Beneath The Waves Chapter 29

Stiles watched as their car turned out of their driveway and disappeared down the road heading off to town.

Leaning up against the railing of their deck, he brought his mug of coffee to his lips and sipped it gingerly.

He knew that Kish needed to spend some quality girl time with Gelsey and made no objections when she told him their plans.

But as he eyed the long dirt road that led out of their property, he couldn't help but feel a little bit lonely.

This was the first time since Kish had arrived that they'd be apart for the whole day and now that they were gone, he had no clue what to do with himself.

He had forgotten what life was like before Kish came and rescued him.

The only thing he remembered was the loneliness that right now seemed to be closing in on him making him choke on the air around him as it became harder for him to breathe.

Placing his mug down onto the railing he sunk down onto one of the lounge chairs and brought his knees up to his chest like he did when he used to have panic attacks.

He held his breath for a few moments and waited for his throat to open again signaling that the panic attack had run its course.

"Fuck…"

He breathed out as struggled to fill his lungs with much needed air.

He hadn't had a panic attack since he left Beacon Hills and it scared him that they could start again.

Just as he was about to get up and find something productive to do, he heard his phone go off in the kitchen making him jump to his feet and grab his coffee mug as he raced to the kitchen only to slip and fall in a tangle of limbs on the tile floor.

His phone had stopped ringing and he groaned as he attempted to pull himself up to a standing position once more.

When he was finally back on his feet, he grabbed his phone and unlocked it noticing that there was a text message from Kish making his heart leap out of his chest.

His smile faltered when he read the text and quickly typed out a response and pressed send.

Kish: Hey babe are you okay?

I felt really weird a moment ago and Gelsey made me pull over because it was like I was having a panic attack.

I'm really worried. Please text me back ASAP.

Stiles: Yeah…I'm okay now.

I did have a small panic attack when you left.

I guess I'm just not used to be being alone anymore.

Stiles was startled when she responded almost instantaneously.

Her concern for him made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

But he was definitely not wanting her to come home when she clearly needed time to be with their best friend.

He chewed on the inside of his cheek while he thought of a good response that wouldn't make her worry anymore.

Kish: Omg! Babe are you okay?

I can turn around and come home if you want.

Girl time can wait if you need me.

Honestly to tell you the truth I'm kind of feeling the same way.

Ever since I met you and we mated, I've just really been used to being around you and only you.

Now that Gelsey is here, it's kind of a weird dynamic.

I don't know how long Gelsey is staying for but I'm kind of thinking she's gonna be here for a while….

We'll just have to get used to the three of us spending time together I guess.

Stiles: I completely get where you're coming from.

It is kinda weird to have a third person in the house with us but I think it's going to be okay.

And I promise I'm fine now.

It was just a minor one.

Nothing I haven't dealt with before.

I keep forgetting that anything that happens to me will affect you too now.

I'm really sorry for worrying you.

Go have a fun time with Gelly.

You both need to get out of the house for a bit.

I'm going to go feed Dyani and the others and maybe go for a swim.

I love ya. I'll see ya soon.

Kish: You really think everything will be okay?

Stiles: Yes Really.

Kish: Really really?

Stiles: Yes Really really.

Now go have fun.

You're interrupting my moment of motivation to go do my farmer duties.

Kish: *rolls eyes* Alright alright, I'm gone.

See ya later tonight babe.

I love you too. Xoxoxoxo

Stiles smirked at her playfulness as waved a hand down his body making clothes instantly appear.

Today he had decided on a grey t shirt that said "I don't work out. I level up" that had a pixel sword on it and a pair of khaki cargo shorts with a pair of grey chuck taylor's.

He waved his hand around his head making his hair magically tame before slipping his phone into one of the pockets in his shorts as he meandered out the door and off to stables.

Today was going to be a good day with or without Kish by his side.

He smirked to himself as he officially decided that this was his Man time day.

As different thoughts swirled around in his mind about what he could do today by himself, he concluded that maybe having some time to himself wouldn't be as bad as he thought.

When he reached the stables that sat on the higher end of the fields he turned and let his gaze wander over the entirety of his property.

As the sun shone brightly down on him and the tall grass in the pastures swayed in the gentle sea breeze, he knew that this was exactly where he was meant to be.
