Chapter Text
"Ok so we should get off in the next exit " Stiles said looking at his phone
"Are you sure? The last time you said that we had to come back after getting lost for 45 minutes" Derek asked
"Yes, I'm sure " Stiles said rolling his eyes " It happened one time, I wouldn't be lost if you just let me drive"
"You can drive the last one hour, Your toe just healed" Derek said checking the mirrors before entering the lane towards the exit
"And I told you I was fine " Stiles replied " I walked properly from the hotel "
"It's better to stay cautious, we are going to be in some very life threatening situations soon, so it's better if you don't over-exert yourself" Derek replied
" And what about you?" Stiles asked
"I'll be fine " Derek said
"Yeah you always are" Stiles said rolling his eyes
"Stiles I'm not shot and I feel fine" Derek said
" Stupid werewolf powers" Stiles grumbled
Derek smirked before they settled into a comfortable silence
Stiles connected his phone to the car and started playing songs by The Backstreet boys.
Stiles turned to look at Derek his eyebrows raised in shock as he silently sang the lyrics to show me the meaning of being lonely
"YOU listen to backstreet boys?" Stiles asked
"Yeah I do " Derek replied nonchalantly
"YOU listen to music?" Stiles asked still shocked
"Yes, Why is this so shocking to you?" Derek asked confused
" Because it's YOU" Stiles said " Dark, brooding Derek Hale listens to music? The backstreet boys?"
"Stiles I'm not dark and brooding" Derek replied
"Uh yes you are, you always have been" Stiles replied "From when we first met you had this sexy morally grey vibe thing going on"
"Sexy morally grey vibe?" Derek asked smirking as he raised his eyebrows "You thought I was sexy?"
Stiles shut his mouth embarrassed " I mean there is no point in denying it now , but THAT'S what you got from what I said?"
"I like the sound of that , but 15 year old you thought I was sexy?" Derek smirked
"I'm never gonna hear the end of this am I?" Stiles asked
"Nope" Derek said " So tell me more about what you thought of sexy morally grey me"
"Derek "Stiles whined " This is so embarrassing God"
"No I'm serious" Derek replied
"Derek I am not going to tell you more about what teenage me thought of you" Stiles replied
" Ok how about this" Derek started "If you tell me what you thought of me, I'll tell you "
Stiles looked at Derek suspiciously before saying "You swear?"
"I swear "Derek said putting one hand up
"Ok, If you don't I am never talking to you again" Stiles replied
"Oh no , How would I survive that" Derek asked sarcastically
" Sarcasm won't get you any closer to the truth Hale" Stiles replied
"Alright Stillinski, can you get to the point already" Derek replied
"Fine fine" Stiles replied " When I first saw you, I was a little intrigued by you, I had read about you and your family history ..and I didn't really know anything other than the fact that you were a couple of years older than us"
"I thought you were really good looking " Stiles said looking outside as Derek turned to look at him before looking back at the road
"And after we started to get to know you I thought you were kindof creepy in the beginning because you just magically appeared in places and were behind Scott, but then I kind of realised that you did it to protect Scott and he trusted the wrong people "Stiles continued
"Eventually I don't know when but..."Stiles replied sighing " I started to get close to you and... I got to know about your..past and Paige..."
" And I realised what made you the way you were, and why.. why you were so protective of Scott.." Stiles said
"Derek you can tell me if you don't want to talk about it but..." Stiles started " I.. I ..didn't entirely believe Peter's version of things ..and I want to know your side.."
