Isaac can’t
stand it when you’re upset with him, especially when you won’t speak to him. It
doesn’t matter if you both start off angry. It doesn’t matter if it’s your
fault and you’re not speaking to him simply on principle. He doesn’t like the
silence that stretches between you. It gets under his skin in a way that
nothing else can until he’s coming back to you, desperate and eager for
reconciliation. And, of course, you can’t deny him when he gets like that. You
especially don’t mind the ‘reconciliation’ part.
Peter:
Peter
thinks it’s cute when you give him
the silent treatment. He laughs and asks if you’re giving him a “good, stern
not-talking-to”. You kind of want to smack him but it’s hard to stay mad at
someone that keeps smiling at you like that. Sigh. In the end, you almost
always cave even though you know Peter will be unbearably smug about it. And
the times you don’t? Well, Peter has other
ways to get you smiling again.
Derek:
Derek is insufferable
when you’re not talking to him. For someone who’s still a bit emotionally
constipated, he doesn’t handle it well when someone turns the tables on him.
Every time you turn around, he’s sighing heavily with displeasure. Honestly, he
basically turns into a sulky teenager. It’d be cute if it weren’t annoying. You
could end it yourself, but you’re just as stubborn as he is so you always hold
out until he’s the one coming to you. “I’m sorry. Now, will you just talk to
me?” He’ll ask moodily. You always turn to him, grin, and ask “What took you so
long?”
Malia:
The silent
treatment doesn’t really work on Malia. She doesn’t give you a single moment to
stew in your anger before she’s crowding into your space to suggest you work
things out some other way. It’s at times like this that you remember she was
stuck in her coyote form for years because this, the way she stalks towards you
and gazes at you hungrily, it’s primal. She’s always said that angry sex is
better than any other kind. With Malia, you’re inclined to agree.
Scott:
The silent
treatment never lasts for more than five minutes with Scott. He’s got that
kicked puppy look that tears you up inside and you know he knows it. He’s not
nearly as innocent as his adorable face would lead you to believe. You know he’s
playing you. But when that sunny smile of his replaces those pouty lips, you
can’t even bring yourself to care.
Kira:
The silent
treatment never last for more than three minutes with Kira. She’s got the same
innocent kind of face that Scott does but where he pretends to be hurt to win people
over with his puppy eyes, Kira is actually hurt when you won’t speak to her. The fact that you know it’s seriously causing her pain means that you can never
keep it up for long. When all is said and done, you’re the one that ends up
comforting her.
Lydia:
Lydia can
withstand the silent treatment for days. And
she gives as good as she gets. When she’s fed up with it, she’ll tell you to
stop being an idiot. You can’t fix anything if you don’t talk it out. And Lydia’s
the smartest person you know so you usually listen. But when it’s you getting
the silent treatment, nothing you say can get her to talk to you. Lydia only
does things on her own timetable. But you knew that when you fell in love with
her.
Allison:
You’re
not allowed to give Allison the silent treatment. She’ll keep talking at you
until you find yourself talking back. Allison has spent too much time in a
family where there wasn’t nearly enough talking and she knows that’s a big part
of what tore them apart. So, Allison insists on always getting everything out on
the table. No secrets, no hidden resentment, just truth. You’re never scared of
where your relationship with Allison will end up because she makes sure that
you’re keeping the lines of communication open. You can’t help but love someone
who refuses to let you fail.
Stiles:
Stiles
almost prefers the silent treatment to actually fighting. In a fight, you’re
just too good at frustrating him and making him trip over his words. Just
because you’re not speaking, doesn’t mean you’re not listening. Stiles uses
that to his advantage. He’ll try to make you see his side of the argument when
he’s convinced that you’re the one in the wrong. When he knows he is, he’ll
use the opportunity to apologize, slowly creeping closer, testing the waters to
see if you’re feeling forgiving. And let’s face it, when Stiles is offering
apology cuddles, you’re not ever going to turn him down.
Jackson:
Honestly,
Jackson resorts to using the silent treatment more than you do. When you’re
both angry, you have to wait for Jackson to cool off before even attempting to
speak to him again. But when he knows that you’re upset and it’s genuinely his
fault, Jackson turns into something resembling an actual human being. He’ll be
sweet and try to soothe you. It usually ends up working because it really shows you that hurting you actually hurts him too. You kind of love this
side of him that no one else gets to see. You know he’s a dick half the time but somehow, that didn’t stop
you from falling for him. And you think times like this might be why.
Danny:
Everyone
loves Danny. But that doesn’t make him perfect. In fact, his popularity is part
of the problem sometimes. Everyone wants a piece of Danny’s attention, leaving
little time for you. Danny knows he’s spent a little too much time away from
you when you won’t speak to him. He immediately feels guilty when this happens
and apologizes profusely. It throws him off because he isn’t used to being kept at arm’s length. However, you can never resist his charms for long, especially when
he promises you some quality time, just the two of you. Starting immediately.
It won’t always be enough, but for now, it’s a pretty good deal.
Liam:
Liam hates when you give him the silent
treatment. He huffs and acts like he’s going to return the favor. Crossing his
arms and turning away from you but he’s turning back thirty seconds later and
reaching for you before he thinks better of it. “Please, talk to me,” he pleads
with earnest eyes. It’s hard to stay mad at him when he’s looking at you like
that but you fight the urge to give in. “Baby, please.” That’s what always does it, that ‘baby’. You can’t stay
mad when he calls you that. You wonder how long it will take him to realize the
ace up his sleeve and you can only hope you’ll build up a resistance to it
before he does.
Erica:
Erica acts
unbothered when you give her the silent treatment. You aren’t really fooled
though because she stays close, always hovering nearby in case you decide you
aren’t mad at her anymore. Despite the confidence that came with becoming a
werewolf, Erica still has this underlying need to please, especially the people
she cares about. You try not to use that against her, even when you’re angry,
but you can’t deny that it feels nice to know that she’s waiting. You usually take
pity on her pretty quickly because making up always feels so much better than
not speaking to her.
Boyd:
You don’t
give Boyd the silent treatment. He’s so
much better at it than you. Why fight a losing battle?
