Dear Rabbit: A Collection Of AUs and Prompts

AU: Stormy Night

Submitted by anon on tumblr: 'I don't know who you are, how you got here or why you're stood on my porch in the rain but get the hell inside before you catch hypothermia!' - could you do a Dear Rabbit au with that? (Chile)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was really really cold out here. I wasn't entirely sure where I was or what was going on all I knew was that it was cold and it was incredibly wet and I'm pretty sure I was lost. I'd run out after a fight with my roommate which on second thought wasn't a good idea at all.

"Hey! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I looked up at the voice that yelled out, stood in the doorway of a house was young man, he came walking out the house in nothing but a shirt and some sweat pants and I wanted to tell him to get back inside before he got all wet and cold...

"No...I...no..." I didn't think I was hurt...I mean I was upset and I was cold, but I wasn't hurt. The man took me gently by the warm and started leading me towards the warm light coming from the house. His house I presumed.

"C'mon, lets get you inside before you catch hypothermia..." I let the young man guide me inside and out of the rain and cold and up a set of stairs, before watching him search about in a set of drawers.

He pulled out a bundle of clothing before ushering me towards a new room, a bathroom. "Have a warm shower and get dressed, if you need me i'll be downstairs..."

"Charlotte." I offered my name, shivering heavily as I held the clothes out and far enough away from me so that they wouldn't get damp as well. I couldn't help, but be amazed by the extraordinary kindness I was receiving.

"Stiles..." The stranger offered, it was calming to have a name even if my mother would be screaming about me entering a strangers home in the middle of the night...

"Thank you...for the help..." Stiles smiled at me from the doorway, rubbing a hand against the back of his neck carefully. "It's fine...I couldn't just leave you out there, it's the coldest night of the year!" I hadn't know that...the coldest night of the year? Really? What luck I seemed to have...

I watched him leaving before closing and locking the door. The warm shower was one of the best feelings i'd experienced in a long while, my limbs stopped shivering and the warmth returned to me. It felt amazing as did getting into a bunch of dry, soft clothes.

I padded my way down the stairs, peering around a corner to find Stiles sat on a kitchen table two mugs in front of him. Hearing my feet he turned to me smiling softly before pointing at a mug. "I made hot chocolate..."

I slid into the seat in front of him, grasping the hot mug between my hands "Thank you, you really didn't have to do all this..." The hot chocolate was delicious and spread warmth further throughout me. I was incredibly thankful for all the help Stiles had given me, a complete stranger.

"Why were you wandering about in a downpour?" I put down the mug...and turned my eyes to him, pushing my glasses up my nose.

"I had a...falling out with my roommate...she may have kicked me out for the evening..." The falling out had been over her bringing back multiple people to the room every night so she could get her rocks off. I'd told her I was fed up of being thrown out at odd hours and she'd literally thrown me out...it had been an uncomfortable experience to say the least.

"Christ...you need a new roommate!" He appeared horrified that she'd kicked me out on tonight of all nights and I had to agree with him. I couldn't have gotten a worse roommate if I tried!

"You're telling me..." I finished off the mug and rested my head against my hand tiredly. Stiles was, now that I looked at him, not only a kind man, but a somewhat attractive one...I felt like i'd seen him before and maybe I had in passing...

"Well I guess that's settled then, you're staying here tonight!"

"Oh no! I couldn't!" I had already taken more than enough from him, I could easily walk to a nearby motel and get a room for the night instead! I certainly didn't want to bother him!

"You can and you will, have you had any dinner tonight?"

"No..." I reluctantly answered, my eyes following him from my seat as he stood up from his place at the table and walked towards his fridge...this was too much honestly, he was way too kind and I couldn't help but feel slightly guilty for bothering him so much!

"Dinner it is, sit tight..." He began grabbing all sorts of foods and putting them on the side. Nobody had cooked for me or gone through all this trouble since I started University some many years ago...I was hopelessly stuck between admiration and guilt.

"Really! You don't have to do this! Let me help!"

"Nope, you are going to sit there and get better from your little stroll into a storm." I disagreed that it was a storm it was anything, but...well I didn't think it was that bad at least. But Stiles seemed to completely disagree.

"Bu-" One look from him and I shut up...he very obviously wanted me to rest, not that I felt I needed to...after getting warm against I felt relatively fine. I felt horrible for taking up so much of his space and time...he really didn't need to do this...

Dinner despite feeling guilty was lovely and I soon found myself being tucked into a bed and told to rest...I had found myself comforted by his presence, despite all reservations...I quite liked it here.
