I have this headcanon (that will inevitably be Jossed, of course) that every time someone touches his wrist, Stiles has a flash of panic. And that for some time, Lydia point blank refuses to go into the Hale house.

They form something of a buddy system, so neither of them get stuck around Peter, though Lydia doesn’t know why Stiles would want to avoid him, and at first thinks he has an ulterior motive. When she asks him why he’s helping her, he evades answering, which only makes her even more wary, and even though they still stick together, she closes herself off.

Eventually Stiles fesses up and tells her about Peter’s offer. And, that if Peter were to ask again, he’s not entirely sure he’d be able to say no.

I am not a fan of Stiles/Lydia as a romantic pairing at all, but I think they’d make good friends.

I did this in somewhere around an hour while I was waiting to leave for a concert hsjakhkdsffkd pardon my mess. Flowers are a bit of a call back to that set I drew, because of reasons.
