video; eight full moons

[ Scott probably should have checked the network before appearing on it so he’d know why he's in the situation he is right now, but he’s somewhat disorientated from waking up handcuffed to his freaking bed, so the first thing he does is make a video broadcast asking for answers instead. The fact that they’re comfy, padded handcuffs is more confusing, but all his clothes are on so this can't be sex-related (he can think of two people he wouldn't mind it being a sex thing with but they're nowhere to be seen plus he can't remember how he got here). Little does Scott know, he lost his bracelet and was grey for a while, but Stiles managed to finally find the damn necessary jewellery to survival here, putting it on Scott while his grey self was sleeping.

But Scott’s back to his old self now and the most confused he's ever been. ]


Can someone explain to me why I’m cuffed to a bed right now?

[ Scott looks around the room - which he recognizes as his room, and it’s pink. Thanks for redecorating while he was grey, Rue. ]

In my pink room? [ Scott looks down at the two creatures watching him at the bottom of his bed. ] Guarded by a wolf cub and baby dragon?

[ When the dragon gets closer, Scott sees it’s holding keys in its mouth. What look a lot like handcuff keys. Yes. Scott beckons the dragon over to him. ]

Here - come here, boy! Come closer, come on… [ Except the dragon doesn’t. It tosses the keys into the air and the wolf cub catches it in her mouth. And then there’s an audible swallow. Goodbye, keys. Scott just… stares, and then thumps his head back against the wall behind him with a groan. ]

This can’t be happening.

[ To make matters worse, the wolf cub and the dragon jump on him for cuddles. ]

No way. I’m not cuddling you guys.

[ Except he totally is. He’s Scott McCall, unable to resist cute animals wanting to cuddle him. ]

You both suck. [ The video ends on Scott's sulky, pouty face. ]

[ Allison is thankful, though definitely surprised, when Scott doesn't pull away from her touch at first. She still doesn't understand how he can be so okay with all of this; if the situation were reversed, she's honestly not so sure she wouldn't at least be partially angry with him. But that's Scott; he's always been such an optimist and has such a large heart that, like Stiles said, he wasn't going to hate her or be angry with her for what happened. And maybe that's part of why she feels so guilty; if he had been upset with her in any way, other than upset in general, maybe breaking up with him and kissing Isaac - though definitely unplanned - wouldn't have made her stomach knot so tightly with guilt.

She's confused when he pulls his hand away and even more confused when she sees the tattoo (in the back of her mind, she thinks about how she would've known probably hours after waking up again that he had it if they were still together) but stays quiet so he can say what he needs to say. Of course, as he talks, Allison's throat tightens up some. She knows that he was in pain - how could he not be? - but she also, selfishly, didn't want to think about it. Because thinking about how she had to hurt him to focus on herself felt even more selfish.

Unsurprisingly, Allison can definitely understand why that fact about the Samoan word would appeal to him so much. It feels like an open wound to her, too, and she doesn't know how to help it heal. Stiles seems to think that she should just get back together with Scott and figure out how to work Isaac into the equation, but he doesn't know what this is like. He's lost his mom, sure, so he could sympathize there, but he's never broken up with someone to try to put himself back together. He's never had to deal with the fact that his parent tried to kill the person he loved and ended up losing their life in the aftermath. It's easy for him to look at the situation and figure out what he thinks would fix it, but it's not so easy for Allison to put that in motion. Especially since she's still confused about Isaac and how she feels about him. (Though she's feeling clearer now, after that kiss.)

Swallowing roughly, Allison finally shifts her gaze to meet Scott's once he's finished talking and tries to ignore the tears in her eyes. She wants to reach out and touch Scott's tattoo or to curl up against him or just take his hand in hers again, anything that will make this easier. Because how can you tell someone you still love them but you might have feelings for someone else and you're still not sure that dating anyone is such a great idea? ]


Of course I still love you, [ she says quietly, like she's afraid that speaking at a normal volume will somehow cause more issues. Or maybe it's just because she's scared of what's coming next. Whether she finally caves and gives into the desire to get back together with Scott or she tries to explain Isaac and how she's not ready yet; either option is more than a little nerve-wracking. ] I never stopped loving you, Scott. And I don't love you any less because of what happened with Isaac. I'm just... [ She looks back towards his tattoo, eyebrows furrowing slightly. ] I'm just really confused right now.

