[ scott flinches slightly at the barb in stiles' tone, but he doesn't argue. scott knows exactly how well he can hold a grudge, and drawing this out won't lead to anything other than stiles digging his heels in.
besides, this is fair. stiles deserves the chance to feel (rightly) pissed off, and scott deserves to deal with being shut out until stiles decides it's time to let him back in.
but that's the other difference; with the others, with isaac, that resolution doesn't feel guaranteed. knowing that they'll be okay eventually doesn't make this any less shitty, but it's an anchor that makes it easier to let it play out. he doesn't move for a few seconds after stiles turns his back to him, then there's a slight shifting of blankets as he settles in to sleep. or try to sleep, anyway. ]
