Hi, you've reached the Stud Muffin. Can't answer the phone right now. Why are you even calling? Texting. Wave of the future.

BLEEP.

[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?

[skybluejeep]

[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.

[watcheslanterns]

[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?

[skybluejeep]

[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.

[watcheslanterns]

Four days. I'll keep you to that.

[And she will.]

[skybluejeep]

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.

[watcheslanterns]

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

[skybluejeep]

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

[watcheslanterns]

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.

[skybluejeep]

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.

[watcheslanterns]

[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.

[skybluejeep]

Yeah. You're welcome.

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

[watcheslanterns]

Me too. Goodnight, Stiles.

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

[skybluejeep]

Goodnight.

[She's wrong. He should be alone. This is just the proof of that, all of this. Everything he's said to her, confessed to her, just proves it all. Yep. Definitely in for another three or four days of embarrassed moping.]
