“Yeah…” Scott said with a derpy expression on his face. “But I’m sure you hear that all the time.”

"Do you truly mean that?"

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

As if snapping out of it, Scott flushed. "Oh geeze....I'm sorry. I just...wow...what a weirdo I am. It just looked so soft....now I sound even creepier!"

Rosamund looked down at their hand as they released the strand on her hair, faintly raising a brow. "Are you always so forward?"

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

"You like that?" Scott did a little twirl so his dracula cape billowed around him. "Though I feel like irony was lost on most people."

"Oh that's a bloody clever costume!"

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

"Yeah..." He said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "But I'd much rather compliment you."

"All compliments should be directed to Juliet, I'm afraid. She practically had to force me into one of her dresses."

Me and my Bro

TEEN WOLF 1.01, Wolf Moon

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

Stiles made a face at that. “Oh god… don’t cry. Scott can’t handle tears. Like at all. It’s like he’s going to spontaneously combust or something at the sight of them.” He nodded emphatically. “Like I think his Mom cried once and Scott fell down three flights of stairs. Or wait… no his Dad pushed him. But yeah. Just don’t cry around him okay? That’s like your one job.”

He considered Ollie through narrowed eyes. “And the same applies for you making him cry. He won’t make you cry. So don’t make him cry. Got it?” He took Ollie by the shoulders and gave them a little shake. “That’s it. Loving Scott? That’s easy. Letting him love you? Even easier. Because he’ll do anything for you. Anything.”

“He is sweet!” Scott gushed in agreement. “And like so brave. He’s been through a lot of stuff.” Scott beamed at Tae. His appreciation for him only growing stronger. “Dude… I know. You’d have to be an idiot not to see that so I don’t know why Stiles is being so stubborn about it. I guess he doesn’t trust himself anymore. You know. After Derek.” He sighed at that, a frown on his face. “Look i know i don’t know everything about that mess. Because he didn’t tell me. But i think he’ll tell you. You know? Get him to talk? Please? I don’t need to know. I just want him to be okay.”

Ollie giggles at the way Scott puffed out his chest and grins at the shirt for him. "I love it." He beams as he takes it from the wolf before Scott bolted over to tackle Tae leaving him alone with Stiles. "Um thank you." He says a bit shyly, cheeks flushed from embarrassment. "I don't mind, it's kind of sweet. I've never really had anyone do anything special for my birthday. Alpha Joon got me a cake a couple of times after I came to stay with them but I've never like had a party or anything. It's nice." He says softly as he admires the shirt for a moment before squeaking and flushing again when Stiles put the hat on his head. "Thank you." He giggles "Are you like gonna give me the best friend speech?"

Tae should have been prepared to be tackled by Scott since Stiles told him how happy go lucky his best friend was. It kind of reminded him of Manny, one of the Shadowhunters that transferred in a bit before he and Jia did. He just wasn't prepared for how strong Scott was, which he supposed was a misstep on his part considering the teenager was a wolf shifter and all. He let out a soft grunt before chuckling as he gave the young wolf a hug. "It's nice to finally meet you, Scott. Red has told me so much about you the past few years." He grins.

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

Stiles was staring off at Scott and Tae but nodded at Ollie's words. "Yeah. That's what Scott said. But...honestly. Scott adopts everyone regardless so....he obviously really does like you." Stiles narrowed his eyes at him, then glanced an eye back at Scott. "Do you need me to?" He asked. "Because....dude....the girl he dated last year was a hunter. Yeah. Like a shifter hunter. Her whole damn family wanted him dead. So no....I think you are relatively harmless to him. I mean technically you could verbally hurt him. But then he just kind of looks like a kicked puppy and unless you are really into that sort of thing you likely wouldn't like it much. And never do it again. Or....his Mom will come after you. And honestly, bro. His Mom is really sort of scary. So yeah. I'm the last person you need to be worried about." He spread his hands like, there you have it. Our little family in a nutshell. "Course...my Dad has a gun." He scratched his cheek with a nail. "But Mrs. McCall sleeps with a bat. So...I guess it just depends."

