When: August 5th ( evening )
Rating: R? Maybe? He's sixteen so who knows what's going to come out of his mouth.
Characters: Stilinski Jr. & you !
Summary: Sometimes you just have to get really, really wasted to deal with your teenage angst.

[ There are a lot of things you can get in the Underground if you just ask. Stiles has sheer dumb courage on his side ( and a winning personality ) and it's not that hard to walk out with a brand spanking new fake id. Objectively he knows he should have told Scott but he half figures his bestie will be busy making sure his mom settles in and anyway, the memory up on the network still stings.

So he tries the places they don't recognize him, carts his bottle in a backpack to the quietest part of Xanadu and gets steadily drunker. It's not hard to do. He's not really a big drinker beyond the occasional pilfered bottle of his dad's not insignificant collection. And it's not long before he's using his bag as a pillow and humming some idle pop song as he's sprawled across the grass.

He feels better, that's a plus, right? ]

Alcohol makes a lot of things funnier than they actually are. And speaking of, I should probably confiscate that and think about getting you home.

[ He stresses on the probably and doesn't actually make to move. He's missed talking to the kid. ]

[studmuffin]

No.

[ Whine. ] I like it.

[bettercallit]

[ He may or may not chuckle at that. ]

Yeah, you did good picking the spot. If you lost the ability to walk and collapsed here randomly, I'm thinking it's better we pretend otherwise.

[studmuffin]

I came here. This is my alcohol spot.

[bettercallit]

Wait, how often do you come out here drinking? [ He has no intention of ruining a teenager's fun, but he should probably at least make sure it's nothing to worry about. Right? ]

[studmuffin]

Hey, no. Like twice, maybe three times?

[ His dad has a problem, Stiles doesn't want to end up like that. ]

[bettercallit]

Okay, good to know. Make sure that's all it is, yeah?

[ Because he too knows the damage it can do. ]

So, Scott's mom is hot.

[studmuffin]

[ He reaches out and thumps Clint in the side. ] Not cool.

[bettercallit]

[ That merely earns him a grin. ]

Doesn't make it any less true. But don't worry, I've got no intention of doing more than admiring from afar.

[studmuffin]

Scott would eat you, bro.

[bettercallit]

It's one way to react. Does he eat people a lot?

[studmuffin]

Only those who go near his mom. [ Not really, but Stiles has got Scott's back, yo. ]

[bettercallit]

[ He respects the loyalty, it's hard to come by. ] Considered me warned off. If it ever comes up, I'll let Scott know you were awesome in defending his mother's honour.

[studmuffin]

"Yeah."

He goes quiet for a moment. If things had turned out differently, he might have been able to defend his own mother's honour.

[bettercallit]

[ Watching him quietly, and then: ] What's that look?

[studmuffin]

There's no look.

[bettercallit]

There was definitely a look. [ But he's letting it drop. ]

You still living out in the woods with that grumpy guy?

[studmuffin]

Derek. [ A small grin. ] Yeah. Why? You jealous?

[bettercallit]

[ A soft chuckle. ] Should I be? [ The guy himself? Not the friendliest. But the body? He'd love to get his hands on that. ]

[studmuffin]

That you don't have my charming person around all the time? Yes.

[bettercallit]

He's capable of being charming? You need to record that and show it to me or I'm not gonna believe it.

[studmuffin]

Hey, I meant me, asshole.

[bettercallit]

Oh, well, sure. The guy's got good taste, I'll give him that. And speaking of, you should come over more. It's been empty around the place since the other Tasha left, and I now officially have consoles.

[studmuffin]

Why didn't you tell me about the videogames sooner? I'm so there.

[bettercallit]

Should've known that's all it'd take to entice you around.
