Some DIY

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. Takes place a few days after Night School.

Summary: Life's always fun when you attempt a little DIY.


After the incident at the school that saw classes cancelled for Thursday and Friday to give them time to fix it up without anyone being in the way thanks to Derek Hale, Scott had decided to spend his time productively rather than mope around about Allison. So he made a list of things that needed fixing around his house and even did a little online research into how to fix any of it. A trip to the hardware store using Stiles' jeep that was funded with some saved up money Scott had would see the young Beta making his first attempt with some of the piping in the house that needed fixing. Which would take awhile considering neither he or Stiles really knew what they were doing even with the online research. But after a few mishaps and clean ups, the two eventually accomplished what they were doing when it came to the pipes. Leading to a fairly happy Melissa in the process as well. Friday would see the two fixing anything on the walls outside of the house before starting on some painting.

Melissa had even joined the two and at one point it had turned into a paint war between the three as they each tried to get the other. Culminating in the three managing to get paint on the Sheriff at the same time when he showed up to see how things were going. A big pizza dinner would occur afterwards between the four and the remaining paint job would be finished on Saturday after Scot finally woke up that following afternoon. While all that was going on, Allison Argent had either spent time by herself or with Lydia and as she came to calm down and think things through. She realized that perhaps she had been a bit hasty to judge him so quickly and a little harshly. Lydia had been of the opinion she should just make the boy sweat some but that didn't sit too well with Allison any. A talk with her aunt would help her out and after some more thinking on it, she finally reached out to Scott on Saturday.

But quickly grew to a mix of annoyance, worry, and fear about his lack of response to calls or texts. Annoyance that maybe he was ignoring her after how she had treated him, worry that something was wrong and it being the reason for her fear. It'd be around six that evening when her dad finally offered to take her over there. Causing Lydia and Jackson to follow along as well behind the two. What they all saw was a surprise however as the yard was a bit cluttered with wood and tools, even seeing Stiles' jeep driving off just as they were arriving. Melissa's car wasn't anywhere to be seen but the sounds of hammering could be heard however. After the painting had been finished up, Scott had decided to get up on the roof and try and fix it up so that there wouldn't be leaks anymore.

Which had been a challenge considering some spots were weak up there and Stiles had even fell through at one point with a foot. After putting in the last nail for one of the needed fix it areas, Scott grabbed up a nearby bottle of Gatorade and stood up as he dranked it. Allowing for his unexpected guests to catch sight of a shirtless and sweaty young man that had made the two girls lick their lips at the sight of. "SCOTT!" Called Allison, startling him in the process.

"Allison!?" Oh yeah, he was definitely surprised by the fact she was even here! Along with her dad, Lydia, and Jackson for that matter!

Setting the bottle down, he carefully made his way down the ladder and when they got a closer look at him, they all could see him also covered in wood dust as well. But it didn't stop Allison from hugging him much to his confusion considering how things had been left off between the two of them from that night. Jackson smirked at seeing the confused look on McCall's face but kept quiet. Pulling away, Allison looked him in the eyes. "Scott… I, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so hard on you."

Letting out a sigh as he returned her look, he spoke up. "I get it, I hate it, but I get it. But I'm guessing you being here means we're okay again?"

She nodded and he smiled happily. What happened next though was a little surprising as he wasn't expecting it when she hit him a bit hard on the shoulder! Making for Lydia to grin pleasedly at the sight of it. "Why didn't you answer any of my calls or texts!?" As surely he had to have gotten his phone back by now!

Scott looked a bit sheepish as he rubbed his sore shoulder a slight distance away from her. Making Chris think he actually had enough sense to stay away to avoid being hit again. "Uhh, I've had it off and in my room since I got it back for the most part."

He got a mild glare from that from his girl. "You had me worried Scott!" Proclaimed the girl and tentatively he reached out and hugged her while muttering an apology.

Which thankfully seemed to be enough but she did promise him he would be going with her on her next shopping trip and he wasn't allowed to complain to make it up to her for causing her to worry. Scott wasn't about to deny her that so he quickly agreed. They almost lost themselves in one another's eyes until Chris started to speak up, making Allison unhappy. "It looks like you've been a little busy Scott."

"Heh, yeah, just doing a few things that need fixing up."

"Need any help?" The young man was honestly surprised by that but was quick to agree after getting over it.

Jackson even helping out was a surprise too, which had made Stiles do a double take after returning with a few pizzas when he saw the sight on the rooftop. The girls, mostly Allison had helped to tidy things up out in the yard so it wasn't looking to be quite the disaster anymore and the sight of a shirtless Chris had made Melissa blush unexpectedly when she showed up after her shift was thankfully over with. Making for things to be slightly awkward at first until Scott cleared his throat to get things back on track and to try and shake off unwanted images in his head. Lydia had even joked to Allison about the potential between the two being a real possibility if it wasn't for her mother still being in the picture. Earning the girl a very cold reaction in the form of a water hose much to her annoyance.

And with the additional help of Chris and Jackson, Scott and Stiles were able to finish off the roof and in a moment that would probably be considered genius, the young Beta even brought up the idea of a cook out for Sunday. Which would lead to it being a thing in the days to come. Scott would even come clean to the Sheriff about the fact he had lied about Derek Hale being the killer but being unsure if he was even still alive after that night, earning himself a little heat from Allison over it but thankfully she let it go soon afterwards. Life was good, at least until Chris decided to be an ass and reveal Scott's secret to Allison. A move that had backfired spectacularly thanks to the fact that at one point she had walked in on Scott wolfed out without him realizing it at first as he'd been a little focused on attempting to trap a particularly pesky mouse.
