Chapter 21

Luke's Pov

Annoyance and Disappointment.

Those were the two emotions I was currently feeling after Stiles's dad interrupted our moment together.

I was annoyed because Stiles was warming up to me, he was starting to tell me a little more about himself. 

And I agreed to tell him bits and pieces about my life.

But the best part was that our lips were inches away from being pressed onto each others.

We were inches away from kissing.

I was so damn close to kissing Stiles.

Unfortunately, his father came in before we could even do so.

Which led to me being annoyed and disappointed.

I was about to kiss the boy I've been crushing on for a while and that opportunity was thrown out the window within seconds.

God, I wanted to punch a wall.

No. Scratch that. I wanted to punch a person.

Preferably that stupid boy with a crooked jaw that doesn't know when to leave Stiles alone.

I swear to god I'll be waiting for that time to come. That stupid boy pisses me off and I barely know him.

Sighing, I got up from the couch and patted my cheeks, in an attempt to get rid of the blush, before walking into the kitchen.

I walked in just in time to see Mr. Stilinski putting the plates on the table while Stiles was opening up the box.

"Oh, Luke, I was wondering if you're allergic to pepperoni by any chance?" Mr. Stilinski asked.

"Nope. In fact pepperoni pizza is my favorite" I smiled.

"Awesome. Grab your plate and grab a slice and sit down" Mr. Stilinski smiled.

I nodded and grabbed the two nearest plates and walked over to Stiles just as he got the box open.

I handed him a plate and he took it while offering me a small smile, one that I easily returned.

I grabbed a medium size pizza and walked over to the dinner table and sat down.

I smiled as Stiles grabbed the biggest slice of pizza before coming over to the table to sit next to me.

Mr. Stilinski is just like his son because he also grabbed a big slice of pizza before taking his seat across from Stiles and I.

"If either of you want anything to drink there's water and soda" Mr. Stilinski told us.

He pointed to the middle of the table where there was water and soda, whichever one we wanted.

Stiles and I nodded as we took bites out of our pizza.

"So, how was homework?" Mr. Stilinski asked.

"It was a pain in the ass but at least we got it done, that's what matters" Stiles replied, shrugging his shoulders.

I chuckled and nodded in agreement, causing Mr. Stilinski to hum.

"Just as long as you boys got everything done. I don't want either of you staying up late just to finish it" Mr. Stilinski sternly said.

His eyes wandered over to his son and he gave him a pointed look.

I furrowed my eyebrows together in confusion as Stiles blushed in embarrassment and avoided his fathers eyes.

"What does he mean by that?" I couldn't stop myself from asking.

I'm curious.

Which can be a good and bad thing.

Especially when we all know what curiosity did to the cat.

"Story for another time" Stiles didn't look at me when he spoke, just took a bite out of his pizza.

Mr. Stilinski sighed and took another bite out of his pizza, grabbing his glass of water to hydrate.

I eyed Stiles for a bit before shaking my head and went back to eating my pizza.

"So, Luke, tell me a bit more about yourself. I'd love to know more about my son's new friend" Mr. Stilinski smiled.

Except, his smile looked more like a teasing grin.

And he was glancing at Stiles a few times, a knowing look in his eyes.

Stiles glared at his father, his cheeks turning more red, and grabbed his cup to pour himself some soda.

What was that about...?

I shook my head and set my pizza down onto my plate as I looked at the sheriff.

"Well, as you know I go to school with your son. We have a few classes together. My friends, June and Jake, also go to school with us and they have a few classes with Stiles. And I also have a twin sister" I revealed to him.

"Oh, really?" Mr. Stilinski asked in interest.

"Yes, her name is Olivia Carter. She's obviously the same age as me, given we're twins, and she's dating June. Fair warning, she's overprotective and a little possessive of her" I explained.

Stiles snorted, causing our eyes to fall onto him.

"A little possessive? She almost lunged at a waiter that time we were at the restaurant for staring at June with disgusting lust" Stiles rolled his eyes.

I chuckled at the reminder.

"Really?" Mr. Stilinski asked, trying to hold in his laughter.