Scott pulled back from Tae, a beaming smile on his face. "Dude. Stiles was right. You are totally hot and stuff. But like don't worry. I'm not going to molest you or anything. Besides...." He trailed off casting a glance over Ollie's way. "Kinda into someone else, you know?" But then attention was back on Tae. "So like...I need to tell you some stuff. 1. Don't let him push you away. He's totally scared right now. Scared makes him spazzier then normally so just you know.,...ask him if he's taken enough adderall if it gets too crazy. 2. I'm trusting you. I'm trusting you to take better care of him then Derek did. And I know you know about Derek because you've known Stiles for a while. And 3. Get to know his Dad. He's like the most important person in Stiles life. And protecting him. Is like the one thing you can do that will mean more to Stiles than anything else ever will. Okay?" He patted Tae on the shoulder.

Ollie giggles at the way Scott puffed out his chest and grins at the shirt for him. "I love it." He beams as he takes it from the wolf before Scott bolted over to tackle Tae leaving him alone with Stiles. "Um thank you." He says a bit shyly, cheeks flushed from embarrassment. "I don't mind, it's kind of sweet. I've never really had anyone do anything special for my birthday. Alpha Joon got me a cake a couple of times after I came to stay with them but I've never like had a party or anything. It's nice." He says softly as he admires the shirt for a moment before squeaking and flushing again when Stiles put the hat on his head. "Thank you." He giggles "Are you like gonna give me the best friend speech?"

Tae should have been prepared to be tackled by Scott since Stiles told him how happy go lucky his best friend was. It kind of reminded him of Manny, one of the Shadowhunters that transferred in a bit before he and Jia did. He just wasn't prepared for how strong Scott was, which he supposed was a misstep on his part considering the teenager was a wolf shifter and all. He let out a soft grunt before chuckling as he gave the young wolf a hug. "It's nice to finally meet you, Scott. Red has told me so much about you the past few years." He grins.

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

Scott beamed at Ollie, puffing out his chest to show him his shirt better. "Oh! I got one for you too!" He told him, pulling it out and presenting him with it.

Stiles rolled his eyes, casting a side glance at Tae. "There's one for you too." He gestured to himself. "Like this."

Scott was too busy smiling derpily at Ollie he forgot his manners. "OH!" He cried. "You're Tae!" He exclaimed, launching himself at the nephilim.

Stiles jerked out of the way so he didn't get pummeled too as his best friend tackled his boyfriend. Because honestly, Stiles supposed that's exactly what Tae was at this point. He sighed heavily before dutily turning to Ollie. "Well...Happy Birthday." He told him gravely. "I should inform you that birthdays are kind of a big deal for Scott. So yes. He is expecting you to put on that shirt. And wear it with pride." Then he pointed at the balloons. "You will also be required to carry those around all day. And..." He produced a hat and snapped it onto Ollie's head. Only this hat said 'Birthday Boy'. "Welcome to the Pack."

Tar wasn't usually the going out type. He preferred to stay at home and read but since he and Stiles started dating and talking, Tae found himself going on new adventures and it was honestly not that bad. Tae brought Stiles along sometimes on his missions, even letting him help find a lost hell hound with him and Jia just last week. To say he was enjoying the time he was spending with the younger man would be an understatement. So when Jia left to go spend time with the mystery man he had yet to tell him about, Tae jumped at the opportunity to hang out with Stiles again when he texted him about meeting Scott and Scott's new love interest.

Tae made his way to Lincoln Park and noticed a shy looking man standing just outside of the entrance. He looked nervous and a little jumpy so he didn't want to startle him. "Hey are you ok? You look lost. Can I help you with anything?" He asks and the shifter jumped and let out a little squeak before flushing. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"No no sorry, I just get a little jumpy when I'm anxious. I'm actually here to meet the guy I like and his best friend. I'm a little nervous because I want his best friend to like me since he's important to Scott." Ollie says.

"Oh you're the guy Scott is talking to? I'm Tae, I'm talking to and dating his best friend. We are actually headed the same place. Want to walk with me?" Tae asks with a smile and Ollie nods.

"Ollie, I'm Ollie. Scott has mentioned you since you make his best friend happy. It's nice to meet you." Ollie smiles, relaxing around the shadowhunter as they walk further into the park looking for Scott and Stiles.

"It's nice to meet you too Ollie." Tae smiles before spotting Stiles across the park. "Oh, they are over by the water. Let's go."

A few minutes later they finally reached their destination and Ollie watched as Tae kissed Stiles's cheek before he turned to Scott and giggles.

"What are you wearing?" Ollie giggles "It's cute."

Double Date - Ollie's B-Day Celebration

Stiles looked dubiously at Scott who held a bouquet of colorful happy birthday balloons, wore a Birthday Squad t-shirt, a party hat on his head, and a noise maker between his teeth. "Dude..."

