*First chapter!*

"S. Stilinski!" The dean yells, and Stiles turns to wave at the flashing lights of camera was he moves to get his diploma. Stiles watches his feet until he gets to the Dean, and he shakes her hand before taking the piece of rolled up paper as he moves to get off the stage. He had just finished his degree in English and he had already been accepted to graduate school. Stiles swears he can hear his father even through the packed room, and he beams proudly at nothing as he shakes his one of his professor's hand. He throws his fist in the air, and he goes backstage where Scott is hopping up and down in excitement as his hand clenches around a piece of paper that he's worked so hard to get.

"We fucking did it! We are officially college graduates!" Scott screeches, and Stiles beams at him as he moves to give him a tight hug. He cannot believe this is happening, and he smiles as he dances around with him. Everyone, everyone who hasn't spend the last four years of their lives with Scott and Stiles, stares at them like they cannot believe what they're doing. They know they look ridiculous, but they're finally done with their Bachelor's degrees so they don't care too much. Stiles is going to keep going to school while Scott is done with education, and they are planning on a way to celebrate. Then again they both have student loans that they're about to have to start paying back so maybe not.

"Stiles?" John calls through the crowd, and Stiles turns to wave at him widely. John spots him and he grins as he makes his over towards him. Stiles drags Scott with him as he rushes towards his father, and he gives engulfed into a tight hug. "I'm so proud of you!" John tells him, and Stiles beams at him.

"Really?! Thank you, Dad!" Stiles grins, and John smiles widely at him. Stiles hates that his father had to drive so long to see him, but he's glad that he came to see him graduate. Not that John would miss his only son's graduation for the world, and Stiles was so happy that he took off work too. Scott turns his head around as he tries to find his mother and avoid his father at all cost, and Stiles has already volunteered as a human shield if his father tries to hug or speak to him.

"You too, Scott, I'm proud of you. I know your Mom is too." John says, and Scott blushes as he nods his head and he cannot stop smiling as his mother finds them. Stiles beams at them and they all move to get their real diplomas before going out to eat.

Later when Stiles and Scott are looking at a menu together, Melissa clears her throat to get their attention and Scott looks oddly excited for some reason. Well, that's not odd in the slightest since Scott is always sort of excited about everything and anything. "Yes?" Stiles says, and Melissa beams at him.

"Your dad and I have a present for both of you." Melissa says, and Stiles and Scott look at her curiously. "Well, a few weeks ago Scott was telling me about this cruise to Bora Bora, and John and I got you two tickets!" She says, excitedly. Stiles at her in surprise, he really doesn't think his father can afford that but he doesn't say anything since he's father looks so proud of himself at the moment.

"Seriously?! That's so amazing! Thank you!" Stiles says, excitedly as he moves to hug his father tightly as he can. Scott is talking a mile a minute at his mother who laughs in delight while Scott goes on and on about how much fun he and Stiles are going to have. Stiles sits back down before looking at Scott who is practically twitching with excitement as he looks around at his mother before looking at John.

"We're going to Bora Bora. That is so exciting." Scott says, burying his face into his hands as he tries to calm down before they get asked to leave the diner since everyone else is staring at them while Stiles hops in his seat as he looks from his father to his best friend. "We're going to have so much fun." Scott says, grabbing onto Stiles' arm who laughs at him in absolute delight.
