So sorry for taking so long! College is a bitch when it comes to keeping updates and deadlines if they are not class related. This update is mostly fluff and still sticks to the season 4 storyline, I presume that will be changing subtly in the next few chapters with a clear break by no later than chapter 20. Thanks for the reviews and this chapter's song is "Favorite Fix" by; Artist vs. Poet

Chapter 14: "Favorite Fix"

"You know that in the end,

(you're my favorite)

I'll relapse again.

(you're my favorite)

I'm down to my own tricks,

You're my favorite fix. (fix, fix, fix, fix...)

I come to grips that I have fallen in so deep.

There's no resisting to what pulls me out of reach.

I am a victim, a product of an addiction.

Locked in this system and there's no escape."

"Alright Al," Isaac panted as he fell sideways onto her bed beside her as she breathed heavily coming down from her high. "I said a preview not three rounds before bed." She grinned at him between breaths and rolled onto her side so that she was facing him and struck a seductive pose that was ruined by a yawn. "Like you didn't enjoy every second of it." Allison's yawn made him laugh as he reached forwards with a grin and pulled him flush against her for a quick kiss before rolling onto his back and yawning himself. "I loved it, Allison, I love every moment with you but I need sleep, you do too. Like a full hibernation length sort of sleep." She laughed at him as his eyes closed and she reached off the low bed to grab his discarded shirt and boxers which she proceeded to throw the latter of the two at him before pulling on his shirt and curling up beside him. Upon pulling on the shorts, he rolled over and wrapped one arm around her while the other pulled the covers over them and they both sighed in relief as they relaxed into the pillows and their eyes closed in relief. "I love you, Isaac." Allison whispered and Isaac grinned into her hair and kissed the top of her head. "I love you too Al."

The two were exhausted and slept the whole day away, it may only have been the second day back to school after the winter break but neither was upset about missing it. Not that they would have been functional in such a sleep deprived state to begin with in all honesty. Allison awoke to the smell of pizza and rolled over to find an empty cold mattress where her boyfriend had been lying when they'd fallen asleep. Isaac never left when she was still asleep; it was one of the things that she had most enjoyed about their sleepovers. Waking up to an empty bed was a Scott thing, warm muscled arms, a steady heartbeat, and a constant breath of warm air tickling the back of her neck was an Isaac thing. "Isaac?" She called the fear seeping into her voice as she leapt out of bed Chinese ring dagger in hand and his oversized shirt flowing around her like a mid-thigh length dress. "Isaac!" Her voice echoed off the walls as she yelled his name again but she ceased to focus on that when she heard footsteps pounding down the hall. Tiptoeing gently to stand just inside the doorway, the huntress stood prepared for anything. As the shadow of the intruder appeared right in front of her, the huang dashed out and tackled the figure to the ground earning a groan as all the air left his lungs and he became winded. "Allison?" He wheezed out and she leapt off his chest immediately with apologies tumbling past her lips.

Isaac chuckled lightly in between breaths as he sat up with a goofy grin at his girlfriend and added, "It's alright, just startled me." As soon as it was clear that he was alright, she smacked his shoulder roughly earning an exclamation of pain from the teen wolf. "Where were you?" She drew out every word and that made him gulp. Even though he knew that she was only annoyed with him out of the fear of waking up alone, Isaac still didn't want to push her to the point of anger and fight with her again; their first fight had been ugly enough for him thank you very much. "I was starving so I ordered us pizza, I was just about to wake you and offer you some. You looked so peaceful sleeping though; I didn't want to wake you." At a rumble of her stomach and the sight of Isaac's goofy grin at the noise, Allison rolled her eyes and helped him to his feet before nodding. "That's acceptable then. What kind did you get anyways?" The wolf grinned at that and started back to the kitchen calling back. "Hawaiian, it's your favorite right?"

Hawaiian pizza had been her guilty pleasure since she was a kid, it was such a weird flavor that she never told anyone about it and always insisted that pepperoni was her favorite. The fact that Isaac had remembered that from their first pizza study night made all her anger dissipate fully and she grinned as she nodded furiously and pulled him down the hall and into the kitchen as she practically dove for the pizza box and snatched a piece out. "Somebody's hungry!" Isaac teased as he reached over her with his long arms and stole a piece himself with a smirk. She grinned up at him and bit into her pizza happily. "Do you want to sit down and finish that or are standing meals in now?" Sticking her tongue out at him, she jumped up onto the counter and patted the spot beside her. Rolling his eyes and groaning dramatically, the boy leapt up beside her and draped an arm across her shoulders as she leaned into him with a smile. "Thank you." Allison announced mouth full and speech jumbled from the pizza she was still chewing on. It was so childish that Isaac couldn't help but chuckle as he kissed the side of her head softly before replying, "You're welcome."

