Pairing: Isaac x Male Reader, hints of Stiles/Derek
POV: Scott
Musical Inspiration: âHold Each Otherâ – A Great Big World
(ft. FUTURISTIC)
Your brother Scott doesnât really think anything of how close
you and Isaac are. He and Stiles are close. Friends are allowed to be close.
Especially when they live under the same roof.
He realizes quite suddenly just how oblivious heâs been when
he comes home one day to you and Isaac making dinner together. At first he just
greets the two of you as he passes by on his way to his room. Heâs got a lot of
homework and heâs still trying to stay on the âBe a better
alpha/student/son/brotherâ kick heâs been on. Itâs only when he stops for a
break, coming back towards the kitchen to get himself a soda that he hears his
name and stops to listen.
ââŚdonât feel right keeping this from Scott,â Isaacâs voice
carries to his enhanced ears.
âI know. Me neither,â you answer hesitantly. âBut I donât
know how heâd react if he found out and I donât want anything to come in the
way of this.â
âYou really think heâd be bothered?â Isaac asks skeptically.
âStiles is hot for Derek and Scott doesnât care.â
âYeah, well, Stiles isnât Scottâs brother. And last I
checked, Derek wasnât hitting that.â Your phrasing makes Scott wince. He may be
realizing that you and Isaac are more than just friends and heâs pretty sure he
can deal with that if he has to, but he doesnât need that mental image.
âWhy are you checking on who Derekâs hitting?â The question
is worded ridiculously and itâs obvious that itâs playful jealousy coloring
Isaacâs tone as both of you laugh. The sound makes Scott grin dopily because
even if heâs hurt that youâve been keeping this secret from him, itâs obvious
that you and Isaac have a pretty special relationship if you can play like
this.
âBecause Iâm hot for Stiles, didnât you know?â
âBetter not be,â Isaac growls lightly.
âNo,â You agree immediately. âSomehow, I canât see anyone
else but you.â
The grin falls off Scottâs face rather quickly when he hears
the wet smack of lips meeting.
âDonât mind me,â Scott says bursting into the kitchen and
heading to the fridge, nerves calming when he can literally hear both of you freeze where you stand.
He grabs his soda and turns to see you still pressed against Isaacâs body, the
blonde boyâs arms still wrapped around your waist. âNo, really,â He says
letting his hurt at being kept out of the loop shine through his tone. âPretend
Iâm not here. Doesnât seem like itâs been too hard to do up âtil now.â
âScott,â You say plaintively, asking for something heâs not
ready to give.
âItâs fine,â he says with a shake of his head, takes his
soda, and storms back to his room.
~@~
Scott looks up from his homework at the knock on his door.
He sighs, runs a hand through his hair.
âCome in,â he calls, all the fight going out of him when he
sees you meekly stick your head in the door.
âHi,â you say, stepping the rest of the way into the room
when Scott turns his whole body towards you so that you know you have his full
attention.
âHey,â he answers sullenly.
âLook,â you sit on the edge of Scottâs bed, hands on your
knees, ready to pull yourself back up if he decides he doesnât want you in his
room after all. âIâm sorry I didnât tell you about me and Isaac.â
âDid you seriously think Iâd have a problem with it?â Scott
asks, hating how whiny he sounds but unable to help it. âYouâre my brother.â
You shrug. âI kind of thought youâd be okay about me. I
mean, Stiles is bisexual and that doesnât bother you so me being with a guy
doesnât seem like itâd be a big deal either. Itâs just⌠itâs Isaac. He lives here and weâre alone
together a lot so I wasnât sure how youâd feel about it going on where you
could see it all the time. Plus, for a while there, I thought you might like him.â
Scott chokes on the sip of soda heâd just taken. âWhat? W- Why?â He sputters.
You shrug again and Scott can see the laughter youâre trying
to hold back at his reaction. âThe way you acted when he first moved in. You
had a tendency to hover, like you wanted to make sure he was okay. I realize
now that it was just concern because youâre you
and thatâs what you do but⌠I thought for sure the two of you were gonna-â
âStop. No. Just stop that train of thought right there,â
Scott orders throwing up his hands as though trying to physically block out the
mental pictures.
You smirk. âBesides, have you seen Isaac?â
âOh my god.â Scott closes his eyes. âIâm moving in with
Stiles.â
Your laughter is nice after all the tension thatâs been
smothering the two of you and Scott canât help but smile back.
âYou know, you donât have to keep secrets from me,â Scott
says finally. âI may not always like what you tell me, but Iâll always have you back where it counts.â
âYeah,â you agree with a grin. âIâm getting that.â
âYou know this means Iâm giving Isaac the âdadâ speech,
right?â Itâs Scottâs turn to smirk.
âHe canât get me pregnant, Scott,â you deadpan.
âNot- Â Oh my goodness,â
Scott rubs at his eyes. âNot that âdadâ
speech.â
âOhhhhh. You mean the hurt-him-and-I-have-some-wolfsbane-bullets-with-your-name-on-them
speech.â
âYep, that one,â Scott nods.
You grin. âConsider it given. Heâs probably listening from
the living room.â
Scott tilts his head, clearly hearing Isaacâs âIâll take
care of him, Scott. I swear on my lifeâ from the other room.
