Drunken Happenings

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here.

Summary: In the wake of Donovan's death, Stiles breaks into his dad's liquor supply and gets drunk to deal with it.


Stiles, in a word, was freaked out as can be and even racked with guilt for pretty much killing Donovan with that scaffolding. And he wasn't entirely sure of what to do as he didn't feel like he could go to anyone and end up being judged for it. He didn't think he could handle that if it happened. Once he got himself home, he found himself in the room that held his dad's liquor supply and before he could really stop himself, broke into it and grabbed a bottle of Whiskey. Taking off the lid, he started to chug it and soon belched. By the time he finished it, he was already starting to feel a buzz and grabbed another bottle to drink from. During his fifth one, he was stumbling about all over the place while yelling about being guilty with tears coming down his face. "Where's… Where's 'Lia when I needs hers!?"

Searching for his keys and finding them on the kitchen table, he set off for Malia's in the hopes she could give him the comfort he so desperately needed. Though a part of him worried greatly she was going to reject him for having killed someone. Unfortunately for him however, his jeep died halfway there. "Aww come on man! This s**t ain't right!" Groused the teenager before getting out and nearly falling down in the process and walking unsteadily the rest of the way.

As he made his way there, he sang in a horribly off key tone while waving about his bottle of Whiskey in a wild way. Once he finally got to where he was going, the drunken guilt ridden mess of a teenager started banging loudly on her front door. "'Lia! I needs yew! 'Liaaaaa!"

He quickly stumbled back however when Mr. Tate angrily put a shot gun in his direction. Making Stiles put up his hands defensively and dropping his bottle of Whiskey in the process. "Ohh s**t. Another, another gun to my face!" Stiles then giggled crazily.

"Stiles? What the Hell is the matter with you!?" Asked Tate in a worried tone of voice as he had never seen the boy act like this before!

A sob escaped Stiles before answering. "I'm drunk man! I'm f**king drunk! I got… I got him killed… Its all my freakin' fault!"

Tate just looked at him in shock, wondering who the Hell he was talking about when Malia appeared at the door. "Dad? What's going… Stiles!?" The young Werecoyote was shocked at the sight of her sobbing boyfriend who had fallen to his knees.

Quickly crouching down, she wrapped her arms around him and he buried his face into her chest. "I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry! I didn't… I didn't mean to!"

Not being used to comforting anyone, Malia wasn't really sure of what to do but then remembered the times Stiles would do things to help her when she was stressed out and started to make soothing noises while rubbing circles on his back. "Let's get him inside." Suggested her dad and Malia nodded.

Wrapping one of his arms around her, she helped him get up and brought him in and straight towards her room. Which hadn't exactly been what Mr. Tate had in mind but he doubted the two would be doing anything serious. Malia gently helped him to the bed and sat next to him before asking what happened. Managing to get out the story between his drunken slurs, hiccuping, and sobs, the two soon learned of what happened but neither could find any fault for what happened. As it wasn't like he had meant for it to happen. Kneeling in front of his daughter's boyfriend with a concerned and understanding look on his face, Mr. Tate began to speak up. "Son, what happened was not your fault and was self defense. Now yeah, he died but you couldn't have known it would happen when you took out that pin. And I will personally slap the mess outta anybody who tries to tell you different. Alright? Its not your fault."

Stiles looked up at him in shock, hardly believing what he had just heard from the older man. "Really?" Cause God, even while drunk he needed the re-assurance badly before his guilt consumed him further.

"Really." Confirmed the man and giving him a pat on the shoulder.

Malia couldn't really find it in her to be too broken up by Donovan's death as she knew full well of his hatred towards the Sheriff. But she wasn't about to say that to her boyfriend as it was the last thing he needed right now. She was happy he had come to her and her dad in his drunken state and a part of her felt that he had done it cause he knew she would understand where he was coming from due to her own guilt about getting her family killed. Malia made a promise right then and there to be with him every step of the way just as he had done for her. Stiles would eventually end up falling asleep on her after her dad left the two alone and once she gently laid him down, she wrapped her arms tightly around her boyfriend to provide as much comfort as possible for the boy she loves.

Stiles' showing up at the Tates would make his relationship with Malia stronger as she supported him through his guilt over Donovan's death that she felt was misplaced and for Donovan to be un-deserving of. His going to her and her dad would help the two remain strong through all the crap they dealt with from Theo, the Chimeras, the Dread Doctors, and The Beast. Malia would even kick the ever loving crap out of Theo when she found out what he was trying to pull with her boyfriend and her dad even nearly went after him with his shotgun until she was able to talk him out of it.


Author's Notes: Cause if anyone would understand it would be Malia. At least I would like to think so anyway.
