What: The two love birds are hanging out.
Status: Incomplete

There was no way in hell Stiles was hanging out in their place again. He was tired of staying inside. Plus, nobody knew how long this winter wonderland was going to stick around. So, they might as well have some fun in it before it all went away. Which is why he had decided to drag Lydia out. He wasn't too sure if she'd have fun or not. Especially after she expressed over the net that she was tired of the cold. He'll just have to warm her up later if she gets too cold while being out today.

"Is there anything that you want to do?" he asked with a glance over at Lydia. He really hadn't planned anything out. This was more of a spontaneous thing. But if there was something that Lydia actually wanted to do, then they could do it.

In the choice between staying in the cabin and going outside, there were no winners in Lydia's mind. One was cold and the other was boring. At least she could solve the problems of one with the other. After bundling up in layers, she was out crunched through the snow with a hold on Stiles' arm to keep from slipping.

"We could go skating?" She liked the freedom of gliding along the ice, and it would be an exercise that hopefully would keep her warmed up. "Or sledding if you're scared of falling."

Stiles wasn't going to let Lydia fall. He made sure to hold her close and to be as careful as he possibly could as they walked along in the snow. If either one of them lost their balance, they were both probably going to be eating snow.

"I am not scared of falling," he told her. "I think you're thinking of Scott. He's the one who can't ice skate very well." Stiles wasn't so bad at it. He managed to only fall once the last time they had all gone ice skating. Maybe this time he could go for not falling at all. "We could always sled after if we still have any energy left."

"I think I'm thinking about goading you into proving you won't fall so that we will definitely be going ice skating. Besides, it's been a while. Maybe Scott's gotten better." A lot had happened since then. He wouldn't be trying to impress Allison, either.

"Is there anything you want to do? We're reaching the limits of our time here. We could wake up in a different place tomorrow, speak now or forever hold your peace." Which the two of them already had done that morning. She'd had a brief moment of panic that she wasn't in his bed anymore because he wasn't there to have a bed, but it had been shortlived.

"Ooh, well now we have to go ice skating so that I can prove to you that I can stay upright the entire time." Yep, they were definitely going ice skating. "I somehow doubt that. Maybe we should drag Scott and Cora ice skating sometime."

Was there anything that he wanted to do? He had to think about it for a moment. "I have always wanted to try snowboarding. I would probably end up on the ground more than on the board, though."

Grinning, Lydia rose up to press a quick kiss to his cheek. That had been exactly what she'd hoped he'd say. "A lot's changed since then. I hope Goodland lets us see the lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Center, with the ice rink. That'd be the perfect opportunity to take them skating." And something she really wanted to do, suddenly. Christmas in New York might just be magical enough to make up for some of the worst parts of this place.

"That's why you start slow. We should try that after skating." And by 'we', she meant him... but she'd cheer him on! She liked her ankles not snapped.

A happy Lydia is what he liked to see. And getting kisses out of it wasn't bad either. "Ooh yeah, we would actually get to see that in person unless we end up in another location." He really hadn't even thought about any of that until Lydia brought it up. "We're doing that. Tree and then ice skating there. Should we mark it on a calendar?"

"Practice makes perfect and whatnot." He knew he would need a ton of practice if he actually liked doing it. "When you say we do you really mean we or me?" He wasn't quite sure if Lydia would actually want to try it out. Although, knowing her, she'd probably just watch him make a fool out of himself.

"If we end up in another location, it had better be worth it." Not another maze or some other new nightmare. She couldn't think of many places that would be worth missing it, though. "If we mark it on a calendar, we might be away during it. I'll remember. We could get something to eat while we walk around and see the window displays, too." It could be a fun evening with the four of them, if Cora and Scott agreed to go.

She gave him a look that said he already knew the answer to that question. "You. I can supervise. Or perfect my snow angels."

"Like what? Hawaii or something like it?" He just hoped wherever they ended up next or whatever was coming next wasn't horrible. The evil maze had taken a lot out of them all. A string of nice things would be good. But he doubted this was how it worked. At least, so far by what he's gathered. The good things don't always stay good. there is always something annoying or evil tossed in just to screw with them all. "This is starting to sound like a double date. Is that what we're angling for? I mean, I wouldn't say no to it. Scott can get all the help he can get." Yes, even when Scott wasn't around, he was making fun of him. That's what best friends were for.

That look already told him what he needed to know long before she even said it. "I knew it. Are you sure you don't want to try with me?" He had to ask. "Do I get to supervise the snow angels?"

