I always liked Malia and Stiles together. Stiles brought out the best in Malia. He never gave up on her. He believed in her. Malia, on the other hand, became his anchor (vice versa). She was his reason to keep fighting the dark side of himself while being possessed by the Nogitsune.

However, even before it was said, a small part of me still believed that Stiles liked Lydia. There were always those little things that he did that made it seem like more than just a friendship. He refused to leave Lydia alone with Young Derek Hale at the animal clinic, and he literally needed to be pulled out of the room by Scott. Once he saw Theo saved Lydia's life, to me, he sort of looked jealous, wondering why it couldn't have been him to save her life. He wouldn't take "no" for an answer when Lydia told him he shouldn't come to Eichen House with her. After Scott confirmed that Stiles still likes Lydia, I honestly wasn't too surprised. Maybe a little only because I thought 99% of his feelings for her had passed since he started dating Malia.

That was the episode I started realizing that maybe Malia and Stiles shouldn't be together. It's not fair of Stiles to have a girlfriend when part of him is still in love with his crush. It's not fair to Malia because she shouldn't have to be with a guy who still loves somebody else. It's not fair to Lydia because she doesn't deserve all of that trouble she's going to go through in the love triangle. It's not fair to Stiles either, because he's lying to himself. He's basically telling himself that he cares about Malia. Truthfully, if he loves anyone else then it's impossible he cares about Malia as much as he claims and acts like he does.
