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.

"Okay." He grabbed his spoon and then took the small bite after Lydia placed it on the spoon. He scrunched up his face and almost wanted to spit it out. It tasted so gross. He quickly swallowed it and said, "Yuck! That was gross." He grabbed a napkin and tried to wipe the taste out of his mouth. "Groossss." He finally stopped and then grabbed his trash and stood up. He tossed it into the trash can and then stood beside Lydia. "Cora won't watch anything with us. She always says no whenever I ask her to do anything."

	"Thanks for coming right back." Picking up her own trash, she tossed it in the garbage on the way out, then held out her hand for him to take once it was empty. "Well, how have you tried asking her?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He took her hand once again and let her led them out of the ice cream place. "I said, 'do you wanna play with me?' and she said 'no, go away shorty.'" He really didn't how there was any other way to ask. He hadn't been evil about it, but she still didn't want to do anything with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, that's not a very nice way to say no, is it? But not a lot of 13-year-olds want to play with kids your age. Would you want to play with a toddler if you had the choice not to?" It wasn't quite the same thing, thanks to adolescent hormones, but she wasn't about to explain that kind of thing to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nope," he said with a shake of his head. He was about to ask why not, but then she asked him that question. "No, but I'm not a toddler. I'm more fun. You're having fun with me now, aren't you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's kind of the same thing. She's almost twice as old as you are, she has her own things she wants to do that are different than things you want to do. Just like you don't play the same games you did when you were two." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 02:12 am UTC (link)
	"Soooooooooooo, don't ask her to play with me anymore?" That's what he was getting out of this conversation. "Can I ask you then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-08 02:16 am UTC (link)
	"You can ask her, you just have to respect when she says no, and try not to take it personally." It seemed he might have done the first part right, but the second part was so much harder. Even for adults sometimes. "Of course you can ask me. But I might say no sometimes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"I'll try." It was all he really could do. And he didn't bug her when she did say no. He just left her and went off to find the next person to ask. "Okay. But at least you won't call me names when you say no." he sighed. He really didn't like this conversation anymore. "Are we going home?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-08 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"Nope, the only name I might call you is mischief," she teased, trying to bring his spirits back up. "Yup, see it up ahead on the left? If you ever end up outside without me and you get lost, this is the building you need to try and find." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He looked up and smiled. "My mom calls me that!" He left out the bit that he called himself that for a bit too since he couldn't pronounce his actual name at first. He looked in the direction that Lydia had mentioned. "Yeah, I see it," he told her when he did finally see their apartment building. "I will." Hopefully, that never happened. Especially since he didn't want to scare her again.

	She wasn't going to let on that she already knew that (was it cheating? Nah), so she just grinned at him instead. "Really? Well we both must think it fits." The ostriches were just as creepy as ever, but now she had to not let on that she thought so while they waited for the elevator. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You can call me that if you want." Even though it was his mom's thing, he liked Lydia, so he would be okay if she called him that as well. As for the ostirches, he didn't find them creepy. He was watching them as they waited for the door to the elevator to open. "Wouldn't it be cool if they could talk?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-08 03:15 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks. I'll probably mostly stick with Stiles, but it's good to know I can when you're being silly." Looking around at the ostriches, she couldn't say she agreed. "What do you think they'd say if they could?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Do you have any nicknames?" he asked. "I think they would say they want to leave and go do something fun. Maybe they want to have get ice cream too." He grinned up at Lydia and then looked forward when the elevator dinged and the doors open. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My grandma used to call me Ariel, but no one else does. Sometime Lyd or Lyds, though." Letting go of his hand, she placed it on his back to guide him into the elevator. "Hmm, I think they like chocolate best. Time to push the button. Do you remember which one?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"Like the little mermaid? Is it because of your hair?" he asked as they made their way into the elevator. He looked at the buttons and then back at Lydia for a moment. "Yes!" He quickly pushed hte button for their floor and then watched as the doors closed a moment later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We used to read the book together, and I just really liked it." Leaning against the elevator wall, she flashed him a smile as he pushed the right button. It was the small things, even though she was already exhausted and the day wasn't close to finished. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 04:05 am UTC (link)
	"There's a book?" He didn't know that. He knew the movie. But had no idea that there was a book for it. He did a little dance since he had been right. After that he leaned against the wall and watched as the numbers on the display changed as the elevator took them to their floor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	futureimperfect 2019-11-08 04:14 am UTC (link)
	His dance reminded her of the sugar she'd just given him. Yup, this was going to be a long day. "There is. It's very very old, much older than the movie. But we watched the movie, too." The elevator dinged open and she held the door so he could get out. "Do you remember which room is ours? How fast do you think you can get there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Which one is better? The movie or book?" He had to ask. When the doors opened, he jumped out and then looked back, waiting for Lydia to exit the elevator too. "I do remember. Really fast." He took this as the a-okay to run ahead of her. So, that's what he did. He ran down the hallway all the way until he reached their apartment. "See!" He tried the handle, but it was locked, so he waited for Lydia to catch up and unlock the door.

"I like the book better because it reminds me of my grandmother." She gave him a little nod when he checked to see if running was okay. They were inside, he was much safer here. "Whoa, that was really fast. Are you sure you're not the Flash?" Reaching the apartment, she fit the key in the lock then pushed it open for him to go in. Just in case, she locked it behind them. "Why don't you go ask Scott if he wants to watch, and I'll make popcorn."

"Did she read it to you?" Yeah, he was still asking her question. He'd probably ask her a million more today before he passed out. "I'm sure! I bet it would be so cool to run that fast, though." The second the door was open, he went inside. "Okay!" He took off to ask Scott if he wanted to watch TV with them. After that, he went to the couch and plopped down on it. He grabbed the remote and turned it on. It didn't take him long to flip to one of the cartoon channels.

	"Sometimes. And then when I was old enough, I read it back to her." She didn't mind answering his questions as long as they all stayed as innocent as they had been. Big bowl of popcorn in hand, Lydia sat next to him on the couch, crossing her ankles on top of the ottoman. "What are we watching?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-11-08 05:17 am UTC (link)
	"So you took turns?" It sounded like it. He glanced away from the Tv long enough to see where she was going to place the popcorn. He wanted some. "We Bare Bears." He reached out and grabbed some popcorn. "Can we have chicken nuggets for dinner tonight?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
