Sex Therapist AU

[totallynotrobin]

Stiles is sure this was a terrible idea. Absolutely terrible. He's shaking as he sits, waiting, in the man's office. After everything that happened...he can't do this. He should leave. No - he isn leaving. He's going to walk out that door and -

But Stiles is frozen by fear. His nails are digging into his palm, jaw clenched. Move. Get up. Get out before he shows up. I'm sorry, Dr. Hale, I couldn't make it. Yeah. Sounds plausible.

It was a Wrong Place, Wrong Time type of thing. Actually, it was the Wrong Drink. Worst part was, it wasn't even meant for him. But when the guy figured out he'd roofie'd the wrong kid, well - might as well get something out of it, right? And for some sick reason, that made him feel worse, that he wasn't the intended target. That he was some kind of second class, even for a sick fuck like that. From there, it was all downhill.

So he's stuck in that chair, dreading the moment his new therapist opened the door.

Stiles takes a long sip, smiling back just a little at Peter's approval. So what if it's not healthy - it's helping.

[burnedwolf]

Peter smiles more his eyes falling on Stiles' throat for a second. Then back at his face before he gets distracted.

"How was it?" he asks when Stiles seems to be done.

[totallynotrobin]

"…just water." Stiles breaks out into a shy smile. "It was just water."

[burnedwolf]

"It was, wasn't it?" Peter chuckles and reaching out to take the glass. "And something else. It was also a huge step for you."

[totallynotrobin]

"Yeah." Stiles smiles softly. "Thank you, Peter. Really, this is…I never thought…"

[burnedwolf]

"And yet, here you are." Peter chuckles a little. "From now on I will offer you a glass of water every session. Alright?"

[totallynotrobin]

"Alright." Stiles says softly, leaning towards Peter a little. "What about my reward?"

[burnedwolf]

"Ah yes, I did promise a reward." Peter smiles back and raises a hand to brush his knuckles against Stiles' chin just for a second before he realizes it's a bad idea. "What would you like, Stiles?"

[totallynotrobin]

Stiles has the breath knocked out of him by that simple touch, and he caught Peter's fingers. "...that. I want that."

[burnedwolf]

Peter can't say he's not surprised at the sudden movement. He's blinking a little confused at Stiles, before he looks at their hands.

"That? By 'that' you mean... you'd like me to... to touch you?" he asks frowning.

[totallynotrobin]

"Y-yeah." Stiles says uncertainly, threading their fingers slowly. It feels good. Comfortable. He can touch Peter. "Is that - is that okay?"

[burnedwolf]

Peter takes a deep breath as he's eying their threaded fingers. It shouldn't be like that, he shouldn't continue this madness, it's not ethical at all. But he smiles at Stiles and squeezes his hand a little. It feels warm and damn it, he might have a thing for this guy.

"If you want it, then it's alright." he nods, brushing Stiles' hand with his thumb. "It's been months since you let anyone near, isn't it?"

[totallynotrobin]

"Yeah. Months." Stiles squeezes his hand comfortably. "It feels good. I feel like...sometimes I just want a hug."

[burnedwolf]

Peter smiles with a nod, holding Stiles hand securely.

"Your father would definitely give you one." he starts, even if he'd offer himself too. He'd gladly hold the boy in his arms for hours at this point.

[totallynotrobin]

"I don't want one from him, not really." Stiles sighs. "I want to matter to somebody other than my lone remaining parental unit."

[burnedwolf]

Peter looks down with a smile. If Stiles knew he already matters to a lot of people, including him...

"Of course you do." he sighs. "We're working hard so you can go and find that someone without any trouble." he smiles. "But until then Scott wouldn't do?"

[totallynotrobin]

"Scott's my bro. You don't ask bro's to snuggle with you." Stiles snorts softly, squeezing Peter a little tighter. "And he's like, my only friend."

[burnedwolf]

"Bro or not, a hug is just a hug. Maybe you should ask him about it still. It doesn't have to be a romantic hug, Stiles." Peter insist quietly.

[totallynotrobin]

"I don't know. Still kinda weird." Stiles points out. "I'll think about it."

[burnedwolf]

"Please do. It will make you feel better, believe me." Peter nods. "And if it helps I'm not having many hugs either." he adds lightly.

[totallynotrobin]

"...are you asking for one?" Stiles smiles shyly at Peter. He wouldn't mind indulging the therapist...

[burnedwolf]

The doctor chuckles, looking up. He should refuse. Not because he's not hugging his patients, but with Stiles it's different.

"You won't hug your father ot friends, but you'd hug me?"

[totallynotrobin]

"Maybe." Stiles says softly, tilting his head at Peter. "Unless...you don't want to."

[burnedwolf]

Peter looks back at Stiles. He can actually explain why he gives in. He needs to give Stiles a better self esteem and denying a hug won't help about that. So he nods.

"Would you like to try then?" he smiles opening his free arm.

[totallynotrobin]

A smile breaks out on his lips and Stiles nods, leaning closer to embrace his therapist. He...liked Peter, probably more than he should, but the man cared.
