new york wolves } { of days off and friend dates

[impetere]

Hal: [meanwhile he was at a Stanley Cup game because a few of the players were managed by them and they had a box and he was expected to go and he is exhausted when he got home at three in the morning and collapsed right next to her in his pants and undershirt because getting undressed was just too hard]

Alexis: [what exciting lives they lead. to be honest, the only reason Alexis is in her pajamas is because she was in the pediatric ward and those days are usually gross, but eventually her body will tell her no more sleep, and she will start to rouse with a groan]

Hal: [and he will groan from the bed next to her, still face down but his head under his pillow because he was slightly hung over from the beers and cheering and stuff]

Alexis: [glances over at him with a small smile, before curling in closer. her body can make her be awake, but it can't make her get out of bed]

Hal: [it will take his body a moment to realize that his wife is curling into him, and not slipping out of bed at oh god o'clock, and he will peek out from under the pillow] You're awake.

Alexis: My body vetoed me.

Hal: My body currently hates me.

Alexis: Yours and mine both.

Hal: Why does your body hate me?

Alexis: I meant that mine hates me.

Hal: [and he will bring his head out from under the pillow, smiling at her] Well, I happen to love your body, so your brain can take a hike.

Alexis: I'm glad someone appreciates me.

Hal: [and he will wrap his arms around her and pull her closer] I always appreciate you. [and that will be a kiss. Sorry Alexis, he tastes like beer, nachos, and dragon's breath]

Alexis: [and she will kiss him back, but eventually it becomes too much and she has to pull back] Okay, no, you need to brush your teeth.

Hal: [laughs] Yeah, sorry about that.

Alexis: I have put up with a lot of your morning breath, but this is probably the worst.

Hal: Hey, your breath in the morning isn't perfect either. [but he's smiling, teasing]

Alexis: [she laughs] I know that. But I'm pretty sure I don't taste like rancid beer and nachos to boot.

Hal: So you're going to make me get out of bed and brush my teeth to be able to stay in bed with you?

Alexis: In this instance, yes.

Hal: [groans but he goes to get up, stretching as he does so] Don't tell the people at work this, but I have never been so happy to have the Rangers lose the playoff race.

Alexis: [she laughs] Your secret is safe with me.

Hal: [and he will go to brush his teeth, which will wake him up a bit, and he will try and talk as he does it from the bathroom] So how was work?

Alexis: I don't want to be a pediatrician.

Hal: Tired of sniffles?

Alexis: Sick kids make me sad.

Hal: [give him a minute as he gargles aaaaaaaand] But you help make them feel better, right?

Alexis: Yeah. But ... I don't think I could handle it if I couldn't. Sick adults, you know that they at least lived long enough to make their own choices and do some living, but with kids ... I don't think I'd be able to handle it.

Hal: [and he will lean in the doorway, his overshirt off because he got toothpaste on it, so he's just in his pants now, scruffy and disheveled] Yeah, I can see how that'd be hard.

Alexis: [she nods, before giving him a small smile] But I don't want to think about medical stuff today.

Hal: [and his brain finally figured out where they are in the scheme of the world] This is our mutual day off isn't it?

Alexis: We did it. We made it happen.

Hal: And no last-minute call ins or ball games.

Alexis: Nope. We could literally just lay here all day if we wanted to.

Hal: We'd probably get hungry after a while. I already could use a cup of coffee. I've got a killer hangover from last night.

Alexis: So do you want to go get breakfast then?

Hal: Don't we have stuff here I can make?

Alexis: I have no idea, I haven't looked in the fridge in days.

Hal: Let me go see. [and he will head out into the kitchen in their tiny apartment and then shout back] We have week old Chinese leftovers and a case of beer.

Alexis: [she wrinkles her nose] Yeah, let's go out for food.

Hal: We could hit that little bistro we found down in the village.

Alexis: Yes. I'll put pants on.

Hal: I've already got mine. [but he will come back to find a shirt and his sandals]

Alexis: [and she'll trade in her pajamas for actual clothing, and pull her hair up so that she doesn't have to do much with it]

Hal: [and he will head over to her and kiss her neck] Hey beautiful.

Alexis: [smiles softly] Hey yourself.

Hal: I miss waking up to you.

Alexis: I miss it too. But it'll even out once I make attending.

Hal: I'm looking forward to that day.

Alexis: You and me both.

