Sheriff Stilinski's
New Friend
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here and has been floating around in my head for some time now.
Summary: Sometime after Stiles goes to College, Noah Stilinski's feeling a little lonely at home. But that soon changes thanks to one particular resident!
A few months after Stiles had left for College, Noah Stilinski had started to feel a little lonely around the house. Almost to the point he had nearly asked Natalie to move in but refrained from doing so since they weren't exactly at that stage of their relationship just yet. So he'd taken to staying away for as long as he could from the empty house until old Mattheson handed over his rambunctious black and brown French Mastiff that was in bad need of a shower. The old man knew he could no longer care for the dog due to his ailing health and thought the Sheriff was the ideal person to take in Bandit. Noah had been wary of the whole thing considering he hadn't cared for a dog in years and the smelly dog was a bit on the destructive side! But take in Bandit the Sheriff did and it would turn into something he didn't regret. Well, after nearly a month of having the French Mastiff living with him! For whatever reason, the dog seemed to rather love Stiles' room more then anywhere else and Noah had long given up trying to get the dog to be elsewhere in or outside of the house. Though on occasion, Bandit would sleep with Noah during the night. Melissa, Hayden, Natalie, Mason, a girl named Gwen, and Corey all loved the dog.
Though for whatever reason, Bandit and Liam did NOT get along. Matter of fact, Bandit had even taken a bite out of Liam's ass the first time they had met as well! Giving Scott's first Beta plenty of reason to want to avoid the dog as much as possible! Noah became so used to having the dog around, that by the time Stiles came home for Thanksgiving break, he hadn't even thought of warning his son about Bandit! "Dad! What the Hell is this dog doin' in my room!?" Demanded to know his irate son after he'd hauled ass down to the living room.
Said dog trailing behind him with one of Stiles' pillows in his mouth. One he tried to get back but the dog wouldn't give it up. Even growling at him while Noah just grinned in amusement. "Oh, that's Bandit. Completely slipped my mind to even tell you about him."
"How does this slip your mind!?"
"I uhh, I just got so used to him being here that I honestly hadn't thought to tell you."
A loud rip could be heard, making Stiles gape unhappily at his torn pillow as the dog took the other half and rolled around on it with noises coming from him. "Whoa, he's bigger then Apollo!" Declared Malia as she came into the house.
Barely paying attention to her boyfriend's unhappy expression! The dog instantly took notice of her and the two had a stare off while Noah just watched. Curious about how this would go. Bandit cautiously approached her and Malia just as cautiously knelt down in front of him and held out her hand. "Malia, what are you doin'!?"
"Shh. Its a meeting of equals."
"E-Equals!?" Spluttered Stiles while his dad snickered.
It made no sense in the younger Stilinski's mind! No sense at all! Especially when the horrible dog placed a paw in his girlfriend's open hand! Leading to the two shake hands so to speak before having a playful moment with one another. "I feel so betrayed right now."
"WOOF!" Came Bandit's response. Almost as if he was mocking him.
"And now you're just mockin' me."
"Oh please, there's no way this sweet little puppy is mocking you. Are you boy? No you're not!" Gushed Malia a bit uncharacteristically as she loved on the dog!
Granted, Stiles had never seen her interact all that much with Apollo. But considering Mr. Tate liked to threaten him with a shotgun anytime he came around, it was why that was so! His belief that the big dog was mocking him would only increase later that night when Bandit hogged up the bed. Only giving enough room for Malia to join him and instantly loving on the dog. And Stiles was sure the mutt was giving him a very smug look as he reluctantly left the room! Oh this isn't over! Just you wait and see!
Author's Notes: Glad I finally got to this! This was born from an idea I've had about the Sheriff bringing home a dog in my 'Altered Life' fic. An idea I may still do when the time comes but I wanted to test it out here so to speak. R and R!