âRuin all my fun, why donât you?â
âItâll be okay,â You promise, rising to squeeze Scottâs
shoulder before you leave him alone in his room. âYouâre the best!â
Scott shakes his head and tries to get back to his homework.
Five minutes later he gives up with a whine when he canât stop hearing you and
Isaac making out in the living room.
âI take it all back!â He yells. âItâs not fine! Iâm not cool
with this!â
âCome on,â he hears you mumble quietly to Isaac as both of
you laugh at him, followed by the soft click of the front door closing behind
you.
He goes to his window, seeing you and Isaac heading off to
somewhere you wonât disturb him, hand in hand.
His lips twitch into a smile of their own volition. Isaac
obviously makes you happy, and that will always be okay in Scottâs book.
Honestly, pretty much the whole world
needs to get down on its knees and thank Isaac Lahey for his entire freaking
existence.Â
Youâve always sort of had a short fuse but itâs so much worse with
your new wolfy senses. There are some days where you can barely keep yourself
in check and Isaac has been there for all of them, holding you back and calming
you down. Keeping you from hurting someone and having to live with that regret
no matter how much the fools may seem to deserve the pain in the heat of the
moment. You donât know how he knows but he always shows up at just the right
time to pull you back from the brink of destruction. This time was no different.
Except in all the ways that it was.
There had been a time when someone
would say something nasty or rude to you and youâd merely bite back with a
witty retort or a one-fingered salute but those days were gone, your anger
often getting the best of you. There was a group of boys that enjoyed setting
you off. One in particular especially enjoyed your pain. It was like he studied
you, searching for your weak spots so he knew exactly which buttons to press to
have you lunging towards him. Heâd noticed how Isaac was always showing up to
rescue you (or rather, him. He just
didnât know it) and made an educated guess about how you felt for your fellow
beta. Thatâs why he was throwing ugly words about Isaacâs past at you, talking
about how Isaacâs dad had probably had a
good reason to lock him in the basement. After all, Isaac had ended up
murdering him, hadnât he?
Youâd been walking away from them,
trying to ignore it and keep your cool but talking about Isaac like that was a
serious mistake on their part. You growl deep in your throat and you know that
your eyes flash gold before youâre suddenly turning, hand on the boyâs throat
as you press him against a locker. His friends back off as he struggles against
your hold. His fear is a sickly sweet smell that you take a moment to
appreciate. This time, you were faster than Isaac but in seconds heâs at your
side, breathing heavily and trying to convince you to let the boy go. When that
doesnât work, he pries your fingers from the boyâs neck, entangling them with
his own so that you canât put them back the second he lets you go.
âGet out of here,â Isaac snarls and
the boy goes running. You idly think that he probably wonât be bothering you
again as Isaac pulls you into the janitorâs closet to make sure that youâre
calm enough to go to class.
âHey,â Isaac says, lifting his hands
to your head, fingers lost in your hair, holding you firmly so that you canât
look away once heâs gotten your attention. âAre you calm?â
You can still feel your heart
rabbiting in your chest, anger still burning through your veins.
âNo,â you shake your head. âIsaac, the
things he saidââ
âI donât care about what he said, I
care about you,â he interrupts, not wanting you to think about what had upset
you so that you donât let your anger affect you again. His hands move from your
hair to your shoulders, grasping tightly. The weight is comforting, kind of
like itâs anchoring you. âBreathe, okay? I need you to calm down.â
You take a deep breath and then
another but when you close your eyes to try and think of something soothing,
all you find are images of that boy, laughing and spilling toxic stories about
this boy that you care about so much.
â(Y/n)!â Isaac shakes you, drawing you
from the memory.
âWhat?â
âYou were growling and your eyes are glowing. Whatever youâre
doing, itâs not working,â Isaac tells you, running his hands down your arms and
capturing your hands in his. âThink about something that makes you happy or- or
somewhere you feel safe.â
You try, you really do. But every time
you close your eyes, that boyâs face is waiting to taunt you.
âI canât,â you whisper, gripping Isaac
hands tightly. âI just keep thinking about what he was sayââ
Isaacâs lips interrupt your sentence,
the press of his mouth against yours making your brain stop working entirely
except to scream at you to respond. You drop Isaacâs hands and wrap your arms around
his neck, pulling him closer as you kiss him like youâve been dying to for
ages. His hands end up at the small of your back, fingers spread wide as he
holds you to him.
You eventually break apart, breathless
and kiss drunk.
âWow,â Isaac exhales. âI was just
trying to distract you from your angerâŚâ Your heart drops at Isaacâs words until
he looks at you, eyes flashing a brilliant gold. âBut that- Iâve actually
wanted to do that for a while.â
âYeah?âÂ
Isaac answers by ducking down to steal
another kiss. Youâre more than okay with this development.
âAre you calm, now?â He asks.
âHardly,â you answer with a grin. âBut
Iâm not likely to maim anyone anymore.â
Isaac smirks back at you, pressing
another kiss to the corner of your mouth before saying something about it being
safe to head to class now. You donât want to, youâd rather stay right here and
let Isaac distract you from your thoughts for a little while longer.
