Stiles always gets morose around the anniversary, despite Scott telling him for the last 5 years that he doesnāt blame him for anything. Yes, it had been his idea to go and look for a dead body and yes it had led to Scott being bitten but nobody could have seen that coming and so how could Scott blame Stiles?

āYour hair is getting long.ā Scott says, twirling a strand of it around his finger absently.
Stiles looks up at him from where heās laying with his head in the wolfās lap, and raises an eyebrow. āYouāre just noticing that now?ā
āNo, I was just saying.ā Scott shrugs and continues playing with Stilesā hair, making it messier than it already was.
āYou donāt like it?ā
āI didnāt say that.ā Stiles has been growing it out for the last year. Scott thinks it makes him look both hotter and softer.
āSo you do like it?ā From this angle Stiles can watch the blush cover Scottās cheeks and spread down his throat. āYou do like it!ā A smirk slides on to his face and he sits up, turning to face Scott as he kneels on the couch beside him. āYou like me a little dishevelled and overgrown, hm?ā
Scott sighs through his nose, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them and looking at Stiles. āI like you comfortable and soft.ā
The smirk on Stilesā face melts in to a fond look. āSap.ā He accuses gently, cupping Scottās cheek and meeting his eyes to check that heās reading this right.
āYeah, but only for you.ā Scottās answering smile is soft and warm and he leans in to the gentle hand on his face. Stiles closes the distance between them, allowing his eyes to fall shut as Scottās do.
Theyāre both smiling a bit too much for it to be much more than a press of their lips, but itās perfect. Stilesā thumb gently traces the stubble on Scottās adorable uneven jaw. Scottās hands settle on his hips. Stiles pulls back and opens his eyes so he can watch Scott do the same, blinking adorably as the flush returns to his cheeks. Stiles wants to keep him forever.
Spoiler alert: he does.

See you soon, Sciles Enthusiasts!
Itās not dark any more. Itās the first thing Scott notices, and now heās thought about it the place - he would say room, but he isnāt sure thatās what it is - fills with a light so bright his eyes hurt. This makes him aware that he has eyes, and that he can screw them shut to block out the light.
In what feels like a second, but could be ten minutes, the light dims and he cautiously opens his eyes.
Scott isnāt at all surprised to find himself in the Reserve, staring at the Nemeton. It looks the same as it always has; the scarred trunk of what was once a massive tree, roots still spreading in all directions. He knows on some level that this isnāt real. He knows that heās dead; that his body is lying in the school library bleeding still, but this feels real enough. When he stretches out his hand the surface of the wood is rough beneath his palm.
āItās not real.ā The voice comes from behind him. A voice so familiar his heart clenches painfully, even though itās been years since heās heard it. He doesnāt turn around for a moment, unsure if he wants to look.
āI know.ā Scott turns slowly in place, a jumble of emotions rushing through him as his eyes take in Allison. She looks almost exactly the way she did when she died; brown hair loose and wavy, green jacket, pink dress and black tights leading down to her boots. Thereās a bow and quiver slung over her back and archery gloves on her hands. She smiles sadly at him, Scott can see tears in her eyes.
āYouāre not supposed to be here.ā Allison takes a step towards him, her hand twitching up as if to reach for him but falling before she can.
āNeither are you.ā If he hadnāt known he was dead, this wouldāve convinced him. Scott takes a step towards her, reaches his hand out to touch her cheek. She feels solid, warm. Alive. A tear spills over, he wipes it away with his thumb. āIām so sorry.ā He feels tears fill his own eyes.
āIt wasnāt your fault.ā A shake of her head causes another tear to spill over. She covers his hand with her own where it rests on her cheek. Closes her eyes for a moment. Pulls his hand away from her face, tugs him over to sit on the stump side by side. āYou shouldnāt be here.ā She says again. āItās not your time.ā
Scott doesnāt know what to say to that. It wasnāt hers either. He looks around again, noting that the part of the Preserve theyāre in disappears in to mist about ten feet away in every direction. āHave you been here all this time?ā He asks. It makes sense, that the Nemeton would keep a part of them even after death. They gave their lives to it.