Derek sighed before saying "Stiles..I trust you ..more than anyone, if you have any questions you can ask me.....It doesn't hurt me as much anymore"
Stiles gave Derek a small smile before saying" Peter told me that you..wanted to give her the bite so you could be with her forever"
"Peter got in my head about her finding out and not loving me..and he tried to manipulate me into believing that it was the only option..I was a little hesitant until the very end.." Derek said
"But ..I let Peter get to me and I lost her " Derek replied "And when she was dying in my arms..she told me..that she always knew I was different"
Stiles looked at Derek concern filling his eyes "Derek I am so sorry , Fucking Peter, He told me and Cora that it was all your decision"
"Yeah well, Now you know" Derek said
"But even she deserves to know the truth " Stiles replied
"Yeah but as long as you and I know, does it really matter?" Derek asked
"I..I guess not " Stiles said
"Now please continue where you left off" Derek said
"Really?" Stiles asked raising his eyebrows
"Yep go on "Derek replied
"Alright, After I knew about Paige and everything you have been through...something changed in me and I guess I realised that you were just misunderstood." Stiles replied "It wasn't pity though, I looked up to you because you were so strong despite everything you have been through ..and once you chose to believe Scott over Jennifer-"
"You" Derek interrupted
"What?" Stiles asked
"I believed you Stiles" Derek said "Scott to a level but mostly you"
"Oh" Stiles said "I didn't know that"
"Yeah Well I never made it evident" Derek said
"Yeah.." Stiles said
"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt" Derek said "Continue "
"Well after that I think..I started to like you and I didn't really realise it until you were taken in Mexico and even then I just tried convincing myself it wasn't really anything important" Stiles said
"And yeah after you were injured I realised you were my anchor and well I realised I was head over heels for you" Stiles said
"Hilarious Stiles" Derek replied
"It's true , Those steely green eyes and the tight sweaters only helped your cause "Stiles replied
"Glad to know "Derek said smiling
"You have a really nice smile Derek" Stiles said looking at him
Derek bit the inside of his cheek stopping himself from smiling "Thank you" He muttered
"Stop resisting it" Stiles said poking his arm "You know somebody could fall in love with your smile, you should smile more often"
"I don't want anyone to fall in love with my smile , I have you" Derek replied
Stiles heart skipped a beat as he heard that a blush creeping up on his face "Jesus Christ Derek "Stiles replied
"You can't just say things like that" Stiles called out
"Why not? It's the truth" Derek said
"I..I it's ..it's you "Stiles stammered "You don't say things like that , you turn me into a teenage boy who has this obvious crush when you say things like that"
"I like that I have that effect on you "Derek replied
"Alright alright quit distracting me , it's your turn " Stiles said crossing his arms
"Fine Fine" Derek replied "When I first got to know you, I thought you were kind of annoying and didn't understand why you were always with Scott "
"Eventually I realised you were way smarter than Scott, way smarter than most of us to be honest and I eventually didn't mind having you around. " Derek continued " Once I became the Alpha, I realised how helpful you were and when the Alpha pack came into town."
"When I..I had to kill Boyd "Derek sighed "And you came to help me...when you.. put your hand on my shoulder to comfort me, I realised how much I needed you in that moment.. how much I depended on you.."
"And when you got possessed by the Nogitsune, I thought it couldn't be you, I even downplayed it when I was told that you might be the Nogitsune but when it turned out to be true, I spent so long looking for you. When you were in the hospital, I waited for you with Scott, but I didn't know what to say and just made sure you were alright before I left "Derek continued
" That's when I realised I felt something for you.. when I thought you were gone.." Derek replied "And it was sortof confirmed after I was shot by Kate, I had a dream where I saw you and asked you, if you knew when to know the difference between a dream and a reality "
"I asked you and you told me that we had extra fingers in dreams, and then I realised you were my anchor" Derek replied "When I came back I realised that you were with Malia, and I know it was stupid but ..I guess I tried distracting myself with Braeden ...But when I got shot while we were trying to save Scott.. I realised that you cared about me ..when I saw that you wanted to stay back with me .."
"And I needed to become a better person..to be able to be good enough for you" Derek replied "So I left"
Stiles turned to look at Derek and put his hand over Derek's "Derek "He said sighing "You were always good enough for me, I cared about you no matter what, And I realised that even when I was with Malia ..that what me and her had wasn't right.. but you.. I always felt strongly about you "
Derek looked at Stiles before saying "Stiles, I wasn't really the best person when I became an Alpha, I make a lot of wrong choices"
"I know you weren't perfect, but no one is, and you made mistake, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it . And I wanted you irrespective of that.. You were the perfect person for me "Stiles replied
"Stiles..." Derek said looking at him for a second before looking back at the road
"Derek, You can hear my heartbeat. You know I am not lying" Stiles replied " I wish I could show you but.. I wanted you then Derek and I want you now. I will chose you, time and time again"
Derek smiled and said " You keep talking like that I may do something I will regret"
Stiles tilted his head amused before saying " Using my own dialogue against me ?Who are you and what have you done to Derek Hale"
Derek grinned before paying attention to the road.