âHey, Isaac?â You call for his
attention before he can open the door. Somethingâs been bothering you and you
think now is a good time to ask. âHow do you always know? You always show up to
calm me down before I can do too much damage. How do you know when I need you?â
Isaac doesnât look at you, his back
facing you and his eyes to the floor so you canât understand what he mumbles.
âSorry, what?â You grasp his shoulder
and turn him so that you might have a chance to hear what he says this time.
âI was listening to your heartbeat,â
Oh. Ohhh. âBut, wait, that would mean you have to be listening all the time.â
Isaac doesnât say anything to that and
after hearing nothing from you, he glances up from the ground to gage your
reaction.
âSo, youâve been listening for my
heartbeat to speed up so you know when to come âwhite knightâ me?â
âAt first.â
The fact that he says nothing else
leads you to draw your own conclusions about Isaacâs statement.
You conclude that heâs an idiot thatâs
completely in love with you. Thatâs the only conclusion thatâs allowed.
So, maybe you spend a lot more time
making out with Isaac in the hallways than trying to keep your anger in check
these days. Really, people should stop staring and rolling their eyes at
your PDA. Itâs for the safety of the school. Youâre doing them all a public
service, they should be thanking you. Â
Isaac canât
stand it when youâre upset with him, especially when you wonât speak to him. It
doesnât matter if you both start off angry. It doesnât matter if itâs your
fault and youâre not speaking to him simply on principle. He doesnât like the
silence that stretches between you. It gets under his skin in a way that
nothing else can until heâs coming back to you, desperate and eager for
reconciliation. And, of course, you canât deny him when he gets like that. You
especially donât mind the âreconciliationâ part.
Peter:
Peter
thinks itâs cute when you give him
the silent treatment. He laughs and asks if youâre giving him a âgood, stern
not-talking-toâ. You kind of want to smack him but itâs 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 donât? Well, Peter has other
ways to get you smiling again.
Derek:
Derek is insufferable
when youâre not talking to him. For someone whoâs still a bit emotionally
constipated, he doesnât handle it well when someone turns the tables on him.
Every time you turn around, heâs sighing heavily with displeasure. Honestly, he
basically turns into a sulky teenager. Itâd be cute if it werenât annoying. You
could end it yourself, but youâre just as stubborn as he is so you always hold
out until heâs the one coming to you. âIâm sorry. Now, will you just talk to
me?â Heâll ask moodily. You always turn to him, grin, and ask âWhat took you so
long?â
Malia:
The silent
treatment doesnât really work on Malia. She doesnât give you a single moment to
stew in your anger before sheâs crowding into your space to suggest you work
things out some other way. Itâs 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, itâs primal. Sheâs always said that angry sex is
better than any other kind. With Malia, youâre inclined to agree.
Scott:
The silent
treatment never lasts for more than five minutes with Scott. Heâs got that
kicked puppy look that tears you up inside and you know he knows it. Heâs not
nearly as innocent as his adorable face would lead you to believe. You know heâs
playing you. But when that sunny smile of his replaces those pouty lips, you
canât even bring yourself to care.
Kira:
The silent
treatment never last for more than three minutes with Kira. Sheâs 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 wonât speak to her. The fact that you know itâs seriously causing her pain means that you can never
keep it up for long. When all is said and done, youâre 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 sheâs fed up with it, sheâll tell you to
stop being an idiot. You canât fix anything if you donât talk it out. And Lydiaâs
the smartest person you know so you usually listen. But when itâs 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:
Youâre
not allowed to give Allison the silent treatment. Sheâll keep talking at you
until you find yourself talking back. Allison has spent too much time in a
family where there wasnât nearly enough talking and she knows thatâs 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. Youâre never scared of
where your relationship with Allison will end up because she makes sure that
youâre keeping the lines of communication open. You canât help but love someone
who refuses to let you fail.
Stiles:
Stiles
almost prefers the silent treatment to actually fighting. In a fight, youâre
just too good at frustrating him and making him trip over his words. Just
because youâre not speaking, doesnât mean youâre not listening. Stiles uses
that to his advantage. Heâll try to make you see his side of the argument when
heâs convinced that youâre the one in the wrong. When he knows he is, heâll
use the opportunity to apologize, slowly creeping closer, testing the waters to
see if youâre feeling forgiving. And letâs face it, when Stiles is offering
apology cuddles, youâre not ever going to turn him down.
Jackson:
Honestly,
Jackson resorts to using the silent treatment more than you do. When youâre
both angry, you have to wait for Jackson to cool off before even attempting to
speak to him again. But when he knows that youâre upset and itâs genuinely his
fault, Jackson turns into something resembling an actual human being. Heâll 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 heâs a dick half the time but somehow, that didnât stop
you from falling for him. And you think times like this might be why.
Danny:
Everyone
loves Danny. But that doesnât make him perfect. In fact, his popularity is part
of the problem sometimes. Everyone wants a piece of Dannyâs attention, leaving
little time for you. Danny knows heâs spent a little too much time away from
you when you wonât speak to him. He immediately feels guilty when this happens
and apologizes profusely. It throws him off because he isnât used to being kept at armâs 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 wonât always be enough, but for now, itâs a pretty good deal.
