(this is a one shot that I want for them to put in the show, of Stalia dancing and finding their way back to each other for prom, I hope you enjoy it!)
"Come on, one dance." Stiles begs me, but I shake my head, staying my butt at the table, I feel ridiculous in this prom dress, the heels digging into my skin, as I tap my hand against the decorated table to the beat of the music.
I didn't dance, that wasn't my thing, but Stiles over here and begging me like this, I hate to admit it but it made me want to grab his awaiting hand and go out there for awhile.
"No, Stiles, I don't feel like dancing right now." I say, as I grab the fruity punch, raising it to my lips.
"Well, you look really beautiful, tonight." He says softly, as he sits next to me, and I stare at him, my heart doing little flip flops off rhythm as I smile lightly at his words.
I scan my brown eyes down his tux, he does look very handsome tonight, but ever since I got back from the trip to find my mother, the desert wolf things hadn't been right between us, especially when he found out Theo had tagged along.
I didn't even want to come to the prom I was so upset about the things I had found out about my mother, all leads were dead, and I really just wanted to kill her at this point, get it over with, so I never have to be reminded of her and what she did to my only family.
"All I'm saying is one last dance, Malia, and then I'll let you walk away, if that's what you want." He whispers, as he sticks out his hand, and I look back at his hand, and then into his face, I see the hidden pain in his eyes, but his mouth smiles softly towards me. The truth is, I didn't want to walk away, I never wanted to end things with him, we were just in a bad place, in a bad time, but now things should be better, so why weren't they?
I look up into Stiles's brown eyes, looking for the answers, but all I feel towards him is that same tug of love I felt in eichen house when I took a chance and kissed him, and he kissed me back, so why not take a risk now?
I gently reach out and grab his hand, and I almost feel his sigh in relief in my bones, as I stand up, smoothing out my black dress, he twists me around so that I'm facing him, and we walk onto the florescent lit dance floor.
As soon as we depart to the dance floor, the music changes, a soft ballad.
"Something about you
It's like an addiction
Hit me with your best shot honey."
I look up into Stiles brown eyes, their gleaming, as he pulls me closer to his chest, his left hand intertwining with mine, as I wrap my arm around his neck, holding him closer to me, his warmth sends shivers up my spine. He grabs our intertwined hands, holding them close to his beating heart, and I lean my head into the soft crook of his neck, we sway back and forth.
"And you keep coming back, coming back again
Keep running round, running round, running round my head."
His heart beat changes from slow to fast in one second, as I close my eyes, counting each beat it feels so good to be close to him as I am now, I hadn't really thought about this in a long time, how much I missed his warm body intertwining with mine, keeping me warm on the coldest of nights, how much I missed him while I was away, this is the only time I allow myself to think about that, as his thumb brushes against my knuckles.
"And there's certain things that I adore
And there's certain things that I ignore
But I'm certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours."
I finally allow myself to look up from his neck, his brown eyes are so filled with love as he gazes down at me, and I find myself memorized by them, I can't look away, as I think about the song lyrics that just came into my ears. I'm certain that I'm yours. I was, I know Stiles and I love each other, I know we will always protect each other, what's broken can be fixed.
I feel tears in my eyes, and Stiles pulls me closer, his thumbs resting against my cheek bones.
"Shh, no crying on prom night." He jokes lightly, as he brushes a soft tear from my eye, and I laugh quietly, as more light tears flow down my cheeks, he didn't understand, I want to try again.
"I l-love you." I choke out, and his brown eyes widen, but their soon relaxed, as he smiles wide, nodding his head.
"I thought we agreed not to act like a cliche couple." He whispers, as he sets his lips down on mine, and I know he was saying he loved me too, I kiss him back, as I wrap my hands around his neck, and he pulls me closer by my waist, I gently run my fingers through his hair, and he deepens the kiss, slowly, we break apart, breathing hard, I brush my nose against his.
"I'm surprised you didn't stomp on my feet." I joke lightly, and he laughs, closing his eyes.
"I.. actually picked up some dancing classes." He says in a serious tone, as he opens his eyes, and I stare at him surprised.
"Wow, my boyfriend learning to dance." I say, as I poke him lightly in the ribs.
He smiles at me, as he brushes my cheek with the pad of his thumb, and I feel the warmth from his body radiating off me, and I smile back at him.
Suddenly his face turns somber, as he stares at me.
"If you ever want to talk about your mom." He starts to say, but I lean in and kiss his cheek softly.
"Tonight, I promise." I say, not wanting to ruin this perfect moment with the details of my estranged mother.
"Does that mean you're coming over?" He asks, and he can't hide the dorky smile on his face.
I smooth back his hair from his eyes, nodding my head.
"Yes, I'm coming over." I say, as I wrap my arms around his neck again, and he holds me again by the waist, we sway back and forth until the end of the night.
