"No I didn't, how could I forget. Who all said they can make it?" Stiles asked suddenly regaining some energy to fight the drowsiness he had just a moment ago.

"So far we have Kira, Lydia, and Malia. Derek said it sounded stupid so he's a no show." Scott said urging his buddy to get off of the bed.

'Malia' Stiles thought in his head, 'At least we have a chance to hang out in a non-awkward environment' Scott now with the help of Stiles carried the pizza and soda down to Stiles' living room. Scott had brought The Blind Side which had to be one of their favorite movies. Five minutes later they doorbell rang and Stiles went to go answer it. When he opened the door he was greeted by Lydia who insisted on being the first one on the couch who was followed by Kira and Malia who were carrying to big bags of popcorn.

"Hey guys, come on in. Need help with the popcorn guys?" Asked Stiles stepping out of the way so they could get in.

"I think we've got it but thanks Stiles." Said Kira setting the popcorn next to the pizza and soda. Malia was quiet due to the awkward tension between her and Stiles. They hadn't really talked about what happened at Eichen House and that was preventing any real progress they tried to make. Scott popped in The Blind Side and sat down next to Kira and Lydia who were on the couch. Stiles took the floor at the end of the couch and Malia was left standing. Scott realizing this offered Malia his spot on the couch.

"Thanks for the offer Scott but its fine, I'll sit on the floor with Stiles." Said Malia sitting next to Stiles. The movie started and Stiles went to turn off the lights and grab a couple of blankets. His dad had a late shift and he had been ok with people staying the night if people wanted to. Upon his return he saw that Malia was sitting in an uncomfortable manner with her back pressed awkwardly against the leg of a coffee table.

"Hey Malia, want me to grab you a pillow? That looks kind of uncomfortable." Stiles asked getting up just in case.

"I can go grab it, thanks though. I needed a drink anyway. Can you show me where the cups are?" She said getting up from her spot.

"Yeah sure, follow me." Stiles said leading her to the kitchen. He showed her where the cups were and suddenly he just had to talk to her.

"Malia, can we talk for a minute?" Stiles asked as Malia filled the cup with water. He didn't want to have a distant relationship with her just because they didn't deal with the problem.

"Yeah sure Stiles, you want to talk in here or out in the living room?" Malia asked setting her glass down.

"It's about what happened at Eichen House. I just feel this awkwardness between us because of what we did and I don't want it to affect us." Stiles said looking at her. She began dance around the subject because she was just as nervous about it as he was.

"It just happened Stiles, that's all. We both needed it so we did it." Malia said trying to end the subject there but he didn't buy it.

"If that's all that happened, why can't we act normal around each other? I don't feel like it was a mistake but I don't want to feel this way anymore." Stiles said leaning against the counter next to the stove.

"I didn't think it was a mistake either Stiles, I just don't know what to do now. You're sweet but I didn't know if you wanted a relationship. I didn't want to be the kind of girl that hangs on to any little thing she's given." Malia said staring at Stiles to see his reaction. Stiles had no idea that she would even think about being in a relationship with him. After all that the Nogistune had done to blacken his spirit Malia didn't even think about it.

"I didn't think that you…" Stiles began to say but was interrupted by Malia kissing him. She had closed the distance rather quickly but that didn't stop the passion behind the kiss. Stiles wrapped his arms around her as she wrapped hers around his neck. As they broke the kiss Malia was smiling from ear to ear as was Stiles. There was a silence as the two were embracing each other which allowed them both to think about what just happened.

"I didn't think that you were even remotely interested in me." Stiles said still pushed up against the countertop.

"I didn't think that you like me like that either." Malia said still smiling, "But for what it's worth I didn't think that that was a mistake either."

The two entered the living room just as the movie was halfway done and looked at their friends. Lydia was passed out next to Scott who was barely awake. Kira had also fallen asleep and used Scott's shoulder as a pillow. Scott saw them come in and was about to get up but Stiles cut him off.

"My dad said its fine if you all sleep over here, it would just be smarter if you didn't wake them up Scott."

Scott looked at his friend and knew something was up, "You sure man? I don't want to be a problem."

Stiles chuckled and disregarded his friend, "Dude don't sweat it, besides the Thanksgiving meal scene is coming up. Might as well enjoy the rest of the movie." With that said he sat down in his original spot but was joined by Malia who was right by his side. She grabbed his hand and laid her head down on his shoulder. She slowly fell asleep on him and by the end of the movie he was the only one awake. He slowly laid her down and put her head on the ground as he turned off the TV and put a blanket over the people on the couch. He then proceeded to pick up Malia and take her upstairs to his room. As he got up there he set her on his bed and put a blanket over her as well. He began to quietly walk away but realized she still had his arm.

"Will you lay down with me? I feel safer with you next to me." Malia said her eyes closed but not asleep anymore.

"Are you sure?" asked Stiles, "I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I can take the floor it's totally fine with me."

"No Stiles, please just until I fall asleep?" Malia pleaded.

"Ok if you really want me too." Said Stiles as he crawled up next to her. She scooted over some more to give him room and she turned around to face him.

"I'm really glad that we talked about what happened at Eichen House." Malia said looking at him.

"Me too, I feel a lot better now that the tension is removed." Stiles agreed.

"I want to ask you Stiles, do you have a girlfriend?" Malia asked in a serious but caring way.

"No I don't, why?" Stiles asked suddenly more awake then when he had been just a second ago.

"I just got to thinking, we both care for each other and you make me feel safe. Being with you makes staying human bearable. I just was wondering…" she started. She was then interrupted by the same passionate kiss she had given Stiles in the kitchen.

"Yes, I would Malia Tate." Stiles said as he broke the kiss. As the night progressed, they talked and talked about what they liked and didn't, what was on their bucket lists, who their celebrity crush was and when they were finally tired they fell asleep wrapped up together as one. Malia had her back to Stiles and he had his arms wrapped around her. Stiles' mind was piecing together what had just happened; the girl he liked likes him back, they kissed twice, and they were now a couple. As he finally fell asleep he felt comfort in the warmth that Malia had brought him as she felt comforted by him. He had never slept that well for as long as he could remember.
