WHO: Lydia Martin & Stiles Stilinksi
WHERE: Starting in the flat, and then ?
WHEN: Monday
WARNINGS: Probably 0

At the rate the entity was going with all of these events, it was going to take Lydia four years to finish her two years of college. Not that she was in any particular rush while she was here, but she did like her classes. There was no way she was getting on a subway train to school when there were three kids in the apartment. Well, two kids and a teenager. And work was right out as well. She was letting them roam the building freely without hovering too much, but if they needed something she wanted to be close by. She had no idea if that was right, but she had no idea if any of what she was doing was right. And she couldn't exactly call her mom.

Standing in the kitchen with a notepad in hand, she was taking stock of the dismal state of their pantry. They were eating so much, and she hadn't wanted to run out to the store to replenish in case she was needed. The idea of bringing Scott and Stiles with her was way too nerve-wracking. She'd definitely lose one of them, if not both. She had so much more respect for Melissa, Claudia, and Noah right now.

	"Like what?" Stiles asked curiously as he leaned his against the chain and watched as Lydia swung back and forth. He was kind of forgetting to do swing himself. "Do you have a lot of friends?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, we have homework. And some of us have jobs. I have very good friends, which I like better than having a lot of friends." Not the answer she would have given a few years ago. Looking over at him, she noticed he wasn't swinging and straightened her legs into the ground, stopping. "Now why aren't you swinging?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He scrunched up his face when she mentioned homework. Homework was not fun. "Those don't sound fun. Don't you do anything fun?" he asked. "OoOoh. Some is better than none." He looked down and then back up again. Oh, right, he wasn't swinging. He was just sitting still and staring at Lydia while they spoke. "I was talking to you?" He grinned at her before he started moving his little legs to get him going again.

"Homework can be fun!" If this wasn't temporary, she'd have to figure out how to convince them all to go to school, wouldn't she? Great. She'd cross that bridge if it lasted more than two weeks. "We go out, too. Bowling. Lacrosse games. Trivia." There was the same sass. Now it was her turn to sit on the swing and watch him. "What do you do for fun when you aren't stuck here with me?"

	"Nu uh." He did not believe her. There was no way that homework could be fun. "Those things are fun?" he asked. He's never done any of them, so it was a good question to ask. "This and watching movies with my mom. And playing with Scott." Now it was his turn to notice that he was the one swinging and Lydia was sitting still. "Can we get ice cream now?"

	futureimperfect 2019-11-07 03:31 am UTC (link)
	"They're fun," she assured him, though if he didn't believe her about the homework he probably wouldn't believe her about anything else. "What's your favorite movie to watch with your mom?" She looked around the park, pursing her lips. "Are you sure you're done here at the park? After ice cream, I don't have many more ideas to keep you entertained." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Stiles didn't have to think of his answer to that question. He knew it right away. "Star Wars." He smiled brightly and then glanced around the park, too, when Lydia had. "Yeah, I'm sure. I want ice cream." He swung back and forth a few more times before jumping off of the swing and landing in the sand. "Come on!" He glanced back at Lydia before he took off towards the entrence of the park.

	"Stiles! Wait!" Lydia was out of her seat and chasing after him as fast as she could, but running in heeled boots wasn't always easy. She'd said he only would get ice cream if he behaved, so she hoped he'd follow the order and not go racing off without her. It was dangerous out there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stiles was running. He pretty much didn't stop until he reached the sidewalk. That's when he stopped and turned around to see if Lydia was catching up to him or not. "Hurry up!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-07 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Relieved he'd stopped, Lydia caught up to him with a frown, immediately taking a knee when she was close enough to look him in the eye. "Hey. What did I say about listening to me? You scared me; I didn't know if you were going to stop." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-07 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Stiles looked Lydia in the eye when she got down to his level. The smile he had faded away. He didn't mean to scare her. He just got too excited and wanted to get going already. "I'm sorry." He looked away and looked down at the ground, feeling kind of bad that he did that to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-07 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Reaching out, she gently lifted his chin so he could see she was smiling. He'd said he was sorry without prompting and he clearly felt bad about it. She didn't want to ruin his whole day. "Thank you, just promise me you won't do that again, alright? And let's go get that ice cream." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He looked up since he kind of didn't have a choice. He was almost scared to see the look on her face, but when he saw that she was smiling he was a little confused. Wasn't she mad? He thought she would be. "I promise. I won't do it again." He ended the sentence with a sharp nod of his head. "Okay!" The smile was back and he was grabbing her hand to show that he wasn't going to take off again.

