[She holds out her hand, inviting him to take it, but still keeps looking ahead.]

[He takes her hand without hesitation, and squeezes it tightly. Yeah, he's definitely got feelings for her, even now.]

[She squeezes back and speaks softly.]

Figure it out Stiles. Don't make people...or yourself...hurt like this again.

...Okay.

[He is squeezing her hand like he'll never let go.]

I...I like both boys and girls. That's a big deal for me. Here and back home. I'm worried about that. It's a horrible thing where I'm from. Everybody calls bisexual people greedy. Everybody hates bisexuals where I'm from. I'm not gonna lie, Punz. Where I'm from, people who identify as bisexual are hated. A lot. And I'm afraid of it.

[She doesn't move, can't move really.]

I don't hate you Stiles. I'm angry because of what you did. Not who you did it with. You should be happy with whoever you decide...but know what you're doing when you do it. Be sure of it.

You have every right to be angry.

[He's still staring at his knees, totally hating himself.]

I...I seriously never wanted to hurt you. You know that, right?

[She nods.]

Just a stupid choice, right?

[He frowns at that, and shakes his head.]

You? No. You were never a stupid choice. But...neither was Derek. I...I might act on bad impulses...but I never act on bad feelings. I really care about you.

No. I mean kissing Derek when you were...well, when you were dating me.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah, that was a really bad choice.

...If it helps? I'm one hundred percent sure that I'm not gonna run into his arms after this. He'll probably never speak to me again. So...you can feel pretty good about my utter horribleness. He'll never speak to me again.

[She squeezes his hand again.]

I really don't think that's true. When you've figured things out...you should try talking to him Like this with me.

[He laughs bitterly at that.]

Punz, honey. I know you believe the best in everybody. And that's one of the reasons I adore you.

But please, believe me when I say that Derek Hale would sooner kill me than even consider being around me. Even as a friend. He hates me. And he has for ages. I have as much of a chance of flapping my arms and flying to the moon as I have of him wanting to be affectionate with me. Okay? That's why I say I'm an idiot. I ruined us for no chance at all, I realize that now. I'd have a better chance getting with Asti, the giant turtle we live on. He'd love me before Derek ever did.

[She's quiet because right now it's just hard to be optimistic for a relationship that pretty much doomed her own. But some part of her still is.]

It doesn't have to be today. Or anytime soon, really. Just, try someday. [Finally she peeks down at him.]

For me?

[He listens to that, and rubs his hands over his face again.]

...No. I won't. Because of you. Because I won't hurt you any more. I've always known I'm gonna end up alone. It's better if I do now. Especially now.

[She shakes her head slowly and turns to look at him again.]

No. No one should be alone. [She's speaking from experience.] You'll figure it out Stiles. I know you will.

[She leans forward and places a gentle kiss on her forehead.] I'm going to go now, but don't shut yourself away. Please?

[He sighs again at that little kiss, and then nods slowly.]

Okay, Rapunzel. I won't shut myself away. I promise. I'm still pretty ashamed of myself though. I'm allowed at least another three days of embarrassed moping. Maybe four. But that's it.

Four days. I'll keep you to that.

[And she will.]

This actually did go better than I thought it would, honestly.

I was expecting you to brain me with your frying pan. Or set your attack lizard on me.

Well, I can't guarantee how Pascal will react next time he sees you, so consider this a warning.

Oh, believe me, I'm sufficiently terrified. If he goes for my jugular, I reserve the right to defend myself.

I'll try to settle him before any confrontation.

[She pauses and steps back.]

Take care of yourself, Stiles. I'll...I'll see you later.

You too, Rapunzel.

[He tentatively reaches out to her, but then drops his arm again.]

You're such a good person, you know that? You're really terrific.

[Part of her can't help wondering if she's so great, then why had he kissed someone else. But she doesn't say it out loud. Instead she nods and gives him a sad little smile before moving towards the door.]

Thank you.

Yeah. You're welcome.

Have a good night, okay? And if you wanna talk again, I'm here.

Me too. Goodnight, Stiles.

[And with that she leaves, quietly closing the door behind her.]
