canon au } { post-s4, of dressing up and first dates

[impetere]

Stiles: [and after bringing flowers to the cemetery, and then talking Scott through his plans, Stiles debated on how dressed up he was going to get. Finally, he settled on a dressy casual and went to drive the jeep to pick up Cora]

Cora: [after some girl talk with Buffy that also included some mom talk which I will be writing up shortly, Cora is ready when Stiles gets there and emerges in this dress: with a cardigan on top. Buffy helped her with hair and make up too, so while it's not a massive amount of make up, it's definitely fancier than he's ever seen her. She smiles when she sees him before making her way down and climbing into the jeep] Hi.

Stiles: I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm waiting for my girlfriend. [teasing]

Cora: [rolls her eyes as she puts her overnight bag in the back seat] Shut up.

Stiles: [grins and leans over to open her door, and then to get a kiss once she's in the car] You look amazing.

Cora: [smiles a bit into the kiss] So do you.

Stiles: [grins, and then holds out a tiny teddy bear holding a fresh red rose] Happy Valentine's Day.

Cora: [laughs a bit as she takes it] Thank you. Happy Valentine's Day to you too.

Stiles: So movie and pizza order?

Cora: Yes. Did you have something in mind for the movie? [she settles the bear in her lap that is totally going back to school with her]

Stiles: ... We could watch the Notebook?

Cora: [there's a beat] Do you actually want to watch The Notebook?

Stiles: [thinks] I don't know. We were just told it's like one of the most romantic movies of all times...

Cora: I've seen it. I don't need to see it again.

Stiles: Okay. Um, then we can just see what's at the redbox. Or Netflix?

Cora: [nods] Sounds good.

Stiles: Though we are all dressed up. You sure you don't want to eat the pizza at the place?

Cora: It's up to you. If you don't think we'll be too overdressed?

Stiles: Nah. If anyone says anything, we can just act like they have no idea what they are talking about.

Cora: [nods] Then let's go.

Stiles: [grins, and drives them to the Pizza, Pasta and Things like pizza place, and they get a booth] So now it's a real date.

Cora: [she grins at him, leaning back in the booth] Have we ever had an actual date?

Stiles: ...... [tries to think] Not a date date.

Cora: So this is both our first Valentine's and our first date. We're having a lot of firsts tonight.

Stiles: Yeah. Though luckily one of the things is so not our first, which makes it all better.

Cora: True. [she waits for the waiter to come and take their order, before swallowing and straightening a bit. She's trying not to look nervous, but there's still part of her that's worried she did the wrong thing by saying no earlier] So how was the cemetery?

Stiles: Nice. Dad got mom a bouquet of roses. Pretty sure they'll be gone by tomorrow. Someone likes to give cemetery flowers to others.

Cora: [makes a face] That's awful.

Stiles: [scratches his nose] Yeah, but that doesn't stop us from leaving them. Dad says if someone wants flowers that bad, Mom would want them to have them.

Cora: [nods, playing with the table cloth between her fingers] I'm sorry about ... before. I just wasn't expecting it.

Stiles: Hey, no it's fine. [he reaches over to cover her hand with his] I really totally forgot I told Dad I would go with him.

Cora: [nods as she turns her hand over to take is] It's good that you guys can do that.

Stiles: You know, if you want... we could do something for your Mom too.

Cora: [glances up and pauses for a moment] She doesn't have ... Derek and Laura didn't bury her. They didn't have anything to bury. [so there's nowhere they can go. she really doesn't understand how all of this works]

Stiles: That doesn't matter. You can still have a place for her. Maybe a place she liked to go with you? Or a part of the preserve that she loved? We can get a little bench or memorial thingie to put there for her where you guys can go when you want to talk to her.

Cora: [her eyes cloud a bit and she shrugs] Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I'd have to talk to Derek and Laura.

Stiles: Peter may actually be willing to help too.

Cora: [nods, her free hand playing with the tablecloth again. talking about her mom still wasn't easy for her, which is part of the reason that Buffy may be right about what she said earlier] I was thinking though, that when we go to meet your mom? Maybe I should introduce you to mine too.

Stiles: [smiles] I'd like that.

Cora: [a small smile back] Okay.

Stiles: [and he's going to squeeze her hand, and then hey look, pizza!]

Cora: [yep, pizza and they talk about much happier things for the rest of their date]

Stiles: [and then they get to head home and Sheriff has left Cora a little box of chocolates and a Valentine’s Day card on the kitchen table]

Cora: [grins a bit when she sees it before going to look at the card] Your dad is really sweet.

Stiles: Yeah, he has a habit of that. He also got one for Scott's mom. It's kinda something he does.

Cora: [nods before turning back to him] It's nice. [and it helps reinforce the fact that he actually likes her, rather than just being Stiles’ werewolf girlfriend]

Stiles: So.... do we still want to watch that movie?

Cora: [takes a deep breath as she takes a step forward to slide her arms around his neck] Depends. What are the odds we'll start making out halfway through?

Stiles: I'd say pretty high since I haven't seen you in almost a month and I've been pretty much thinking about you naked on my bed all afternoon which is very awkward when you're with your dad.

Cora: [grins a bit before leaning in to kiss him] So maybe we should skip the movie, and you should work on getting me out of this dress.

Stiles: I'm all for that plan. [and he's going to kiss her back before guiding her up to his room]

Cora: [follows his lead, keeping the kiss for as long as she can, even as they're moving]

Stiles: [and once they are there, he'll shut the door and unfasten his bowtie] So, how did she get you into that thing?

