Characters: Stiles, Derek, Scott, Isaac, Lydia, Erica
Genre: Fluff
Notes: the fantastic justnerdzombie prompted me: "So, Stiles gets a kind of minor injury, like a broken arm or something, and he has to go to the hospital for like two hours, but it was caused by the pack in some way. like, they were training and they got too rough with him or something. Then fluff. like, movie night or cuddle puddle or pack meeting and its fluffly."
It's all okay in the end
They're playing, of all things, tag when it happens, because apparently, they're all a bunch of six year olds. They're playing and it's fine and it's fun but then Erica tackles Stiles to the ground (even though tackling is illegal, after the fiasco that was the last time they played) and there's an overly loud crunch and then he screams. Then she screams and scrambles to her feet. She has a wide-eyed, spooked look on her face and she asks him, "Are you okay?"
He shakes his head, no, then sits up slowly. He moves his left shoulder a little and grimaces.
That's when the others stop and notice.
"What happened?" Scott asks, sounding just a little nervous.
Stiles raises his good hand to his left shoulder and blinks slowly. "I think my shoulder's dislocated." He says it in a stunned, quiet sort of way, like it hasn't really quite hit him yet.
Scott walks toward him first and helps him up to his feet. He's giving Stiles this appraising sort of look and before he can say anything, Stiles says, 'No, Scott. Don't even think about it."
"What?" Scott says, eyes wide in obviously faked shock, like he wasn't just thinking of trying to pop Stiles' shoulder back into place by himself.
"I'm not an animal, you're taking me to the hospital," says Stiles firmly.
"Fine," Scott says. He doesn't argue, he just walks Stiles to the front of the house where his car is.
Scott (and Isaac) take Stiles to the hospital to get his arm fixed and spend almost the entire drive bickering about whether or not either of them could really do it themselves. Isaac thinks he could do it better, he's been working with Doctor Deaton a lot more than Scott has recently, but Scott thinks he could do it better because he's been working there a lot longer. Stiles reminds them four separate times that no, they're going to the hospital and he's getting this fixed right. He's not going to be a guinea pig for them, or at least not any more than he already is, anyway.
Erica, unfortunately, is left at the house with Derek and Lydia. She's expecting Derek to start yelling at her (and silently blaming himself for letting Stiles play with them at all, like he really has any control over what Stiles does) but instead, it's Lydia that starts in on her as soon as Scott, Isaac and Stiles are gone.
Lydia starts going on about how she and Stiles are human and while they shouldn't be treated as fragile or breakable, they shouldn't be treated the same as a werewolf for the obvious reasons such as when they break something it doesn't heal right away. About five minutes into this topic, Erica starts to wonder if they're both going to yell at her or if Derek is just letting Lydia handle this because Lydia is actually much better at this end of things than he is. Derek is good for threats, for fixing things, but no one beats Lydia at guilt. To get Lydia to stop, Erica apologizes, then promises to apologize to Stiles when he gets back. Lydia just barely accepts this and stops with her attack. Erica is sure she'll be hearing about all this again, probably more than once, but she considers it a win that Lydia has stopped, at least for now.
Scott and Isaac bring home a drug-hazy but patched up Stiles a few hours later and after Lydia scolds Stiles for playing tag with a bunch of werewolves and Derek looks him over, making sure he's okay, everything is good again.
They do what they usually do and order some pizzas and some chinese food to top it off and put on a movie.
They end the night all piled up together on the couch with Stiles telling them about the way the special effects were created for the low-budget monster movie they're watching. Nobody really listens, but they all pretend like they do, because they figure they should be nice to him since he's injured and also because they know if they don't he'll just complain about how they're not listening and he's injured. And his being injured means they should listen.
So, really, it's all okay in the end.