Liam:
Liam hates when you give him the silent
treatment. He huffs and acts like heâs going to return the favor. Crossing his
arms and turning away from you but heâs turning back thirty seconds later and
reaching for you before he thinks better of it. âPlease, talk to me,â he pleads
with earnest eyes. Itâs hard to stay mad at him when heâs looking at you like
that but you fight the urge to give in. âBaby, please.â Thatâs what always does it, that âbabyâ. You canât 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 youâll build up a resistance to it
before he does.
Erica:
Erica acts
unbothered when you give her the silent treatment. You arenât really fooled
though because she stays close, always hovering nearby in case you decide you
arenât 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 youâre angry,
but you canât deny that it feels nice to know that sheâs waiting. You usually take
pity on her pretty quickly because making up always feels so much better than
not speaking to her.
Boyd:
You donât
give Boyd the silent treatment. Heâs so
much better at it than you. Why fight a losing battle?
Scott: Scottâs lacrosse sweatshirt might actually be the comfiest thing in existence. It was fuzzy on the inside, and kept you toasty warm. Not only that, but it always somehow still smelt a little like Scott. When you would go and watch the boys lacrosse practice, you would always sneak down and steal it right off the bench. Not that Scott even minded, he was proud that a beautiful girl like you was wearing his sweatshirt.
Stiles: Stiles had this black hoodie, with a batman symbol right in the middle that you two would always fight over. Of course it was play fighting, you two usually arguing over who was the bigger batman fan. Lets just say, you usually won, wearing the hoodie with triumph. Stiles actually ended up buying you a matching one, just to stop the arguments, even though they were adorable in his eyes.
Derek: Derekâs famous leather jacket. Yup, that piece of clothing was your favorite thing. It was pretty big on you, which allowed you to snuggle into it even more. Derek would huff in annoyance when he would go looking for it, and find you snuggled up on HIS couch watching tv.
Isaac: All Beacon Hills lacrosse players had two jerseys. One for home games, and one for away games. Letâs just say, whenever Isaac had an away game, he would have to hunt you down to get his jersey back. You loved repping his number fourteen jersey, with Lahey in bold across your back. And even though he would act playfully annoyed when he would have to come all the way to your house to get it back, he truthfully loved how proud you were to wear his name.
Scott: âYou know (y/n), you havenât had a boyfriend in a while,â your annoying, snotty Aunt spoke, making your eyes grow wide and nearly choke on your water you were currently drinking. You sat in your living room with some family members, and your best friend Scott. Scott had been over when your Aunt and a few siblings decided to drop in, much to your dismay. You didnât say anything as you watched your Aunt take a sip of her tea, your mother giving her sister a look of dissaproval. âIâm just saying, you must be doing something wrong. You need to have a man in your life,â she said, making you want to not only curl up into a ball of embarressment because she was saying this all in front of Scott, but also punch her in the face because of her arrogance. âActually,â Scott piped up, slinging his arm over my shoulder, âIâm her boyfriend.â Good thing you werenât taking another sip of water, because youâre pretty sure it would be all over the room right now. You watched as you Auntâs face fell, and your mother suppress a laugh as she watched Scott smile cheekily in your Auntâs direction. âWell,â you Aunt said flustered and a bit awkward, âvery well then.â
Stiles:Â âWhat about this one?â You asked holding up a dress towards yourself, admiring the light green fabric. â(Y/N) honestly, you look beautiful in anything,â Stiles said a bit tired, making a small blush rise up your cheeks. You had dragged Stiles with you to get a dress for your cousins sweet 16, and after almost an hour, you could tell Stiles was getting pretty tired. âOkay, Iâll just get this one seeing as you look like you could take a nap right now,â you laughed, making Stiles smile and spring up from the seat he had taken on the ground, the two of you walking over to the checkout line. As you approached the counter, a boy took the dress from you, scanning it and swiftly putting it in a bag. âIâll just add the employee discount to that for you,â he smiled as you handed him over the amount of money. âUh, thanks,â you said thankfully as Stiles gave the guy a weird look. âAnything for a beautiful girl like you,â he said as you immediately felt an arm reach its way around your waist. Stiles tugged you closer to him, eyeing the cashier as you picked up the bag from the counter. âUh, sorry man, didnât know you were her boyfriend,â the boy said nervously, making you shake your head. âOh no, heâs not-â you started, but got cut off by Stiles. âMhm buddy, keep your eyes off,â Stiles said trying to act tough, leading you away from the cashier before you could say another word.
Isaac: âNow, choose your partner carefully, because you will not only be working with this person for the next two months, but it will directly account for forty percent of your grade in this class. And with those wise words of advice, go!â The teacher said, making everyone in the class spring up from their seats and run to the person they wanted as their partner. You looked over at your only friend in the class, Isaac, who already had a smile on his face as he sat down next to you. âPartners?â He asked, but just as you were about to respond, a boy walked up to you. You knew he was in a few of your classes, but you had never really talked to him. âHey (y/n), want to be partners?â He asked cockily, already pulling up a seat before you had even responded. âSo I canât really work on this project all that much because of lacrosse practice, but Iâll make the cover page if you want?â He asked as you raised your eyebrows. Like hell you were doing all this project by yourself. âI donât really know what you think, but I think (y/n) would rather work with her boyfriend, but thatâs just my opinion,â Isaac stated rather annoyed, as you couldnât help but let out a slight chuckle at the guys reaction. It was silent for a few moments while the boy stared at Isaac. âOh, um yeah, of course,â he mumbled, standing up and walking away defeated as you looked at Isaac, both of you bursting into laughter.
