I'm starting this chapter on 18/08. let's see how long I take...

Derek's POV

-

if you are wondering how I conveniently appeared in front of Stiles while he was in need of help. it wasn't planned. It just happened.

The past few days I've been...busy, dealing with a certain dipshit. I probably could have handled the situation better and may have gone a little too far, but I can't go back now. I doubt I'm even a suspect since no one knows who I really am except of course my family ...and that teen Scott...and Stiles! oh crap, he's the sheriff's son! what if he finds out it was me-

"D-Derek?"

shit...I'd almost forgot what situation I was in right now. I'd found Stiles crying in a ditch.

I can smell blood, he must have fallen

"too close.." I heard Stiles whisper these words

Only now did I realise I was touching Stiles' face and was a little too close to him. I jumped back and apologised while looking away. How could I be so stupid, he's probably scared of me after well... I haven't made any good impressions...in fact, every time I've met Stiles (while he was conscious) Ive either run away or assaulted him. I know he didn't push me away that night in the woods, but it still wasn't ok. I need to fix this somehow.

No One's POV

-

Stiles was very much embarrassed, his face was burning up and could you blame him. Derek Hale just caressed his face and wiped away his tears. 'ugh, I cried in front of him how embarrassing' thought stiles as he tried to stand.

But as he rested his weight on his left leg in an attempt to get himself off the ground a sudden pain struck his ankle, 'i must have twisted it when I fell...shit..'

"ah!" Stiles hissed in pain. Derek heard his distress and spun around and dived towards Stiles. regretting it right afterwards as he'd acted on impulse...not thought. his sudden jumping at stiles made the poor boy fall backwards and back into the mud. Derek mentally punched himself for being so careless.

"you're hurt..." said Derek avoiding eye contact.

"aha...yeah, must have sprained it when I slipped into this ditch. god, it hurts like a bitch!" Stiles held his breath to hold back his voice, he just wanted to look strong in front of Derek.

Derek wasn't fooled, he could smell the pain he was in and knew he was keeping it in. Derek was hesitant to touch stiles, he'd made the mistake of touching him without permission too many times. He'd change that now...

"C-can I look?"

Stiles nodded, dazed and confused. he'd been unable to look away from Derek, 'was he always that good looking..'

A hand pulling up the cuff of his jeans pulled his head right out of the clouds.

"owww ow ow"

He looked down at his twisted ankle and Derek was assessing the damage

"it's not broken." said Derek with certainty.
