Be mine? Derek Hale

season 1 episode 5, 6 and 7

So for the next few days, till I feel better, I was staying with Derek. After the whole visiting Peter Hale at the hospital thing, Stiles dropped Derek and I to Derek's house. He hadn't eaten dinner and was gonna order out but I suggested I cook something,

"Not happening, not while you're sick"

"C'mon, you'd rather spend 20 bucks on something I can make at home?"

"Go to sleep"

"No"

"Sadie"

"Derek," he sighed. There was no winning with me. I smiled and left for his kitchen and it looked like a dragon had just burped there. He had some rice, chicken, some spices and things that were enough to make a gravy in the pantry but that's about it. I did the best I could and made some butter chicken and rice. Bringing the dish to the table, he looked quite surprised with what all I'd just done.

"This is....nice"

"Why thank you" I reply, sarcastically while he finished the rest of the food. Derek looks at me as if he were expecting me to sit down and eat too but I tell him I've already eaten.

I got a few texts from Stiles asking me how I am and what he should tell dad of my whereabouts. I text him saying I told dad I'd be staying with a friend for a while. Stiles went on a 17 text rant about how, if I need anything I should call him, even if I need to wake him up at 3:00am. I guess he still didn't trust Derek, which was stupid since I was here living with him.

I call Stiles later in the night and he's with dad, eating burgers and fries. He asks me what I'm doing and I was going to tell him but he abruptly ended the call, the last thing I heard being,

"Oh, no way"

I leave the room and try finding Derek. I had some questions about today afternoon but when I look around, he's not there. He must've gone out and so I decide to look around this place. There are around 7 rooms, 4 of which are locked up. There are 5 bathrooms and then the main hall and kitchen. I don't snoop into his room of course, even though I really want to. Just then, Scott and Derek walk in,

"You know, I have a life, too." I hear Scott say

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do! I don't care what you say about him making me his pet or-"

"Part of his pack."

"Whatever. I have homework to do. I have to go to a parent-teacher conference tomorrow because I'm failing chemistry."

"Do you want to do homework? Or do you want to not die? You have less than a week until the full moon. You don't kill with him? He kills you."

"Okay, seriously, who made up these rules?" I suddenly say and they continue their conversation, ignoring me

"It's a rite of passage into his pack."

"You know what else is a rite of passage? Graduating from high school! And you don't have to kill anyone to do it! Why can't you just find him yourself? Why can't you just sniff him out when he's a human?" Scott says, impatiently

"Because his human scent could be entirely different. It has to be you. You have a connection with him, a link that you can't understand. If I can teach you to control your abilities, you can find him."

"So, if I help you... you can stop him?"

"Not alone. We're stronger in numbers. A pack makes the individual more powerful."
