I'd be sending Derek these but he's more stupid than you are.
Keep him safe while I go on the fifth floor.

You're really not getting annoyed by any of this?
This is me checking in. I went onto the third floor.

Checking in with you.
I know it's dumb to ask if you're okay.
But

[ she doesn't think to finish it since scott's not okay and by association neither is stiles. ]

[ Most of these texts are getting answered with smiley faces, or proud of you jokes, or anything that's not this. But Stiles stares at it for a long while. Thinks about Derek carrying the body in. About the look on Isaac's face, the sting from the bruise on his face where Isaac socked him afterwards. ]

I don't know.

[ He really doesn't. ]

i'm pretty ready for this to be over.

[resent]

So am I.
The dead aren't meant to be alive.
The alive aren't meant to be dead. Not this early. Not like this.

Going back to the farmhouse.
I'm getting something else.
Running out of arrows.

be careful.

[ It feels trivial at this point, but he has to say something. He has to. ]

[resent]

Always am. ;)

[ except lol who is she fooling? stiles knows her resume of stupid acts; he's even one of her references to call when one wants a report on how stupid she is. ]

[ she'll never admit that, despite it feeling trivial to him, she appreciates it. it's important to her to get this. ]

[ she's really not. ]
