Chapter Text
Scott spends the summer before Junior year preparing -and by that he doesn’t mean preparing for some crazy supernatural disaster, he means that he works out, studies, practices lacrosse and works at the veterinary clinic. He also has a sexuality crisis of sorts.
He works out not for the purpose of being able to fight any kind of evil, he does it for lacrosse and because he enjoys the way working out makes him feel, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t think about the fact that ever since he got turned he’d been pulled into a supernatural rat race and even though he really wanted to stay out of it from now on, Scott knew that if people were going to get hurt he was most likely going to get involved so the fringe benefit of working out was the potential of lifesaving (his own and others).
Scott has never been particularly studious or school-smart in general but it's about to be junior year and he wants to step up his game, mostly for his mum because she has been so good throughout all of the werewolf stuff but also because he wants to be able to stay on top of this if stuff starts getting crazy, so he prepares. A lot.
The lacrosse practice is mostly for Stiles, he really wants to be first-line this year and Scott is more than willing to help him get there. Plus, it is a good way to get out of his head -and into Stiles’. After last year, Scott feels like him and Stiles aren’t really on the same wavelength anymore, they’ve always been different with Stiles wanting to research every little thing he comes across and being obsessed with Lydia and constantly trying to figure out what case is dad was working and all Scott wanted was to hang out with Stiles, play video games and get through school, it had always seemed that Stiles just wanted things more than Scott did. And, Scott supposes, that’s still the case but now Stiles wants to find out more about the supernatural and anything else that could be connected and Scott wants to go back to how it was, or at least as close as he could get to it.
He had also spends the holiday break working at the veterinary clinic a lot, it's mostly for the money (he and his mum aren’t the wealthiest family in all of Beacon Hill and college/whatever he’s going to do after graduation isn’t cheap plus he got a motorcycle and he wants it to be able to have petrol in it) but he also enjoys spending time with Deaton, they don’t talk about supernatural stuff directly but sometimes he makes comments or suggestions and Scott knows he is trying to help him out while also being respectful of Scott putting off the inevitable.
Speaking of which, on the full moon he loses control a little because his anchor was Allison and, well that situation is very complicated and he's trying not to think too hard about it. But he clung to the thought of not hurting anyone but especially anyone that he cared about, he thought of all of their faces and made himself think about how awful it would be if he hurt them and it seemed to work but Scott doesn’t think it’s a permanent anchor so he’s working on trying to find something or someone who can be his anchor.
Stiles spent most of the holidays bonding with Lydia when he wasn’t training with Scott but now that school was back and he was properly friends with her and had given up his stupid quest for her to fall in love with him, which pleased Scott immensely because they were both people he loved and two-fifths of the pack, but that also meant Stiles was very eager to get a girlfriend and he insisted that Scott be his wingman.
Stiles offered to wingman for him several times but Scott wasn’t exactly looking to date, for one thing, he was still in love with Allison and he was ninety per cent sure he was falling for Isaac who has been living in the guest room over the holidays and into the school year (which was a big reason he stayed busy so busy that summer).