Cora: I asked for the dress, if that's what you're wondering.

Stiles: No, I was wondering if it's a pull over or a hidden zipper... I mean it looks like it's just painted on you.

Cora: Oh. [she turns her back to him so that he can undo it] There's a zipper.

Stiles: [and he's going to go and help her, taking his time lowering the zipper and kissing along her shoulder as he does so]

Cora: [closes her eyes and tips her head to the side, one hand resting against her stomach to keep the dress up. The straps slip down her shoulders and once he's done she lets the dress drop down to the floor, leaning back against him more]

Stiles: [and he's going to kiss that spot on her neck he knows she likes, his hands sliding around the front of her body, sliding along her hands first, and then up to cup her breasts]

Cora: [her breath catches as his hand slides up arching slightly into his hands and shivers a little as his fingers brush over her nipples] I missed you so much.

Stiles: I miss you too, every day. I keep counting down the days to spring break.

Cora: Me too. [she shifts a bit, turning around to face him as her fingers move to the buttons of his shirt] There are some nights where the only thing I want is to wake up to you being there.

Stiles: Funny, same here. Good thing we're going to get that tomorrow then. [and he will cup her face and kiss her, helping her get his shirt off]

Cora: [leans eagerly into the kiss, pushing off his shirt and pants before tugging him back towards the bed]

Stiles: [follows, laying her down on the bed and curling up next to her, keeping Cora nice and close]

Cora: [sighs as she leans into his touch, letting her hands wander over his shoulders as she pulls him in to her. Eventually she breaks the kiss, letting her lips slowly wander down to brush against his jaw and down his neck]

Stiles: [he pulls back a moment to look at her at that, his fingers running along her cheek] Cora... When you think about me... what do you feel?

Cora: [her brow furrows for a moment, looking back at him] What do you mean?

Stiles: When you're in Berkley, and you think about me... what do you feel inside of here? [his hand went to press against her chest]

Cora: [it passes from confusion to understanding to worry after a moment, one hand coming to rest over his] Kind of like an ache?

Stiles: Like you don't know how you can make it through the day without me there?

Cora: [pauses for a moment, before nodding] Yeah. It's usually when I call you.

Stiles: Yeah, ever since you went back to school... I've noticed that I feel that way too. That I don't want to be without you.

Cora: [the worry is still there, and her thumb brushes against the back of his hand gently] It must be a side effect.

Stiles: I was talking to my dad about it... and he told me that he used to feel that way too about my mom when he was in the academy. He said that's how he knew she was the only one for him.

Cora: I don't want anybody else.

Stiles: Neither do I. And I know we said we'd wait but I... I was never really good with waiting.

Cora: [her brow furrows again] What do you mean?

Stiles: If you want to bite me... you don't have to hold back. [he smiled a bit] I want it. I want you. Forever.

Cora: [pushes up, a little alarmed] Stiles, I don't know. I mean ... it's not that I don't want to, I do but ... it's a big deal.

Stiles: I know. I'm pretty well aware it's a big deal. I wouldn't be bringing it up if I didn't think it was.

Cora: [watches him for a moment, before nodding] Let me think about it. [she promised Peter she'd wait until after school and it was one she intended to keep, but sometimes when she's with him her jaw aches with it] I just ... some of the side effects aren't something we should brush off.

Stiles: Okay. I mean, it's only three more months until you're out for the summer. We can handle it

Cora: [she nods once before her hands come up to cup his face] I do want it. And you. [she needs him to believe that because even though she's saying no, she's not rejecting him]

Stiles: [puts his hands on hers and smiles] I know. And I want you too.

Cora: [she smiles back before pulling him in for another kiss, letting it deepen slowly as she leans back into the pillows again]

Stiles: [and that's probably the last words he'll speak for a while, using his lips in a lot more interesting ways]

Cora: [yes. much more interesting and she'll let her hands do a lot more wandering. that wandering includes pulling off the last of the layers between them, and one flopping around for where he left the condoms]

Stiles: [and once he's done taking his time kissing her over her entire body, he will help her get that condom on and then kiss her as he slowly pressed up inside of her]

Cora: [she moans softly as he enters her, wrapping her legs around his waist to pull him in closer]

Stiles: [and he's going to kiss along her lips and jaw, then neck as he takes his time making love to his girlfriend]

Cora: [eventually she will do the same, her lips wandering down his neck as she gets closer to the edge, letting her teeth graze lightly against his skin]

Stiles: [and knowing what his GF needs, his hand slips between them to rub her nub, helping her keep pace with him as he's about to fall over the edge]

Cora: [with the extra help, it's not much longer before she's tipping over that edge, human teeth sinking into his shoulder as she does]

Stiles: [and he gives a throaty cry, tilting his head to give her more access as his orgasm explodes in his body, and he crumples against her a moment later]

Cora: [she sighs softly as she leans back against the bed, keeping her legs around him and close. as she relaxes, her fingers trace over his skin, drawing small shapes against his back]

Stiles: [he's going to nuzzle against her cheek, kissing her lazily] God I love you.

Cora: [smiles widely] I love you too. Happy Valentine's Day.

Stiles: Happy Valentine’s Day. [kisses her] Thank you for coming home to spend it with me.

Cora: There's nowhere else I'd rather be.

Stiles: [and he's going to snuggle up against her more, happy and sated]

Cora: [she will curl into him as well, using her foot to nudge the blanket up over them so they can just curl up and not have to move]
