Drabble #36: Empty

Ever since the day Stiles left Beacon Hills for college, Isaac had felt… empty. It wasn’t that he stopped living, so much as the fact that he found himself wondering often what it was he was living for. He loved his job, loved being part of his pack. But at the end of the day, no matter how much Isaac had going for him, there’d always be that emptiness as long as he didn’t have Stiles.

But now that Stiles was home – in Beacon Hills – so close Isaac could almost sense him, Isaac felt more empty than he ever had.

It had been five years since Stiles last lived in Beacon Hills. Of course, he had gone back for a few family celebrations a couple of Christmases, but he had been so busy at college that they really only ended up fly-by visits. He hadn't left to run away, but he had admittedly needed a timeout, and the uncertainty of what would come once he did depart his home town had made leaving really hard.

( Now he was coming back, and it had this surreal feeling of both feeling like a long time since he was last here, but like little time had passed at all... )
