Hey guys! I'm back...again...

I know you'll wonder why this is so short; it's just an intro.

Nothing else to say really...enjoy! 8)

Capter One: Pawns Away

At first it was apart of my wolf training; sharpen my mind; give me the edge. Derek threw the box down on the floor, pulled Stiles over, and stated, "Stiles is going to play you in Chess once a day. When you lose, he gets one request, and you must do it." The emphasis he put on the final phrase was overly demanding, but what was I to do? Argue with my Alpha over something as simple as a couple games of Chess? So we began. I lost eight moves later.

So on top of Stiles being Stiles, I had to deal with him outside of school and training because his requests were never anything easy. The first time I lost he forced me to compliment him. I don't even remember what I said, but I know it was bullshit. This entire situation was bullshit.

By the end of the first month, Stiles had won thirty times. Most were compliments, but lately they've been different. "Sit with me at lunch tomorrow; draw me a picture of something nice; give me a ride to and from school." His requests were starting to involve more effort.

I had fallen into a lull of absent minded follow through for quite some time, but then I realized I wasn't just following through. I started to go deep into these requests.

The picture started out as a stick person, but grew into hours of researching artists techniques online, which led to a full waterfall scene, complete with ripples on the water, trees, individual leaves, and me sleeping through most of my classes. I've sat with him everyday for the past week, which originally didn't include the conversations and confessionals we created. And I've driven him to school for the past two weeks, which I decided would involve me picking up some breakfast for the human.

I don't know how, but Stiles Stilinski had grown on me.

The next day we played, I lost again. I had grown okay with losing to Stiles. I looked up at him and asked, "What do you want?" No sarcasm, just a smile; this is where we were.

He chewed on his bottom lip so long I thought it was going to drop if of his face entirely.

His brown eyes looked up to me as he blurted out, "Take me on a movie date."

What did you think? Too short? I agree! Which is why I usually write atleast 1,000 words minimum.

The next chapter might be the "date," or I might save it for later reference and keep it a mystery. Let's face it, I'll end up saving it for later, most likely.

Until next time, have a good morning, day, night, and sweet dreams.

Love,

Under The Crown