āNo, I donāt think so.ā Sheās holding his hand in both of hers, staring down at it like she expects it to disappear. āIām not sure if I was somewhere else, or nowhere at all. But I havenāt been here.ā
Scott nods, like that makes sense to him. Heās not sure he ever really believed there was anything after life, but itās a nice thought. āWhat happens now?ā
āYou have to go back.ā
āHow?ā He doesnāt ask why. He knows why. There is more work to be done. He could rant and rave about how unfair it all is, how heās only a teenager and shouldnāt have to deal with it all, but it isnāt his way. It would be nice to stay here, with Allison, but there are people back home who need him. Mom, Stilesā¦Kira.
āI donāt know. But you donāt belong here, canāt you feel it?ā Thereās a resigned sadness in Alisonās voice, like she too had thought about him staying but knows he canāt.
āI donāt-ā he begins, but heās interrupted by a whisper of his name that echoes through the trees. āDid you hear that?ā
Allison nods, her fingers squeezing his briefly. āThatās your cue, I suppose.ā Someone calls again, louder this time. It sounds like his mom.
āScott!ā
āI donāt want to go.ā Scott feels like a weight is crushing his chest, forcing the breath out of him. Thereās blood in his mouth, covering his chest and he chokes on a pained sob. āAllison!ā Sheās suddenly ten feet away, still sitting on the stump of the Nemeton. He reaches for her and she stands, runs over to him where he lies on the floor and drops to her knees beside him. Cradles his head on her knees, presses a kiss to his cheek. āYou have to live, Scott.ā Scott grips her hand, but she feels less real now, colder. āItās ok.ā
āCome on Scott, roar!ā
Suddenly heās back in his body and he does. The sound is full of pain and anguish, it feels like itās being pulled from him rather than something heās doing by choice. When itās over he lies panting on the floor and his mom pulls him to her, cradling him in her arms. āI thought Iād lost you.ā
Scott takes several deep breaths, hiding his tears against his momās neck. āBut you brought me back.ā Thereās a little bitterness in his voice, but nobody mentions it. Thereās no time for that, he still has work to do.
āThis is a terrible idea.ā Stiles tells him, pulling a face that shows just how much of a terrible idea he thinks it is. Scott offers him a grin in return, the sun behind him making it seem as if he has a halo. Stiles thinks he should have horns instead.
āIt was your idea.ā Scott replies. Cheeky bastard.
āThatās irrelevant. Not all of my ideas are good ones.ā Theyāre standing right on the edge of the cliff, looking down into the crystal clear waters below. Stilesā stomach gives a lurch and his toes curl against the rock heās standing on as if the grip will stop him from falling.
āWeāll be fine. Iām right here.ā Scott extends his hand, wiggling his fingers in invitation. āDo you trust me?ā
Stiles doesnāt hesitate, just threads his pale fingers with Scottās and holds on for dear life. āYou know that I do.ā It doesnāt make him want to leap off this damned cliff any more, though.
āDonāt look down. Look at me.ā Scottās face is doing that thing where he wants to smile but is trying not to, he wants to appear serious and reassuring. Stiles hates that it works. āOn the count of three. Ready? One,ā Stiles takes a deep breath, āTwo,ā Scottās fingers tighten around his own as he tenses, ready to jump. Stilesā heart is in his throat. He fights the urge to close his eyes.
āThree!ā In sync, as they always are, they jump. The air whips around them, stealing the breath from Stilesā lungs as they plunge towards the sea. Scottās hand is tight in his, he doesnāt let go even as they hit the water and it rushes up his nose. Stiles makes the mistake of trying to open his eyes underwater, but everything is dark and the salt stings his eyes.
He feels something tugging at his hand, then water rushing past as heās dragged upwards, and finally he surfaces, coughing and spluttering. Scott still has hold of his hand, heās grinning madly and his hair is plastered over his forehead at strange angles. Stiles wants to smack him, but he feels an answering smile pull at his face. āWeāre never doing that again.ā He insists, treading water to remain afloat. Scottās smile doesnāt even falter, like he knows Stiles would follow him off the edge of the Earth if he asked. Heās not wrong.
Heās still holding Stilesā hand when they emerge from the water a few minutes later, and he doesnāt let go. Stiles thinks maybe leaping off the cliff was worth it.
Sciles song of the day.