"How much longer ?" Derek asked
"Uhm it says her 1 hour 40 minutes" Stiles said looking at his phone
"Do you want to grab a bite to eat before we reach Beacon Hills?" Derek asked
"Nope, I stole some sandwiches from the breakfast buffet for us" Stiles said turning to grab his backpack
He pulled out 3 sandwiches and 2 cans of orange juice "You can't be serious right now"Derek said
"What ?" Stiles asked "I got 2 for you cause you know you are all big and muscley "
"Big and muscley?" Derek asked raising his eyebrows "Really Stiles?"
"It's true though "Stiles replied "Pull over at the next rest stop we can have this and then go ahead"
"Alright" Derek said as he continued driving for 20 minutes before pulling over at the rest stop as they had their lunch before heading back to Beacon Hills
Stiles took a quick nap before they reached and woke up when they were 20 minutes away
"Ok, now let me drive" Stiles said
"Ok, let me pull over" Derek said as he pulled over before they switched seats
" Are you sure your toe is fine?" Derek asked as Stiles started to drive
"Yes It is, you literally took away most of my pain, it feel like I stubbed my toe on some furniture, but I'm fine " Stiles replied
"If you say so" Derek replied
After 15 minutes of driving Derek said "Hold on, I can catch a scent "
"Who is it?" Stiles asked pulling over
"I think it's Scott and Malia but I can hear gunfire too" Derek replied stepping out of the car
"Ok I'm gonna go walk to see if there is any trouble ahead " Derek said walking over to Stiles side
"Whoa you aren't going into a gunfire just like that" Stiles said turning to face Derek
"I'm not going to go into the gunfire I'll just hide and look out for any threats before giving you a signal to go ahead" Derek said
"Are you sure about this?" Stiles asked
"Yes Stiles I am, I'll go ahead and you follow me slowly with the car , I'll give you a heads up and you can go" Derek replied
"Ok fine" Stiles said "But please be safe"
"I will" Derek replied walking away from his car and heading towards the scent with Stiles trailing behind in his car slowly
Derek lifted his hand up gesturing Stiles to stop before he walked over to him and said "It looks like Scott and the other are cornered , you can hit one of them with you jeep and I'll be there by your side"
"I don't like the sound of that but okay" Stiles said "I swear to god if you get shot I'm gonna kill you"
"Stiles I am not going to get shot" Derek replied
"You better not" Stiles said furrowing his eyebrows "Ok then let's do this"
Stiles gave Derek one last look before moving a little ahead to see Scott caught in the crossfire almost cornered and saw a hunter almost taking a shot at him before turning on his headlights and flooring it in turn hitting the hunter
Stiles peeped outside his car a surprised look on Scott's face "You didn't think you were doing this without me did you?"
"Without us?" Derek interrupted standing in front of him making Stiles roll his eyes in response.
After what seemed like ages the fight finally came to an end as they all gathered in the library to see Scott's eyes bleeding
Stiles felt Lydia's hand as she held his turning to look at her for a second before Malia kissed Scott and his eyes began healing
Stiles put his hand over his mouth relieved as he let go of Lydia's hand before looking at Derek who had the same look of relief on his face.
As they all headed out, Derek walked up to Stiles and said "Hey, you doing ok?"
"Yeah I'm doing ok, how about you?" Stiles asked
"I'm fine " Derek said
"Listen, I am going to talk to Lydia now.. uhm so I'll see you tomorrow?" Stiles asked
"Yeah , I'll grab my bag and head it to the loft, I am a little tired from all the driving "Derek replied
"I freaking knew it" Stiles replied "I told you you should've let me drive "
"No, even if i was injured I would prefer driving rather than letting your toe get worse " Derek replied
"Ugh whatever, just get some rest, I'll see you tomorrow" Stiles said handing him the jeep keys
"Whatever you say sir" Derek replied heading towards the jeep and grabbing his bag before heading back to give Stiles the jeep keys to find Lydia talking to Stiles
Derek sighed before walking up to them
"Hey Derek" Lydia called out making Stiles turn around
"Hey Lydia "Derek replied
"I just wanted to give this back to you " Derek said handing the keys to Stiles
"Oh, Thank you" Stiles said
"Goodnight guys, get home safe" Derek said waving them goodbye before heading back to his loft.
Once Derek reached his loft he activated all the alarms and cleaned the place a little before taking a shower and getting ready for bed
Derek pulled on his sweatpants and crashed on his bed tired. Derek woke up startled to hear the loft in the alarm go off as he grabbed the knife in his drawer before getting up to see a shadow on the other side attempting to open the loft door.