Leaning her head on his shoulder as the two steadily finished the rest of the medium pizza and Allison started to nod off. "We have to go to school tomorrow." He prodded and she groaned at the mere idea of school after everything else. "Why?" She moaned as if it was physically painful which made him chuckle as she sat up and made eye contact with his big blue-gray orbs. "Because we've missed two days already, plus your father comes home around noon tomorrow and Chris likes me better when he doesn't find me half naked holding you in bed." Allison knew that he was right about that. Her father liked Isaac far more than he had liked Scott but he was still her father and naked boys in her bed really turned on his overprotective side. "Alright, we just got over a severe case of the flu." She began and Isaac grinned before frowning slightly and pointing out the obvious, "Won't it be weird that we both have the flu?" The huntress shrugged at that as she smirked mischievously at his comment. "We're a couple; you caught it from me when you were taking care of me." Isaac snorted at that idea, being sick was something so foreign to him now that he rarely if ever even considered it as an excuse. "If I could get sick it wouldn't be from taking care of you." He began before pecking her lips chastely, "It would be from this, and I can't get enough of it. You're like my personal drug." Allison laughed at that, a bright peal of noise that sounded far too pure and innocent for the girl who had been through so much and felt so much pain.

Hopping off the counter and landing on his bare feet, Isaac turned around and picked her up earning a squeak of surprise, another noise not heard often from the huang, as he held her bridal style. "It's your addictive scent, it's the forest, and lavender, and wood smoke all rolled into one. Your brown eyes that see all and take everything in. They've always been able to see through me." Kissing her lips lightly, he grinned as he whispered the last part, "Yet you loved me anyway. I think that's what most impresses me about you. No one else ever truly tried to fix me until you." Allison smiled at that and reached up a hand to rest it lightly on his cheek and he leaned into the touch. "You don't need to be fixed Isaac; you've made yourself a better person all on your own. You believed in me when no one truly did. You forgave me when I felt unforgivable. If I'm your drug, then you're mine and I don't want to ever quit you." Sitting up as far as she could given her position in his arms, she pressed her lips lightly to his in a slow lingering kiss. Pulling away with a smile, she wrapped her arms around his neck and ordered, "Now take me to bed good Sir Lahey." Rolling his eyes he followed her order with only a half sarcastic. "Yes my Lady Argent, your wish is my command." Her laughter echoed behind them as he walked upstairs chuckling at their childish and almost normal teenage antics. Normalcy was hard to come by when you were a werewolf dating a hunter's daughter who happened to be a huang who was being haunted by her were-something not-dead Aunt. Because it was so rare, these were the moments that Isaac and Allison cherished the most, the ones between the chaos when they could just be themselves.

Dreamless sleep was also something that was rare and two nights straight of it were almost as unusual as a blue moon given the excessive number of demons and skeletons in their joint closet. That was the case really, Isaac's claustrophobia and his father's abuse had become as much of Allison's problem as her Aunt and the fear of losing control had become his. It truly was a joint closet for them now because Deaton was right; they did have a connection that crossed all boundaries. The point was, at least one of their demons normally paid an unwelcome visit most nights and breaks like these were bliss. "Maybe I should spend the night more often." Isaac whispered seconds before her alarm went off waking them to the real world and Allison grinned back at him without opening her eyes. "Beats the midnight calls or waking up screaming." She whispered back and he grinned as the alarm went off interrupting their little moment and he groaned before rolling out of bed and turning it off with a sigh of relief. "You sure we have to go?" Allison moaned even as she rolled out of bed and landed on her feet with barely a thud. Chuckling as he nodded, Isaac headed towards his permanent drawer of clothes in her room while Allison staggered to her closet. "You're dad gets home, remember?" He added as he pulled out a clean white undershirt, a pair of his usual blue straight legged jeans, and a gray sweater. Turning around, he caught sight of Allison carrying out a thick dark purple flannel shirt and a pair of gray skinny jeans. Stepping into the bathroom to give her a little privacy, stripping when sleeping together was nothing but he liked to give her her privacy no matter how tempting it was to watch and just drink her body in like an ice cold beverage on a sweltering hot day. Besides, as tempting as she was, they certainly didn't have time for that this morning.

Changing quickly, Isaac grabbed their still packed bags and headed into the kitchen for a quick breakfast while Allison dashed into the bathroom to put on her makeup and fix her hair. Munching on a piece of toast coated in Nutella, Isaac was sitting propped up on the counter when Allison walked in and he whistled and she flipped him the bird without turning around. "Can't I appreciate my girlfriend's outfit?" He asked and she grinned sweetly at him while answering him with more sarcasm in her voice than usual, "Not when he makes me go to school and acts so immature." Hopping off the counter, he kissed her cheek before swinging his backpack over one shoulder and walking slowly towards the door, "Dually noted." He called back as he heard her snatch a protein bar and then run after him with her combat boots pounding the ground and her bag smacking her side. "After you my lady." Isaac announced as he opened the door with a huge cheesy grin and bowed low but not so low that he missed her sticking her tongue out at him before smacking his shoulder. "Come on Wolfboy." Wincing at the boy at the end and its connotation, Isaac shaped up quickly after that as he pulled the door closed behind him and walked into the elevator with a slight frown, "I think I preferred Wolfman actually." Her laughter made it worth it as the elevator doors closed and the two spent the rest of the trip to school in comfortable and relaxing silence.

