"Do the kids know that it's a trap?" Malia asked when Stiles explained the plan and her boyfriend shrugged.

"I don't know."

"What do you think?" she pressed and he thought for a couple of seconds.

"It's the mighty Alpha Scott, so I'm pretty sure they know." he answered truly believing it and she nodded.

"It's good they know, you gotta be honest with your children."

At that, Stiles rolled his eyes.

"Not the parenting thing again." He almost begged and Malia chuckled.

"You do know that it won't never, ever get old, right?" she teased even more, but he had no space to even begin to get mad at her, because she slid closer to him on the jeep seat and laid her head on his shoulder, all cuddles and he relaxed.

"Are you going to be fine without me tonight?" Stiles asked, lacing his fingers with hers.

"I don't know, are you gonna be fine without me tonight?" she retorted and he smiled.

"I've this theory that Theo will try to kiss my ass for as long as he can take before he breaks. And he won't break tonight, it's too soon."

Malia nodded with her head still on his shoulder.

"Just… howl if you need anything, okay?" she said and Stiles frowned.

"You mean 'call'?" he asked and she sat straight, looked at him with serious eyes.

"Calling takes too long. Howling is quicker."

They were silent for a few, just looking at each other, him waiting for her to say that she was kidding and slowly realizing she wasn't.

"Mal, I can't how."

She didn't seem the least bit shaken with his words. Instead, she just said

"You will figure it out."

And it was kind of settled.
