[ The dam just breaks, and Stiles suddenly feels like he's eight years old again, and they're telling him his mom might not know his name anymore--he almost trembles with the force of trying not to cry until she pulls him in.
And that's the end of that--his arms circle around her immediately and Stiles buries his face in her collar, even if he has to lean halfway over to do it, letting the panic and the sadness and the fear pour out of him all at once, because he was terrified, because he saw what happened to her, he saw what happened to Derek, saw Tom advance on him with that pickaxe before he could even dodge out of the way. He wanted Scott, he wanted his dad, he wanted--
Stiles sucks in a breath that heaves, his shoulders twitching forward as whatever he was going to say comes out in a half choked sob, and he manages to blubber out an "I'm sorry", because he doesn't even know what he's sorry for, but he doesn't even know where to start. ]
action!!
