guys she appeared to like this post i’m going to cry real tears of joy, i love u dad

that dark,   cold presence in the back of stiles’ mind can easily be interpreted as leftover ptsd from everything he’s been through   -   brushed away as no concern,   merely something he’ll have to live with the rest of his life.   sometimes,  though,   he might feel as if someone’s WATCHING him,   keeping track of his activities.   stiles might feel a chill down his spine that he can’t ignore,   can’t explain. 

then the DREAMS come,   and those are even worse.   because those dreams involve void himself,   a reminder of everything he’d once been through.   this time,   however,   the darkness that had been fed by how much stiles had been through is more powerful,   more prominent.   stiles has killed someone,   now   -   and that leans enough of a mark of power for the demon to feed on delightfully.

‘ i knew i saw potential in you,   stiles.   i knew you were capable of being just as much of a monster as me. ’

          one thing that vidal does,   without a shadow of a doubt,   is pay attention.   he pays attention to the fact that stiles received a card from his father,   in the mail,   with a tiny little cake on it.   watches him place it on the counter without really saying anything,   then lets him head to class with a wave and doesn’t say much else.   except,   he doesn’t just SIT AROUND all day,   doing nothing   -   not today.   in fact,   he moves about the place,   and even leaves very briefly to go do something.

when stiles gets back,   he’s gonna find his small little apartment filled with a variety of different sized pots.   each one has some kind of wild,   exotic flower in it.   there might even be just one venus fly trap,   because those are really cool and he wants to give something stiles can appreciate,   and really look at.

there is one PRACTICAL gift,   however   -   a small chocolate cake,   drizzled with caramel over the normal frosting.   and there’s probably a carton of ice cream in the freezer.   vidal knows normal human birthday practices,   even if he only has a limited means of giving things to stiles.   the plants,   luckily,   are free.