Derek walked cautiously and hid behind the pillar closest to the door as the loft door creaked open. Once he heard the door shut Derek moved out of his spot and pinned the person's arms to the wall with one hand as the other hand holding the knife was on their throat
"Ouch" A familiar voice said
"Stiles?" Derek asked looking at the familiar face in front of him
"I know this is supposed to scare me but I am honestly a little turned on" Stiles said as Derek removed the knife and let go of Stiles arms
"Stiles what the hell I could've hurt you" Derek replied taking a step back
"How?By pinning me to the wall when you aren't wearing a shirt?" Stiles asked raising his eyebrows
"With the knife" Derek replied like it was obvious
"But you didn't,I am a-ok" Stiles replied
"What are you doing here trying to sneak in?" Derek asked "You could've just knocked instead of setting off the alarms"
"I like to make an entrance" Stiles said shrugging
Derek rolled his eyes walking away to place the knife back in his drawer " What the hell are you doing here anyway Stiles, It's way too late for you to be running around this late in a town known for being a supernatural hotspot"
"Well I came to tell you that I am ready to do some things I am sure I will no longer regret" Stiles said walking up to Derek who was leaning against the table his hands crossed against his chest
Derek raised his eyebrows "Weren't we supposed to meet tomorrow?"
"I couldn't wait " Stiles replied standing in front of Derek looking down at his lips "To be honest, I don't really want to "
Derek uncrossed his arms before putting his hands on Stiles hips pulling him closer as Stiles rested his hands on Derek's bare chest smirking
"I like the sound of that "Derek said smiling looking down at his lips " Now I'm gonna make sure you never regret this" He said leaning in as Stiles did the same
Derek captured Stiles lips in his starting out slow as Stiles moved his hand to Derek's neck as Derek's hands roamed Stiles back. Stiles moved his hand to grab Derek's face before deepening the kiss as he slipped his tongue their bodies moving in sync.
Derek moved his arms under Stiles's shirt caressing his back before moving it down to his thighs and lifting him off the ground as Stiles let out a surprised squeak before wrapping his legs around his waist as Derek flipped them around pressing Stiles against the table their lips not leaving each other.
Stiles moved his body against Derek's as he slipped his hand down to Derek's chest before letting it rest on his abs
Derek pulled away before leaning in to nip at Stiles neck gaining a moan from Stiles. Derek continued to leave marks on Stiles neck as his hand moved to Stiles shirt his hands moving under it before tugging at it.
Derek pulled away for a second before lifting up Stiles shirt and pulling him back in
"Derek" Stiles moaned as Derek "Bed"
Derek lifted Stiles up with ease and walked over to his bed leaning down to put Stiles down before crawling over him and caging him as he leaned down to kiss him his hips moving to feel Stiles' erection straining in his pants
Derek trailed kisses from Stiles neck down to his waist before tugging Stiles pants along with his boxers
"Not fair" Stiles groaned "'You're still wearing your sweatpants"
Derek backed away from Stiles before stepping out of his sweatpants freeing his erection and leaning down to kiss Stiles neck trailing downwards to his collar bone and biting it lightly making Stiles moan.
Derek left a mark on Stiles's neck making Stiles thrust up involuntarily as they moved their lower bodies together. Derek trailed kisses down to his hips before taking his erection in his hand and slowly pumping it in his fist leaving Stiles breathless.
Derek pumped his fist in slow motions jacking him before leaning down and licking just the tip
"Fuck Derek" Stiles moaned out loud bucking his hips upwards as Derek's moved his mouth over his length sucking him deep over and over again.
Stiles started panting as he moved his hand to grasp Derek's hair as Derek continued attacking his length
"Derek , I'm so close , Hold on" Stiles panted as Derek came to lie down next to him. Derek took both of their lengths in his hand and started pumping them up getting them closer to their climax.
"Fuck Derek" Stiles moaned which made Derek pump his fists faster as Stiles finished and Derek followed soon after.
Derek grabbed a couple of tissues to clean themselves off before pulling him closer to his chest as Stiles wrapped his arms around his waist kissing him
"Derek Hale you are going to be the death of me" Stiles said pulling back and gazing into his hazel green eyes
Derek leaned in to place a kiss on his forehead before capturing his lips in his own "And I am never letting you go again Stillinski"