Scott spit out the noisemaker into his free hand and exclaimed, "It's Ollie's birthday today! You totally have to."

"I totally have to do nothing." Stiles announced with a nod. "I don't even know the guy. Plus! I'm not even pack. So therefore I am not obligated to do packey things like celebrate birthdays. Plus! I kind of already have plans today. So..."

"Stiles!" Scott whined. "You can meet him now. You are honorary pack, Adam even said so. And Tae can come with us!" He argued, bouncing past Stiles into his friend's apartment he shared with his father. Not bothering to wait for him to actually invite him in. It was just understood anyway.

Stiles sputtered indignantly as he padded after Scott. "Hey!" He flailed. "I do other things besides hang out with Tae you know! I could be like you know....doing important things. Like I could be helping a mysterious hag find her lost hellhound or something!"

Busying himself with unloading his bookbag, Scott rolled his eyes. "Dude...that quest ended like three weeks ago. And you found it. It was wreaking havoc in a pen of pigeons." Then he stopped, frowning. Turning back towards Stiles he raised an expectant brow. "Who even keeps a pen full of pigeons, Stiles?"

He opened his mouth to speak only it just hung open in astonishment for a moment. Though Scott couldn't be sure what it was that actually astonished his best friend. The question or maybe the fact that Scott had actually been following his ramblings about the stupid side quest in the first place. Finally, he closed his mouth. Then straightened up. "A scraggly old wizard, Scott." He said in an exasperated tone. "How else do they send messages to each other? Carrier pigeons."

Scott brandished a Birthday Squad t-shirt for Stiles as well, and presented it to him. "There's one for Tae too." He told him gleefully.

"He's not coming!" Stiles exploded, flailing about like a crazy person. "He has an actual job, Scott. A job. You know? Where he fights demons and other creepy crawly things. Walking the streets in his leather pants and vest and ugh...you know what?" He was pink in the face before he could even finish that line of thought. "It doesn't matter what he's doing because the point is, he's not coming! Why would he come hang with a bunch of teenagers?"

Scott could only grin at his friend. Because Stiles had it so bad for Tae. And Scott loved that for his friend. He'd been with him through the whole Derek situation. Tae seemed cool, chill, indulgent on Stiles quirky traits. The ones that Derek would try to force down and out of sight. It was nice. And while Scott hadn't officially met Tae yet, he liked him. Because Stiles liked him. Stiles didn't tend to like people as easily as he did. So that said something.

"What are you smiling about?" Stiles demanded, narrowing his eyes at him.

Scott tossed the shirt at him. "Because....Tae will come because you ask him to. Has he ever told you no about anything? Besides, he could probably use an evening of teenage fun anyway. And...you like him. You are practically dating even though I don't know why you are fighting it so hard. The two of you like each other. That's okay, Stiles. It's all okay. Here...Chicago...the pack....Tae....its all okay. We aren't running from anything anymore."

There was a stunned silence for a moment. Because, Stiles tended to forget how reasonable Scott could be about things. His things specifically. He swiped the shirt out of his hands and stalked to the bathroom to get changed.

Scott grinned after him. "Don't forget to text Tae!" He hollered after him. Pulling out his own phone to text Ollie. To ask him to meet them at Lincoln Park.

*-*

Stiles had brightened up considerably by the time they'd gotten to the park. Had even let Scott put him in a party hat. Scott guessed it was because Tae had agreed to join them, but he wasn't for sure. And Stiles wasn't telling him apparently.

Scott felt high on life. He usually did when he got to do something special for someone. Ollie in particular deserved to have something special done for him, for sure. Plus, he really wanted Ollie and Stiles to meet. Because they were both important to him. And then Tae was important to Stiles. So. It all made perfect sense to him.

"Dude! But like...wouldn't it be cool if he just like somehow got some num-chuks?"

"Crap, I can't get this code right. The character keeps walking in circles."

