Laura and Cora walked out of the theater laughing.

“The best part was totally when that one guy got his head ripped off,” Cora said.

“No way! It was definitely the disembowelment of that one character,” Laura argued.

“Oh my god, Laura,” Cora suddenly stopped, dragging her sister through the people trying to leave to stand against a wall. They crouched behind a trash can, which caused a few odd looks to be directed at them. “Look.”

The two of them peered around the bin to see Derek sitting on a bench, his arm wrapped around the guy who they had met in line. Derek looked to be comforting him as the man sobbed into a napkin.

“...Didn’t they go see a rom-com?” Laura muttered to her sister. Cora shrugged. “Let’s get closer.”

The two of them crept out from behind the trash can to plaster themselves against the wall. They walked slowly towards them, hoping that their brothers’ usual lack of awareness would work in their favor.

“It was so cute!” the guy said. “Did you see? And they were so in love, of course they had to end up together! That other guy was such a jerk to try to get between them! Right?”

Derek nodded, his arm tightening around him. “They ended up together, though. All’s well that ends well. And it did end well, right Stiles?”

“Yeah, but it was still such a shitty thing to do. I mean, yeah, he was the guy she knew from when she was a kid, but fate clearly put James into Mary’s path. Obviously they were meant to be, and Alex should have just accepted it.” Stiles pulled out another napkin, clearly overwhelmed emotionally.

Laura and Cora slowly backed away. It was probably better not to interrupt.

“Let’s just text him,” Laura suggested. She pulled out her phone.

 

Hey baby bro, you looked pretty busy, so we’re heading home. See if you can get a ride from *Stiles* okay? <3 Don’t worry, we’ll tell Mom all about it so you won’t have to!

 

Cora rolled her eyes. “You are a terrible person, Laura.”

“Hey! I am the best sister ever, don’t you forget it.”

“But I wanted to tell Mom!”

They glared at each other for a second before bursting into laughter.

“Hey, do you remember where we parked?”
