A/N: OMG, I know I said it would be short drabbles but ya...that didn't happen!
Also, for the guest who commented about Hayden being an OC character...um, you may want to go and re-watch Season 5A. Also, we just got a little glimpse into her life when she was in season 5 so much of this is guess work. I'll try and make her less conflicting though, thanks.
Summary: "And for the first time, in a long time, Isaac was contemplating ignoring Derek's 'no violence at school' rule. He was seriously considering it."
Read and Review
"Liam...?" Isaac took deep breaths through his nose as he asked the seemingly innocent question. Liam took a step back with his hands in the air like people have done to him in the past when his IED took over. He had his palms out facing forward in surrender, to show Isaac that he wasn't going to attack him. He had a vague understanding of Isaac's pre-werewolf abusive past and had seen Derek use this same tactic when the Pack got too loud or rowdy for Isaac's liking.
"Isaac..." Liam said cautiously. "What's going on man?" he replied slowly.
"What have you done?!" Isaac burst out suddenly. Liam didn't know if it was just the reflection of the lights but he could've sworn Isaac's eyes flashes beta yellow. "You knew I liked her and-ugh!" Isaac was so spitting mad that he couldn't finish the sentence.
After a short pause a look of recognition and understanding lit up Liam's eyes. "Kiddo, is this about Hayden?"
"Did you ask her out?" Isaac responded to Liam's question with another question.
"Dude, you left her alone on your first date, it's fair game now."
"It was a 911 emergency, I get a second chance." Isaac argued. He smelt Liam's emotions of regret, humiliation, and guilt swim over him and he knew his Pack mate didn't do it on purpose. Yet, that didn't calm him down as much as it should have.
"Kid I'm sorry, I just thought your date went bad." Liam said regretfully. He honestly hadn't known all the dirty details of the date, just that it took a sour turn.
"So now will you cancel it?" Isaac asked, seeming to turn back into his calm controlled self.
"Uh..." Liam rubbed the back of his neck.
"Why are you doing this to me Li?" Isaac sighed. "You're my Pack brother man."
"I didn't mean to but I've been in love with her since the 6th grade." He confessed. "It killed me when you asked her out."
"Why does everyone have school boy crushes? Stiles and Lydia, but now he's with Derek so I guess...anyways there's you and Hayden too-."
Liam chuckled, "I don't know man but this lucky junior is taking her to that carnival in the next county over tomorrow tonight. I'm sorry it didn't work out but I'm not going to cancel it man. If she really liked you don't you think she would've called, or texted you, or I don't know, not flirted with me as soon as I got to my locker."
"Are you sure it wasn't you flirting with her,"
Liam smirked, "Why do you always assume the worst in me?"
"You haven't proven me wrong yet."
"Someone is feeling sassy today."
"Liam, stop antagonizing him." Scott ordered out of the blue. He and Stiles were stomping towards the duo, having heard their commotion from outside, since, with his werewolf hearing, Scott could hear their argument loud and clear despite not being in seeing distance from there. Liam jumped a little in surprise but quickly got his cool back.
Liam chuckled, "Where's the fun in that?"
"Liam," Scott hissed as he came into their eyesight, and Liam whimpered in submission to the second in command Beta. Scott was Derek's right hand man, considering that he was the first wolf Derek took in, and Stiles was the Alpha's mate, making them both higher ranking then the two junior Beta's so their body's were basically demanding submission.
"Stop fighting." Scott growled. Isaac and Liam both fought their instincts to submit to their higher-ranking Beta and Alpha mate by bowing to them.
They clenched their teeth and nodded.
"Liam, go to class." Liam nodded and left when Scott ordered him to, despite there being 15 minutes left of lunch. Isaac whimpered in protest when Stiles ran his fingers through Isaac's hair, and he was having a hard time urging his body not to fall on the ground and roll onto his back in submission.
"C'mon Isaac, let's go back outside." Stiles said it like a suggestion but Isaac felt the tug on his wolf and knew it was an order. Isaac whimpered but nonetheless he followed Scott and Stiles back outside, Stiles' hands never leaving his body.
Isaac sat down on the bleachers, with Stiles and Scott right beside him, and desperately tried to contain his raging wolf, who wanted nothing more then to submit to the powerful duo and do as they say. (Is this turning oddly sexual or is it just me?)
"When you pick fights with older, tougher boys you make me age 10 years." Stiles chastised. Isaac nuzzled his head under Stiles' neck, fitting perfectly in the space like a piece in a puzzle.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry," Isaac whimpered. If he had been in his wolf form his entire body would've been lowered, his ears would've been drawn back, his tail would've been placed halfway between his legs, his back partially arched to show humbleness towards his superior, and his muzzle would've been facing Stiles in a show of acknowledgment.
