[He doesn't notice how he starts to grin when she starts. She's good, she's way better than he would have guessed, and the grin grows as she brings up the messages. Because he agrees with them all: Stiles is the best friend anyone could have, Allison is the bravest person he's ever met and Lydia the smartest, Isaac might be rough around the edges but that's what makes him him, and that helps him push away how hard it's been lately to deal with him.
For that, at least, he's grateful.
He doesn't know what to do when she comes to his message, though. He doesn't agree - he doesn't know how he can be the best of anyone, because he needs them all so much. He needs to be brave for them, he needs to believe in them - and maybe that means believing them, too, about himself.
His smile is still there when he turns on his video. Not the bright grin it was before, but it's still solid, and real, and grateful.]
I'm so glad you weren't here when I sang to the Barge.
