"Hey" I knocked on the door to my brother's room. "What are you doing?" I indicated to all the pictures and posters he was taking down.

He turned around. "Just, uh, clearing my head"

I nodded, still leaning against the doorway.

"Malia seems nice" I commented.

"Yeah, yeah she is" he pulled down another piece of paper.

I started to leave but I heard him speak up.

"So you and Scott, huh?"

I paused with a smile and turned around. "Yeah, me and Scott"

"I can't deny, I didn't see it coming"

"Hm, if only you'd reacted in this way when we told you earlier"

*flashback*

Scott and I walked into my brother's room hand in hand.

I opened my mouth to say something as Stiles' eyes flickered down to our entwined hands.

"I knew it"

"Dude hear me-"

My twin cut Scott off. "I knew it. I knew it"

"Stiles-"

"You're violating the bro code man!"

"I love her, Stiles"

"How long?"

I sighed. "Don't freak out"

"How long!"

"A little over a month"

Stiles stared at us for a moment before launching towards Scott and pinning him against the wall.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey" I tugged my idiotic twin away. "If you hit him, it will hurt you way more than it will hurt him"

"I don't care!" He held his hand up in a fist but I pulled his arm down.

"Stiles, stop. You're not going to hit him. You know that. And this doesn't change anything between any of us" I said.

Stiles glared daggers at my boyfriend. "You kept it from me for a month"

"You were kinda busy being possessed by an evil spirit" Scott pointed out.

Stiles looked like he was just about to try and attempt to kill my boyfriend so I stepped between them.

"Maybe you should wait in my room" I told Scott, who nodded and started to leave immediately.

"Oh, and is dad okay with him being in your room" Stiles crossed his arms over his chest.

I groaned. "Do we really have to get into this"

"Yes. We need a serious talk. Firstly, I've got to accept the fact that my sister and my best friend are actually dating. Secondly, I have to accept the fact that because my sister and my best friend are dating, they'll be engaging in sexual activ-"

I felt heat rise to my cheeks and Stiles cut off, obviously noticing.

"Oh you didn't"

"I-"

"Already?" He pulled a face. "This isn't okay. When?"

"That doesn't matter" I frowned at my brother's weird question.

"It does. It matters"

"Why?"

"Well I need to know if you lost your virginity before I did"

I picked up a pillow and threw it at him.

"I'm so not having this conversation with you" I turned towards the door. "Plus, how do you know I was definitely a virgin" I joked.

Stiles stepped forwards. "Wait what?"

I heard Scott laughing loudly from inside my room and I winked at my brother before leaving and closing the door behind me.

Stiles fake laughed and turned back to his wall.

"Stiles" I said, stepping into his room.

"This doesn't change anything, okay. I mean I know we've been through a lot but you're still my twin, my best friend. You're still Scott's best friend"

"I know"

"I missed you so much, you know"

"Come here" he opened his arms and I giggled as he pulled me into a hug.

"Please don't ever get possessed by a dark spirit again"

"I'll try my best"

"How's your ego holding up" I nudged Scott.

"Slightly bruised still" he joked.

I smiled. "To be fair, I thought he would have reacted much worse"

"I thought he was going to punch me"

"Nah that would have hurt him more than it would have hurt you" I laughed.

We sat in comfortable silence for a while as I lay my head on his chest as he played with my hair.

"Hey, do you remember when we were kids and you had that bear your mom gave you" Scott said.

I frowned as I turned to face him. "Mr Snuffles?"

Scott chuckled. "Yeah"

"What about him?"

"You lost him that time we went to that little park in the woods. You cried every time someone mentioned him" he said.

"And my dad bought me a new one to try and replace him. Which was apparently mom's idea" I laughed at the memory.

"Yeah. Well, the night I got bit, after you and Stiles had ditched me-" he fake glared at me. "Thanks for that by the way. Well that night, I found him"

"You found Mr Snuffles in the woods?"

"I know it sounds crazy. It had been like what, ten years?"

"So where is he?" I questioned.

Scott grinned. "I've been saving him for your graduation present. But I thought that with everything that's happened lately, you might want something old from the past"

He leant over and pulled it out of his bag.

It was a little dirty and there were some obvious holes that had been patched up, clearly by Melissa.

"Scott" I said with a smile. "I can't believe you found him"

I remember when mom first gave me the bear. We've all had our favourite teddy in the past and Mr Snuffles was mine. I never thought I'd see him again after I lost him. To be honest, I think I was more upset about the fact I'd lost a present that mom had given me. Especially, after she died. That god damn bear has haunted me for years.

"Hey, don't cry" Scott said, reaching over and gently brushing a tear from my cheek.

I laughed and wiped them away. "I don't know why I'm crying"

"I didn't know the bear meant so much to you" he chuckled.

"It's the memories. It's the fact that you remembered. I just- I feel like everything's going to be okay now" I smiled at him. "I love you, Scott McCall"

"I love you too, Alex"

We both slowly leant in until our lips touched.

We've lost a lot.

But every single time, we've managed to pull through it.

Each time, we've got stronger.

And right now, I'm in my happy place. My favourite place to be.

I'm with Scott.
