As soon as Stiles appears in the doorway, she relaxes a little. She still won’t let anyone else touch her, but she reaches out for him, taking his hand as soon as he’s close enough. After a moment where she just breathes, rocking back and forth ever so slightly, she pretends to write on the back of his hand, looking up hopefully.
Getting your hand taken by a stranger was a little strange, the emotion of being incredibly uncomfortable creeping up on his shoulder. He quietly endured it, just hoping for the given moment that things would pass quickly. Besides, he had saved her. He did expect to leave her at the hospital after everything was handled…but apparently that wasn’t going to occur.
One of the nurses is quicker on the uptake than Stiles, and provides a clipboard and a pen. She lets Stiles go to write, ‘I want to be checked by the person you trust,’ and shows it to him.
