@honeythrone said “you gotta trust.” / pairing: lydia & scott
she knows that scott is trying to help. an old version of her bubbles under the surface; the version that would have had some retort about being independent because if she said it enough maybe she’d believe that she didn’t feel like she needed the approval of other people. there’s an old part of her that heals knowing that she does have people now that she can rely on her; people that share her grief and understand her better than maybe anyone has. scott helped her on this journey more than anyone, and for that she swallows any rude comment she once might have said. she still feels like she needs to do things on her own, afraid of what people will think if they realize that her family lost their money. it seems a stupid thing to worry about when you’re aware of the supernatural, but lydia has always been aware that money, or lack thereof, came at a cost.
she rubs at sleep-deprived eyes. she might not be waking in the middle of the night anymore, but she still felt helpless to her powers. she can come up with her own theories of mathematics, but even those feel rooted in reality. being a banshee felt like a cruel twist of fate, forcing her to live in the ambiguous instead of scientific fact. everyone around her had abilities that they understood, were visible to them; she was left trying to decipher what was reality and what was a vision of sorts. with a sigh, she looks up at scott. “i’ve never been good at that.” the admission is vulnerable, one she wouldn’t have been able to say the previous year. scott likely knew this about her already. she hid who she truly was because she didn’t trust the people around her to love and support her, believed that popularity came at a price that she had to fake. she wants to say again that no amount of trusting can help her figure out her powers, but reels it in for “i don’t know what i’m doing, and there’s no one i can trust to guide me through it.” scott had derek, in his own way. malia had scott. liam would. lydia had no one. “i couldn’t even save allison.”