Hal: Coffee and pastries? [he holds out his arm to her]

Alexis: [she nods and takes his arm] Let's do it.

Hal: [and they make their way to the village just as rush hour is about to start, and get a nice little table in the back]

Alexis: [And there is a lot of coffee and delicious pastries]

Hal: [sipping his coffee] You know, I thought this career was going to be awesome. Sometimes I think it's just making me hate sports.

Alexis: Bad night?

Hal: I mean, going to the games is fun, but all people talk about is the money and how to get more of it. Even the players. I want to be in at the beginning with those hopeful kids trying to make it.

Alexis: Maybe you should try and coach high school or college?

Hal: Maybe. It wouldn't pay a lot.

Alexis: We don't need it to pay a lot. Once I make attending I'll have a pretty decent salary, and until then my dad can fill in the gaps.

Hal: [rubs his neck because he doesn't like to take money from Castle]

Alexis: [takes a breath] Let's do the math. [she grabs one of the napkins and starts to write down their expenses] So we have rent, cable, utilities ...

Hal: Eating out budget since we're never home to cook.

Alexis: [she nods and scribbles that down] Though that could change if you're working less crazy hours.

Hal: Then add in cooking lessons instead so I don't kill you

Alexis: My dad would do that for free.

Hal: Do you remember that time we tried to punk him in telling him we converted to fruitarianism and made him papaya steaks and stuff?

Alexis: [she laughs] The look on his face was priceless.

Hal: And then telling him I was going to become a beekeeper.

Alexis: He would teach you to cook so he would never have to hear the word "fruitarianism" again.

Hal: Yeah, probably. At least we would never worry about getting enough protein.

Alexis: [she nods, before looking at the list] Would you want to do high school or college?

Hal: I'd need experience before I get into college. [pauses, leaning back] Though you know, Stiles and I had joked about combining our forces for the power of evil.

Alexis: How do you mean?

Hal: Well, he's good with all the computer programming. We were joking about making software that would be the ultimate fantasy league builder. But then I got to thinking we could put in the stats of high school juniors through college seniors in the local area, compare them across the state and make guesses on who would mature in their skills and how to pick clients to get scouts to look at.

Alexis: Well, I have a John Oliver video I would ask both of you to watch regarding the first one. But the second one ... that would be an appropriate combination of your agent skills and his computer skills.

Hal: It would take time to mature the business. And probably an investment.

Alexis: Not to be redundant, but you could go back to my dad on this one. But this would be a loan, so you would have the chance to pay him back.

Hal: And I know Cora would take care of Stiles. And your dad wouldn't charge us interest.

Alexis: I think if you want to do it, you should go for it.

Hal: I just don't want to do something that will make you stressed out more than your job does.

Alexis: It will not stress me out. We will make it work.

Hal: And eventually we can figure out about maybe starting a family.

Alexis: [she smiles softly] Yeah. We'll get there.

Hal: Hopefully before my mother comes down and starts poking holes in my condoms.

Alexis: [eyes widen] Well ... we'll have my birth control as back up.

Hal: I think she just misses having a baby now that Matt's in high school.

Alexis: Yes, well, it will happen one day. Until then, she could always come and babysit Tommy.

Hal: They may never get him back.

Alexis: I think we can make it clear that she's only borrowing him. Or if we can't, Tommy will when he claims his allegiance to Princess Sofia.

Hal: My mother will learn Spanish, do not underestimate her. [laughs]

Alexis: [she laughs as well] Fair enough.

Hal: I may have threatened her once and said if she didn't cool her jets, we'd follow Stiles and Cora into the fuzzy grandkids path.

Alexis: [she laughs] Good plan.

Hal: We should get together with them one night soon. It's been forever.

Alexis: I think that would be an excellent plan.

Hal: Maybe I can see if they are available for dinner?

Alexis: Yes! We could do dinner and a movie or something.

Hal: Let me text Cora since Stiles is sometimes in a bunker and unable to get messages. [and he will text Cora with a what are you doing for dinner]

Cora: [a few seconds later] Pizza and bad TV, why?

Hal: Want to do pizza and a movie with me and Alexis instead? We both have the day off.

Cora: Sure! Do you want to meet somewhere or do pay per view?

Hal: [looks up] Cora wants to know if we can to go to a real movie theatre or just hang out and pay per view something.

Alexis: [she shrugs] I'm good with either, so long as their couch cuddling isn't getting R rated anymore.

