Alan Deaton could have easily left Scott to die out there in the preserve from his wounds. But he didn't. He rescued and saved him. Alan Deaton could have given Scott up to Peter without a care in the world. But he didn't. He protected Scott from a menacing rogue alpha, standing firm and unafraid. Alan Deaton could have not gotten involved in the Kanima incident and let Scott and his friends plus Derek and his pack to suffer. But he didn't. He risked his position as a veterinarian to give them a powerful sedative to help save Jackson. Alan Deaton could have not help Derek to his feet and let him suffer from Peter manipulations after he was resurrected and after what Derek did to him in Season 1. But he didn't. He chose to help Derek and told him information he needed to know to plan ahead because he made a promise to Derek's mother of protecting him. Alan Deaton could have let Scott's mother, Allison's father, and Stiles's father be sacrificed to Jennifer Blake which would have made her unstoppable and cause terror upon Beacon Hills. But he didn't. He chose to save the parents at having the trio commit a ritual to pose as ritual sacrifices to help find the Nemeton and not once did Deaton fall back from it and aided them despite warning them of the morbid consequences of committing this surrogate sacrifice.

Alan Deaton could have let the Nogitsune possess Stiles to the point his soul could have not been returned and cause chaos before letting the Nogitsune kill everyone in Beacon Hills. BUT HE DIDN'T. He literally traveled to Tokyo, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET, to acquire lichen to help save Stiles while subduing the Nogitsune to give them time to free Stiles of the demonic fox.

Tell me...how is Alan Deaton shady and aggressive to everyone? How is he selfish and only cares for Scott's benefit?

He does not. He is careful, informative, and supportive to Scott and the pack. He is a mentor and father figure to Scott. He was willing to put his life on the line to a Yakuza in Japan to get the poison plant to sedate the Nogitsune. He was risking his career to acquire ketamine. He risked his life to see Dr. Valek to have himself go into a chronostasis slumber to find out Scott's and Kira's whereabouts to rescue them before Lydia helps wake him up to relay the information to the pack.

How is Alan Deaton shady and callous?

Another thing I don’t like about the way fandom treats Alan Deaton is that they always portray him to have a cold sternness or aggression in their fics especially when Stiles is involved. It’s as if his personality is the equivalent of the high school teacher Mr. Harris.

Of all the ships I have shipped with Scott, this one is my favorite: SCIRA

They are an amazing couple that still had potential that could have lasted until the end of the series. The other favorite ships I like with Scott are Scisaac, Scallison, Scydia, and Sceo. (And...I recently began shipping Scott x Danny yet I do not know their actual ship name)

But overall...SCIRA

SHADES OF RED

Fight Club Owner! Sukuna x Wealthy! Reader teaser

Here is the teaser @rinhaler hope you find it interesting

Warnings: swearing, mentions of sexual desire

---------------------------------------------

"Coming up in my club and business is a fucking invasion of privacy, princess. Didn't your parents teach you any form of manners?"

You scoff, turning on your heels fixing him a piercing glare. The audacity he has to call you that. "First off, do not call me princess. Secondly, you are a heinous man for allowing and orchestrating vile legal entities, like this illegal fight club to exist. Thirdly, my parents do not give a flying fuck about my existence."

Sukuna smirks, simply amused by your boldness and sharp tongue. You definitely weren't a cop or some government agent, not with those clothes. "It's called capitalism, sweetheart. Surely you're familiar with that term since you dress like a white collar person."

"I'm a financial broker and a consultant." You clarify, the front of your shoes tapping impatiently while it echoes in the cold but smelly lockeroom, waiting for your cousin to change. You can hear him grumble and huff in irritation about you meddling in his life. The oh so sultry way he said sweetheart made your insides feel repulsed. There was no way you enjoyed him calling you pet names.

