Cora's p.o.v
Derek text and asked me to meet him at the supermarket a couple blocks over after school. I didn't mind the walk. I text Scott and told him to meet me as he needed to stay back and talk to Coach. I feel an arm wrap around my waist from behind. I grin to myself and I know it's Scott. He kisses my cheek and moves to stand in front of me.
"You have no idea how extremely domestic that was" I tell him. He gives me a loop-sided smile and nods.
"No, I do" he says. "Think of it as payback for Derek dragging me out of your bed this morning" he jokes.
"Does that mean you think I don't like domestic?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm still figuring that one out" he says, meeting my eyes. "Care to help me?"
"Nah" I shake my head. "I'll leave you guessing" I grin mischeviously.
"I don't know if i'm a fan or that decision or not" Scott grins back, leaning forward. When he's close enough, he lifts me up with a big smile. My legs come around his hips and I smile down at him.
"Can you stop?" Scott practically drops me upon hearing Derek's voice. If I wasn't a werewolf, I would have fallen on my ass. We both stand up straight, not touching in any way and smile sweetly at Derek. "Get in the car" he says. We all pile into the car, me up front with Derek and Scott in the back seat.
"What are we having for dinner?" I ask Derek.
"Is food all you think about?" Derek asks. I hear Scott stiffle a laugh. I turn and look back at him and he's holding in a grin too. I poke my tounge out at him.
"So, dinner?" I ask Derek again, turning back to him.
"You two can order pizza or something" Derek says.
"But you just went food shopping, can't you cook us something?" I frown. Derek's a good cook, I like his food.
"No, i'm going..out" Derek says. Both Scott and I turn to him in curiosity.
"Where are you going?" I ask him.
"Out" Derek answers.
"Where too?" I ask him. Derek looks at me and then his eyes return to the road. And of course, he doesn't answer. "Do you have a girlfriend I don't know about?" I ask him.
"I'm not you and Scott" Derek says, a smirk coming to his lips. Scott makes a strangled sound in the back of his throat, probably the exact reaction Derek wanted by the way his smirk turns into a full-blown grin.
"A boyfriend I don't know about?" I tease, enjoying the way his face screws up.
"No, don't be an idiot Cora" he chuckles.
"So where? Tell me" I whine.
"God, you're so..sisterly lately" Derek says.
"Are you going to keep changing the subject or do I need to just follow you when you leave?" I ask him.
"You can try" he says, giving me a challenging look.
"Fine. I will" I say, meeting his gaze evenly.
"Argh. Don't" Derek sighs.
"Then tell me. Or I will" I say, only giving him the 2 options.
"Fine" he says louder than necessary. "I'm..i'm going to see.." he says something but it's so muffled I don't know what he says.
"Peter?" Scott says from the back seat. Oh..
"Is that right?" I ask Derek, looking at him a little suprised.
"I just need to ask him a few things about the full shift and that's it. I'll be home in half an hour" he says, sounding like he doesn't actually want to go in the first place.
"Okay" I say softly, nodding. I can tell he doesn't want to do this so I don't want to torture him anymore.
..
"Okay, i'm going. I'll be home soon" Derek says, grabbing his keys.
"You don't have to go Derek" i'm suprised when Scott speaks up. "Deaton can help"
"Noone knows about the full shift like Peter does, because of Mum and Laura..i'll be fine" Derek says. "Thanks for the uh..the concern" Derek smiles awkwardly.
"No problem" Scott chuckles, clapping him over the shoulder. They share a warm smile before Derek's leaving.
"Bye!" I call out, knowing he'll hear me. I turn back to Scott. "What was that?" I ask him.
"What was what?" he asks.
"That little exchange between you two" I smile. "He likes you" Scott smiles too.
"I'm glad he does" Scott says, coming over to me.
"So am I" I say. Scott hugs me. It confused me a little but I hug him back. I've noticed he's been acting all 'cute' as of late. I like it, it's bringing the softer and more sensitive side out of me as well. I'm just not sure why it's coming out, but I don't mind. He pulls back and leans his forehead againist mine. "I'd hate to be on bad terms with him when I really, really like his sister" Scott grins againist my lips before kissing me.
"Rumour has it" I say between kissing him. "His sister really, really likes you as well" like earlier, Scott lifts me up and I wrap my legs around him. He holds me up with his hands under my thighs.
"Good" Scott says, then a kiss. "Because" kiss. "He" kiss-
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock
"Scotty! You in there?" comes Stiles voice and his erratic knocking. I smile and jump down from Scott.
"It's okay, invite him inside" I tell Scott. Scott pecks my lips one more time before answering the door. A few seconds later, him and Scott are walking inside.
"Hey Cora" Stiles smiles. "Where's Derek?" he asks.
"Sorry Stiles but he's straight" I tease. Stiles chuckles and falls down onto the couch.
"Stiles, I don't live here, you can't just-" Scott starts.
"It's okay" I cut him off with a smile.
"You sure?" Scott asks, chuckling at Stiles who's now sprawled out across the couch.
"Yeah, it's fine" I assure him. I plock down on the couch opposite Stiles. Scott does too.
"So what were you two doing before I showed up?" Stiles asks with a yawn, covering his mouth. Scott and I share a look. "Oh..sorry for interrupting" Stiles grins knowingly.
"I'm sure we'll live" Scott says.
"Your Dad's been over at my house, came looking for you" Stiles tells Scott.
"He say much?" Scott asks him.
"Says me misses you, brought extra dinner last night thinking you'd go home" Stiles tells him. Scott smiles sadly. "But if you need your space man, you need your space" Stiles says. I turn to look at Scott.
"Hey, we don't have to go out tomorrow night" I say.
"No, I said I would take you out" Scott says.
"Scott, it's okay" I assure him. "Family's important and.." I trail off.
"You okay Cora?" Stiles asks. I look up at him and nod.
"Yeah" I tell him. "I have a better idea" I say to Scott.
"What's that?" he asks.
"How about this? I'll come over and we'll get our study done. Instead of going out, we make dinner for your Mum and Dad and we all sit down and eat together" I suggest.
"You'd really do that for us?" Scott asks. I nod.
"We can go out whenever Scott. But family..they can disappear in an instant" I say, speaking from experience. "Missing one date won't hurt, it'll give you some time with your family. It'll give me the time to actually meet your Dad and get to know your Mum a little more" I say.
"I'd like that, I know they will too" Scott smiles, squeezing my hand. "Okay, tomorrow we have dinner at my house then" he nods. "Can we move our date back though? I still want to go"
"Yeah, course" I smile.
"Awwww!" Stiles says, grinning.
"Shut up Stiles" Scott and I say at the same time. The unison speaking makes Stiles laugh loudly.
"So" Stiles says once he's stopped laughing. "What are we having for dinner?" he asks, making us laugh.

There's a reason for the fluff! But I also like writing fluff :) Scott and even Stiles are going to be getting cozier at the Hale loft as the days go by. Cora and Malia, little more conflict will be arising soon ;) Favourite, follow and review!