Hal: They're married with two jobs. Pretty sure they are just as exhausted as we are at the end of the day.

Alexis: Then let's do something casual. It'll give us more movie choices too.

Hal: Alright [and back to texting] Netflix and Chill, the PG-13 version.

Cora: Perfect. Your place or mine?

Hal: [to Alexis] Their place or ours?

Alexis: Theirs. Our living room is not fit for company right now.

Hal: Yeah. And they can blame theirs on the dogs are least. [text - Yours]

Cora: Cool. Stiles gets home around seven, I'll tell him to grab a couple pizzas.

Hal: We'll grab dessert then. See you at seven.

Cora: Sounds good. [and she'll switch to texting Stiles] Alexis and Hal are coming over for dinner. Pick up pizza?

Stiles: [is frazzled at work trying to decode an encrypted file. He looks at his phone and smiles] Sure. Three be enough?

Cora: Sounds perfect. We're gonna hang out and watch a movie.

Stiles: Sounds like a plan. I will try and not fall asleep on them.

Cora: I think they will likely be doing the same.

Stiles: I miss the days when we were all crazy kids.

Cora: Me too.

Stiles: You know what I should do. I should swing by Castle's this afternoon, get the laser tag gear, and leave it in their apartment.

Cora: Are you issuing a challenge?

Stiles: I could. We show up, ring the doorbell, and you craw into the window and take them out.

Cora: [she laughs] I think they're craftier than you give them credit for.

Stiles: Alexis is. Hal not so much

Cora: Well, we'll see what they're up to tonight.

Stiles: So laser tag?

Cora: I don't know. Alexis hasn't had a lot of time lately. It's no fun if it's the two of us against Hal.

Stiles: True. Another time.

Cora: But tonight, our place, pizza.

Stiles: I will make sure I get out on time and put in the pizza order on the way home.

Cora: See you then. Love you.

Hal: [and since they still have the ENTIRE day to go before dinner, once they are done with breakfast] So what shall we do now?

Alexis: [takes a deep breath] I don't know. It's so weird to have so much time to myself.

Hal: Well, we could go out into the world and do things. Or we could go back home to bed and do things...

Alexis: It's been a really long time since we've gone back to bed to do things, hasn't it?

Hal: In more than just a I have five minutes before I need to get ready for work way, yeah.

Alexis: I'm kind of liking the idea of door number 2.

Hal: I am down for this plan.

Alexis: Good! Let's go.

Hal: [and he will laugh and leave a tip before heading back home with the wife]

Alexis: [look, she's missed him just as much as he's missed her. so home they go to have a little adult fun]

Hal: [a lot of adult fun. now that they are awake and all]

Alexis: [mmmhmmm. they have lost time to make up for]

Hal: [oh yeah. A lot of reacquainting with each other and then soft and tender moments]

Alexis: [which is good for them, and eventually she will roll over and look at the clock] Mmmm. We should shower if we're going to make it to Stiles & Cora's.

Hal: Yes. We don't want to offend their werewolf noses.

Alexis: They always look so put out.

Hal: We could always offer to let them make out with us so we're all involved.

Alexis: No. That would get weird.

Hal: Totally.

Alexis: [sighs and slowly starts to detangle herself]

Hal: We could shower together and save a few minutes.

Alexis: Will that actually stay a few minutes? Or will we just get distracted again.

Hal: [wrinkles his nose] Yeah, we can do that before bed.

Alexis: [glances over her shoulder to kiss him] I'll be right back.

Hal: I'll be here. [posing all sexy like on the bed]

Alexis: [why must you make her life harder? but still, to the shower she goes]

Hal: [and once she's gone, he will get up and go find his clothing]

Alexis: [he has to shower first or Cora will make faces at him]

Hal: [he will, but he will take them into the bathroom with him]

Alexis: [and soon they are all cleaned up and off they go to their best friends' apartment]

Hal: [stopping to get pastries on the way]

Stiles: [and meeting them at the lobby near the elevator] Hey strangers.

Alexis: Hey yourself. How's it going?

Stiles: Same ol', same ol'. What about you guys?

Hal: Enjoying a rare mutual day off.

Alexis: They are few and far between.

Stiles: Yeah, I remember those days, waiting for the times where I could go to Boston to be with Cora. [and what they did when they had those days]

Alexis: They are not fun. But hopefully they will be over sooner rather than later.

Stiles: Oh? How so? [ding, elevator here]

Alexis: Time flies when you're too busy to spend time together?

