You pull up to Stiles' house after practically doubling the speed limit and see that everyone is already there waiting. You're tense and nervous, they're all going to ask you about what's happened...and maybe you should tell them it happened again. But what will they say? What will they think? And oh man...you almost forgot about the video...all of your friends have seen you naked, having sex...dirty talk and all. Wonderful.
You drag yourself out of your car and walk up to the door. You're worried that they'll notice something, so you're fidgeting and trying to smooth out your clothes and straighten your hair as best as you can until the door opens and you see Stiles standing there.
He says something to you, but you're frozen. You can't help but keep thinking "he's doing this to me" but you remind yourself that it's not him...it just looks like him.
He calls out your name again and you finally snap out of it.
"You ok?" he asks.
"Yeah I'm fine, sorry."
He opens the door and you walk past him and into the living room where everyone is seated. Scott, Derek, Issac, Allison, Lydia, Kira, and Stiles...they're all there sitting and staring at you. Talk about uncomfortable.
You see the only spot left to sit is a chair that everyone is facing. Great. This is going to be awkward.
"We need to talk. I know it's going to be awkward, but we've gotta figure out what's going on." Scott says as you take your seat.
"Yeah I figured." you replied.
"So...first things first...are you ok? Did he hurt you or...uhh...force you or...do you think mind control maybe?" he was nervous about this conversation, too.
"No he didn't hurt me. He didn't force me, either. I...I thought it was Stiles. And no I don't think there's any mind control going on."
"Kira" Scott starts "any ideas as to why he's after her? Is he looking for something? Or is he just trying to screw with all of us? Is this normal?"
Kira sighed and glanced your way.
"I can't figure it out. It's not typical behavior for the Nogitsune, at least not from what my mother has told me."
"You told your mother?" you balked.
"I didn't say who! Just that it's one of my friends!" she replied.
"I'm sure she can figure it out! This is just great, aside from the whole school now knowing, now the entire town is going to find out too!" you were beginning to yell.
"Hey hey...calm down, we're just trying to figure things out here, okay?" Stiles put his hand on your shoulder but you jerked away fast.
"That's easy for you to say. It's easy for all of you! You don't have this guy following you around and waiting for you!"
"Well...he does kind of follow me around? But he obviously isn't doing the same thing to me that he's doing to you. So we want to know why." he backed away slightly, realizing that you weren't comfortable.
"Listen, maybe this was a mistake coming here." you begin to get up. Everyone is beginning to talk all at once and you just want to leave. You beginning feeling hot and start sweating. You try heading for the door, but the room starts spinning and then darkness takes over.
"Give her some room, guys!" you hear a voice yell out.
Your name is being called over and over again, asking you to "wake up! Please wake up! Open your eyes!"
You finally come around while someone is gently shaking your shoulders. You open your eyes and all of your friends' faces come into focus.
"What happened?" you asked, slowly sitting up.
"You passed out. Your face got pale and you just dropped. And then right after that, Stiles passed out too. He came to just a minute before you" Issac told you.
"Here, drink this." Allison handed you some water. "I'm sorry this is a lot for you. If you don't want to talk right now..."
"No, you know what. We need to figure this out." you tell them, getting to your feet with some help by a few of them.
"Okay...I'm going to just get this all out. Please let me say it all, because if someone stops me I may not want to finish." you tell them. They all nod their heads and sit down and wait for you to begin.
"I know why he's after me." everyone's eyes are on you waiting for you to continue "It's power he wants, right? He feeds off of fear, pain, strife...but with me it's different."
"Because of Stiles..." Derek interjects.
You turn to look at him, but you don't say anything. You can't say it...not in front of everyone. It's embarrassing, it's wrong, and it's already awkward as hell with what they all DO know at this point.
"Is he right?" you hear Stiles ask.
Again you still don't answer but at least this time you are able to look at him and nod.
"I think I know what's going on here..." Kira responds "It's different with you because you're still afraid of him, but you're attracted to him at the same time. He's feeding off of that...and he must like it. Is that what it is?" she was being sweet about it, trying not to make it any more awkward than it already was.
