Unexpected

FIFTY-THREE

Chapter Fifty-Three
Benefactor

"'We're brothers now'? Seriously?" I asked, laughing slightly before biting into the burger that my dad brought me earlier, it was so good. My boyfriend had tried to give Liam the talk, but he just ended up saying a bunch of cliche and, quite frankly, weird things to the young boy. Scott looked at me with a shrug, "what else was I supposed to say?" 

I swallowed, "anything but that." Stiles sighed, "okay, that's not why we're here, argue later, kay?" By 'here' Stiles meant between two busses in the parking lot. It was me, Stiles, Scott, Lydia, Kira, and Malia. They were talking full moon while I enjoyed my lunch. 

"I'm not sharing my basement," Malia stated firmly as I bit into my burger again, leaning into Scott's side as I ate. Lydia sighed, "actually, it's my basement. And my mom noticed how you tore it up last time." 

Stiles scoffed slightly, "alright, she's still learning." He defended Malia, and it was cute. They're so cute together. He rubbed Malia's back comfortingly. Scotts thumb rubbed over the side of my hip while he spoke. 

"But, we're going to use the boathouse for liam. It's got support beams. We can chain him to one of them," Scott explained, to which we all nodded in agreement. Seemed like a good plan, save for one element. 

Kira spoke up with raised eyebrows, "but how do we get him out to the lake house if he doesn't trust us?" I nodded with Kira, "she's got a point." Stiles looked at me and then Kira, "I say if it keeps him from murdering someone we just chloroform the little bastard and throw him in the lake."

Malia raised her hand, "I'm in." I choked on my food slightly, falling into a fit of laughter. I could feel Scott rubbing my back and his eyes on me, probably to make sure I don't choke. "We're not killing or kidnapping him." Scott defended the kid. 

I nodded, finally sobering up, "yeah, the kidnapping thing didn't work out the first time." Lydia nodded, "then let's be smarter. We tell him there's a party and invite him." I nodded at Lydia's idea. It was smart. What freshman boy would turn down an invite to a junior party?

Stiles smirked, "so, you're going to ask out a freshman?" Lydia shook her head, "no. I'm done with teenage boys." I smiled slightly, good for her. "But, if we're playing a trick on someone... we'll have to use the trickster."

My mouth fell open and I nodded along with Lydia, all of our eyes going to Kira. Kira looked at all of us, an innocence in her dark eyes. "Who? Me?" She shook her head, "n, no way. Not me." I frowned at her nervousness. "Yes, you can do it, Kira." I reassured her with a smile which Kira's eyes softened at and she returned immediately.

Lydia tilted her head at Kira, "you know what they call a female fox? A vixen." I bit into my burger, eating the last bite as I listened. Kira is cute, and Liam doesn't have anything against her. It'd work perfectly. 

"Me?" We all looked her over, even Stiles and Malia were looking at her with a nod of their heads. Kira's hot. Liam will be all over her. "You can do it, Kira. Be a vixen."

I sat on the table in the doctor's office, Scott to my left. He was reading a pamphlet from the waiting room that he picked up on our way back. I think it was on lactation classes or something? Who knows with that boy. 

A smile pulled at my lips as I looked him over. Scott McCall was good looking, that much was obvious by looking at him. He had the face, the hair, the body, and the killer smile. But, he was so much more than that. 

Scott was a highway-- on the outside it's seemingly everything you'd expect, nothing that would surprise you or confuse you... but once you get closer and are actually driving down the road at full speed, do you notice the cracks in the concrete where grass has grown through, or the soft curves in the road that take time to turn, the dips and bumps that you didn't even realize were there.
