Author's Note: So this was supposed to be a Christmas present, then a birthday present, clearly I fail at ALL the writing. Anyway, illfindmyway has had a rough few days and I thought I’d post the beginning of this. Hopefully I’ll finish it up in the next few days, but stubborn boys are stubborn. Love you darlin’! And thanks to irishjeeper who checked this over a bit and caught some of my stupidity.
By the time Stiles got home that night, he was exhausted. After dinner, he’d taken Melinda May over to the Argents’ house so Chris and Victoria could spend some time with their granddaughter. Scott had called while they were there and asked if he was willing to drop the little girl off with Melissa. So he’d had to drive all the way out of town. Even though he hadn’t minded, it meant a long day for him. Still he turned his computer on and logged into instant messaging, hoping W0lfm3n25 would be online.
Did your sister complain that you haven’t moved from your chair? he typed when he saw the window open.
I moved from my chair, came the immediate answer. My messenger comes up on my phone, too.
That’s good to know. Stiles dropped onto his couch as he answered, sprawling out and kicking his sneakers off.
How was the rest of your evening?
Had dinner with my dad & my Gdaughter, Stiles answered. I can’t believe how big she’s getting. Seems like she was just born yesterday and we lost A.
Nothing exciting?
Hey, house wolf, that IS exciting. Highlight of my week after talking to you, Stiles retorted.
I’m glad I rank higher than a four year old.
You tie w/ her. I can pick her up & hug her & snuggle w/ her. Stiles slapped himself in the head when he realized what he’d sent. Aaaand I totally did not mean that the way it sounded.
Oh?
I’m going to bed now, Stiles typed.
Not going to explain?
Nope. Not at all. Absolutely not, Stiles typed rapidly. And I have to be up early. Got a big order coming in. Logging off, he closed his computer and headed for his bedroom. He really hoped W0lfm3n25 would forget his slip up by the next time they spoke.
“Myth and Mystics,” Stiles answered, tucking the shop phone in the crook of his shoulder. “How can I help you?”
“Hey, Stiles, it’s Laura.”
“Laura. How’s my favorite Hale today?”
“I’ve been better. I need a favor.”
“Yeah. Of course. What’s up?”
“I can’t get out. And Isaac is away. Derek is coming to pick up his books. Could you not make a big deal out of it? One of these books is one he has to have this week so he can’t wait until I heal.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’ll be fine. Just had a run in with a rogue alpha so it’s taking a bit longer to heal than usual.”
Stiles nodded. “Yeah. As long as you’re okay. Is Derek really getting out of the house?”
“That’s the plan. We’ll see if he goes through with it.”
“I can always…” Stiles glanced at his computer where there was an open window, but no response so he figured his online buddy was busy. “I can drop the books off this evening after the shop closes.”
From the other end of the phone came a muffled discussion, then another voice came over the line, “I can do it.”
“Hey, Derek.” Stiles tried not to let his surprise show in his voice. He’d talked to Laura’s twin a few times over the years, but he knew the younger Hale twin didn’t often leave the perceived safety of their house since the death of their family.
“Hi, Stiles. I’ll come when you’re not busy.”
“Okay. You’re best bet is to come after three then.”
“I’ll see you then.” Derek hung up.
Stiles set the phone down, then did a little dance, throwing his hands into the air. Spinning around, he typed into the instant messaging, I’m getting a very special visitor today.
While he waited for a reply, Stiles made sure the order was ready for Derek and tidied up some of the books that had been disturbed by browsing customers.
Finally his computer chimed a reply. Is your goddaughter coming to visit?
Nope. :-) I have a VERY important customer coming in!
I thought all your customers were important.
*rolls eyes* They are. But this one is extra special because he normally sends his sister to pick up his books.
So you’re eager to see the recluse?
No. Well. Yes, but not the way you’re thinking. He’s… special. He’s… he doesn’t get out much. And I’m glad he chose to come see me. And that he wants to come see me. *shrug* Even if it’s just to pick up books.
I’m glad you’re happy about it, came the reply after so long that Stiles thought W0lfm3n25 had signed off.
But you aren’t sure why, Stiles fired back immediately.
What have we said about you putting words in my mouth?
Stiles looked up as the bell rang, drawing his attention away from the conversation he’d been carrying on over the computer. “Welcome to Myth and Mystics,” he greeted the young couple.
The man nodded while the woman headed towards the back of the store and the section where Stiles had established to explain the name of his store. Not many people could find their way to the corner, even though there weren’t any real blocks. Stiles had put a small don’t see me spell on the corner, but anyone truly determined could find it. Most of the rest of the store was normal books that everyone in town might be interested in.
By the time he got back to the computer (having finished with the customers), W0lfm3n25 had signed off. Stiles shrugged to himself, not really surprised. The other man was on intermittently during the day although sometimes he’d talk or lurk for hours. Other times, he’d disappear for days. Stiles had gotten used to it and learned not to ask when he’d be around.
