Cora's p.o.v
When there's a knock on the door, the sun not long gone down, I answer it.
"Were you kidding when you said I could come over?" Scott asks, looking a little upset.
"Course not, come in" I say. He comes in and I close the door behind him. Derek walks into the room. He's about to make some insult or joke but his eyebrows burrow when he sees Scott's upset.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Derek asks him, coming over.
"I uh..um..never mind..i'll go" Scott says, moving to turn around.
"It's okay" Derek says, catching his arm softly. "Come sit down" I give Derek a thankful smile. We all go and sit in the lounge.
"Thanks" Scott says quietly, voice not holding his usual enthusiasm.
"Did something happen?" I ask him.
"Stupid fight with my Dad" he says. "I didn't want to be there anymore" he tells us. I nod, understanding.
"Well.." Derek starts. He bites his lips a little like the sentence's going to cause him physical pain. "You can stay here" he offers. I smile at Derek. He really is a good guy underneth all that angry bullshit.
"You sure?" Scott asks him.
"Yeah" Derek nods, smiling softly. "On the couch" he adds quickly and firmly.
"Der-" I start. He shakes his head, cutting off that debate.
"It's okay. Thank you" Scott says.
"Thanks" I give Derek a small smile. "You want to..talk about it?" I ask Scott, face screwing up at how non-me and emotionally supportive that was. Scott chuckles.
"Thanks, but i'm okay" he says. "Nice try though" I chuckle as well.
"I was about to start on dinner, did you eat already?" Derek asks Scott.
"I sort of did" he says. "Walked out before we really started" he says awkwardly. I know it's hard for him to talk about his family affairs, just like it is for anyone.
"I'll make extra" Derek says.
"Thank you" Scott says sincerely. Derek gets up and heads into the kitchen. "Thanks for letting me in" Scott says, looking at me.
"Of course i'd let you in" I say. "Whenever you need me, come over" I say. Scott and I both laugh. "I really am trying to be sentimental"
"I know you are" Scott smiles softly. "Needs a little more work" he teases, his real smile finally coming out.
"Watch it McCall" I warn him with a smirk. Scott leans in to kiss me but with one look in the direction of the kitchen, he decides againist it. I chuckle and he goes a little red. "He'll get used to it" I say quietly. Scott nods with a warm smile.
"Are you still up for Wednesday?" Scott asks me.
"Course" I smile. "Where are we going?"
"I was thinking about that nice red resturant but I decided againist it. I wanna do something different, something a little more special" he says.
"Like what?" I ask, liking the sound of not being cooped up in some fancy dress with a bunch of random people.
"We could go down to the beach, have dinner down there" he suggests.
"I like that" I smile.
"We could stay the night down there-" Scott's cut off when we hear something glass smash from in the kitchen. "Or i'll have you home by 10, that's a better idea" he chuckles.
"Yeah, that's a good idea" I grin.
..
Once we've eaten, I bring Scott a pillow and blanket for the couch.
"Sorry..i'd bring you upstairs but.." I whisper, nodding towards where Derek's doing the dishes.
"It's okay, really" Scott smiles, beginning to make his bed.
"Cora and I are going to bed" Derek says, coming back into the room. His voice tells me I don't have a choice.
"Looks like i'm all of a sudden tired" I say with a smirk. "Night Scott"
"Night Cora" Scott says. I turn and look at Derek, motioning for him to leave the room. Derek raises his eyebrows back at me. I let my fangs come out a little. He rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, night Scott" Derek says, going for his room.
"Night" Scott says.
"Well goodnight to you too Sourwolf" I tease. Derek flips me the bird, closing his room door. I turn back to Scott. He's smiling. "What?" I ask him.
"It's nice to see you two being brother and sister again" he tells me.
"It feels nice to be a sister again" I say.
"Night Cora" Scott says.
"Night Scott" I reply. He leans in and kisses me. It's not as soft as our others but it's not as heated as it could be. I find myself getting into his lap without my brain's persmisson. I quickly pull back. "Sorry" I chuckle awkwardly.
"It's okay" he says, hands still on my sides. I'm still in his lap. I lean in and kiss him softer before pulling back and getting off him.
"Night" I smile, going back up to my room. I get into bed, feeling weird about the other half of my bed being empty. I know it's just because Scott's downstairs when I want him up here. I toss and turn for awhile, not able to fall asleep. Argh. I can't sleep. I check my phone. It's been half an hour. I flip over when I feel a presence behind me. A hand comes over my mouth. Scott puts a finger to his lips, telling me to be quiet. I nod and he takes his hand away.
"I could hear you tossing and turning from downstairs" he whispers.
"It's your fault" I grin.
"My fault?" he asks and I nod. "You okay?" he asks. I lift my covers up.
"Getting in?" I ask. Scott smiles, looking at me. He chuckles to himself and slips in beside me quiet as a mouse. His arm comes around my shoulders as I lay my head on his chest.
"Is this okay?" he asks. I nod. He brings his other hand down to thread through my fingers. I smile, curling into him. "We've got school tomorrow, we should get some sleep" Scott whispers. He leans down and kisses my head. I let my eyes flutter closed, sleepiness washing over me for real this time.
