It's Always Been You || Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 68 - Ouroboros

They come over to the house and we get them set up upstairs so Corey can get to work with reading the Dread Doctors book bring on those suppressed memories

After leaving them to their reading, I head into my room to change. I throw on a loose white shirt before slipping on a pair of soft olive green skinny jeans and my light denim jacket.

I'm just sliding my feet into my slip on light grey converse when I hear a knock on my door. I walk over and open the door, smiling softly at seeing Stiles standing on the other side returning with his own lopsided smile.

I open the door and signal for him to come inside with a little nod. Closing the door I turn to him and immediately push up on my toes to wrap my arms around his neck. Stiles doesn't waste a second as he wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me into him tighter and dropping his face into the crook of my neck.

After basking in his comfort for a few more moments, I take a deep breath in and pull away slightly. I move my hands into the hair at the base of his neck as he rests his hands on my hips and clears his throat "How're you holding up?"

Attempting to smile, I shrug "Honestly?"

"Best not be lying to me woman" Stiles quips, succeeding in his attempt at making me laugh before I chew on the side of my lip and tears well in my eyes as I mutter barely above a whisper "I'm terrified Sti"

Stiles increases his hold my hips as he states reassuringly "Hey– we're going to find them."

I nod with his words, dropping my eyes down between us earning Stiles to lift his hand and set his fingers under my chin.

He moves my head up, licking his lips as he connects his eyes with mine "Adds, I promise– we're going to get him back"

I close my eyes with his promise, a few tears falling with the action and Stiles reaches up to wipe them away with his thumbs as he rests his hands on the sides of my face.

He drops his head forward, resting his forehead on mine before I lift my head upwards and connect our lips in a soft kiss that I try to push all of my gratitude towards him with. Stiles rubs his thumbs against my skin, returning the kiss just as softly.

My phone buzzes on the dresser next to us and we pull apart slightly. Stiles lifts the corners of his mouth before he kisses my forehead, drawing a smile from me as I sniffle and shift closer to hug his middle.

I keep the side of my head resting on his chest as I reach over and look at the screen to see a message from Lydia that she's here.

Lydia, Malia, Theo, Stiles and I are downstairs when Scott walks in from the side door in the kitchen, determined look all over his face as he strides through the room towards us.

"Hey, is Kira okay?" Stiles is quick to ask once we see Scott, however he just walks past us quickly heading for the stairs without saying a word.

We all share a confused look and I don't hesitate to move my steps hastily right behind him as we climb the stairs.

Scott is on a mission towards his room where Mason and Corey are and when we reach the top of the stairs I look behind me, sharing a look with Stiles who is right on my tail before we follow Scott even quicker.

We hear Corey mutter through his embarrassment "Sorry, I'm only on chapter two... I'm kind of a slow reader."

"Oh, that's okay, Corey." Mason's reply to make him feel better is heard next as Scott walks through the doorway with his own interruption "He's right– we don't have time for that anyway."
