"Well that was a boring day today" Stiles said as he kicked the front door shut and dropped his bag near it.
"You didn't have to go in today you know, you could have said you were ill or something" he heard Laura's voice echo from the kitchen as he walked towards it. Stiles stopped at the door way and watched Laura for a few seconds move around the kitchen still not quite believing that he was now a werewolf and someone as beautiful as her is talking to him. It was then he noticed in the space between seeing her at school and now she had dyed her hair a different colour.
Laura was now sporting blonde hair with a red streak going through it and if she asked him if he liked it he would say that it suited her. He walked into the kitchen and up to her and playfully tugged on her ponytail while saying "What's this".
"Hair Stiles everyone has it" Laura said as she playfully swatted him in the face with her ponytail as she turned around to look at him. Stiles rolled his eyes while saying "I know what it is Laura, why did you dye it".
"I normally have my hair this colour you just caught me at a bad time" she said with smile, "Do you like it" she said after a few seconds of silence. Stiles nodded his head and said "Yeah course I do it suits you".
"Thanks" Laura says with a smile as she turns around to continue cooking the food she had started. Stiles was about to ask about the food when his phone rang and the caller ID said Scott.
"Hey buddy, what's up" Stiles said as he answered the phone and placed it on the table while putting him on speaker.
"I've found my inhaler" was the first thing Scott said once Stiles had answered.
"Not even a Hey, or a how's it going, rude" Laura said as she walked over to fridge and opened it. Stiles grinned at her retreating form before saying "I thought you didn't need it, you said after practice that you felt fine and not out of breathe".
Stiles heard twigs snapping before Scott gave him an answer. "I felt fine, in fact I felt great but I went and got it anyway, plus I ran into someone to". Stiles frowned down at the phone before saying "If you're about to tell me you met Allison in the woods I'm not interested".
Scott sighed before saying "No I met a guy and he said I was on private property and he chucked my inhaler at me before he walked off".
"Private Property? Is there anything up their?" Stiles asked directing the question more to Laura than to Scott.
"I have no idea" Stiles heard Scott say as he looked down at the pad that was thrust in front of him.
"Hale House" Stiles muttered.
"Wait so he was a Hale" Scott said in surprise.
"Yeah it was probably Derek Hale, his family was burnt to death 10 years ago in a fire" Stiles said as he felt Laura flinch behind him.
"Really, I never knew, anyway I'm at the vets now so we'll talk later ok?" he heard Scott say as he watched Laura walk over to the nearby chair and sat in it to eat her food.
"Yeah sure I'll see you later buddy" Stiles said as he hung up and walked over towards Laura.
"Before you ask Stiles I'm fine" Laura grumbled as she poked the food around on her plate. Stiles frowned down at her before saying "I'm sorry about mentioning the fire it must be pretty hard".
"I said I'm fine, now drop it" Laura growled out as she looked at him with her eyes flashing red. Stiles eyes widened as he took a step back with his hands in the air. He sighed before walking over to the door and picking up his bag and started to walk towards the stairs before stopping.
"I'm not your brother, so I won't judge you if you let your guard down and act like a normal person" Stiles says before walking up the stairs.
Line break
Stiles slowly opened his eyes and frowned at the ceiling not remembering when he fell asleep. He lay still for a few seconds listening to the quiet breathing of Laura who was sprawled out next to him head buried into his arm. He turned over facing her which made Laura shift forward burning her face under his chin. He blushed when the blanket that was covering fell down slightly to reveal she was only wearing a bra.
"You know, for someone who doesn't let their guard down your awfully cuddly when you're asleep" Stiles said voice still laced with sleep.
"Shut up before I rip your throat out with me teeth" Laura grumbled before she peeked up at him slightly glaring at him.
Stiles smirked down at her before shifting back onto his back and saying "So I don't mind you being here but, is there a reason you're here and not with your brother".
He felt Laura shrug before she said "Well I have no other place to stay, it was either here or the Hale house". "Plus I'm starting to like having you around" she finished off by looking up at him and giving him a wink.