"It's true. She was ready to hit him in the head with her plate if June hadn't held her back" I explained.

That was enough for him to start laughing as he set his pizza down onto his plate.

Stiles and I glanced at each other and joined in on the laughter, the reminder of that day was amusing.

"I like you, kid. Stiles really made a good choice of befriending you and your friends" Mr. Stilinski smiled.

Stiles and I glanced at each other before turning back to his father.

"I sure did" Stiles nodded.

"He sure did" I nodded.

A tiny smile appeared on my face when I felt Stiles gently place his hand on my thigh, gently caressing it.

Looks like I have rubbed off on him, huh...?

A Few Hours Later

When we were done with eating I decided to help out Mr. Stilinski with the dishes since I didn't want him to do all the work.

The poor man must be tired after his long day of work and I want him to get some rest.

Which is why I helped with the dishes and Stiles cleaned up the table.

When I was done helping Mr. Stilinski wash the dishes it was time for me to head home.

I grabbed my bag that I left in Stiles's room and made sure I had everything before going to bid goodbye to Mr. Stilinski and Stiles.

I smiled as Mr. Stilinski and I shook hands.

"Take care son and I hope to see you here more often" Mr. Stilinski said.

"I promise to come by as often as I can" I smiled.

He smiled back at me and ruffled my hair, causing me to huff slightly while Stiles looked amused.

He glanced at his son and nodded before turning around and heading upstairs.

"Come on, I'll walk you out" Stiles said.

I nodded and followed him as he guided me towards the front door.

"Are you sure you don't want me to drop you off? I really don't mind" Stiles asked.

"Love, don't worry. I texted Olivia before helping your father with the dishes and she'll be here to pick me up in just a few minutes" I told him.

He let out a sigh of relief and nodded his head.

"Just as long as you're not going to walk home alone, especially this late at night" Stiles said.

"What? You think I can't handle myself" I teasingly asked.

He let out a scoff as he opened the door as we both took a few steps outside.

"Trust me, I know you can handle yourself. But, it won't stop me from worrying. Lots of bad people wander around late at night and I just don't want you getting hurt" Stiles explained.

My heart fluttered at that and I looked down, trying to hide my red cheeks from him.

It's fair to say that I'm not used to anyone, except for Olivia and the others, caring for me or my safety.

I was only ever used to Olivia, June and Jake caring about me and being worried about my safety despite them knowing that I can protect myself.

And of course, my grandparents.

Hearing those words come out of Stiles's mouth warms my heart.

I'm happy that he cares. Really, I am.

I cleared my throat and looked back at Stiles, who was looking at me in worry, and offered him a faint smile.

"Thank you for your concern, love. I appreciate it" I softly said.

"Yeah, of course" Stiles nodded.

Just as I was about to say something else we heard a car pulling up.

I didn't need to look to know that it was my sister.

"Ah, well my rides here. I gotta get going" I sighed.

"I know, but at least we can see each other tomorrow at school, right?" Stiles asked.

"Of course" I nodded.

I hesitantly brought him into a hug, one that he returned with slight hesitation, mainly because he was surprised, but at least he didn't push me away.

When we pulled away from the hug I cupped the sides of his face, smiling as he easily leaned into my touch.

I leaned in and placed a soft kiss to his forehead.

"Goodnight, love" I whispered.

With that, I removed my hands from his face and pulled away from him and turned around.

I walked over to Olivia's car and got into the front, closing the door as I put my seat belt on.

I looked out the window and when I caught Stiles's eyes I smiled at him and waved, beaming in delight as he returned the gesture.

I watched as he walked back inside his house and closed the door. I sighed and leaned back against my seat.

"So, I take it that everything went well?" Olivia asked.

"You have no idea" I huffed out a laugh.

Her eyes widened before a smirk appeared on my face.

"I don't care how tired you are, when we get home you're going to tell me everything that happened" Olivia demanded.

And I knew that I was not going to get myself out of this.

After all, Olivia gets what she wants.

We are twins, meaning we are similar in many ways.
