December event

Request: #december2022 Derek Hale "I realized that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love." Angst with a happy ending?


You'd been upset when Derek had said he was going out of town. You'd reminded him that it was the holiday weekend and he shrugged saying it was just another day. Nothing special.

It was your first holiday together without some sort of supernatural disaster, so you'd thought that maybe he would want to spend some time with you. You'd put up the decorations alone, made yourself the food you'd brought for the two of you and watched old movies. Just before the food was done there was a sound of someone fiddling with the door and a knock. You'd double-bolted it with Derek gone and kept the key in the lock.

"Derek?" You said as you opened the door to find him standing on the doorstep. He looked sheepish and apologetic and had a bag with colourful ribbons poking out the top. "I thought you were busy."

"I realised that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love." He answered quickly and looked relieved that you had let him in.

"Cora yelled at you on the phone, didn't she?" You asked and he nodded.

"Yeah. For over an hour." He admitted and you chuckled.

"Well, you're just in time." You said as the oven dinged. Derek moved the table so that you could sit together and watch movies while eating and revealed that he'd managed to stop by a bakery to get your favourite dessert.
