the sidekick

Stiles liked to think he was more that the packs sarcastic sidekick.
But most of the time it sure didn't feel that way.

The pack saw him as... weak. Stiles didn't really know. The pack saw him as a assessment. Their own supernatural google expert but absolutely useless as soon it got physical. He didn't have claws, magic eyes, or an unusual amount of facial hair. Just a mouth that ran fast and a brain that ran even faster.

So in return he didn't really share his life outside the pack with them. The life outside the supernatural. Outside risking your life everyday. Not that the pack even thought he had a life outside them.

He didn't tell about the life that once started as a lousy dream in a dusty garage, an old keyboard, a busted mic, a guitar and four kids that didn't fit anywhere else.

«Dude! You can't just bail on us!» Scott shrieked. «This is important, you know how Derek gets» Scott looks at him desperately but Stiles just rolls his eyes.

«Scott, have you ever considered that maybe? Just maybe something important is happening in my life as well. I have plans. I told you.» Stiles tells Scott, already over the conversation.

«You didn't tell anyone you had plans! And what type of plans could you have anyway? All of the pack is going to Derek's?» Stiles slams his gym locker shut and picks up his duffelbag, almost glaring at Scott.

«Doesn't mean I didn't have them.» Stiles deadpans. «Besides not everything I do revolves around the pack.» Stiles feels the urge to throw something at Scott when he sees him looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

«I said no Scott» Stiles says and Scott sighs and stops with the eyes and puts up his hands.

«Ok, yeah fine, but it's your funeral dude.» Scott says and turns away and leaves.

By the time Stiles gets to the city and slips in through the backdoor of «the hideaway» one of Beacon Hills local pubs, Lucy is already there setting up the mic.

«Hey Luce» she turns around. «Oh hey Sti!» she smiles at him as Luca and Mary walks in the doors arriving early to wish them good luck and to set up their own things.

Stiles jogs over to Mary and gives her a kiss. She giggles and backs away from him. But get a serious expression when she sees his stressed expression and can tell her boyfriend has been angry.

«You ok?» she asks him.

«I am now» he says with a grin and suddenly turning his nose and hair into her neck tickling her as she giggles.

At the loft:

«I don't get it Scott, Stiles said he has plans?» Lydia asks Scott after a while at the loft, putting up quotation marks with her hand around the word «plans».

«What do you mean plans Scott? With who?» Derek asks clearly annoyed by Stiles' absence.

«I don't know! I didn't even know he had friends outside the pack!» Scott says confused.

«Then he must be lying» Malia suddenly added to the conversation.

«Why would he lie Malia?» Lydia rolls her eyes. «I don't know but do you have a better explanation?» Malia asks Lydia and Lydia just stares at her and doesn't say anything else.
