I'll keep all the sappy shit down below, but I can't believe I'm actually posting this. It's felt like such a short and long time all together, and it's so strange to finally come on here and say here it is! It's done! Take it!

But here we are. So, let's get into it.

CHAPTER SUMMARY:

“Okay.” Stiles says, because, really, what else is there to do or say in this situation? Scott is busy unraveling his entire world in front of him, and Stiles is helpless, can’t do anything but watch. It’s the greatest day of his life, there’s no way anything after this will ever top it. If this is a dream, don’t wake him up, he thinks, and it’s the first time he’s ever asked—begged—for that instead of the opposite.

So that's it uh... they've finally talked! And they've actually expressed their feelings! Communication really is key...

I think what prompted me to write a lot of this fic was just how badly the show fucks up the sciles friendship, especially in later seasons... sometimes the level to which they just never fucking speak to each other about things drives me insane, because that is not how best friends would behave... and the conflict and them drifting away from each other was never shown as well as I'd wished! So I was like okay... I'm gonna do it, but then I'll actually make them confront each other, y'know, like they should've since the start.

I hope the ending came out well, and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did writing it. Like I mentioned in the end notes of the chapter, this is the very first time I end up finishing a multi-chapter fic, and it really is the longest story I've written... just... ever. So it's kind of a big deal to me. It's also the first fic I publish in several years (aside from my Stiles-centric story), so it was nerve wracking to say the least, but everyone's been so immensely kind to me... I'm very grateful... (╥﹏╥)

Thank you to everyone that's kept up with this, given it Kudos, notes, reblogged it, commented or even just clicked on it once!

The one-shot extra I talked about might go up at my usual upload time by the end of the week. I will definitely keep updating my blog on that front, and will eventually link it in ch 6 + will be added as part of a series.

Thank you for reading this far (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

Truth be told, Lucas reminds me a lot of myself when I was your age. Good ideals, less than ideal circumstances, always looking for the quick thrill or easy way out. Need a good distraction, you know? Only difference is, I was kicking it all on my own. Wasn’t great about keeping friends, and the ones I had weren’t true blue. So I ended up making all the wrong turns. If Lucas has friends like the two of you in his corner, looking out for him, then he’s already far better off than I was. Well, we love him. I’ll tell ya, he knows. And it means more than either of you will ever fully know.