"Wow, I can smell his desperation and humility all the way across the field." Malia said as she joined the group on the bleachers, using only her legs for balance, as her hands were full of math sheets.
"Shove off," Isaac mumbled into Stiles' neck. Stiles chuckled and rubbed Isaac's back. He knew the pup couldn't have held out for much longer.
"HEY BILINSKI!" Garrett yelled from the bottom of the bleachers. He cupped his mouth with his hands to carry his voice up the bleachers for maximum annoyance levels.
"Shut up Garrett." Stiles mumbled, too low for anyone without super hearing to hear.
"Bilinski, ha." Scott chuckled. Stiles elbowed him the ribs while continuing to stare staight ahead.
"I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT YOU GUYS!" His cronies cackled in glee as Garrett pick up steam. "ARE YOU ALL IN A SEX ORGY? I BET LAHEY'S KINKY, WITH ALL HIS DADDY ISSUES AND STUFF!"
If Isaac had been in his wolf form, his fur would've prickled and stood on edge. Scott wrapped his arm around Isaac and whispered, "Ignore them pup."
Isaac had been working with Derek to repress his wolf side when he felt the need to be protective. His first instinct when being bullied was to put up all his walls and his wolf would start howling to be let out to protect its human side. Obviously, that would be detrimental to the werewolf community in Beacon Hills so Derek, and sometimes Scott with Stiles, would train Isaac to ignore his predators. It killed Stiles to watch Isaac who had become so much more confident in himself since the bite, have to repress something he was proud of for the betterment of everyone else.
"HEY LAHEY, WANT TO SUCK MY-?" Garrett's voice was cut off by a lacrosse ball hitting him in the back of his head. "What the-?" Garrett yelped as he fell to the ground, clutching his head in his hands. Lydia strutted into the field, examining her nails, and stepped around Garrett (not before giving him a subtly swift kick that made him fall backwards) to get to the boys at the bleachers.
"Hey boys," She kissed Stiles on the cheek and sat down next to Isaac.
"Nice throw," Stiles nodded at Lydia beside him. They had a great view of Garrett's followers trying to revive him, as he lay sprawled out on the grass.
Lydia shrugged, "I don't admit to anything," she said with a smirk on her ruby red lips. She blew a kiss at Garrett and his friends with a smirk spreading across her flawless face. "Jackson taught me a thing or two about lacrosse." She flipped her hair over her shoulder and turned her intense eyes on the werewolves and human beside her. "Now what's this I hear about Hayden?"
Isaac groaned and held his head in his hands.
Hayden's POV
I studied myself in the mirror of the girl's bathroom. The lighting here was horrible. I turned from side to side to see which angle under the florescent lights made me look better. I was just studying my right side, with my lips pursed and eyes fierce with my new Mac eyeliner when a strawberry blond stormed into the bathroom with the door slamming behind her for maximum angst.
"Are you Hayden?" She asked me as I cleaned up my makeup bag. The last thing I wanted to do was have a confrontation with one of the most popular seniors in the bathroom. How did she even know my name?
"Yes..." I said as I put my makeup bag in my backpack for a speedy escape. "I have to go-."
"Stay away from Liam."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard what I said."
"Are you his mother?"
"What?" She asked. I put my backpack down and put my hands on my hips. Leaving wasn't an option now.
"You heard what I said." I replied, using Lydia's sassiness against her. She raised her eyebrows, clearly expecting more, so I gave it to her. "Based on my understandings of the human body and basic math, it is quite impossible that he is your biological son, so therefore you have no legal claim over him."
Lydia's eyes narrowed. "Sweetheart, you know nothing about the real world. We will chew you up and spit you right into a puddle of your own mess so it's best you listen to me when I tell your faux fur, Target bought boots to never walk near Liam or talk to him with your severely chapped lips, ever again!"
"Or what?" I retorted, crossing my arms.
"Or else." She said menacingly. "I have friends in high places."
"Is this about Isaac?" I asked, suddenly realizing that Lydia was friends with both Isaac and Liam. Why hadn't I realized that before? It's so obvious now why she's mad!
"Excuse me?' Lydia asked as if I had insulted her, but her eyes gave away the truth.
"Look, I don't think that any man should have dominant control over me. If Isaac is forbidding Liam from dating me, simply because he asked me first, that's despicable. How can you call yourself a feminist? No man but my father has control over who I date, when I date them, and where we go. I can't believe you're doing this Lydia, aren't you the girl who needs no man to show you how things are done? You basically chewed out Greenburg when he talked about how men are smarter then women, and now you're telling me not to date someone because Isaac has some kind of hold on me! Oh my god, you're such a hypocrite." I picked up my bag, shoved past Lydia, and stormed out of the bathroom. That was probably the gutsiest thing I've ever done and I'm willing to suffer through social suicide for what I said.
