#stydia dancing

In the span of a breath, the deflating pang of regret vanished. Lydia gazed at Stiles and saw...everything. Understanding, care, patience, forgiveness, willingness... It was all there, same as it always was, all of it directed at her. She saw the boy she had been gravitating towards since he asked her to the Winter Formal, and she wanted nothing more than to dance with him again.  

Chapter 38: Begin Again (The Final Chapter)

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Characters: Stiles + Lydia, Prada too.

Summary: As they sway side to side, Lydia’s heart tugs with love and memory. She leans into it, feels his whole body sigh into the contact, and she remembers.

She remembers the first time she asked Stiles to dance...

On a Wednesday, in August, Lydia was on her way to meet Stiles.

She remembers the lacy shadows of leaves sweeping past her windshield, the tawny hue of late solstice sunrays, and the intermittent rattle of cicadas as she drove the seasonably empty streets of Beacon Hills.

She also remembers that her junior year class schedule had arrived with the morning mail. Yet another telltale sign that summer vacation was nearly over.

She let that sink in...

Normally, the beginning of the school year was something to look forward to. There would be new books, new classes, new classmates. Every assignment, every test, every success would bring her another step closer to achieving her goals – graduating with honors, advancing to an ivy league college, and leaving small town life behind her, where it belonged.

But on that particular day, for the first time in as long as she could remember, Lydia was sad to see the summer come to an end.

True, it had been the strangest, most confusing one she could remember. But it was also the best summer of her life. Up until then, of course.

And it didn’t take a genius to figure out why. In fact, the reason could be summed up in one word. Stiles.

On this day in Stydia history...

Stydia’s first date...and all the ✨magic✨ that came along with and because of the moments they shared.