"Are you ready for this?" Isaac asked as she pulled into her parking spot and looked over at the sound of his voice cutting through the silence sharper than any Chinese ring dagger ever could. Taking a deep breath, she thought about it. She'd been so busy ignoring all thought of it that she hadn't had time to even begin to consider if she was fine or not. It was such a loaded question too with Kate and Derek's kidnapping and her burning Isaac when losing control. "I have to be." The huang announced as she stepped out of the car with a sigh followed by a fake smile. "Promise me that if you need me, you won't hesitate to come get me no matter what." He told her with concern obvious in his voice as he too stepped out of the car and gave her a pointed look over the top of it. Before she could roll her eyes or wave him off, he added, "I'm serious Allison, for anything. You need me, I WILL be there." A warmth of relief spread from the top of her head to the tips of her toes at that as she nodded and grinned at him with a real smile that met her eyes, "I promise." Deciding that that was the best he was going to get, the lanky teen wolf grabbed out his backpack and closed his door with a light thud. "Into High School Hell we go!" He announced in as close to a singsong tone as he would ever get earning a giggle from Allison as he looped an arm around her waist and the two walked into the school together and relaxed as could be.

After about a week of this bliss, interrupted only by the occasional nightmare and intense training sessions with both Allison and Argent, Stiles pulled Isaac aside before their math class with Ms. Fleming. "Are you ready for lacrosse try outs?" Lacrosse had barely even crossed his mind in months, he had infinitely larger problems to deal with at the time and now wasn't any different. However, athletically, he was in the best shape of his life with hunting training coupled with the wolf abilities enhancing any activity he did to begin with. "Of course Stiles, why?" The human scratched the back of his neck with a grimace of a smile as he launched into an explanation of this new freshman guy who was really good and was playing around on the practice pitch this morning. "If he's good for the team, then he's fine by me." He pointed out and Stiles rolled his eyes at Isaac's blunt and straightforward automatic response. "It's not good Scarfy, there's just something about him. You'll see." Isaac hummed in response as he slipped into class and slid into his seat beside Allison and behind Scott. As per usual, he wasn't paying much attention and had already finished the math problem that Malia was currently struggling with allowing his mind to use the review as an excuse to wander to the memory of Argent's reaction to Kate's return.

The older hunter looked at his daughter and apprentice aghast; this had to be some kind of prank or a very, very sick joke on their part. "Come again?" Argent managed finally and Allison took a deep breath as she mentally prepared for the repetition of the news. "Kate isn't in that grave in the cemetery. Peter actually turned her by accident. She kidnapped Derek, de-aged him somehow and stole the Hale fortune. We don't know what kind of werewolf she is but she is certainly not in control." At the second time hearing it, Argent collapsed onto the sofa and ran a hand through his hair in shock. "Did you see her?" Isaac answered this time as he attempted to prevent Allison from having to voice the memory aloud and give it life again. "No, we had to take care of her Berserkers and missed her by seconds." At the name of the battle lusting supernatural creatures, Argent's head snapped up and he looked at Isaac in disbelief. "Berserkers?" He repeated and Isaac and Allison nodded as Argent shook his head again this time more so in horror as he recognized what was going on here. "This changes things, I need to go talk to the Calaveras in person." Standing stiffly and looking over at his still unpacked bags, he sighed and amended himself, "In a few days, we have much to do before then."

A sudden noise brought Isaac's attention back to the classroom and out of his memory banks. Turning in the direction of the sound, the boy was unsurprised to see that Malia was stammering excuses at the board and Lydia was trying to help her out. As Ms. Fleming directed her attention to the struggling recently reverted Malia causing Stiles to panic slightly earning a laugh from Scott, Isaac looked over at Allison to see how she was holding up. Her father left yesterday and there was no news yet from him about Kate or anything else for that matter. "It'll be okay." He mouthed and she grinned over at him with a smile that actually met her eyes. Facing forwards again, he felt the corners of his mouth twitch up into a smile as well. Even though this blissful rest period was sure to end any moment, it was enough for him that they got these moments in between the chaos to just breathe.

Hope that this less dramatic than last chapter makes up for Allison's general uncharactersitc angst. I shall update in a little over a week if all goes as planned. In the mean time, as always, read, enjoy, and review!