I huffed and stormed off to my class. As I rounded the corner I bumped into a solid figure and fell to the floor. Rubbing my nose, which ran smack dab in the middle of the solid figure, I looked up at the bolder I ran into and bright blue eyes gleamed back at me
Of course it was Liam freaking Dunbar. Okay, it's official; God hates me!
"Oh h-h-hey Hayden." Liam stuttered out a reply like he was nervous. Why would he be nervous?
"I've got to go to class." I flipped my hair over my shoulder and breezed by him.
"Wait!" I felt a hand yanking on my backpack and I swung around and smacked Liam's hand away.
"I really need to go Liam." I started backing away from him but once he stepped forward as if to follow me I ran the rest of the way.
I made it to class just as the bell rang, earning a disapproving look from my teacher. Oh well, I shrug in my head. Who needs to know science anyways?
Liam knocked on Isaac's bedroom door in the Hale house. "Zac? Buddy? I'm sorry for going after Hayden, even though she was the one who began the flirting, and I don't want a girl coming in between us. Please come out." When there was no reply Liam sighed and sat down on the ground. He leaned against the wall beside Isaac's room and rested his head against the cold wall.
"He's mad at you." Malia said bluntly. She had come out of her room after hearing Liam's desperate pleas for forgiveness. She had changed out of her school clothes and into sweatpants and a baggy sweater that Liam was almost certain had been Derek's. Stiles had explained when he'd first joined the pack that packmates liked to take their alpha's clothes to smell them and wear them. It gives them a sense of protection and makes their scent stronger so other Pack's would be warned. Although Liam had scoffed at the idea, he had a pair of Stiles' gloves under his pillow (although he would adamantly deny it if anyone asked).
"Ya, I got that." Liam replied.
"Are you going to stay out here?"
"He has to come out eventually." Malia shrugged and closed her bedroom door. Liam sighed and leaned his head back again.
"Zaaccc," Liam sang, knowing his voice would carry into Isaac's room.
"If you think annoying me is going to force me to talk to you then your wrong." Isaac said from his bedroom.
"I could just pick your lock."
"Ya and I could throw you out the window." Isaac retorted.
Liam snorted, "Okay Zac." He said, clearly disbelieving.
"Are you just going to sit there until I come out?"
"Yup."
"You're so annoying."
"Takes one to know one." Liam smirked, having fun teasing his 'little brother.'
"You're retorts aren't even that creative or original."
"Ooo, send me to the burn unit." Liam said. He could hear Isaac's heartbeat picking up pace as he got angrier. To be honest, Liam loved the rush of adrenalin he got when he was itching for a fight. When he was first diagnosed with I.E.D, his doctors and his parents kept trying to squelch that adrenalin, but as a wolf he'd learnt to embrace it and use it to win supernatural fights. It especially came in handy when they trained and Liam was paired up with a physically superior pack mate, like Jackson or Scott. He was never paired with Derek, Stiles was worried they would kill each other. Well more specifically Liam would be killed, because he would be exerting too much effort and go too wild.
"Seriously you guys? What are you, five?" Scott asked as he walked past Liam and Isaac to get to his temporary room at the Hale's. Melissa preferred having him at home but on the weekends or at a late Pack night Scott would sleep over with everyone. Really only Malia, Liam, and Isaac needed to constantly be over so they could get used to the Pack's scent and have the scent on them so if they were attacked, the attacker would know they weren't a struggling Omega and had backup.
Liam chortled, "I've finally graduated to grade one, so I'm six, thank you very much Scott." Scott rolled his eyes and walked into his own room. "Can't say the same for Zac though, he needs to work on his sharing skills." Isaac pounded his door suddenly, making Liam jump. Isaac laughed as he could hear Liam's heart rate had risen in surprise.
"Oh very cute." Liam snipped. "Fine, stay in there pouting like the little baby that you are." Liam huffed and kicked Isaac's door with his foot. "I won't waste another breath on you." He promised before pivoting to walk down the hall towards his room.
"Is that a promise?" Isaac asked. And despite knowing that Liam was still in normal hearing range he didn't get a reply back.
"Lydia, can you please pass me the salt?" Lydia glanced from Isaac to Liam, who had the salt right in front of him, before cautiously reaching over and grabbing the salt.
"Here," She said, passing the salt across the table to Isaac. Liam's eyes were focusing on his pasta but the beginnings of a smile showed on his lips.
