Sterek : Unchained

Chapter 5: Plan A

Derek

I waited at Deaton's and all I could think about was Stiles. I wanted to see him so bad I couldn't stop moving. Now I understand why he's jittery all the time.

I kept pacing back and forth leading Deaton to give me a look.

"Don't say anything. I can feel what you're thinking. I don't want to hear it." I said still pacing in the lobby.

"I like seeing you this way. You're different and you have this energy about you." He said.

"Alan, I'm warning you. Shut it." I said.

He put his hands up in surrender while he gave a big toothy grin.

"I'm just saying, you seem happy. This is a good thing Derek. Your mother would be so happy knowing you've found your soulmate. You've marked Stiles, and now it can not be undone. So you pace around nervously waiting for him to show. It's entertaining to say the least." He said. I paused my walking and looked up to him.

"I marked him? What does that mean?" I asked.

"When a wolf finds their mate, they mark them. It's a way to show territory, a number one in life if you will. With werewolves, marking can quite literally mean a mark. It can almost be like a branding if you will. If this is a real connection you have created, Stiles will have the mark. It'll show when both of you have accepted the inevitable." He explained.

"A mark? Like a scratch? Are you meaning a literal mark on him?" I was so confused. Originally I just thought I basically turned on a part of the wolf I haven't before. Now he's saying I mark him?

"Well, as the lore goes, an alpha who finds his perfect half, a mark appears as a bond. So more than likely for werewolves, a mark will just appear. I'm not sure if it's a visible thing. I've never encountered this yet." He stated.

I nodded my head slowly and then I heard a door slam. I listened outside in hopes it was Stiles. I couldn't wait much longer to see him.

"I'm telling you dude, you've seriously got to come with me. If everyone plays a joke on coach, no one gets in trouble. It's too many people." Stiles said.

"Stiles, you know I have a date with Allison, I'm not coming with you to watch your crimes." Scott said back.

"But you love my crimes.." Stiles said.

The boys walked in and I couldn't stop my body. I rushed up to stiles and hugged him.

We stood there for about 4 seconds until I realized Scott was watching and had a very confused look on his face.

"Uh Derek, are you okay?" Scott asked as I pushed stiles off.

"Yeah, I'm just, well I never got to tell Stiles thanks for saving me yesterday." I said.

"Stiles, just tell him. This is getting weird." Scott said putting his backpack down in the waiting room.

"Okay I have to tell you, I'm sorry Derek. We already told each other." Stiles blerted out. I stood there stunned and I could feel my heart beating out of my chest.

"Okay so are you guys... Ya know..." Scott started.

I looked at him with a face so serious I could tell Scott was getting nervous.

"Yes, they are, or they will be eventually. Can we please get to the real problem here? This includes you Stiles, you're going to want to hear this." Deaton intervened.

We all followed him further into the building. The awkward silence between us three was growing but hopefully we can get over that, I hate stuff like this.