	"Thank you. I don't like being scared." Lydia gave his hand a little squeeze and stood up, brushing the dirt from her knees with her free hand. "What flavor are you going to get?" The ice cream was only a blook away, thank god. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't like being scared either," he told her, wondering if that would make her feel better. He started to walk when she did. He never let go of her hand. Not even once. "Hmmm..." he thought about it and thought about it and thought about it some more. "I don't know. There are too many good flavors." Plus, they could have something he couldn't think of and he might want it, so really, he couldn't chose right at this moment. "What are you going to get?"

"I don't know either! I was hoping to steal your idea," she teased. Inside the ice cream shop, all of the flavors were written out on top of the containers, which were pretty much at forehead level for Stiles. "Hold on." Before he could get frustrated or start straining, Lydia lifted him to stand on one of the stools, keeping a grip firmly on his waist so he didn't fall over. "Can you read them?"

Stiles looked up at Lydia and gasped in shock. He could tell she was just messing around and he was just playing along.

Once inside the shop, he went straight to the ice cream. Of course, he was too short and having to tiptoe was a pain. And he would have become frustrated if it weren't for Lydia's quick thinking. Now that he could read and see the ice scream, he mentally tried to decide which one he wanted to eat. "I want that one," he said as he pointed to a brightly pink-colored ice cream. Bubble gum flavored ice cream sounded pretty good right now.

	"Good choice." Gross. She set him back down on the ground. "I'll order the ice cream if you go find us a place to sit and save it. Deal?" The place wasn't particularly crowded, but it was a task that would hopefully keep him in one place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-07 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	"I know!" He was pretty happy with his choice and now she was going to let him pick where they sit? Awesome! "Deal!" He was already walking away and looking for a vacant table for them to sit out. He found one near a window and sat down as he waited for Lydia to get the ice cream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The ice cream was served up quickly, and she found Stiles after not too long with two cups and way more napkins than two people would ever need, except that one of those people was seven so they just might. "Here you go..." Sliding the cup of two scoops of bubblegum ice cream in front of him, she then handed him a spoon before taking the seat across from him with her own scoop of coffee sorbet. "So, the park and then ice cream. What else do you like to do with your mom?"

	Stiles was looking out of the window, his legs swinging back and forth since his feet didn't reach the ground. He looked up when Lydia finally joined him with the ice cream. "Thanks!" He took the spoon and wasted no time in digging in. "Umm...everything." That seemed like a pretty good answer to him. "Why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-07 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	Yea, there was no way this ice cream wasn't going to end in another burst of energy. Though that seemed to be all he was made of so maybe it wouldn't be so bad. And it had been her fault for getting him two. "No real reason, I'm just curious if you'd want to do any of those things here. I was going to ask Scott, too, when we got home."

He was either going to go crazy on sugar or crash from all of the sugar. It could go either way. "I like watching movies with her." He ate more of his ice cream. "Ooh! Maybe he'll want to do something. I'm sure he misses his mom, too." He was already halfway done with his treat before he leaned forward a little to get a better look at Lydia's ice cream. "What kind is that?" he asked as he pointed to it with his own spoon.

"He's not going to want to watch Star Wars with you." But maybe he would without all of the years of trying to prove his point. "But maybe we can find something else." She'd only managed to take two bites of her ice cream compared to his feeding frenzy. "It's coffee flavored." She was hoping the tiny amount of caffeine would help, but she was also really considering Postmating some Starbucks to the apartment or wherever they went next.

	"I know he won't. We can watch something else," he said before shoveling more ice cream into his mouth. "Ew." He scrunched up his face in disgust. "It must be gross. You're barely eating it," he pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
