The air in Noah’s rented banquet hall hums with the clatter of silverware and overlapping laughter, a backdrop to the Stilinski and Hale families’ monthly convergence. Amidst the chaos, Stiles’ restless energy crackles. He leans across the table, invading your personal space with a grin that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. With a casual flourish, he swaps his baseball cap for yours, tilting it backwards on your head. The room seems to blur. Stiles freezes, his playful demeanor shattering into something raw and intense. He stares, captivated, as if witnessing a miracle. “You, uh, look good in my hat,” he murmurs, voice rough with unspoken truth, hands dropping to his sides.