[ Allison should probably pull away or something because him doing that should be out of line, but honestly, it makes her feel a million times better. Better, in fact, than anything else has recently. (Except maybe Isaac taking her hand while they were walking to lunch, but even that wasn't quite to this magnitude.) So after he kisses her hand, Allison turns hers slightly until she's able to lace their fingers together. It feels right, even if it shouldn't, and it makes the desire to curl up against him about a thousand times worse. She forces herself to settle for handholding for now, though, because she doesn't want to get Scott's hopes up.

She smiles a little at what he says and wipes at the corner of her eyes with her free hand. Maybe Stiles was right; maybe all she's needed this whole time was someone to talk to. But it didn't feel right, talking to anyone else. This... This feels more right than anything else really has lately. ]


Are you sure? [ Just because he offered and just because Allison's literally teetering on the edge of doing it, she doesn't want to unless he really means it. She doesn't want to hurt him any more than she already has. ]

[ Allison follows Scott's gaze to the stuffed toy, though she's confused about why he looked at it then. Figuring there's probably some significance behind it but not really wanting to ask for details, she looks back towards him, thankful that the tears in her eyes seem to have gone away and that Scott hasn't let go of her hand. Just like him, it's a comfort for her, something that might make this conversation easier to get through.

She's definitely thankful that Scott went first because this - Isaac - is something she's not really sure how to put into words yet, mostly because she's not completely certain how she feels. A lot of that, of course, stems from the Scott part of the equation; if she still loves him and wants to be with him, how can she be thinking about being with Isaac? Not to mention she wasn't sure where she stood with Scott or how strong the feelings were between the boys on Scott's side. Asking before now probably would've been a good idea, but she's been terrified. She still is, too, but she also feels like this needs to happen. Whatever comes next they can deal with, but actually talking with Scott feels right. ]


It's kinda like that for me, too. I definitely never wanted to be with Isaac instead of you. [ And only partially because their friendship was still in the growing stages when she and Scott were together. ] And even now that I've realized I like him, I still want to be with you, too. [ Admitting that was a lot easier than she thought it would be, honestly. Of course, part of that might be because sitting there with Scott's hand in her own is making her almost forget that she and Scott aren't together anymore. Almost. ] But I want to be with him, too, I think. I didn't realize I even liked him until Stiles told everyone you were gray and sometimes I kinda feel like he just put the idea in my head, that it's not how I really feel, but... [ But kissing Isaac definitely made it clear. She's not so sure she should say that, though, so she skips over that specific part of it. ] After the other day, I know that it is true.

[ She drops her gaze to their hands. ] I just don't know where to go from here, especially since I'm not sure if I'm even ready to be with anyone again. It feels... selfish, almost.

[ It will definitely help. The only thing now is that Allison doesn't really know how Isaac feels about all of this. That and she's still not sure if dating either or both of them right now is a good idea, but could she just be holding onto that as an excuse because she's scared? It's hard to say.

Allison nods in agreement when he mentions the masquerade. It's taken her a lot longer to accept that she's into Isaac as well as Scott (or just into Isaac in general) but if she really thinks about it, which she has been for a while now, that's probably when it all started to subconsciously click into place for her, too. She remembers how happy they all were, how right it all felt (after the head bump) and maybe if things hadn't ended up changing the way they did - her going home, her and Scott breaking up, etcetera - then maybe things would be different now. But she can't get stuck thinking about what, especially with what Scott's saying. ]
I was really disappointed when we parted ways, too, but I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure how you felt. I wasn't entirely sure how I felt, either; the whole thing was just really unexpected. [ Honestly, her feelings for Isaac in general have been, especially since she still loves Scott so much that it's actually painful sometimes (because they're apart). Honestly, though, she's thankful they're not together right now, if only because if they were, their feelings for Isaac could've become an issue rather than... A possibility? Something to hope for?

