cold hands, lips blue

“It’s not that I care about keeping up appearances,” Stiles said, “It’s that I’d rather people didn’t look at me like I was about to stab them. Or something.” He shrugged. “But yeah, aside from that, I don’t really care.”

“Were is the correct term,” Stiles laughed humourlessly. “I mean, I guess? I’m fine, I mean, what did I expect? Actually, scratch that, I expected a worse welcmoe than the one I got, so, really, I’m - alright.” Stiles shrugged, then sighed. “I guess some stuff happened while I was gone that I’d rather forget, but like, we’re - I’m all good. Really.” Stiles insisted - truthfully, lying through his teeth. 

“If it helps, I don’t worry that you are going to stab me. I mean, sometimes I question whether you aren’t just waiting for Lydia to show up but not physical violence. I have seen you on the lacrosse field.”

“I try not too, it is easier that way. Should I feel something?”

“Buried six feet under, yeah I know. You gonna scold me for believing family meant something cause I have already been through that shit.”

“Do you really have that much of a large ego that you assume every girl is thinking of you at all times? No I was not thinking of you.”

“Is this a trick question? Am I meant to know the answer, is there even an answer? Am I something to you?”

        ❝ I am smart enough to know that my ‘interpersonal skills’ are terrible. The best thing about it: I don’t want to improve them because I am not quite fond of people. ❞

  Stuart countered and gave her an ‘I-know-it-all’-look. Lanky arms were crossed before his chest as he listened to her blabbing but when she asked who had taught him manners, he dropped his gaze to the ground.

         ❝ My mother taught me. My mother, who died when I was eight. SO excuse me if I need a little upgrade on manners. ❞

      ‘ I don’t think it’s a female thing… I think it’s a millennial thing in general. – You don’t really care for my opinion, so I won’t give it, ’ he mused, dodging the question entirely. He wasn’t exactly the fondest of Skye, nor did he believe she was a fan of his. It seemed as though they both tolerated the other for Lydia’s benefit. ‘ – They’re meeting me at Derek’s loft… It’s the safe house… I guess. ’ Stiles mentally fist pumped. taking lengthy strides towards the door. 

“So you are dictated by the scrolling of a curated newsfeed? Curated on both sides, who we see and what we post cause come on, you gotta give me some reasons why you thought a buzzcut was something to curate.” Still, in the apparent threat of danger, she let him pull her towards his car. “Derek, creepy old my family died in a fire Derek? You trust him? Didn’t he do it?”

the eldest twin rolls her eyes,   clearly growing tired of skye’s attitude.   ‘   can we just have a conversation without you being a brat ?   are you completely incapable of doing that ?   ’

‘   you really do know how to overreact.   ’   the youngest sister rolls her eyes in return.   it was the true martin way of expressing their irritation,   after all.   ‘   did you ever consider that,   given the circumstance,   maybe they’d be the best ones to clean up a supernatural catastrophe   &   not you ?   ’ 

“I’ll be sure to,” Stiles said, dryly, then looked at her a little closer, assessing. “I mean,” He added, “Everyone wants to get out of this damn town, even if only for a little while.” 

“Alright, alright,” Stiles shrugged. “I guess so.”

“Yeah,” Stiles nodded. “Far, far better.”

“Yeah but it puls you back and people are kinda.... it’s like where do you go if you leave the entire world you knew behind,” she chuckled dryly as she remembered who she was talking to. “I guess you know.”

she appreciates the concern,   although it doesn’t show.   ‘   it’s taken care of.   no need to worry you after the fact.   ’   the girl leans forward,   letting out a sigh as she looked at the other girl.   ‘   scott handled it   .   .   .   well,   lydia kind of helped too,   but that’s it.   ’   her voice is more hushed at the mention of their other sister,   not knowing how skye would react.

To say that this stranger was different would be an understatement. The only thing familiar about her was the features on their stunning face. They were features that belonged to a unique personality, and rather different from the other person she was used to seeing them on. “That’s something this town might need. And as for the number, I’m sorry to disappoint you. They’re… well, indisposed for at the moment.” Teasing words, of course. “What is your name?”

‘   sorry,   let me start over   :   hey skye,   i accidentally killed someone.   ’   words drip with sarcasm as she crosses her arms,   hating the fact that the secret got back to her sister.   ‘   doesn’t exactly sound like a something i’d like to share,   does it ?   ’
