Advent Calendar 2015: Day 20
Still having this stupid impromptu period that isn't supposed to be happening. It's been almost a full week and pretty bad, compared to the periods I usually have. This is getting ridiculous.
I think I'm also anemic again because I'm feeling like absolute ass, borderline sick. Exhausted, moreso than normal. Good thing I only have 3.5 days of work this week and then I'm off until the 4th.
The bundt cake pan A gave me worked like a CHARM. The monkey bread I made for food day tomorrow came out AMAZING and tastes awesome! It doesn't have all the liquid pooled at the bottom so it makes the whole thing a soggy, limp mess.
Started watching Making a Murderer tonight and got through the first 4 episodes, which are DENSE. They're not just 42 minutes but feel almost like 1.5 hours each. The whole season is 10 eps so I'll get through it by the end of the week. Already so many jaw dropping moments from what I've seen so far. It's on Netflix and has been described as Serial for TV or something. I didn't bother with Serial because I get too distracted when I'm only listening to things and I'm not a big fan of podcasts but MaM is gaining momentum already, after being released on Friday.
I also want to watch F is for Family, which was also released on Netflix on Friday. That's what I was going to do this weekend but then TLC had both Dateline and Hoarders marathons and, well, who doesn't want to feel better about themselves by not being murdered and having a vacuumed floor?
ANYWAY.
Today is day 20 for the Advent calendar. tamsinwillougby asked for Teen Wolf - I actually like most pairings, I love femslashy ones, rare pairings, Erica/Boyd, Scott/Allison, Scott/Kira, Derek/Stiles.
I came up with a short little Allydia (???) thing that, admittedly, ends a bit abruptly but it was all my brain would give me, LOL. Hope this works for you!
Selfish
Pre-Allison/Lydia, PG, 460-ish words
"Hold still," Lydia scolded lightly as she tried to apply concealer to Allison's cheek.
Allison sighed and obeyed, sitting up straight in Lydia's bedroom while she covered the latest bruises from pack activities.
"I appreciate this," Allison said as Lydia stepped back to judge her work.
"It would be so much easier if you were still with someone in the pack," Lydia replied, pursing her lips. "You wouldn't have to hide so much."
Allison dropped her eyes and nodded slightly. "Believe me, I know. But..."
"But?" Lydia prompted, grabbing a brush from her extensive collection and started smoothing some kind of powder over Allison's skin.
"Kyle's a nice guy. I think I'm being selfish by dating him, actually."
"Why?" Lydia asked.
"Just by being around him I'm putting him in danger. He has no idea about this world we live in and I'm pretending like I'm the same as him," Allison said softly. "Is that terrible?"
"No, Ally," Lydia started. She gently gripped Allison's chin and made her look up at her. "You're anything but selfish. You do what you need to do, okay? I'll be here for you if you need anything. The whole pack will be."
Allison stared up at Lydia with an unreadable expression on her face. Lydia tightened her grip on Allison's chin for a second before letting go.
"Have a good night, okay?" Lydia said as she stepped back and put her makeup away.
Allison stood slowly, then hugged Lydia quickly. "Thanks Lyds. Talk to you later."

Lydia woke in the middle of the night to the sounds of someone creeping into her room through the window. She reached for her phone, heart pounding, but then relaxed when the intruder straightened up so the moonlight shone off Allison's raven colored hair.
Lydia stayed quiet and still, watching Allison as she shrugged out of her coat, toed off her shoes and pushed her pants down. She creeped over to the bed and lifted the other side of Lydia's blankets so she could slide in slowly.
Once she was in she turned over carefully and inhaled sharply when she saw Lydia staring at her.
"Is this okay?" Allison whispered.
Lydia nodded. "I told you I'd be here for you."
"I doubt this is what you had in mind," Allison laughed softly.
"What about Kyle?" Lydia asked.
Allison closed her eyes for a second and exhaled a deep breath. "The risk isn't worth it. In a lot of ways."
Lydia cocked her head as best she could on her pillow, questioning.
Allison shifted closer in bed and reached out to brush the back of her fingers across Lydia's cheek. "If you're okay with it I want to be really selfish now."
Lydia smiled and turned her head into Allison's hand. "I'm looking forward to it."