"Hawaii wouldn't be better, but it could try I guess." She was pale and burned in the sun. The beach days had been fun, but definitely not her favorite so far. But a beach would be infinitely better than a frog or nightmare-creatures. They should get a break for the holidays, in her opinion. "I don't think we should call it a double date, even if it ends up one. It's a group hang-out. Otherwise, Scott'll get caught up in his own head and mess things up, and I want it to be fun and relaxing." Yup, she definitely had a vision for the evening already, which just meant it would all go wrong and leave her disappointed.

"Am I sure I don't want my legs strapped to a board in public and unable to move independently? Yea, I'm sure. You can help me get out so they don't have footprints messing them up, and you can tell me I'm a snow angel." She beamed up at him, crinkling her nose a bit playfully.

"Where would you want to end up?" He had to ask. "Right." Of course, she was right. He hadn't even really thought about that. But she wasn't wrong. Scott would do exactly what she had said, so they definitely needed to just keep it as the four of them just hanging out. "This is why I keep you around. I still get to tease him, though, right? Because that's fun to me." he flashed a quick smirk to Lydia. "Oh yeah, Scott gave me a villain name the other day." The whole thing was funny to him and he wanted to include Lydia in their lameness.

"That's what makes it fun?" Nope, she wasn't buying it. He was doing it alone. "I can do that. I don't know about the snow angel part, though." He tried not to smile. But it really was hard not to. "Love ya," he pulled her close and gave her a quick kiss on top of her head. "Oh, look, we're here." It was time to get their skate on.

Home was a lame answer, but it was the first one she thought of and then anything else wasn't really the truth. So she settled on a different truth. "I don't care that much as long as you guys are there. Is Hawaii your ultimate good trip?" The only times Scott and Stiles didn't tease each other were when things were seriously bad, so an outing where they didn't wouldn't be fun and relaxing at all, even if everything else about it was normal. "Of course you can. Why are you a villain? And what's the name?"

Grinning into his coat, Lydia gave Stiles a squeeze. "Love you, too." Pulling back, she caught his hand in hers and headed toward the racks of skates, picking out a pair in her size and sitting at the bench to lace them on.

"Really? There isn't one place you have always wished you could visit? Fictional places count too," he added in. "No. I don't think I really have a must-have place to visit. Now if we were talking about fictional places to go, anything Star Wars would make my day." Yes, the geeky side was showing at that moment, but it would be awesome to see that stuff in real life and not on a screen. "Scott kept calling me an evil genius, so I told him to make a villain name for me. At first, he chose Dr. No. But that was boring. So I made him pick something else. Soooo, he gave me Captain Choas." And he was going to make sure Scott suffered for making up that name. It was going to be fun.

Stiles let Lydia pull him towards the racks that held the skates. Only then did he finally let go of her hand. Once he found his size, he grabbed the skates, sat down next to Lydia and changed from his shoes to the skates. "So, what do I get if I don't fall the entire time?"

"I guess Venice or Versailles. I wish I'd been able to pay more attention in Paris." They probably wouldn't repeat, and she'd been a little busy just digesting what had happened to her. "Wouldn't there be fighting if we ended up in some Star Wars planet?" Or just the whole planet blowing up—hey, look, she remembered a plot point! Ugh. He'd done this to her. "Captain Chaos? Sounds eerily accurate, actually."

At least he wasn't waxing philosophical about colors and candy. Finishing up her lacing, she pulled them tight once more before tying two neat knots. "What do you want?"

"Maybe we'll end up in one of those places." They had already done Paris, so there was a good possibility that they could end up in one or both places. "If only you had been dropped off here right before Paris." Even so, he had enjoyed the time they had together there. Even if it hadn't lasted long and they were still all new to the abduction. "Depends on what planet we get to be on and when and so many other things." He was glad that Lydia knew something about the movies. Unlike Scott. He was still determined to make his best friend watch it all. "Does this mean you like it?"

He was working on the second skate when she asked the question. "Hmm...you have to do whatever I want for twenty-four hours."

"It's alright, all that really matters is I did show up. We'll just have to go there back home at some point." Not that they'd know, but maybe deep down they would. All of the Star Wars planets seemed to have some kind of fighting from what she knew. And Stiles would definitely end up wanting one of the light swords. Which would probably end up with broken things and/or people. "I'm not going to get it tattooed on me, but it fits you. If you were a villain."

If anyone else was setting the terms, that request would have sent her packing. But she really did trust Stiles, and trusted that whatever he wanted wouldn't include anything that would hurt or humiliate her. Inconvenience or annoy was still on the table, but she could handle that. She shrugged and stood up. "Alright."

