“Does it change your mind if I tell you I have a fraternal twin sister whose name is Winter? And has black hair?” She\u2019s not trying to upstage him. Not \/really\/. But it\u2019s hard to imagine something more irritating than being not-twins with matching names. Either people are making fun of your names, or making fun of your claim to be twins.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t really expect an answer, and heaves a sigh before dropping down into the papasan chair to take off her shoes. \u201cYou,\u201d she informs Helios, washing his paw, \u201care a stinker. I\u2019m going to lock that cat door if you pull this again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Nnnnnnnnnnnn<\/em>ope.\u201d Stiles says, blithely, as he\u2019s disappearing into the bathroom. He ends the word by popping his lips apart, exaggerating the sound of the \u2018p<\/em>‘ until it seems like he left it there just to occupy his space while he’s ‘gone’.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take long before he\u2019s re-emerging, the ice pack still in one hand. Granted, now Stiles appears to be trying to walk more or less hunched over to the side, pressing the ice pack to his right knee, and it\u2019s about as gainly and dignified as it seems it would be, which to say\u00a0not at all<\/em>. \u201cWell\u2014uh. If you were\u2026worried. No lasting harm done. I\u2019m gonna have the\u00a0worst<\/em> bruise ever on this knee but that I basically did to myself\u00a0anyway<\/em> so\u2026you know, no harm, no foul, right?.\u201d

It’s awful of her to be continuously laughing at him, she knows. It’s just hard not to, with the limbs everywhere and the flailing — and yet he’s somehow attractive through all that. Or maybe because of it. She can’t keep an edge of that awareness out of her gaze while she points to the couch.<\/p>\n

“You should sit down before you fall down,” Summer suggests. “I think there might be some arnica gel in the first aid kit, do you want me to check? I’m sure the bruise isn’t that bad.” Helios strolls over to give Stiles a sniff, then headbutts his leg — the left one. “By the way, how \/did\/ you find him?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
