"Easier?" Scott echoed with a slight scoff, shaking his head. "This isn't easier." he said assuredly. "How is it supposed to be easier when the one person I always know I can count on suddenly...isn't there? I mean, who's the one that stayed up with me til midnight and watched scary movies my mom told us were off-limits? Who was the one that was there when my dad left? How do you think I can manage this without you?"
And maybe it sounded cheesy, but it was all true. Stiles had been Scott's best friends for basically his entire life. There wasn't anything the pair of them wouldn't do for the other. And going through this without Stiles, it just wasn't something Scott was okay with.
