[She gives Malia a bit of a smile.]

I can take some time off. It wouldn't really be that hard.

[wildkingdom]

Will your dad be okay with that?

[The Sheriff had always leaned pretty hard on the "stay in school" line.]

[cant_take_waiting]

Dad would have to get over it. I make my own choices, Malia.

[wildkingdom]

[Maybe. But she likes the Sheriff and doesn't want to disappoint him.]

I guess.

[cant_take_waiting]

[Stiles doesn't want to disappoint her dad either. Though she doesn't want Malia to be alone. That's a big factor in a lot of things.]

Would you want me to come with you? If dad had no problems with it. I could always take time out from school. Give myself a bit of leeway. That way we had time together and we could explore the world.

[wildkingdom]

[As much as Malia doesn't want to be alone, she doesn't want Stiles to be with her just to fill that purpose either. There's a difference, she's learned, between being with someone because you want to be with them, and being with them out of obligation.

She pauses for a moment, before shrugging.]

I don't want you to come if you're coming just because I'm going to be by myself.

[Traveling with Stiles could be nice, but she wants her to want to be there.]

[cant_take_waiting]

I'm wouldn't be going just because you'd be by yourself, Malia.

[That's probably a big factor, but it wasn't the reason that she wanted to go.]

I want away from Beacon Hills. From the crazy.

[wildkingdom]

Okay.

[Because that's a good reason, but it's still not a reason to go with her specifically.]

Why not go somewhere with Scott?

[cant_take_waiting]

[Why does she need a reason to go with the one person that she cares a great deal for? She hazards a look over to Malia before shaking her head.]

Maybe because I want to go with you, Malia. I can call Scotty up any time I want and go somewhere with him.

[wildkingdom]

[Well you could just SAY that, jeez Stiles.]

Just making sure.

[cant_take_waiting]

[She gives a small smile before shaking her head.]

Besides, I care about my best friend but I love you, Malia. So I want to go with you. Not him.

[wildkingdom]

[And now she's actually starting to believe her.]

Okay. Okay.

[She exhales slowly.]

Let's hope it's not totally lame.

[cant_take_waiting]

[Stiles shakes her head, getting them to the diner and stopping the jeep.]

It won't be, Malia. We'll have the time of our lives.

[wildkingdom]

Good.

[And she'll immediately slide out of the car, yay for not being in a confined space.]

I'm starving.