Stiles: You didn't get fired, did you? [looking at Hal]

Hal: No, i didn't get fired

Alexis: I'm just saying that my residency only lasts a year, so hopefully my hours will even out soon.

Stiles: Oh. Well, that's a better solution.

Alexis: Yes. And one that will keep us solvent longer.

Stiles: [confused] Things okay?

Hal: Yeah, I was just floating a few ideas about career changes. [ding, door opens and they are outside the Stilinski-Hale apartment]

Alexis: He's not liking being an agent as much as he thought.

Stiles: Well, we both have that in common.

Alexis: Not liking working at the lab?

Stiles: It's good work, but I just doesn't really feel it's something I'm passionate about.

Alexis: Maybe you both should make a change of scene then.

Stiles: [confused, then looks at Hal as they open the door] You told her?

Hal: I told her.

Alexis: I think it's a great idea.

Stiles: It's going to cost a lot of time and money.

Hal: Alexis thinks Castle would give us the loan to start it.

Alexis: Make the right pitch and I'm totally sure he will.

Stiles: Well, I still haven't told Cora about it yet.

Alexis: My lips are sealed.

Stiles: [and he will push the door open] Cora, we're all here.

Cora: [grins and looks up from her pile of dogs] Great. I was looking at movies.

Hal: Are your dogs multiplying?

Cora: No, they're just getting bigger. [it's still only Bucky and Sadie. they don't have the floof yet]

Stiles: Make yourself comfortable, guys. What do you want to drink? [he's going to put the pizzas on the coffee table]

Bucky: [meat, meat meat meat I SMELL MEAT!!!!! hi tail starts thumping even if he's only half awake]

Alexis: Beer if you have it?

Hal: Same.

Stiles: Cor?

Cora: Beer is good for me.

Stiles: Beers for everyone. [and he will go into the kitchen and bring them in] I'm going to change quickly, but start without me.

Cora: Did you guys have a movie preference?

Hal: Comedy?

Cora: Sure. [and she'll swap to the comedy films and start paging through]

Stiles: What is that? [pointing at random Owen Wilson movie]

Cora: [rolls back] Wedding Crashers.

Hal: I heard that was funny.

Stiles: I'm always down for them.

Cora: Let's do it then. [and on the movie goes!]

Hal: [and pizza eating and couple snuggling a go, but they will just snuggle, guys]

Stiles: [all the snuggles]

Cora: [so much snuggling]

Alexis: [and possibly Alexis passing out against her husband's shoulder in the middle of the movie. sorry, Owen Wilson doesn't do it for her]

Hal: [he's used to this. as long as she doesn't drool]

Alexis: [nope. no drooling this time]

Hal: [his shirt is safe then]

Alexis: [it is]

Stiles: [and when it's over, he will look back at the kitchen] Dessert time?

Cora: [glances over at her best friend and smirks] Is it worth waking her?

Hal: I'm going to have to if I want to get her home. Plus there is a cannoli with her name on it. [literally, she had their names put on the cannolis]

Cora: [she laughs] Alright. I'll get the dessert.

Stiles: [and he will get up to clean up the empty pizza boxes]

Cora: [and eventually she will return with the danishes to take the pizza boxes' place]

Hal: [nudges Alexis] Honey, your cannoli has arrived.

Alexis: Hmmm? [she frowns as she starts to wake up] Did I miss the end?

Hal: And the middle.

Alexis: Oops. [cringes as she sits up] Sorry.

Hal: It's fine. Stiles just drew on your face for a bit.

Stiles: I did not.

Alexis: [looks at both of them dubiously before reaching for her phone to double check]

Hal: I'm teasing.

Alexis: Uh-huh. [but she looks fine, she verified]

Hal: [leans over to kiss her]

Alexis: [kisses him back] I've learned to take neither of you at your word when it comes to pranks.

Hal: You'd still be beautiful to me with a penis drawn on your face.

Alexis: Awww. [she laughs] Still rather not have the penis on my face, for the record.

Stiles: I would never do that to you. Hal, yes, you never.

Alexis: Good. Keep it that way.

Hal: [goes to put her cannoli on a plate and give it to her]

Alexis: [brightens and then takes it, before leaning in to kiss him on the cheek] Thank you.

Stiles: You put all our names on them I see.

Cora: I guess he wanted it to be clear who's was who's.

Hal: The mini napoleons aren't named.

