Until The Very End

Chapter 21

Derek POV
I'm just sitting here. Watching as his chest rises and falls. He needs to wake up. I need to know if he's okay.

*2 hours earlier*
"Derek please! You promised!" He yelled.

"Stiles, I can't. You could die!" I fought back.

"I'm already dying!"

"You never wanted it before."

"I wasn't dying before. Derek, you promised! You promised that if I was in the hospital and dying-which I am-and I wanted it, you would give it to me!"

"Stiles-" he cut me off.

"Derek. Please. I want to spend forever with you and I've barely had the chance to make a dent into that. I want to get married and go to college and get a shitty job that I come home and complain about. I want so many more damn puppy piles and to fall asleep in your arms. I want you and our pack and I can't have that if you don't even try to save me. Please! I've already lost so much, please don't make me forget you too." He begged.

"Derek, I love you. I want a chance to be able to say that so much more. Please. Please. I'll say it every single day. I'll say it so much you have to tell me to shut up. I'll tell you every morning and in the middle of the day and every single night and I'll say it so much that it will echo in your memory for the rest of forever. And please Derek-"

"I love you too, baby." I said. I pulled up his shirt. "This is going to hurt." I said. He gave me a smile.

"I figured." He said.

He cried out in pain.

"Please wake up, baby. I need to know you're okay."

*now*

I sighed leaning back in my chair. Shoving my hands into the pockets of my jacket I felt something.

I pulled out an envelope.

For Derbear

Was written across it in Stiles' handwriting making me snort.

I opened it.

Derek,

I love you so much. I need you to know that because I don't know how long I'll remember you, or us. I need you to remember so when I don't, you can tell me every single day. You can tell me how we met and how we are going to get married(even if you don't ever want that, just amuse me. I'm dying.) Tell me about the kids we don't have yet and how when we do have them we have two girls. Laura and Claudia. Tell me about our first date. Tell me what you saw in me that made you fall in love. Because I would do it for you.

You're the best thing to ever happen to me, Derek. I look at you and I just love you and it terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you. But I love that. I love loving you so much I would do anything to keep you. If I die whether it was the stupid dementia or if I actually managed to convince you to bite me and it didn't work, I want you to know, I love you.

I love you with all my heart. I've never loved anyone the way I love you. Just the thought of not being with you hurts. Physically. I'm in physical pain thinking about not being with you. Derek, you're an ass, but you're perfect. And I don't ever want to live in a world without you.

Save me. Please try.

I love you.

Love,
Stiles.

He gasped and sat up. "Stiles!" I yelled.
