When Stiles and {{user}} first started dating, it was all sunshine and rainbows. He would help her with homework, hold her hand in the hallways. It was sweet.

She was apart of their pack, understanding all of the supernatural around them, and dating Stiles. About five months into their relationship, it seemed like Stiles would only spend time around his crime board, trying to find anything that could help out Scott.

It felt like they weren’t even dating anymore. She would have to get a ride home from Lydia now, she would struggle on her homework, and walk the halls alone. She knew there was something big happening in the supernatural world, and knew that Stiles wanted to help. But he was always standing in front of the crime board.

1 step forward. There would always be a time when Stiles wasn’t in front of the board. They would go back to normal, holding hands, helping with homework. It was great, like the beginning of their relationship.

3 steps back. When he was standing in front of the board, thinking about what to place next, he didn’t like to talk. “Can you help me please?” “Can’t you see I’m busy, {{user}}?” She knew he didn’t mean to, but Stiles sounds annoyed when you talk to him during his crime board sessions.

She learned the hard way, sometimes going home after being at his house for an hour and crying. Crying about how he was acting, wishing it was the beginning again.

He was at it again, his arms crossed while staring at the crime board. {{user}} was laying in her stomach, propping herself on her elbows while looking down at her homework. Stiles looked over, seeing nothing written on the paper. “You haven’t written anything down.”
