The following morning Stiles quietly got out of bed careful not to wake Malia up. As he crept down the stairs he could smell the coffee his dad always makes before going to work. He saw Scott, Kira, and Lydia all still asleep on the couch and decided that he'd surprise them with breakfast. He went to the pantry and got out pancake mix and then got eggs and bacon out of the refrigerator. As he turned on the burners on the stove he carefully and quietly removed the griddle to make the pancakes. He read the instructions and started to stir the pancake mix as the eggs and bacon started to cook. By the time that he had finished with the pancakes the aroma in the house seemed to welcome everybody. He got out plates, cups, silverware, milk and juice and began to set the table. The making of the breakfast was time consuming but it would be worth it because his friends would enjoy it. As he finished setting the table, Scott began to stir on the couch.

"Hey man, what time is it?" Scott asked quietly so as to not wake up either Kira or Lydia.

"It's like 7:30 dude, go back to bed. I'll wake you when I'm finished." Stiles said not wanting Scott to see what he had planned.

"Alright dude, whatever you say." Scott mumbled as he fell back asleep.

Stiles made quick work of finishing up breakfast and prepared a tray with eggs, bacon, pancakes with syrup, and orange juice to take up to the sleeping Malia. When he reached his room he saw that she was still asleep; she looked so cute when she was sleeping. He cautiously set the tray on her lap and gently woke her up.

"Wakey wakey eggs and bakey" He said as he kindly shook her leg. Malia began to wake up and after she rubbed her eyes she was surprised to see a full course breakfast sitting in her lap. What made it even better was that Stiles was there to wake her up.

"You made me breakfast?" Malia asked as she repositioned the tray to sit up.

"Yeah, it's no big deal. I woke up early and thought you'd might enjoy it." Stiles said completely trying to undermine his act of kindness.

"Thank you, it looks delicious." Malia said smiling at Stiles. She then kissed his cheek which made him blush a little bit. They were both adjusting to being in a relationship with one another.

"Well," Stiles said enthusiastically, "Are you going to eat it or what?"

"Well duh." Malia said digging into her food.

"Hey, I'll be right back. I'm going to go check on the others and see if they're up." Stiles said moving off of his bed. He went downstairs and saw an empty couch only to find that his friends were all eating at the table. They were completely oblivious to his presence until he walked into the kitchen.

"Stiles, did you make these?" Asked Lydia; who looked like she was very much enjoying her breakfast.

"Yeah, you were all asleep and I thought it'd be nice to wake up to." Stiles said shrugging his shoulders.

"It's delicious." Kira said in between bites. Scott was taking a drink of orange juice before he talked to his friend.

"So this is why you wanted me to stay asleep this morning isn't it?" He asked with a grin on his face.

"You know me, can't let you in on my plan until I'm ready." Stiles said matching his friends grin.

"Where is Malia?" Asked Lydia suddenly looking around for the missing person.

"Oh, she's upstairs eating." Stiles said somewhat red in his face.

"What?" They all asked in unison.

"Yeah, when we went to the kitchen last night we just started talking and…" his voice trailed off as Malia came downstairs to put her dishes away.

"Hey." She said to Stiles before kissing him and setting her dishes down. "We're a couple now." Malia said as if her friends couldn't tell after what she just did.

"So what made you guys decide to date?" Scott asked his friends. Everyone was thinking the same question with Lydia just dumbfounded.

"We started to get to talk in Eichen House. Now that I don't have a crazy fox spirit in me I don't have to worry about hurting anyone." Stiles explained. He left the big part of Eichen House out of the conversation because he didn't want them to know.

"Well congrats guys!" Scott said in a cheery voice. He was happy for Stiles and Malia, they deserved to have someone they care about. The friends made small talk as they finished their breakfast and around 11:30 Scott, Kira, and Lydia said their goodbyes and went home. Malia didn't want to leave just yet and Stiles didn't want her to leave. They laid down on his couch and turned on the T.V. and just watched whatever was on. Malia was laying with her head on Stiles' chest and he was playing with her hair and holding her hand.

"You want to know something?" Malia said turning to look at Stiles. "Being with you makes being human worth it."

Stiles was at a loss for words. He knew how badly Malia had wanted to return to the woods that she lived in and how she longed to feel the wind as she ran on all fours.

"Seriously? I mean that much to you?" Stiles asked her sincerely.

"Now that I think about it, yes you do." Malia said smiling at him. Stiles and Malia kept watching T.V. for about two more hours and her dad called her phone. They parted at the door each wanting to stay with the other much longer. They kissed goodbye and Malia got in her dads car and went home. Stiles was standing in the doorway waving goodbye to her. When she was out of view he went inside and laid down in his bed. His sheets stilled smelled like her and he noticed her jacket sitting on his chair at his desk. He didn't even realize that she had left it here. On the jacket was a piece of paper that said 'Now I have an excuse to come over here later tonight.' –XOXO Malia. Stiles grinned knowing that they were going to be together again soon.