Liam: âLiam, I need you to do me a favor,â you asked as the both of you stood in the hallway. âAnd what would that be?â He asked as he shoved a random textbook into his locker. You closed your locker and leaned against it as you nervously bit your lip. âPretend to be my boyfriend,â you spit out before you had even realized what was happening. You hand flew to your mouth as your eyes bulged out of your head as he closed his locker and looked at you. âExcuse me?â He asked confused. âLook I-â You began to explain before a boy walked up, making you groan. âWhy hello (y/n), looking lovely today,â the boy said as you put a fake smile on your face. You were pretty new to Beacon Hills, and this one boy has been bugging you since you got here. âSo have you reconsidered my offer for a date yet?â He asked with eyebrows raised as you took a deep breath to remain calm. âNot entirely,â you said honestly as Liam looked between the two of you, jaw clenched together. âWell like Iâve said before, the offer still stands, and I would love to take you out,â he said. This kid would just not give up. Liam must have understood what was happening, because the next thing you knew, his arm was wrapped around your waist, and his lips briefly met yours. You tried not to look too shocked as Liam turned to face the boy. âSorry, sheâs taken,â he said with a big smile on his face.
A/N: Requests are open! For preferences, specify scenario and if you want specific guys in it, if not, I will just do a few random ones. For imagines, specify which guy and scenario(:
Scott: When Scott hugs you, his hands always wrap around your waist snuggly, and he smiles right at you. While your in his arms, he places small kisses on your forehead, along with the occasional one or two on your dimples. Being close to you makes him the happiest person in the world, and he makes it a point to make sure you know it.
Stiles: Stiles loves hugging you, and makes it a priority to do it very often. He likes to pick you up and spin you around while he hugs you, making you laugh every time. Your laugh is like music to Stilesâ ears, and the fact that he is the reason for that music makes him feel like the luckiest man in the world.Â
Derek: Derek really wasât one for PDA, but when it was just the two of you, he was a total mush. He would cuddle with you on the couch, as you sat on his lap hugging his torso. Heâd stroke your hair as you trace shapes on his chest, and he was grateful to have one person in his life that he knew would never leave him.
Isaac: Isaac likes being as close to you as possible, so when he hugs you, he goes all out. His hands are wrapped tightly around your waist, and due to the height difference, his head is snuggled into your hair. Your head would be tucked away in his shoulder as he would whisper loving words right into your ear.
Summary:Â Your baby boy Isaac likes when you take him away.Â
Pairing: Isaac Lahey x reader
Rating: Teen for mild swearing
âWhat if we ran away together?âÂ
You whispered conspiratorially, like it was a secret that only Isaac was allowed to hear. Blue eyes peaked out over the slightly tattered thrift store novel, the one you gave him for Christmas last year. Isaac said he liked old vintage things, craved the warmth of not having to be so impressive all the time.Â
And you didnât actually want to run away, but you just needed to go somewhere, recharge. You could never leave your pack and youâd never ask Isaac to, either. Regardless, you suspected heâd say yes. Heâd follow you anywhere; he feared abandonment just as much as you did.Â
There was also the fact that you didnât ever need to convince Isaac of anything, but you asked anyway because he liked being asked, liked the pomp and gallantry of being propositionedâwhich is okay. Who doesnât like being wooed?Â
âIâm busy.â
Oh, right. He always pretends heâs not interested at first. He couldnât give himself away that easily. Your baby boy made you earn it. All part of the wooing process.Â
âPut your book down. Aw, come on baby, look at me. Iâm bored! All we do is sit around and worry about whatever supernatural freak wants to kill us next. Letâs just be kids for once. Letâs go on an adventure!â
The tips of his ears turned pink, book-ending the stretch of his smile, and you knew he was game.
âTake me away, then.âÂ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heâd only ever said no to you once, that time you asked him on a whim to take half-naked pictures of you. The electronics store and the lingerie store both said their products were for professionals, and you were sold.
âLook what I got! I just blew all my savings. Can I model for you?âÂ
You were confused when he reeled away. He had scolded you, made you feel like a little kid who had asked one too many times to go to the park.
âAre you insane, [y/n]? I canât believe youâŚ. weâre not even togâthis is wrong.âÂ
When he brought you your favorite flowers the next day (assorted, because all flowers are created equal), he told you why heâd been so upset. The poor kid had a crush on you and Stiles had mentioned something about a friendzone.Â
You couldnât help the laughter that spilled out of your throat, as if you werenât already so in love with Isaac that you spent all your money on a stupid camera and slutty underwear just to show off for him. He let you ghost apologies over his lips.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âStop fussing. Weâre almost there.â
The inside of his wrist felt warm and smooth as you brushed it over your mouth. You promised him today would be fun, today was for lovers.
