SINCE THE MOMENT YOU STEPPED INTO THE LOFT YOU SHARE WITH DEREK, HE SEEMED TO FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE. you were well aware of some of his instincts he often fell into without realizing it. most of the times you absolutely loved when he did. as affectionate as he already was with you, he seemed to be even more so when falling into the wolf inside him.
he wouldn't allow a centimetre of space between the two of you. he constantly had to be touching you in any way, whether it be knees touching each other when sitting next to each other in a pack meeting. or his hand on your thigh when driving, or even legs tangled together when you'd be in bed doing work on your laptop. he always needed to be close to you one way or another, especially since he wasn't one for many words but to showcase his love for you through his actions.
the first few months of your relationship with derek wasn't the easiest or what you would consider normal. there was obvious trust issues between the two of you. it wasn't directed at one another, it was more of things from what you both had gone through in past relationships that made it hard. however, derek knew he could trust you entirely. there was something about you that brought him such a home and comforting feeling, something he's never felt before. he was just waiting for you to be able to trust him entirely that way he could do so. he didn't want to immediately dive in and not have you be on the same page as him.
the two of you were also holding back from being vulnerable with one another. derek didn't want to seem like he was being weak and it was hard for you to be vulnerable. your previous boyfriends always seemed to invalidate you and your feelings, making you out to be a burden when you were open and vulnerable with them. you were scared that if you were too vulnerable, derek would flip the switch on you. though from the time you met him and got to know him more and more, you could clearly see he wasn't that type of guy to make you feel bad about yourself. if anything, he was the type of guy to always make sure his significant other knew how much he loved and cared for them.
until there was one night when you completely broke down, your outburst shocking derek to say the least. he had gone out on a hunt with scott and his pack, which you hadn't minded. derek didn't go out with them much, so you knew when he decided to go with the pack, he needed to do so as his wolf would get antsy. though that one night he did go with them, he ended up getting hurt as he got caught in the crossfire of an out of control lone wolf. so when he came home bloody and scratches all over his skin, you held it together to help him clean up. then you snapped.
