Probably get laid, I'm not gonna lie. [ you big giant cockblock you. she's unscrewing the bottle now, taking a drink. ] But that's okay, this isn't so bad either. [ it fills her 'not being alone' quota, even if it's not the same kind of not-alone. ]

Well we don't want that, now do we?

[he asks with a laugh, squirreling his way fully onto the bed with her and uncapping his own water bottle, tipping his head back to down a good portion of the bottle in one go.

for a stupid teenage boy, stiles actually tends to know what he's doing when he's drinking. he knows how much he can handle, he knows the importance of hydrating after (and before, and during as well, if you can manage it of course). and he knows that it's always more fun to be drunk with a friend than alone.]

Hey Sally? If I actually had a coven, you would totally be my first pick to join.

Aw, [ she says, lifting her arm to drape it over his shoulders with her palm on the top of his head. ] That's the sweetest thing a fake Wiccan's ever said to me. [ she's totally teasing. ]

[stiles grins and presses himself happily into sally's touch, mostly rambling with no real meaning now as he continues to talk (because stiles rambles even when he hasn't been drinking).]

We'll build a big bonfire, or maybe we can just find the fire that the dude bitching on the network set. And when you jump over it, you're sure to find some guy that's totally worth your time.

Y'know what totally sucks? [ it's supposed to be rhetorical, but she's still drunk enough to wait for some kind of 'what sucks, sally?' ]

Vampires? [nope, sorry, since when has stiles gone with the expected route?]

[ she snorts a sudden laugh, because: ] Actually, yeah. [ give her a second, though, and she's got a real answer. ] What sucks is, I totally had a boyfriend, back home. [ her head drops down to lean sideways against his shoulder - because whoops, she still hasn't let go of him, and it doesn't look like he's getting his personal space back anytime soon. ] Like - it was the real thing, too. Almost like it was worth getting murdered just to find him.

[stiles totally doesn't mind the invasion of personal space. he wraps his arm around instead and tilts his head to rest lightly on her own, staring thoughtfully at the wall across from them.

once again, for reasons that are completely beyond him, people are bringing relationship issues to him and, once again, they're all weirdly the same sort of problem. so he guesses he has a little bit of practice dealing with this issue, is the thing.]

First of all I need to say this, okay. Nobody is worth getting murdered for. [just... no. after everything they've been through back home, no.]

Second, I guess... were you still dating him, before you wound up here?

Look, I said almost. [ re: worth getting murdered for. in a weird way, it's kind of true though. if she weren't murdered, she would've ended up marrying that asshole, she knows for a fact that she would've. so a life with danny versus a death with literally the two best friends she's eer had? not to mention totally being in mutual love with aidan in an alternate universe.

he's spot-on with his guess, though it wasn't that far of a reach. ] Yyyyep. And, like - he's even here, I have to see him pretty much every day, but he doesn't even freaking remember because it wasn't even him. Like, I... messed up, I guess? I accidentally kind of created an alternate timeline, and I'm hardcore dating alternate-timeline version of him, which - I don't know if that counts. It should count. [ she wants so bad for it to count, but it sure as hell doesn't count on this stupid ship. ]

[stiles still doesn't want to hear that kind of talk, sally. he's seen far too many deaths at his age already he just can't hear that kind of talk. it makes his skin itch.]

Ookay, alternate timelines. Alright. [stiles reaches up to scratch thoughtfully at his neck as he considers the problem. alternate timelines is actually one of the few things they haven't had to deal with yet in beacon hills, so he's not exactly an expert yet on the subject.]

Can I ask what led to the alternate timeline?

Like, was it any sort of change to do with your Schrodinger's beau? Or you? Or was it just. Some kind of general events alteration?

Well like. [ she starts, but has to think for a second for how to even start. ] Like, the how and why is a super long story but I basically got thrown back in time - back when I was totally still a ghost, so it's not like anyone could even see me, but whatever, not the point. [ dismissive handwave with the arm not hanging onto stiles, a little clumsy because of the shots. ] The point is that the place it threw me back to? Was like 30 seconds before Danny freaking up and murdered me. And like, I could see it happening in my head, the way it was gonna go down. So I just - I guess, possessed myself? And punched him in the sack, which started this huge chain of events where in this version of things, I totally didn't die. Et-cetera, et-cetera.

[ only belatedly is she realizing she isn't positive she ever told stiles about being murdered in the first place. or danny. whoops. here's hoping she did. ]

[stiles genuinely can't remember if sally ever told him that she used to be a ghost, but considering she confessed to at one point in time being what basically amounted to a zombie, it's not too much of a shock to him

and it does serve to clear things up a bit for him. he slowly starts to nod as he works through the pieces of the puzzle.]

Okay so. Change for yourself. To where you had an actual physical body with which to to the whole dating thing. That sounds reasonable, I guess. And hey! You still totally have a body right now, too!

Go team! [and he holds up a hand for sally to high five]

[ she grins and high-fives him, because wow, this was so much easier than when she told sirius. ] Soooo yeah, basically my boyfriend is only technically my boyfriend in some weird alternate reality and he has no idea and he's banging this other chick and it's a mess.

[psh, and wizards think they have the market cornered on weird. stiles was adding one and one together and getting werewolf when he was still a sophomore.]

Okay so I've already sort of had this kind of question from someone else up here, and there's no denying that the fact that a lot of us are coming from different timelines than each other definitely complicates things a lot but even setting aside the existence of this other girl he's... banging.

Well I guess it sort of comes down to a pretty simple matter of conception.

[ she leans her head back down to rest against his again. ] I'm not gonna lie, I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

No, no, stick with me on this, okay? [he holds his hands out in front of him, as awkward as it is in this position] Not 'conception' like making a baby, alright.

[a beat] Or maybe a little bit with the other question, but not yours I don't think. And really, feel free not to tell me if it is, unless I get to be a godfather or something. But concepts. That's what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about the fact that this guy you were dating in your alternate timeline, he's used to considering you to be dead, right? Like maybe you aren't right now, but that was the norm he was introduced to in the beginning, yeah.

And it can be a bit tricky to work around the idea of dating a ghost, I guess. Probably.

No, but like - I've totally had a body before. For months, and it made pretty much zero difference. [ not to mention the fact that the aidan she was dating was a completely different aidan than the one she knew before, hard as that is to admit. ]

Nope, no, you're still missing my point here, Sally.

[he holds one finger out in front of her face, wiggles it a little to make sure her attention is on it.] He knew you as a ghost first, right? Then even when you're not a ghost, he's always going to sort of think of you that way in the back of his mind regardless.

[now a different finger on the other hand comes up beside the first one] Whereas in this alternate universe, he met you first while you were alive. So he thinks of you as alive.

Plus. [wrinkling his nose] Is this other time you had a body when you were a zombie because I gotta tell you, zombies aren't super arousing either.