You drove out to the outskirts of Beacon Hills, where the weather was actually appropriate for Isaacâs scarf. The forest thinned out, which allowed minimal threat of homicidal Alphas and the perfect setting for a carnival.Â
âSeriously? This is your idea of a big adventure?âÂ
For a second, he reverted back to the old Isaac, the fresh-off-the-bite Beta who hid behind sarcasm and leather jackets. The twitch at the corner of his mouth gave away his excitement.Â
âI know, Iâm excited too.âÂ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How did it take you this long to figure out Isaac had a fear of heights?Â
âWell, itâs unnatural for people to be this high up. Weâre not designed for this. What is thisâweâre literally sitting on a giant spinning wheel in the sky! Arenât you scared?â
Heâd waited until you were at the very top of the Ferris wheel to have a panic attack. Things were off to a rocky start.
âWhatâs fear when Iâve got you by my side?âÂ
His mouth formed an âoâ and you think itâs because he genuinely doesnât believe he deserves this, the fuzziness of feeling wanted and revered. And then you remembered The Notebook and The O.C. and all the other die hard romances that unfolded on Ferris wheels.Â
Isaac tangled his fingers with yours and nuzzled your neck.
âDo that thing where you kiss me and I forget the world.âÂ
Ryan Goslingâs got nothing on Isaac.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âYouâre such a child.âÂ
You glared at him with a tuft of cotton candy sticking out of your mouth.Â
âI donât get to do this very often, Lahey, Why the hell isnât it socially acceptable to just eat cotton candy on a regular basis? Like, at the park? At school? During sex?âÂ
Isaac choked on his deep-fried Oreo. You grinned wickedly. âIs that your new kink? Clown sweets?âÂ
âEw, Isaac. You ruined it.â Your nose crinkled with disdain.Â
âGood. Thereâs no way Iâm letting you touch me with pink fur attached to your fingers.âÂ
âOh, so chocolate in bed is acceptable, birthday cake-flavored lube is acceptable, but you draw the line at cotton candy? It doesnât even drip!âÂ
A throng of junior high girls giggled as they walked by. Isaac ducked his head.
âWhat would you even do with it?â he shyly asked.Â
You snorted. âI donât know. I was only kidding, you doughnut. Unless, youâre into it nowâŚâÂ
He rolled his eyes as you fed him a chuck of cotton candy. He chewed behind his frown.Â
You smirked.
âHey, Lahey. You know whatâs sweeter than cotton candy?â
âOh, god. What?â
âYou.â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âDid you have a nice time? Was this okay?âÂ
At the end of the night, you held hands and strolled through the parking lot, overfed and dizzy, but in the best way. You needed this, the horizon of twinkling lights in your path, the smell of sugar and autumn in the air.Â
âIt was perfect, thank you. You made it perfect. I mean it.â
You blushed. âIt was nothing.â
âIâd kiss you, but I vomited twice.â
âI remember vividly, you big bad wolf. You wanna come back next year?âÂ
âYou think weâll make it that long?â
You paused, contemplating the implications of his question. You knew what he was really asking. Would you still be together? Would you even be alive? You only knew one thing for certain and now seemed like the appropriate time to tell him.
âI think weâll be alright. I kinda love you, though. Is that okay? I love you.âÂ
Your first âI love youâ with your first love. Remember to breathe.
Isaac stopped you in the middle of the street.
âI canât⌠I canât say it back with regurgitated funnel cake on my breath,â Isaac pouted. An indelicate snort escaped you. âBut I do. So much. You must know that.âÂ
You beamed because his eyes were brimming with sincerity and he looked so adorable with his hair sticking out wildly in all different directions, curls scattered from the wind. Somehow, this was your life and this was your boy and you let the moment dilute the weight of your troubles.Â
âHey (Y/N) you wanna help Isaac out?â Derek asked and you stopped your search for your brother as you spotted Derek rearranging what looked like a box of chains.
âNo offence I donât think Mr Grey was a werewolf.â You told him and he chuckled.
âYeah but werewolves are better, let me tie Isaac up and show you.â Derek smiled when your eyes widened and you blushed.
âOh wow Derek that was just bad.â Isaac mumbled as he rubbed the back of his head. âBesides, (Y/N0 should be tied up so I can roam freely.â
Hey hey!! Love your blog dude đ Anyway, I was wondering if youâd do a short of Isaac insisting that werewolves donât like being scratched (like dogs; behind the ear, belly etc) but y/n scratches him while heâs sleeping and his leg starts going off đ
Pairing: Isaac Lahey x reader
Rating: Teen for swearing
â[y/n], come get breakfast!â Derek voice blared,
waking you up.
You
dragged your sleepy form out of bed. After washing your face and brushing your
teeth, you joined your pack, not bothering to change out of your pajamas. You
entered the common area, seeing Scott and Liam watching cartoons on the couch, Lydia
on an adjacent chair eating French toast and reading a thick novel. Stiles and
Derek were at the stove, bickering about something while Stiles stirred pancake
mix and Derek flipped.