She does look up, though it's originally because he pulls his hand out of hers. For a split second she's confused, then his hand is on her cheek and Allison feels her heart swell in her chest. How long has it been since he's done that? How long has it been since they've sat like this and not been having some awful, horrible conversation?

She smiles at what he says, her hand moving up to wrap loosely around his wrist as she turns her head and presses a kiss to his palm. It's as second nature as him kissing her hand when she told him she still loved him, so she doesn't really think about it, but she's fully aware of what she's going to do next.

Her hand slides back up onto his and pulls it down to her chest, holding onto it as she leans forward. There's a split second of hesitation, her free hand on the bed beside Scott's leg, before she actually kisses him. It's soft and a bit hesitant, but it's absolutely, 100% intentional. She's not sure if she means for it to go anywhere or if she even wants that, but it just feels like the right thing to do. ]

[ Honestly, it's hard for Allison, too. And even though there's a part of her that's screaming about how wrong this is, how she definitely shouldn't be doing it, the majority of her brain is telling her that it's absolutely, 100% right. Just like telling Scott that she loved him and still wanted to be with him. After all, how could anything she feels in regards to him be wrong? (Which, of course, begs the question of why she's still so hesitant to get back together with him, but she still hasn't fully crossed that hurdle.)

When Scott leans in for that second kiss, Allison meets the intensity of it almost immediately and lets go of his hand in favor of moving her own to cup his cheek. She can hear her heart beating loudly in her ears, drowning out every other sound, but she doesn't want to pull away. She wants to get lost in this, lost in him, and just feel good again. She wants to know that he does still love her like he did before and wants him to know that she feels the same way. ]

[ Allison's eyes open just in time to catch Scott glaring at the handcuffs before he looks back towards her and she can't help but laugh as well, thumb rubbing over his cheekbone. She desperately wants to stay like this, close to and touching Scott, but she knows she needs to pull away at some point. The kisses were great and they felt right, but Allison knows that if she let it go any further, she'd end up feeling awful and guilty afterwards, like she somehow took advantage of him or something. Like she was using him to avoid figuring out everything else, which is part of why she broke up with him. ]

Maybe just yell at him; I don't think you could kill him, even if you really wanted to. [ Which, of course, is a compliment; Scott has such a good, kind heart that Allison couldn't see him ever wanting to kill anyone or anything. After all, he advocated the most to save Jackson when he was the kanima, even if he didn't like the guy.

Her hand moves down to rest against his chest and Allison closes her eyes, leaving her forehead against Scott's for a moment longer. ]
I'm sorry I'm making you wait. Isaac, too, if this is what he wants. [ She's still not sure where he stands with all of this and once she's ready, they'll definitely have to all talk it out. She's sorry about everything else as well; breaking up with Scott to begin with (not to mention the reasons she broke up with him), preventing him and Isaac from getting together, kissing both boys when she definitely shouldn't be kissing either. Of course, that last one? It's a little harder to feel sorry for when they both felt so right. Well, the one with Isaac felt less right in that she felt like she was overstepping boundaries that she put up herself and that she was worried it would hurt Scott. ] I'm just... Scared.

[ Allison does smile slightly at Scott's first response, though she can't say she's too surprised to hear him say that; after all, it's basically what he said when she actually broke up with him. She is, however, very thankful to hear that he still feels the same way, even if she still feels selfish for feeling that way. This conversation seems to be helping quell some of her various feelings, too, which is good; perhaps she should've done this a long time ago.

Not the kissing, necessarily, but she definitely won't complain about that.

Admitting she's scared is huge for her and the only reason she said it, the only reason she felt comfortable enough to do so, is because she's talking to Scott. She feels like she can tell him anything and this conversation - leading up to her admitting that - drove the point home. Maybe that's why she hasn't really talked to anyone else about this, and maybe it's why she's been so hesitant to try to find someone; aside from Lydia, she doesn't exactly trust anyone as much as she does Scott. (Isaac's getting there much more rapidly than she ever thought possible, but she and Scott have a better, stronger history than her and Isaac, so there are additional layers between them.)