Cora: So only the cannolis have specific names?

Hal: Yes, so that we all got ours. [looking at Stiles]

Stiles: For the last time I did not steal the cannolis out of the fridge.

Alexis: I still say we should have looked for fingerprints.

Hal: Someone broke into the apartment and only took the pastries?

Cora: Or Castle stole them.

Hal: Or Martha. She sneaks in all the time.

Cora: See? That already invalidates your hypothesis.

Hal: The box was in his room.

Stiles: So you claim. You know, Hal, it could have been you.

Cora: [she makes a face, because that does make you look kind of guilty, Stiles]

Hal: Why would I steal my own cannolis?

Stiles: Because you could frame me for it and Alexis would side with you.

Alexis: It was hard not to with the evidence presented.

Stiles: You should have gotten fingerprints.

Alexis: Well, we all have our own cannolis now.

Hal: And we're all the better for it.

Stiles: [humphs. He's actually telling the truth. Unknown to them all, Castle, Javi and Ryan took them when dropping off something while they were all in school, and put the box in Stiles' room as a prank]

Cora: [looks up at Stiles with a small frown, before leaning up to kiss his cheek softly]

Stiles: [gives her a small smile, and just goes back to eating his pastry]

Hal: [after a bit] So Stiles, you really think you could come up with the coding for that program we talked about?

Stiles: The scouting program?

Hal: Yeah.

Cora: What scouting program?

Stiles: Hal and I were floating the idea of finding him a better scouting kind of job, and I thought it would be easy to create a program where coaches could log in stats on their athletes in major and minor league type sports like baseball, basketballs, etc. I could then create an algorithm with the same stats of pros from the same locations and needs not being met in the leagues and come up with probabilities on student athletes that would be worth scouting for specific markets and Hal could use the data to scout, try and get representation, and then present them to pro general managers for possible drafts or direct contracting.

Cora: [squints] Okay, I only got a little bit of that.

Hal: A computer program that will let me know which players are better to scout than others, and where to try and get them placed.

Cora: Oh. Thank you. That sounds like a great idea though.

Hal: And we can use it to the kid's benefit too - they would be able to who their stats and improvement over junior and senior year in school to also get scholarships to college if we're investing time into them but they aren't ready for active placement.

Stiles: The problem is, it'd take me awhile to create the software and get it working and then made the coding copyright. And Hal doing the initial scouting and getting coaches on board. We don't have that kind of time now.

Cora: So it'd essentially be a full time job.

Stiles: Pretty much. We'd be starting our own company. It could be the greatest thing ever, or a complete failure.

Cora: Well, that doesn't mean it's not worth trying, if that's what you wanted.

Hal: It's more a time and money thing. Which Alexis assures me Castle would help cover the money for the company.

Cora: [tips her head to the side] Victor might too, if you come up with a good pitch. I mean ... investing in new companies is kind of what he does.

Hal: Come on, Stiles. You keep talking about how you don't think CSI is what you want to do. Maybe this isn't it, but you'd at least be your own boss and set your own hours.

Cora: At least write up a pitch. See if you can get funded. You don't have to make any hard decisions until you know you have something to fall back on.

Stiles: I'll think about it.

Hal: Alright.

Cora: [she nods as she goes back to her dessert. they'll discuss it later after Hal and Alexis leave]

Hal: [which isn't g
oing to be much longer] Well, seeing that we've both got to go back to work tomorrow, we should probably head home.

Cora: [she nods as she gets up with a smile to walk them out] It was really good seeing you two. We should do this more often.

Hal: Our schedules suck in matching up, but we're trying to.

Stiles: Next time, I'm thinking we need an old fashioned laser tag session.

Alexis: Oooh, yes. We should schedule that.

Stiles: Sweet. We'll make it happen. [and hugs to Alexis and manly hugs to Hal]

Cora: [yep, hugs all around, and eventually the other couple will be shuffled out the door and back to whence they came, leaving them alone with their fur babies]

Stiles: [and he will just go to cleaning the place up since the dogs are covering Cora again]

Cora: [sorry Stiles, they just love their mom and Sadie gets weird about company]

Stiles: [he will come back once he's done] I'm probably going to head to bed. I've got another long day tomorrow.

Cora: Okay. I'll be there in a bit. I'm just going to take them on a walk before bed.

Stiles: Alright. [and he will lean over the couch to kiss her] Love you.

Cora: [kisses him back with a smile] Love you too.