You
finally spotted your favorite werewolf, Isaac, who was sitting at the minibar,
hunched over a plate of eggs and bacon. Of course heâd be alone, and of course
heâd look adorable with his curly hair slightly in disarray and clad in plaid
pajamas and a white cotton t-shirt. You always had a soft spot for Isaac,
nothing explicitly romantic, but also not inappropriately maternal. Everyone just
has âthat personâ with whom they can share everything and feel safe, and he was
your person. And as proven by your unplanned matching attire, you were kindred
spirits.
âMorning,
sunshine,â you greeted. Isaacâs face shot up, looking at you surprised. He
recovered as he recognized it was you, his mouth stretching into a bright smile.
âMorning,â
he chimed. âSomeoneâs finally up.â
You
rolled your eyes.
âWell, someone had to stay up most of the
night doing research because someone fell
asleep, even though they promised they wouldnât.â You lightly punched his arm.
Isaac
ducked his head, a guilty grin taking form.
âYeahâŚ
sorry about that. How do you make yourself stay up so late, anyway?â
You
shrugged. âI guess Iâm used to it. Tests and papers.â
Isaac
playfully scoffed, mumbling something like âsuch a nerd.â
âWhat
was that?â you piped. Isaac always teased you for being so invested in school,
even though he secretly loved how smart you were.
âNothing!
I just said you looked really pretty today,â he shot you a thousand watt
smile, leaning in closer to you.
You blushed,
trying to mask your visceral reaction with a sarcastic laugh. You nudged him
away with your elbow.
âWhatever,
Lahey. Just eat your eggs.â
âYes,
maâam,â he mocked, resuming his breakfast.
Derek appeared in your
line of vision, knowingly shaking his head at the two of you. Everyone kind of
knew that you and Isaac were a duo, not really ~together~ but always together. You
had a thing. They respected your unique relationship, occasionally making
slides like âstop being grossâ and âmake out already.â
Derek slid a plate of
pancakes in front of you.
âHaving a good morning?â
he asked, the mischievous glint in his eyes implying a double meaning. He eyed
Isaac, then you.
âReally good,â you
replied with a tight smile. âAlmost as good as yours.â
You gestured towards
Stiles, who was now attempting to flip a drippy pancake.
âShit,â Derek muttered,
retreating backwards. âStiles, donât touch that!â Â
You giggled at their
antics, scarfing down a mouthful of pancake. Looking back over at Isaac, a wave
of adoration hit you. You observed his careful movements, delicately using a
fork and knife to cut up his food. You always wondered if the reason why he was
so cautious, so meticulous in his ways was because of his childhood, always
afraid to make a mistake, afraid of his father.
Your body moved of its
own volition, the urge to comfort him overtaking you. You werenât sure how, but
your hand somehow ended up in new territory behind his ear. You moved your
fingers along his hairline, gently scratching the area.
âWhat are you doing?â
Isaac asked, breaking your trance. Amusement and confusion lit his features.
âWhat?â you replied
casually, continuing to move your fingers. After all, it wasnât unusual for you
to touch him affectionately, physical contact a huge component of your
friendship.
âYouâre⌠scratching
behind my ear.â
âYeah, so? Do you not
like it?â You pulled back slowly, embarrassment burning your face.
âI donât exactly mind it,â
he began with a laugh. âBut you know Iâm not a dog, right?â Â
You raised your eyebrow.
âHey, come on,â he
scoffed in feigned annoyance. âWerewolf. Werewolf,â
he enunciated.
You giggled. âI know. I just
thought it would feel niceââ
âWell, you thought wrong,â
he cut you off. âWerewolves arenât dogs, [y/n]. We donât pee everywhere, we donât
like belly rubs, and we donât. Like. Ear. Scratches,â he pouted adorably.
You put your hands up in
surrender. âAlright, alright. No more ear scratches,â you relented, but not
before reaching up to ruffle his hair, laughing. Isaac merely groaned, hiding a
smile in his shoulder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of the day had
gone by smoothly. You were grateful, missing the aesthetic of a Lazy Sunday. The
pack had decided to go out to dinner, leaving you and Isaac alone. You were
both homebodies, preferring to stay in and relax.
You were sitting on the
couch watching Pride and Prejudice, Isaacâs
head resting in your lap. You absentmindedly stroked patterns into his arm
until his body suddenly went limp, his breathing full and even.
Heâd fallen asleep.
Again.
Okay, you actually
sympathized this time. Isaac thought Jane Austen was boring, but it was your
turn to pick the movie, and youâd begged him for weeks to watch it with you. He
had finally agreed before falling asleep twenty minutes into the film. You
sighed, moving your hand away to avoid disturbing him.
But an idea suddenly hit
you, recalling back to this morning when Isaac had said that werewolves didnât
like being scratched behind the ear. You thought back to all the times when you
were a kid and your dog Molly had fallen asleep curled up beside you. Whenever
you scratched her behind her ear, she would always whine softly and nuzzle closer
to you in contentment. Â
With Molly as
inspiration, you slowly placed your fingers behind Isaacâs ear, gently
caressing at first. When he didnât stir, you nudged a little harder, running
your fingernails against the exposed skin.