"You showing up definitely made me happy." Paris was good and all, but Lydia showing up had been the best thing at the time. "Agreed." If they even remembered this whenever they did get sent back home. And if they did end up in the Star Wars universe, he would definitely find a way to get his hands on a lightsaber. Oh yes. "No? I think it would look cute on you," he joked.

He was actually surprised that she agreed to it. He thought for sure she'd turn it down and then he would have to come up with something else. But she went for it. "Really?" He too stood up. "What would you want if you win?" It was only fair to ask, right? This was all in fun. And he knew he wouldn't make Lydia do anything bad if he won and he was pretty sure if she wanted the same deal, she wouldn't do anything bad towards him. It was all in good fun.

"Now would be a terrible time to wish I hadn't shown up, by the way." Not that she doubted his sincerity. "Maybe Scott can get the tattoo." If she ever got one, the first would definitely not be that. Scott already had his first one in the books, plus it was his creation.

Stepping onto the rink, she angled the blades so she wouldn't glide too far away yet, just in case he was unsteady. "You mean when I win?" She smirked as she raised an eyebrow his direction. "Twenty-four hours of you doing what I want doesn't sound so bad."

"I would never wish that you hadn't shown up. I just wish you could have enjoyed Paris a little more than you did." That was all. "I'm not holding him down while somebody burns the tattoo into his skin. No thank you. Been there and done that. I don't want to do it again."

Stiles followed right behind Lydia. He made sure to be as careful as possible. So far, so good. He stepped onto the ice, making sure to stand near the wall, just in case he felt his feet go out from under him. But so far, his feet were staying put. Good. "Okay, fair enough. Also, who says you're going to win?" He was determined to win now. He pushed off and carefuly starting making his way around the rink.

"Me, obviously." Once it was clear he wasn't going to crack his skull open on the ice, she pushed off as well, a few powerful strokes building up speed. The cold air burned her face, turning her cheeks and nose pink, but it felt like flying. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on that feeling as she raised her arms, gliding effortlessly over the ice. She wouldn't be able to see if Stiles fell, but she liked the plausible deniability. Part of her was very curious what he would ask of her if she couldn't say no.

She couldn't keep her eyes closed for long if she wanted to avoid running into something, angling her feet to slow her forward momentum with a spin, arms still out to keep it slow. When she skated out of the spin with her eyes open and searching for Stiles, she was practically glowing with happiness. "Alright, this might have been a good idea."

"We'll just have to see about that." Once he was comfortable with being on the ice, he started to skate. He did stop for a moment and just watched as Lydia skated along. She made it look so effortless and she actually seemed happy. Good. That's what he wanted for her since she hadn't seemed too happy the other day about the cold.

He started to skate again, weaving in and out of people who were just moving too slow for him. After a minute, he caught up to Lydia. "You're welcome for dragging you out of the house." He flashed her a smile before taking off again.

Being cold was the furthest thing from her mind right now. In fact, she was starting to heat up under all of her layers. Shedding her coat, she skated over to where their shoes were and draped it over the fence before taking off after him again. She didn't want to be accused of foul play in their little wager so she kept some distance, grinning over at him. "You've had far worse ideas. Feeling shaky?"

	Stiles had seen Lydia make her way out of the rink and for a moment he wondered what she was doing, but when he saw her hang her coat by their shoes, he knew what she was doing and continued to make his way around the rink. "Name one bad idea," he said as he glanced over at her. "Nope. I'm feeling pretty good. How about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-10-28 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	A few bad ideas sprang to mind (Mexico, the baseball bat, getting her out of Eichen, wanting to go snowboarding...), but this was supposed to be a fun day. Instead, she matched his speed, skated closer, and held out her hand. "I'll tell you all of your bad ideas tomorrow." The list would be so much more comprehensive by then, too. "Me? Very steady."

Stiles had waited to see which bad idea Lydia was going to bring up but then she didn't bring any of them up. Instead, he was going to have to hear a list of his bad ideas tomorrow. This could be bad. Maybe. He reached out and grabbed her hand. "Too many?" he asked, already knowing the answer to the question.

"So we're both doing well here." It kind of seemed like nobody was going to win this little bet. Which was okay. Then again, they both could fall since they were holding hands now instead of skating on their own.

"I don't want to think about the stupid stuff you've done. We're having a nice time." The look she shot him showed she was mostly teasing. Mostly.

Technically, the bet was only about Stiles falling, which meant he was likely to win. She was running the risk of being accused of cheating with their hands clasped if she pulled too hard and took him off balance, but she'd meant what she'd said about having a pleasant time. She didn't want to ruin that with a fight. "It's kind of nice to be here. We get to be normal most of the time, and the things that are terrible at least are immersive and don't hang over us for too long," unlike at home. "I like being normal."