"Five year olds," Scott sang under his breath. Kira nudged him in the ribs.
"Are you two going to keep your pissing contest up or can I focus my energy on more important matters." Jackson asked while twirling spaghetti around his forks prongs.
"Like what, keeping your tan up?" Stiles retorted.
"Or benching weights that are equal to your IQ score?" Lydia joked back. Danny snorted and Jackson sent him a scathing glare.
"I'm done," He throws his napkin on his plate and pushes his chair back causing a sharp screeching noise to echo around the kitchen, making those with super senses wince.
"Ow," Liam whines, tugging at his ear lobe. "Sheesh man."
"Sorry," Jackson said looking anything but apologetic. "I'm going home," he told everyone but was looking pointedly at Derek. "I have a date with Rebecca Sharp and I don't want being associated with you losers to be the first thing she sees when I open the door." Derek nodded, but his mouth was turned into a frown. He hated how Jackson cared much more about his popularity then his loyalty to the Pack.
"Hey, wait for me!" Danny called. He at least had the courtesy of putting his plate in the sink and napkin in the trash. "Sorry guys, he's my ride home." He shrugged and ran after his best friend.
"Nice family dinner you said," Stiles said, twirling his fork around his fingers. "We'll all be together you said." Derek sent a growl in Stiles' direction making the boy laugh. He kissed Derek on the cheek and ruffled his hair. "I'm only teasing you, you big sourwolf," he whispered into Derek's ear.
"Hey Kira, let's go decide what to wear tomorrow." Lydia said suddenly as she dabbed her lips with her napkin. Kira looked up surprised by the invite. Lydia really didn't like anyone in her room at the house.
"Okay!" Kira stood up and took her plate over to the sink.
"Oh can I come?" Scott eagerly asked, vying for any excuse to leave the uncomfortable room.
"Just girls." Lydia sent him a smirk as she pulled Kira up the stairs.
"Hey, put your dishes in the sink!" Stiles called after them but the girls ignored the hyperactive teen.
"Alright, and that's enough sugary sweetness for today." Erica said."Stop before I puke kitties and rainbows." Stiles threw his napkin at her and she split it in mid air with her extended claws. "C'mon Boyd." Boyd nodded at Erica and silently followed her out of the kitchen.
"So now seems like a good time to talk about what happened this afternoon." Derek sighed. He crossed his arms and leaned back against his seat. Liam and Isaac exchanged glances across the table and mimicked Derek's threatening stance.
"Uh...I think I'll get going?" Scott shuffled awkwardly out of the kitchen.
"Wimp." Liam muttered under his breath. He wasn't really annoyed at Scott, he would've done the same thing had the situation been reversed, he just really didn't want to discuss his love life with her second parents.
"So Isaac...what happened?" Derek leaned forward in his seat.
Isaac opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He spilled his guts and told the whole story, surprising trying to be unbiased towards Liam although his sly little commentary did slip in once in a while.
"So Liam, being the little genius that he is-"
"Hey!"
"Back on track Isaac. You said you were at Breadstix?" Derek coaxed him back to the story.
Once he was done telling the story there was a pregnant pause in the kitchen until Stiles turned to Liam.
"Anything you want to add?"
Liam turned in his seat towards Isaac, "Zac, she started to flirt with me, I didn't start it bro. She said that her date was cut short and that she didn't have any fun. I had no idea it was Pack related man, we were doing different things on that 911 pack emergency and I went straight home afterwards. It literally didn't even come to my mind the corresponding dates until you after got angry with me at school."
Isaac sighed and looked down at the floor, remaining silent.
"Zac?" Stiles prompted, jostling Isaac's leg a little.
"You could have told her to go away Liam. Don't act like you were defenceless."
"And you could snuggle with me and Derek tonight but both look like they aren't going to happen." Stiles snapped.
"Stiles," Isaac whined.
"Hey we could lock you in a closet and make you talk out your problems like we did for Scott and Jackson."
'They still hate each other." Liam informed.
"Ya but not as much as before." Stiles kissed Isaac's forehead and then the top of Liam's hair as he walked around the table finally ending at the head. "You two will deal with your issues before the end of this week or no there will be more dating. Ever. If girls cause you this many issues, you can go without them."
"You're giving us an ultimatum?" Liam asked astonished.
"Yup." Stiles gave them a smirk and waltzed out of the room. Immediately both heads turned to Derek who held up his hands.
"Hey, you heard my mate. I'm not crazy enough to defy his orders, wolf or not." The two boys sighed dejectedly as Derek got up and left the kitchen.
"So..." Liam shut his mouth when Isaac sent him a scathing look. "Great conversation." Liam muttered.