"Oh so you should be aware then. You deal with shady clients from time to time so you can't be that stupid. There are far seedy businessmen than me who do worst than what I run. You might have even funded them." The patronizing tone he used boiled your blood. You had half a mind to slap that smirk off his face and the other was to punch his face. You don’t care if he’s 6'6 feet with muscles or whatever, you on thin ice with violence tonight. You aren’t scared of any man. At least that's what your mind is telling yourself as you are front of the pink-haired male.

"You must get off being so arrogant. That prideful that you had to resort to shady businesses to get through in life?" You smirk with vehemence. Satisfied that the grin was gone and replaced by a scowl, you took it further. "You must have a fucked up life that you needed to get by like a vulture and work your way up-" you were cut off when Sukuna was suddenly in front of you.

The confidence you had inside died instantly when you saw just how dark his face got and those looming red eyes staring at you like you were a dangerous insect. If looks could kill, you'd be incinerated. It was frightening and erotic the way he was towering over you, ready to pounce you like a predator.

"For someone who's a professional businesswoman, you sure got a mouth that acts like they can fucking talk to others however they want." He growls out, the tension so thick, even Hiroshi stopped moving. You couldn't tell if your cousin was scared or not, not when his eyes commanded you to look at him. "You should really be careful with who you're talking too. You think you can just come in here and think you're the shit. Get the fuck outta here with that attitude." Sukuna is keenly aware of your bossy attitude, along with your bravery. He does admire it dearly, but sometimes people like you need to be reminded of their place. He can think of many ways to put you in your place and do the nastiest and sinful things to let you know who's dominant.

"Oh I will." You utter, regaining the bravery back to look at him. "I don't plan on coming back here and neither is Hiroshi."

"No, what the fuck!? You can't just tell me not to come here and force my life around!" The irritated voice of your 18-year old cousin shouts in the lockeroom. He reappears in a black wifebeater tank top, black joggers, a white baseball cap worn backwards and black and white converses. His face, fueled with rage and hurt despite the few yet prominent bruises on his face fills you with regret. Maybe you should have kept a closer eye on him in school.

"Yes you are and I said so. Get your stuff and let's go." You order him, yet he refuses, his toned biceps crossing his chest in indignation.

"Fuck that! You’re not my mom just because you’re raising me! I am not gonna let you do what you want me to do just because it doesn't go with your "white collar" bullshit!" Hiroshi spat. Your eyes widen in shock for a split second, hurt by how he replied, and Hiroshi knew he fucked up by saying the first words he didn't mean to say. But you instantly regain composure and was about to respond coldly until a deep tone interrupted.

"What a family feud you are causing here." The feigned surprised voice of Sukuna makes you bristle, giving him a death stare. Seriously why is this man even in your presence.

"He can leave tonight. Let him recover and rest from his bruises. But," He looks to you with that same dark expression that sent shivers down your spine, and it was the good kind of shivers, "if you think you can just house arrest my top fighter and micro-manage him, he's part of this world now and can do as much as he pleases, princess. So you shouldn't stop him."

The challenge he declared to you made your competitive side ablaze. You faced him head-on with a fearsome look of your own. "Hiroshi is not coming back here and that's final. Hiroshi, let's go."

What a conceited, self-centered bitch you are. He chuckles in his thoughts. Now he was interested in you and your confidence. Just as she swipes his arm with her shoulder, her classy and expensive heels echoing the tiled floor, he eyes his top fighter who was furious at the thought of being forbidden from coming back here. Sukuna stops Hiroshi by the shoulder, making the IED teen look at him.

"Don't worry kid, you're still allowed here. Can't have my top fighter out of the game now. We'll figure something out, but for now just go home and rest up." He hears Hiroshi grunt out a low "fine" before he storms out of the lockeroom with veiled rage.

As for you...he really is intrigued by your beauty, your confidence and finesse. But that attitude of yours has to be fixed. Give it time and you'll warm up to him soon.

---------------------------------------------

I am excited but nervous to write this series. I hope I did Sukuna justice with his personality here.
