Felt like sharing more of what I’m working on, so here’s more from my Steter fic where Stiles takes off with Peter after season 1. @claire-guilty @nogitzune @aurevell @mirrorthoughts @lucky-bishop ,any of you have any projects you’re working on you want to share something from?
“Whoa,” Stiles says looking around their hotel, “This is nice.”
Peter doesn’t think it’s anything particularly special. It’s clean and has two rooms and a kitchenette, but it’s not up to his usual standards. They’re not in a big enough town for the kind of suites he’s used to though, so this will do.
”Glad you like it,” he tells Stiles. “Pick a room. They look identical, so I don’t care which. Shall I order in pizza, or do you want to go out?”
“Ordering in sounds good.”
Stiles disappears into the bedroom to the right after telling Peter what he likes on his pizza, and Peter makes the call for their order before wheeling his suitcase to the other room.
Stiles starts playing something obnoxious on his headphones that sounds like Stomp and Led Zeppelin had a tone deaf musical baby, and Peter rubs his temples.
It’s been a weird day. For someone who prides himself on his planning, this is so far outside any plan he’s made that it makes his head spin a little when he thinks about it. He’s not usually impulsive. He’s always been methodical. When he was thirteen he planned for six months how to get the popular girl to ask him out, and she did, setting Peter on a course of popularity for his entire high school career.
He played a sport and made sure he was an integral part of the team because he knew it meant he’d be far less likely to be punished for anything he got up to in his free time should the school administrators find out. Personally, he’d have rather spent his time in advanced English classes or in the poetry club, but nerds don’t get by with things; athletes do. It might not be fair, but he works with things the way they are, not the way he wishes they could be.
That’s why he never challenged it when Talia was picked for the Alpha. His skills have always lended him well to the position of left hand, and he used that free time, and the distance his pack kept from him, for his own uses. He did things he never would have been able to do had he been in training to be the alpha, and the results have been…lucrative.
Now he’s done this thing he doesn’t understand, but then Stiles has been stopping him in his tracks ever since he first met him, hasn’t he? He’s always been smart enough to be afraid of what Peter could do, but brave enough to defy him anyway. That is intriguing.
