Stiles: So do I look cool now?

Cora: [she smirks] The sling doesn't really work for you, I don't think.

Stiles: At least it's not strapped to my body.

Cora: That is true.

Stiles: And I can walk again.

Cora: Definite bonus.

Stiles: I may be allowed out soon on day trips.

Cora: Yeah?

Stiles: Yup. Field trip to the zoo.

Cora: Are there limits on where you can go?

Stiles: No overnighter and like nothing strenuous so no amusement parks.

Cora: But if we go somewhere like a hotel for the day where we can be alone ... [and not for sex but just for relaxing without prying eyes]

Stiles: We can see. Won't know until we ask.

Cora: [she nods] Because I don't necessarily want other people around. I just want to be alone with you.

Stiles: I will never say no to being alone with you.

Cora: Good. I would hope so.

Stiles: We could just go to my place. I can ask dad if we can be alone.

Cora: Or we could just hole up in my room with a do not disturb sign on the door.

Stiles: I'm supposed to avoid stairs.

Cora: Never mind then.

Stiles: Sorry. Can't risk falling.

Cora: It's fine.

Stiles: So where then?

Cora: Your house works.

Stiles: Hopefully we can get out without a home study.

Cora: [fingers crossed]

Stiles: [and they go to ask and he's allowed to go]

Cora: [and there's hemming and hawing but eventually they say yes?]

Stiles: [yup. Freedom!!!!!?]

Cora: [freedom!!!!! and they will head back to Stiles' house while the sheriff is at work for the day]

Stiles: [sheriff will bring them lunch] So we're alone now.

Cora: We are. [and she'll make her way over to the couch and tug at him gently to come with her] C'mere.

Stiles: Be gentle with the Stiles or they won't let you take me out again.

Cora: I will be very gentle. Come here.

Stiles: [and he goes to her] God I miss being with you.

Cora: I miss you too. [and they will find a comfortable position for them to lie down without her disturbing his arm]

Stiles: [lots of pillows] So how was your week?

Cora: It was good. The shifts were a little crazy so that I could have today free, but it was pretty quiet.

Stiles: I hope I'm worth it.

Cora: Always.

Stiles: Good. [and he will kiss her]

Cora: [kisses him back, content to sink into that for a while]

Stiles: [mmmmm yeah he missed this]

Cora: [so has she. but she'll keep it innocent for now, just soaking in being close to him]

Stiles: [he will enjoy it, getting cozy and sleepy after a while]

Cora: [smiles as she brushes a hand against the top of his head] I'm gonna have to take you back soon.

Stiles: Don't wanna go.

Cora: I don't want you to go either. But according to your doctor I can't keep you yet.

Stiles: Okay. [sighs]

Cora: [leans in to kiss him again] C'mon. I'll take you back and we can do this again next weekend.

Stiles: Promise?

Cora: Promise.