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

Scott frowned a little. “Yeah.. but like I’m always worried about squishing him on accident.” It was short-lived though. Because the image of Ollie cuddling mouse Bryce was so freaking cute he almost died. “You should totally do it sometime. I feel like he never gets enough cuddles. He was like seriously abused in his old pack. Like really bad. It’s why he’s so skittish and scared of like everything.” Scott bumped shoulders with Ollie. “I’m sure though if you really wanted a pet Adam would let you have one. And if he didn’t, Jules would make him. I think like Ben has a pet bunny somewhere. But he’s trying to train it to eat meat. A carnivorous bunny he says.” Scott considered the thought of Ben for a moment, the the thought of Ollie being in the same room as him. “I’d steer clear of Ben for a while.” He said, nodding. “Until you get more settled. He won’t hurt you but.. he’s like really mean sometimes.”

“Yeah…” Scott sighed. What happened between Stiles and Derek had been painful. But Scott couldn’t help but think that Derek didn’t understand his friend. Not really. And for Stiles, that was hard. Because he’d never pretended to be anything that he’s not. “I guess that kind of love complicates things. But like … I’ve always just thought love should be easier than all that. I guess Stiles realized that too.” Having Ollie confirm that Tae was a good person helped Scott immeasurably. He gave the fox a grateful smile.

“Yeah. That’s him.” Scott nodded. “Dude it was intense. The whole pack house was in chaos. Like Adam’s rage was like woah.” Then he considered that. Somehow able to imagine his Mom in that situation. “I guess it’s like a parental thing? I don’t know. My Dad has always been sort of…” He shrugged. “But you don’t have parents right? Like you did but like… they aren’t good people? Well… I’m glad you are here now though. Really glad.”

"Yeah." Ollie laughs nervously, the Wolf's friendly demeanor making him relax a little. "I'm just a little nervous. I haven't been around so many different shifters in a long time. It's a little overwhelming."

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

“Dude! You are like the best!” He cried, rubbing his face against his new pack-mate. Scott loved being a part of the Chicago Pack. There were just so many people there. Scott was an affectionate person by nature. So he fit in well. Even Stiles was warming up to it.

At the Pack House

"I admit I haven't really met much of the pack except Josie, we work together." Micah admits. "But hello, I'm Micah."

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

Scott beamed at her. “Not really.” He said. “Things are pretty good right now. Well mostly.”

“I mean. I think Stiles has a boyfriend. But he hasn’t really said so. So that’s kinda hard.”

"I mean....maybe?"

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

Scott made a comforting sound. “I heard you didn’t have a real family.” He said softly, his heart in his eyes. “But like you totally have one now. Pack is like having your entire extended family in like one place.” He told him with a nod: “I had like a pack of three before here and it was like nothing like this. Adam is like everyone’s Dad. Like he just takes care of everybody. And Jules is the Mom. And like I have parents but it’s different. Right? Like my Mom is totally a badass. She has to be. But she’s so much happier now. Because she knows Adam is taking care of me. And it frees her up to have a life outside of me.” He made a cooing sound at the idea of Ollie cuddling little mouse, Bryce. “Dude…. You should totally do that. Like for real.”

Scott just grinned at him. “Right. Stiles. Stiles is his boyfriend. Or at least I’m assuming so. Stiles isn’t exactly specific all the time. Or makes sense. But yeah… Tae.”

“Dude!” Scott clapped his shoulder. “Kyle Brooks? You should have seen man.. he just like came in and totally gave Adam a verbal smack down! And Adam totally wasn’t even mad about it. It was so cool.”

"Yeah." Ollie laughs nervously, the Wolf's friendly demeanor making him relax a little. "I'm just a little nervous. I haven't been around so many different shifters in a long time. It's a little overwhelming."

[not-a-bitey-wolf]

“Oh totally sweet!” Scott said with a sagely nod. “But like you have to be careful with him. Because he shifts like really easily and stuff. Adam has been working with him on it but like he sneezes and it’s like POOF little tiny mouse. Then you have to be like careful to not squish him.”

Scott laughed. A deep belly sound. “No way dude. He’s like my brother.” He sobered up after a moment, nudging him with his knee. “Yeah. He’s like totally into him. And he hasn’t been into someone like that for a while.” He frowned a little, thinking about Derek. “He got like hurt and stuff. Not like physically. But like emotionally.” He didn’t continue on with that topic because well that was between him and Stiles. “But you totally missed the show! A nephilim showed up here a few weeks ago. Trying to tell Adam what to do. He like lost it. Adam did. Almost killed him. I think he’s actually like Jessie’s boyfriend or something.”

"Yeah." Ollie laughs nervously, the Wolf's friendly demeanor making him relax a little. "I'm just a little nervous. I haven't been around so many different shifters in a long time. It's a little overwhelming."
