It’s overwhelming and oddly new. It’s familiar in a way as he recalls rising from a pile of bandages, the body a mere copy of what he once was, the real one being paraded around by a demon with blood lust–
His jaw falls open as he breathes in, chest feeling tighter and tighter. He wasn’t dreaming, but this couldn’t be real. He couldn’t be real. As Peter swoops in Stiles’ own arms wrap around the other’s shoulders tightly, heart racing in his chest. It was all wrong wrong wrong.
“Peter…?” It comes out as more of a question than it should, even as the whimper it was. He knew who was there, holding him now. He looked in his eyes, counted on the man to catch him, and he did. The confusion was as overwhelming as the sensations come with returning to his body. “What’d you do? What- what…” He pauses, throat tight when he swallows. “Peter what happened? Why am I…”
He doesn’t know how he feels, what to think, what he wants besides an answer. He wants to feel warm, he doesn’t want Peter to ever let go. A part of him wants to close his eyes and shut back down and never have to deal with whatever this was, but he was alive, he couldn’t really mean that.
peter knew that this wasn’t supposed to happen, that in the real world things like this definitely didn’t happen to people. nobody knew about the supernatural and they couldn’t just find a coven and do what peter had done. not that it was easily, because it definitely wasn’t, however it had made it happen. and even with stiles in his arms it almost still didn’t feel real.
❝ shh.. ❞ was the first thing from his mouth, as he knew the other would confused, though he hadn’t blamed him for that at all either. ❝ i’ll answer every question you have, just not here. ❞ the wolf spoke as he was keeping the boy wrapped tightly in his arms, not wanting to let go at all.
❝ wanna get you home, get you warm then i’ll answer every question. ❞ peter knew there were going to be a lot, and probably quite a few that he hadn’t wanted to answer even. though for stiles he would do anything, and he was pretty sure that his point had been proven - by just what he’d done to actually bring stiles back to him.
he’d hardly even registered that his body had been in a squatting position until he was moving to stand up, bringing the other with him. peter hadn’t even given stiles the option to walk on his own, as peter was all but scooping him up to walk to the car.
