You don’t know what you’re doing...I never know what I’m doing. And this is somehow a good thing?

I don’t understand you at all, but look, I’m failing three classes right now and if I don’t pass them then the coach is going to put me off the team. I don’t have time to go anywhere! I want to play lacrosse next semester but I can’t do that if I can’t improve my grades because someone decided to, I don’t know, kidnap me.

Come on, I don't want to fail my classes. Lacrosse is like the only normal thing I have left.

Depending on where he puts you, you might get back at the time you left.

On one hand, kidnapping is wrong. I definitely know this for a fact, having been on both sides of that particular spectrum. It is decidedly a terrible, no good very bad thing.

On the other, if you get kidnapped with a bunch of your textbooks, well. Problem solved.

[become]

...Are you telling me the truth? Because that doesn't make any sense.

[alphabeta]

I got dragged to an island. Five months later, Stiles and Allison show up and tell me it's only been something over a month. [Shrug]


...and I tell you the truth. [Mostly. He doesn't lie. Always.]

((look the names scott and allison just go so well together))

[seared]

They say the first step is admitting your failings-- so well done there, I guess.

It's not like it's my fault. Ever since you bit me I haven't had anytime for studying - and Derek was always yelling at me whenever I tried to remind him that I have a, you know, life.

[become]

[ here, stiles, have a groan. ]

Did you have to remind me about that? I completely forgot.

[ in the grand scheme of things, Jackson's botched kidnapping seemed like a pretty minor event to remember. ]

Maybe, but I still don't want to be kidnapped, Stiles.

[become]

[ and there goes Scott's attention span. ]

Allison? Stiles? Are they okay?

[alphabeta]

[Offf course. Derek fixes Scott with a flat look.]

They're fine, so far, and I'm keeping an eye on them. [Yes, even Allison.]

[become]

[ what, he figures Derek could take care of himself - not that Allison and Stiles can't either, but, you know. ]

Really? You've never cared about Allison before.

[ plus there's the whole, she was trying to kill you thing, but Scott's at least smart enough not to bring that up. ]

[hypervigilance]

[Stiles remembers pretty damn clearly, mostly because he was the one stuck with Jackson for the entire day, which was as about as much fun as spending a day chewing glass and running into things would be, and-- well, it's kind of the exact thing that got his dad fired. Temporarily as it, thank god, was. So yeah.]

I don't think there's anyone who actually wants to be kidnapped. And if there is, then it can't be called kidnapping anyway, there's probably a whole different word for voluntary kidnapping, but right now all I can think of is the word weird, so.

[Stiles? Rambling? Whoa, that's crazy.]

And of course you wouldn't actually want to get taken anywhere, but at least if it happened, you'd totally have something to do that would not only pass the time but be extremely beneficial in the end. Silver linings, Scott, you've got to look for them.

[become]

How, though? It sounds like all of these places are just supposed to make you miserable. That doesn't really sound like fun, Stiles.

[alphabeta]

[Scott hasn't shown any interest in Derek's well being before now, and Derek doesn't expect him to start now.]

And I don't really care about Stiles either, but that doesn't mean I won't step in if something happens.

[Well his point in that game is the end of s1, so there he only knows about Allison being manipulated by Kate, as opposed to Gerard.]

You know, Scott, you might want to think about putting some effort into learning how to negotiate. It's a skill that could save your life someday.
