“mm yeah, i remember,” kira let out a soft laugh. considering it was just about the sweetest thing anyone had done for her and simultaneously the most terrifying night of her life, it wasn’t something she’d easily forget. her heart warmed at the thought of scott, miles away yet so familiar in all his need to help others, his need to make sure everyone was okay. it was one of the things that drew her to him that first day, the softness of his smile, the warmth of his being. it was like she knew him for years before they had ever spoken much more than a few (painfully awkward on her behalf) words. knew him from the core just by the tilt of his smile.
“so when you say along the same lines, are you talking star wars too? because you forgot a crucial component last time,” she teased, fingers tugging idly at the loose strings on the seam of her worn jeans.
He’d missed that laugh. He wished he was there to see her laughing now. Though if he were wishing for things, he’d actually prefer for her to be back with them; with him. it felt like too long since he’d heard her laugh. It was too long.
“Hey!” he said with a laugh, pretending to be offended, “you’re the one who turned the movie off!” he teased her back and looked over at the picture he had of her on his dresser. Rolling over on his bed to take it down, he lay on his side to look at her while they spoke. “I was thinking more just a romantic night in, or something. Star Wars can wait until we can all watch it together.”
Stiles would definitely appreciate that.
“yeah, yeah. i’m sure you didn’t mind anyway,” kira’s smile couldn’t possibly get any wider but it felt like it was managing to do so anyway at the sound of scott’s laughter. she cleared her throat, pursing her lips a little in an attempt to keep from bursting at the seams. it was hard not to smile with scott around.
“it’s so lonely out here, you know? i train all day, the sun goes down and all i can think about is how if i were home, if i were with you right now we’d be happy. watching a movie, studying like normal teenagers, i don’t know.”
kira took a long breath, shifting with the phone still pressed to her ear so that she could lay down amongst her blankets.
He closed his eyes as he listened to her and let her picture rest down on his stomach. “I definitely didn’t mind the kissing,” he admitted, still smiling. “The kissing was definitely better than Star Wars,”
“---Don’t tell Stiles I said that.”
How was it that he couldn’t stop smiling? It wasn’t the right question. He knew why. It was just-- Kira. She could always make him smile. She always had. Even in times he thought he’d never smile again, or never want to.
He toyed with the edge of the frame, wishing more than anything that she wasn’t alone over there.. “I don’t think anybody could ever call you normal, Kir. In the best way.” Thinking about her being home though, of them tucked away in bed listening to music and watching movies, studying and holding hands, quizzing each other about the most random things; made his heart throb and ache with longing.
“Hey, what if we listened to some music together now?” he asked, eyes opening as the idea came to his head. “We’ll listen to the same song and press play at the same time.”
