You and me both, buddy.

[ Jumping the last step down off the bus and re-shouldering his backpack. He still isn't aware that Scott and Isaac are new besties and staying together but hey.

And besides, it's not like they talk. But Stiles catches the edge of his statement and feels he should respond. ] So are you squatting in Derek's creepy tomb now?

[ Cause he ded. ]

[Isaac looks faintly surprised at Stiles, thinking he'd already know that Isaac had since moved in with Scott.]

No... I've, uh, been living with Scott. I guess it isn't exactly home.

[ His face does something entirely too complicated before it freezes on what he hopes is positive but mostly just makes him look constipated. ]

You and Scott, huh? So you're bros now? We've forgotten all the murder attempts and the general unpleasantness and now you're braiding each other's hair at night? Nice.

[Cue Isaac feeling slightly awkward, obviously he never thought he'd have to tell Stiles.]

Can't you see I've changed? I mean would Scott let me live with him if any of that was still true?

[He doesn't quite know what to say and turns to leave, this would have to be something between Scott and Stiles themselves.]

[ He spends about thirty seconds having an internal crisis before he takes off after Isaac. ]

Hey, wait up. That was kind of - I'm being a dick. [ He practically has to run to catch up with Isaac and then he pauses. ] Just, a lot of stuff has gone down lately and I guess I should've realised you'd do the whole pack thing together.

If there even is a pack anymore... [He mumbles this while slowing down for Stiles, ever since Derek died things felt a little confusing, especially with the situation just before the event itself between Derek and Isaac.]

Scott was just the last person I could turn to, you know?

There's totally a pack. Scott's building his own because he is awesome and also much better than Derek at dealing with anyone.

[ Scott McCall fanclub. Population: Three. ]

Isn't it a little soon to be saying stuff like that about Derek?

[Still an open wound here Stiles!]

Nobody dies in Beacon Hills. We all thought Peter was dead and hey - guess what, he's still alive and well and being a douchebag. Derek'll be fine, you'll see.

[ Not that he cares, okay? Not at all. ]

Stiles, a load of people die in Beacon Hills. Peter was different, I'm not sure if he counts as the standard for these things...

[He shrugs slightly.] Maybe the Alpha Pack is right, they seem to think he's still out there.

Nobody dies and stays dead. [ Look Isaac, words are hard. ]

We're trusting the Alpha Pack now? Let's not do that, that's a crazy idea.

I hope so... [He sighs]

I'm not saying I trust them I'm just saying Ethan had good enough reason to give us that information.

Ethan thinks Scott is the one who saved him despite y'know, seeing me, Lydia and Allison trying to wrestle his werewolf ass to the ground.

[ Not really trustworthy, okay? ]

Maybe he meant that it was because of Scott? I guess they sort of see him as an Alpha now...

[Isaac didn't want to say maybe it was because Stiles wasn't a werewolf.]

What? So everything we do is because of Scott? And not because we - y'know - have our own free will.

[He rolls his eyes with the barest sine of frustration.]

You know what I meant...

Pack politics sucks, man.

[ Isaac probably knows that but Stiles feels it needs to be said. ]

Tell me about it... but I wouldn't change it, its helped with a lot of stuff.

[Really he doesn't know where he'd be today if all the werewolf things never happened.]

Yeah.

[ Isaac now he feels bad for you. ] So is Scott your alpha now? If Derek's ...

I trust Scott... he's not an alpha though.

[Scott is basically the Alpha tho.]

He totally should be.

[ Because Scott is awesome. ]

[He'd agree but that might be betraying Derek a little, instead he'll shrug one shoulder and give something between a nod and a twitch.]

I won't spill.

[ Maybe he should warm up to Isaac. It's not like he likes having enemies. Except for Jackson. Jackson should be everyone's enemy. Jackson should have a target painted on his back. Even in London. ]
