Lydia isn't always the damsel in distress. She protects Stiles as much as he protects her.

After Stiles talks Scott out of committing suicide, his flare accidentally ignites. Lydia knocks Stiles to the ground and shields him from the blast. Love is often instinctual. When it comes to Stiles, Lydia doesn't think. She acts.

Malia is confused by Stiles' refusal to leave Lydia. She explains as a coyote she'd leave Lydia for dead or "if hunting had been bad that season, I would eat her." It is a hilarious display of Malia's bluntness and continual struggle with her newfound humanity.

When Malia takes off to fight an animal stalking them, Stiles fears she left them. Malia's explanation is both honest and funny.

"I would never leave without you. Them, I would leave."

Knowing Malia will never abandon Stiles speaks volumes of her feelings for him. Give her time on Lydia and Kira. She'll warm up.

He is a werewolf. She is a werewolf hunter. Their star crossed status often forced Scott and Allison to sneak around. During one of their more meaningful car chats, Allison remarks she sees a future with Scott beyond high school and college. Scott's kiss lets Allison know he feels the same.

Until Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 11, Allison and Isaac only address their budding romance with intense glances and heavy silences. When Scott, Stiles and Allison need emotional tethers to bring them back from the dead, it is clear that Isaac is the person Allison has the strongest emotional connection with. Whoa. That's certainly one way to acknowledge you have feelings for one another.

Initially, Lydia volunteers to be Allison's tether, but Deaton insists her attachment is with Stiles. See? Even Deaton ships them. Stiles and Lydia are certainly a slow burn, but every so often Teen Wolf cranks up the heat. No matter what happens between them, Lydia will always be the person who brought Stiles back from the dead.

Stiles pined for Lydia all Season 1 (and Season 2 and Season 3...) but enough was enough. Fed up with the cold shoulder, Stiles is bolstered by a sudden surge of confidence (probably to mask his mind numbing fear) and demands Lydia dance with him.

But he doesn't stop there. Stiles simulatenously calls Lydia out for being an ice queen, while declaring all the things he loves most about her – primarily her intelligence. It is classic Stiles.

It's also a speech no girl, not even Lydia Martin, can say no to. Stiles' overjoyed reaction to Lydia's yes and the immediate coziness of their dance are simply the icing on the cake.