You froze when Isaac
shifted, curving his body slightly inward. An almost imperceptible âhmmâ broke
through the silence as he burrowed his face into your lap. You took that as
encouragement.
Still scratching, you
used your thumb to graze the shell of his ear, stimulating more of the area.
You passively noted how soft his earlobes were.
And thatâs when it
happened. Isaacâs leg twitched.
You gasped. Had you done
it? Had you just proven Isaac wrong about werewolves? Victory was on your mind.
Your best friend was literally an overgrown puppy in denial.
You maintained your
controlled pace, not straying too long in one area, giving attention to
different sections of his skin. You tried to stifle your laughter as Isaacâs
leg started going off. You covered your mouth with your hand, the other still
stroking him.
Behind you, the front
door opened and the pack filed in, their voices and footsteps filling the air.
âShhh, guys,â you
whispered, turning around with a finger to your lips. They all turned towards
you, approaching you in the living room.
âWhatâs up?â Scott said.
They all stood in a circle, looking down at you and Isaac.
âLook,â you instructed. They
watched silently. You resumed scratching Isaac behind his ear, and on cue, he
started kicking his leg.
Stilesâ snort broke
through the air as he buried his face into Derekâs shoulder, who was smirking
and shaking his head. Liam broke into giggles. Scott hid his smile behind a
fist. Lydia placed her hand over her heart, mouthing âso cute.â
Her support quickly
turned devious as she pulled out her phone to take a video. The rest of the
pack was now doubled over.
âThis is so great,â Scott
huffed through his mirth.
âThis is fucking
hilarious. I know what Iâm doing tonight.â Stiles informed, a little too
loudly. He put his hand on Derekâs shoulder.
Derek glared at him. This
created another uproar of giggles.
âGuys, stop,â you warned
through fits of laughter. âHeâll wake up!â
And he did.
You looked down when you
felt Isaac maneuver in your lap. He looked up at you with wide, confused eyes.
You removed your hand discreetly, smiling down at him.
âHeeey,â you welcomed
cheerily.
Isaac opened his mouth to
respond before he sat up and noticed the roomful of people observing him. The
pack recomposed, panting and wiping their eyes, their faces too red and their
smiles too wide.
âWhat?â Isaac asked, his
brows furrowed. He looked around, then back to you. âWhat did I miss?â
You sucked in through
your nose, looking down at your lap.
âUmm, wellââ
âThis.â Lydia sat down
beside Isaac and handed him her phone. Crap.
Isaac hesitantly took the
object and played the video. You waited for his reaction as you saw his eyes go
wide in the screenâs reflection. After a few seconds, he hung his head,
planting his face into his palms. âFuck me.â
The pack broke character
again, hunching over in guffaw.
âHey, itâs okay,â Stiles taunted.
âEven though Liamâs the youngest, I guess youâre the real runt of the litter.â
âAlright children, letâs
call it a night,â Derek ordered, smiling at you. âThis was great, [y/n]. Made
my night.â
âYeah, seriously,â Scott
approved. You noticed Isaac looking at you from the corner of his eye, his jaw
locked. Scott walked towards Isaac and ruffled his hair fondly, from which
Isaac reeled back, face tinted bright pink. âYouâre the cutest beta there ever
was.â
âI hate all of you,â
Isaac deadpanned, sitting back with his arms crossed over his chest.
âWe love you, too!â Liam
called out en route to his bedroom.
Once everyone had left,
you stood up, yawning and stretching your arms over your head. You looked down
at Isaac, noticing his staring at your exposed midriff, and immediately placed
your arms back down. He looked away rapidly. You stood in front of him.
âWell, I hate to say I
told you soâŚâ
Isaac glared at you.
âWas that really
necessary?â Isaac mumbled.
âA little bit?â you squeaked.
His jaw dropped at your admission. âYou just kept denying the ear thing! And in
my defense, I didnât know that everyone would come back all at once like that.â
âYeah, sure you didnât,â
he jeered. âNow Lydia has a video!â
âSo? Itâs not like sheâll do
anything with it,â you defended. âAnd for the record, I agree with her.â
âAgree with what?â he muttered
looking down, fiddling with his thumbs in his lap. You took a step towards him,
your knees touching his.
âThat youâre cute,â you
spoke softly. He looked up at you, mouth parted. You inhaled at his bewildered
expression. âReally, really cute.â
âReally?â he whispered.
You bit your lip and nodded. Isaacâs mouth formed an âo.â
You regarded him with reverence.
His face looked so soft from the warm light of the fireplace. You reached down
and ran your fingers through his hair, soothing his awe, using your other hand
to cup gently under his jaw.
âLetâs just go to bed,
okay?â you cooed. He nodded into your palm. You released him as he slowly stood
up, eventually towering over you. You were standing a hair width apart, his
breath fanning over your forehead.
He lifted one large hand,
moving the hair away from your shoulder. He leaned over to confess into your
ear.
âI really did like itâŚ
the whole time.â
âI know,â you breathed
against his shoulder.
Isaac chuckled.
âI guess I really am a
dog.â
âNah, youâre more like a
hybrid,â you responded thoughtfully. He cocked his head to the side, silently
questioning you. You chucked at his perplexity before concluding.
âYouâre my werepuppy.â