"Thanks I guess" Stiles said unsure on what to say to her. "Oh and there's also the whole control the werewolf thing as well" Stiles said after a few seconds of silence.
"What did you expect me to leave you to learn all by yourself?" Laura asked with a frown.
"Well I'm not the most popular kid at school, then neither is Scott but then Lydia's finally noticed me thanks to you biting me, and Allison has to but you still haven't told me what the deal is with her" Stiles said with a slight shrug while attempting to glare a hole into the ceiling. There was a slight shuffle next to him and then Laura's face came hovering over his as she stared at him.
Stiles blinked a few times before lifting an eyebrow and saying "What".
"First of all, I'm not going to leave you alone your stuck with me even after I help you control your wolf and the only way you will get rid of me is if I'm dead got that" Laura said after a few seconds of silence. Stiles eyes widened and he went to say something only to have Laura's finger pressed against his lips.
"I'm not done, secondly this friendship that's going to form, people will see it whether it's when I meet you after school or if were just hanging out and quite frankly I've known you for a day and I think people are stupid for not talking to you" Laura said as she removed her finger from Stiles lips.
Stiles slowly nodded his head and was about to say something but was again cut off but this time by a low growl coming from by the window.
"Please tell me that was your stomach?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Laura gave him an unimpressed look before looking over to the window when the noise happened again. Stiles sighed before he extracted himself from underneath her and walked over to the window while saying "Seriously if this is an idiot revving his car engine I swear to god".
"Stiles stop, what are you doing, what if it's not an idiot in his car?" Laura asked as she sat up on the bed.
"I'm just taking a look, it will be fine what's the worst that could happen" Stiles said as he opened the window and took a look out of it.
"See nothing" Stiles said as he turned around and grinned at her. The growl happened again and Stiles noticed it sounded a lot louder now that the window was open. He turned around just in time to see a giant claw grab him and pull him out of the window.
"Oh shit" he shouted as Laura's eyes widened.
"STILES" she shouted as she jumped of the bed and ran to the window. She looked out of the window in time to see Stiles slide underneath the werewolf's legs and drop kicking it in its back. Stiles growled as he landed before saying "If you want Laura you're going to have to go through me first".
"You're going to have to kill both of us" a voice said next to him. Stiles looked to his left and noticed that Laura had jumped down and was stood next to him wolfed out. Laura's eye widened slightly when she realised that Stiles had shifted and was staring at her with yellow eyes.
"Get ready" Stiles growled out as he looked back towards the beast. The wolf took a step forward and released a loud howl before running off into the woods.
"Well that was strange and unexpected" Laura said once she had shifted back. She looked over to see Stiles still on all fours. "Sherriff car" he muttered as she walked over. "What where?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. Before she had the chance to look, Stiles grabbed her and kicked the back gate open before bringing her inside and quickly shutting it before they were found. Laura blinked a few times before she realised she was pressed up against the gate and Stiles was listening to see if the car had drove by.
Curiosity got the better of Laura as she placed a hand on his chest and watched Stiles slowly shift back to normal while he looked slightly pale and his breathing was ragged. She quickly pulled her hand back when she felt something wet and noticed her hand was covered in blood. Laura's eyes quickly widened as she pulled Stiles shirt up to reveal a rather large claw mark on his chest.
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine it was just a lucky shot" Stiles said as he followed Laura's eyes down to his chest. "Lucky Shot, Stiles half the skin of your chest is missing there's nothing lucky about it" Laura said as she waited to catch Stiles as he swayed side to side.
He collapsed into her waiting arms and Stiles whispered into her ear "I will be when we get back into the house and I can lie down". Laura stared at him in worry before she placed her hand back on his chest and started to leach the pain away.
"Whatever you are doing, stop it now" Stiles growled into her ear as he tried to pull away only to be pulled back.
"I'm just pulling a little pain away its fine" Laura says as she starts to feel light headed.
"Pulling a little bit of pain?" "Laura your face, it's probably as pale as mine is right now" Stiles said as he grabbed her hand and slowly lowering it. After a few seconds of silence, Laura sighed before saying "Come on he's gone let's get you inside".