Stiles: [and he will head to bed, exhausted]

Cora: [and she will walk the dogs before coming back to curl up with him]

Stiles: [and he will just curl into her, not waking up but seeking her warmth and presence]

Cora: [well that's good for her, because she'll easily drift off to sleep and probably won't wake until he wakes up in the morning]

Stiles: [which he will wake up earlier since he crashed early, and he will just roll onto his back with one arm around her, staring at the ceiling]

Cora: [shifts slowly, curling back into him and tucking her head against his chest]

Stiles: [he will smile a bit, his arms keeping her close, his hand gently rubbing her back as he just thinks about coding]

Cora: [and eventually she will rouse, tipping her head up to rest her chin against his chest so she can look at him] What're you thinking about?

Stiles: Just doing some coding in my head. [looks over at her and smiles] Morning.

Cora: Morning. [a beat] Coding for the thing you and Hal were talking about?

Stiles: Yeah.

Cora: Do you really want to do it?

Stiles: I don't know. It'd be a challenge. Something new and not going to lie - making my own hours would give us more time together.

Cora: [she nods] That is a nice pro. What are some of the cons?

Stiles: Income cut in half. Stress of not knowing if things will pan out. Worried that Hal's career would depend on me figuring this code out.

Cora: Are there things I could do to make that less stressful?

Stiles: I don't think so. I think it's more that I just need to make a choice, and feel confident in it. It's a big change, and I know the income part isn't really that big a deal since you're stupidly wealthy.

Cora: True. And if we keep working on possibly having kids, you'd get to be home with them instead of at work.

Stiles: Which would let you be able to keep working and not feel you need to be a stay at home mom.

Cora: [she nods] Also, it doesn't hurt anything to get together with Hal and make a pitch to Victor. If anything, he can tell you if it's really viable.

Stiles: [nods] Nik might like to get in on it. I mean, it's a lot of travel if we get it beyond the tristate.

Cora: [she nods] So ... it doesn't hurt to make the pitch. If they go for it, we can figure out what we really want from there.

Stiles: If we're making a pitch, we need to be careful because Hal has clauses in his work contract about what work he can and can't do in his off hours.

Cora: Then have an informal conversation.

Stiles: I'm still thinkin about it

Cora: Well, whenever you're ready. There's no rush.

Stiles: What do you think?

Cora: I think that you deserve to do what makes you happy, and if you think this is it and Victor thinks it's viable, you should go for it.

Stiles: The first part I'm still trying to figure out. Right now my happy just comes from being here with you.

Cora: Well, I'm glad that we're still good.

Stiles: We’re totally good.

Cora: Good. [and she leans in to kiss him]

Stiles: [and he kisses back]

Cora: [hums softly into the kiss as she goes to settle closer]

Stiles: [and when he needs to breathe] You know it's early.

Cora: Early enough?

Stiles: A little morning love before we go back out to face the world?

Cora: Sounds good to me.

Stiles: [and he will kiss her again, turning to that he's laying on top of her as he goes to let his hands explore]

Cora: [and she will move to shift onto her back more, going to pull at their clothes]

Stiles: [and he will make short work of them and after they are both teased and ready, he will silde deep inside of her to make love to his wife]

Cora: [and she will slide her legs around his waist, keeping him nice and close]

Stiles: [and they are so caught up in each other that the alarm is going to go off on the side table. He is going to laugh] Of course.

Cora: [she gasps before her hand flings wildly to hit the snooze button] There.

Stiles: Good, five more minutes.

Cora: [she nods and leans in to kiss him deeply]

Stiles: [and he's going to pick up the pace, kissing her back and working to get there]

Cora: [it doesn't take her much longer from their earlier teasing and with a soft cry she falls over the edge]

Stiles: [and he will join her, and then press his forehead to hers and smile] That's a good way... to start a morning...

Cora: [she nods] I couldn't agree more.

Stiles: [and then the alarm goes off again] Okay, fine. I’m getting up. [and he turns the alarm off]

Cora: [sighs as she lets him pull off her] I don't have classes today, so maybe I can meet you for lunch?

Stiles: I'd like that.

Cora: Okay. So I'll text you when I'm on my way.

Stiles: Want me to make you coffee before I head out?

Cora: [she shakes her head] I think I'm going to go back to sleep for a bit.

Stiles: Lucky. [but he will head off to get ready for work]

Cora: [and she will head off to go back to sleep]