She moves into the hug easily enough, both of her arms wrapping around Scott. Her fingers curl around the back of his shirt and she buries her nose and mouth into his shoulder for a moment, soaking up the warmth and comfort he's offering. It's painful, almost, because she hasn't realized just how desperately she missed him until today, but she doesn't want to let that cloud her decision making. She needs to know, with 100% certainty, that she can date him - and Isaac, if that's how it happens - without losing herself in them. ]


You have no idea how glad I am to hear that, [ she finally says once she shifts and rests her chin on his shoulder. ] I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you completely. [ Sure, she wants space from him, but knowing he's okay and out there somewhere would count as still being around. In her eyes, anyway. ] Either of you.
gymnast: (♕ ━ 152.)

it's not a bad tag at all!

[personal profile] gymnast 2014-03-06 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Honestly, if today doesn't prove that they're not over (no matter what happens with Isaac), short of getting back together with him, Allison's not sure what will. She continues holding onto him and closes her eyes when his hand moves, some of the tension that has been in her shoulders since she woke up from her nap disappearing. If only she could stay here with him forever...

She lets out a soft huff of laughter, short lived though it is. ]
It's different with you, though. [ She finally pulls back so she can look at him, though her arms stay wrapped around him, though they slide a little further down his back. ] I know I can talk to Isaac if I need to, probably about anything, but... [ She shrugs a little and glances towards Scott's handcuffed hand. ] I've had conversations like this with you before. With Isaac, it's totally new territory. But you're right, we do need to talk to him.

[personal profile] gymnast 2014-03-10 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ The sudden topic change has Allison glancing back towards Scott's face, brow furrowed slightly. Of course, when two and two connect in her head to make four, she lets out another quiet laugh. ] That was from you? I had no idea. [ Though she really should've guessed, especially when Stiles mentioned her going to France over the summer.

She pulls her arms away from him, though she rests both hands comfortably on one of his knees. ]
Stiles said something about my trip, but I guess I forgot about the bracelet then. I put it in the back of my drawer, that and the ring you gave me, because I wasn't sure who gave it to me or why and I didn't want to wear it in case... [ In case it was from a creepy stalker. ] But now that I know, maybe I'll start wearing it. [ Because it really is a beautiful bracelet. ]
gymnast: (♕ ━ 170.)

[personal profile] gymnast 2014-03-13 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can't help but grin at his response. ] That's only part of why I'd wear it. It's a really pretty bracelet, Scott. [ She would've told him that when she first found it, too, had she known it was from him.

Allison's eyebrows lift in question when Scott mentions the present, though they pull together when he says that second part. She, honestly, had mostly forgotten about her own locket, if only because it felt like Stiles was unintentionally (or intentionally, considering their conversation about the whole thing) trying to pressure her into making a decision she wasn't yet ready to make. But when Scott pulls the locket out and shows it to her, she can't help but laugh, even as she reaches out to take it. ]
Oh, god. [ She looks at the pictures and feels a rather faint blush settling on her cheeks. One of these days, she really needs to kick Stiles' ass. ] He got me the same thing. Just with a picture of you and Isaac. Do you think--? [ She lifts her gaze to meet Scott's. ] Do you think he gave one to Isaac, too?
gymnast: (♕ ━ 022.)

[personal profile] gymnast 2014-03-20 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ She nods a little, though to be honest, she didn't feel like he was making fun of her. After their conversation regarding all of this, Allison felt like he was trying to push her into making a decision she wasn't ready yet and butting in on something he had no right to be butting in on. But she doesn't want to say that to Scott, not when the moment seems to be going so well, so she smiles and hands the locket back to him. ] I think mine's probably going to stay tucked away, though, either way.
gymnast: (♕ ━ 172.)

[personal profile] gymnast 2014-03-25 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Allison considers saying that the urge hasn't gone away for her, and she doubts it has for him, but figures he's right; it's best to split up now rather than lingering around and risking this good conversation ending on a potentially awkward note. ] It really has, [ she says as she stands up. ] I've missed this. [ With a smile, she leans down to press a kiss on his cheek. ] We'll talk again soon, okay?