"That's what he told me." you reply.
"Wait...when did he tell you this?" Scott looked confused. "Not last night when we were all there. None of us heard him say that."
You took a deep breath and then prepared yourself for an onslaught from all of them.
"No not last night. I saw him again today. He found me at the school..."
"The text message." Stiles interrupted, wringing his hands and shaking his head.
"Yes, the text message. It was from him. I ran and tried to hide from everyone, but he found me." you weren't about to say anything else.
"It happened again, didn't it? You slept with him." Kira asked "You got here and right after that both you and Stiles passed out. Scott said the same thing happened last night after you and Stiles...or...who you thought was Stiles, slept together."
You put your head in your hands and nodded, not wanting to face them now that they knew that you not only slept with the Nogitsune twice, but this time you KNEW it wasn't Stiles and did it anyway.
"We need to talk." you hear Stiles say "Alone. Now." he leads you up the stairs away from everyone else and up to his room.
He doesn't say anything at first, his face is full of anger and for a minute you're a bit afraid of HIM but it passes once he puts both hands on your arms and looks you in the eye.
"I need you to tell me the truth, ok? Don't lie, don't sugar coat it. The truth. Did he hurt you? Did he force you? Is he manipulating you into doing any of this?"
"No..." you respond, not sure how else to answer him.
"Then why? Why did you do it again, when you knew it wasn't me?" he was begging you for some kind of answer, his eyes were pleading with you to give him something.
"Maybe because I wanted it to be you." you look away, ashamed at how you felt, but he asked you for the truth and there it was. At least you weren't around all of your friends to hear.
He let go of you and paced the room a few times, his hands running through his hair. He's mumbling something but you can't quite make out what he's saying, you're just hoping that he didn't somehow lose it now and you'll have to explain to everyone what happened this time.
He finally turned around and looked at you again.
"You never told me you had those feelings for me. Ever. We've been friends since we were kids. Why have you never said anything to me?"
"I..." you hesitate, trying to stall but there's nothing else to say at this point "because of Lydia."
"Lydia?" confusion is written all over his face.
"Yes, Lydia!" frustrated at this point you begin to finally let it out "It's always been Lydia! For as long as I can remember. You've always loved her. Always had a thing for her. And not that I blame you, she's smart and gorgeous and guys always fall all over themselves for her. But me? Guys don't do that for me. I'm the friend. I'm always the friend! And so instead of doing this, what I'm doing right now...probably ruining the friendship, I keep my mouth shut and just watch from afar. I'd rather be friends with you Stiles, than nothing at all. I can't lose you."
He stands there for a minute not saying a word and you're worried that you've done it. You've ruined everything. Nothing can go back to what it was after this. But you had to tell him. This Nogitsune can kill you both with feeding off of you, and you better at least tell him now before you both die.
"I wish you would have told me." he finally says "I had those feelings for Lydia. HAD. But I haven't had them for a while now. Haven't you noticed? I'm always with you. Ok well maybe not ALWAYS always with you, a lot of the time I'm with Scott because he is my best friend and all and I've known him since we were..."
"Stiles! You're rambling!" you interrupt him.
"Right. Sorry. Thank you. Anyway, when I'm not with him...I'm with you. I always want to be around you. You make me laugh, smile, feel good...and it takes a lot to do that these days. What I'm saying is, I have the same feelings for you."
Relief rushed over you and you quickly walked towards him, engulfing him in a hug. This was all you needed to hear! You break away from the hug and pull him in for a kiss, but it's short lived as he quickly pulls away.
"Stiles?" you're so confused. Didn't he just say he had those feelings for you? What the hell?
"I can't." sadness is written all over his face.
"What? Why? What's wrong?" you ask.
"I can't! All I can think about now is you with him. That video...I saw everything. And it wasn't me. I wanted it to be, trust me. But that asshole is using me to use you and I just...I can't. This isn't the way I wanted things."
He walks out the door and leaves you there stunned at what just happened. Now you have to go back downstairs and face your friends and the man who you love who now hates you, all because of this asshole Japanese spirit. You've gotta find some way to get revenge on this thing.
