canon au } { post-s4, of sisters and boyfriends

[impetere]

[And later that night, Cora climbs in Stiles’ window and mentions the fact that her sister has come back from the dead, much to Stiles’ confusion.]

Cora: She got better.

Stiles: ... How do you get better from being cut in half?!

Cora: I don't know. We don't know how yet, but ... it's her.

Stiles: And you're sure it's really her her?

Cora: [nods a bit] Yeah. Derek is, anyway. He knows her scent better than I do.

Stiles: So... this is a good thing, right?

Cora: [she takes a breath before nodding] Yeah. I mean, until we find out it's something awful, it's ... really good.

Stiles: Great, then it's a good thing and we're happy about it. [nods, smiling]

Cora: [smiles a bit as well] Is it weird that I'm nervous around her? In some ways it's like Derek all over again.

Stiles: No, it's not weird. But you at least have Derek to help guide you with it this time. He had all that time with Laura too, right? Totally mediator.

Cora: [she nods in agreement] I know. It just feels really ... surreal, almost.

Stiles: Yeah, I get it. But I mean, you get something not a lot of people get. So no, you need to go and spend all the time with her and get to catch up.

Cora: [she's sitting cross-legged on his bed, her hands playing with his for a moment] I haven't figured out how to tell her about you yet.

Stiles: Well, all you have to do is tell her that you have a very human boyfriend who takes good care of you and is easily breakable and Derek's already taken care of the death threats if I hurt you.

Cora: [she nods] I know. It's just ... when she last saw me I was just a kid.

Stiles: Well, same with Derek. You two caught up quickly.

Cora: Yeah, but I didn't already have a boyfriend then.

Stiles: A caring and protective and good to you boyfriend. Remember, those qualifiers are important.

Cora: [she smirks as she nods, before pulling him closer] Who totally doesn't see me naked at all.

Stiles: Nope. I keep my eyes closed whenever you take your clothes off.

Cora: And doesn't touch me when I'm naked either.

Stiles: Always something between my fingers and your body.

Cora: [leans in and kisses him softly] And you definitely don't do other things to me either.

Stiles: [enjoys that kiss a moment first] Don't even think about it.

Cora: [and she's just going to keep kissing him as she speaks] We're like monks.

Stiles: Well, I'm more like a Jedi, but yeah.

Cora: [she just hums in agreement as she leans forward, shifting so that she's moving over him more as she's kissing him]

Stiles: [and he's just going to enjoy all that kissing. because kissing is not being naked or touching, even if he actually is thinking about her being and doing]

Cora: [yep. So is she, because she rather enjoys him being naked and touching him too. But for right now, they're keeping the clothes on]

Stiles: [and he's just going to roll them onto the bed, laying side by side so they can keep with this kissing and be comfortable]

Cora: [yep, this is good. She's missed him, even if it hasn't been that long, but it feels like there hasn't been much time for this at all lately. at least not without bad things in the back of their mind.]

Stiles: [and as if reading her mind] Maybe now we can have a few months of normal life?

Cora: Maybe. We can just worry about us for a while.

Stiles: I like just being us for a while. [grins]

Cora: [grins back] Me too. And we can just worry about stuff like getting you into Berkeley.

Stiles: Which is totally a goal of mine.

Cora: Yes, because the sooner you do, the sooner I can ask Dawn about the apartment.

Stiles: Yeah, and then you get to tell both your siblings that we're moving in together in the fall. Have fun with that. [smirks]

Cora: But if Dawn says yes, she'll help.

Stiles: And help is always good.

Cora: Yes. She can break it to Derek gently. When I'm over here, a safe distance away.

Stiles: And I'm not even in the same zip code.

Cora: [smirks a bit] I'd protect you from Derek.

Stiles: I'm sure you will. But still, I mean, totally need that safeguard.

Cora: I don't think running from him is going to save you.

Stiles: I'll bring my bat?

Cora: That will at least delay the inevitable.

Stiles: I mean, he has to get that eventually we may, you know, like stay together forever, right?

Cora: Yeah. But I'm still his baby sister, and we're technically still teenagers.
