WIP Whenever
The absolutely wonderful @beaconfeels tagged me to do a WIP Whenever. It's been a while since I've done one of these but I've got several things I've been working on lately that I'm excited about. I decided to share part of the Sterek Twilight AU/fusion that I'm currently 12.5k into.
[Also, I know Isaac isn't blond, but I forgot that until after I'd written this scene and it works for the story so I'm keeping it. Just roll with it. Isaac has dirty blond hair now.]
“Who are they?” Stiles blurts out before he can stop himself, unable to drag his eyes away. He doesn’t care that he’s apparently cut off a stream of conscious thought from Kira regarding her math teacher, Mr. Morris. Nor does she, it seems. She blinks in surprise before following his gaze across the cafeteria, and realisation flows over her face. “Ah, those are the Hales,” Kira says. “Well, they’re not all Hales, really only two of them are, but Mr and Mrs Hale have adopted the other two and they’re all together so often that everyone just refers to them collectively as ‘the Hales’.” Hale. Stiles vaguely remembers that name. Thinks his dad may have mentioned it when he was little, may have even met the Missus a time or two at the station. She’d been Mayor, he thinks, or at least deeply involved in the Mayor’s office and Town Hall. He doesn’t remember going to school with any of her kids, however. “You might remember the two blonds,” Scott murmurs in his ear. “They were in our grade, along with the big guy, though he was in a different class. The guy with the curly blond hair is Isaac Lahey, and the blonde with her back to use is Erica Reyes. Her boyfriend, Vernon-Boyd-but-just-call-him-Boyd, is sitting next to her. Sitting across from them with Isaac are Cora and Derek Hale. The first four are all in our grade, but Derek’s a senior. The Hales were homeschooled until high school, so it’s not surprising you don’t recognise them.” Vaguely familiar names, but not ones he’d ever have been able to come up with on his own. Reading the lack of recognition on his face, Lydia huffs a laugh and turns her nose up. “I’m not surprised you don’t remember them. They were loners and nobodies until they fell in the with Hales and suddenly had their massive glow-ups.” There’s a certain level of bitterness hidden in her words, and Stiles wonders if she feels threatened by the other girls. She seems the type to care about being the prettiest in the room, and Erica could certainly give her a run for her money. If Erica had indeed gone from a nobody to the blonde bombshell sitting across the room, he could see how a queen bee personality like Lydia wouldn’t like that. “Are they all models or something now?” Stiles mutters, still staring. “That amount of pretty should not be allowed to exist in such close proximity. My poor little bisexual heart can’t take it.” As if he’d heard his words from across the cafeteria, the lanky blond with the curls — Lahey, he remembers — glances up, meeting Stiles’s eyes before they flick away again. He whispers something in the Hale girl's ear where she's sitting under his arm. In that brief flash of eye contact, Stiles had seen glittering amusement, a small smirk curling up his lips that had Stiles wanting to scowl at him. The Hale girl also smirks, but she’s looking at her brother next to her. Lydia snorts. “Don’t bother. They’re all together — like, together together. Boyd and Reyes, Lahey and Hale. I honestly don’t know how those two get away with it — even if the Hales haven’t formally adopted him, they have some form of legal guardianship over him. Reyes, at least, still formally lives with her own parents, even if she is practically glued to their sides.” “Freaks,” Jackson mutters under his breath, one arm across the back of Lydia’s chair while he fiddles with the cap of his water bottle. Stiles absorbs this, but gets caught on the omission. “And Mr Tall Dark and Broody? What’s his problem?” Stiles can’t help but ask, eyeing the guy warily. Hot, unbearably hot, but the biggest case of Angry Eyebrows Stiles has ever seen. Even as he watches, the guy is grinding his teeth hard enough to look like it hurts. “He’s looking at that table like it personally killed his mother.”
