Stranded (Sterek AU)

Chapter Seventeen

Stiles is fast asleep, his head tucked into Derek's chest to hide from the sun, and Derek is curled around him. It's almost comical the way that Derek seems to fold his larger body into Stiles' smaller one, and Stiles suddenly feels someone staring at him so he blinks his eyes open to see his father staring at him. "What the hell, Dad?" Stiles asks, throwing the blankets over himself and Derek more. Derek doesn't wake up, he just grunts in annoyance before Stiles feels his deep breathing against his skin, and Stiles looks at his father while rubbing his eyes.

"Talia Hale called me saying that Derek didn't come home last night, and she was worried. Somehow I knew that he'd be here though." John tells him, and Stiles smile sat him before nodding his head at his father. Derek twitches at the mention of his name, but he goes back to sleep against Stiles that he's holding like stuffed animal. "Son. He needs to spend time with his family, okay? You can't call him down here just because you miss him." John says, and Stiles shakes his head while he moves to try to sit up.

"I didn't call him over. He came here to see me. He missed me." Stiles tells him, and John gives him a soft look while he moves to turn on the light to wake up Derek."Aw, Dad. Let him sleep. He's tired. Look at that sleepy face."Stiles says, gesturing to Derek. Derek's face is lax in sleep and Stiles smiles at him while he moves to pet his hair for him, his hair has 'I had sex last night' written all over it and Stiles really hopes that his father just ignores that since he really doesn't want to talk about it. Derek grunts in his sleep before throwing a pillow over his face to hide it from the sun, and Stiles smiles at him while he moves to looks at his dad.

"His mother is downstairs. So are Scott and Jackson." John tells him, and Stiles sighs as he moves to pull the blankets up more over his nudity. He really doesn't want to get up and go downstairs especially if Talia is mad at him for Derek coming over to be with him in the middle of the night. Stiles sits up before looking at him in confusion when his words are finally registered in his brain.

"Who's Jackson?" Stiles asks him, and John looks at him before he moves to hand his son some clothes. Stiles huffs as he slips on some boxers under the blankets,and he moves to watch as his father walks more towards the door to give him so privacy.

"He's the man that Scott has been seeing. I think they met on that cruise ship. He's been a big help for Scott since you went missing, and he works with the FBI." John tells him, and Stiles stops from where he was trying to put on some pants. "I know that you don't remember how you got into the water,but maybe if you think about it some more you could remember." John tells him, and Stiles smiles at him while he moves to look for a shirt to put on.

"I'll try, but I was drunk."Stiles reminds him. "And I think I hit my head, either on the way down or by the person who pushed me. Maybe I fell into the water on my own." Stiles says, shrugging but he isn't sure but that doesn't sound like something he would do. "Let me wake up Derek, okay? Tell Mrs. Hale that we'll be down soon." Stiles says, and John nods his head while he moves to leave them alone. Stiles sighs to himself while he moves to climb into the bed, and he shakes Derek lightly making the other man grunt. "Hey, sleeping beauty. Time to get up,okay? Your mother's here for you." Stiles says, and Derek cracks open an eye before he curls under the blankets more. "Derek,seriously. She's worried about you." Stiles adds on, and Derek doesn't seem to hear him.

"No. I'm fine right here. I'm not going anywhere." Derek says, his voice muffled by the pillow he has his face pressed against. Stiles sighs, a bit annoyed and a bit too fond, and he smiles at Derek while he moves to rub his back. Derek turns his head slightly to look at him, and Stiles sighs to himself while he moves to shake him again.

"Derek, yes, up. You need to see her, okay? She missed you more than anyone, and she needs you."Stiles tells him, and Derek turns to glare at him while he moves to stand in a huff while he moves to find his pants. "I know you're mad and don't want to hear it, but you just need to spend time with her." Stiles tells him, and Derek huffs again before he just climbs back into Stiles' bed. "You cannot stay in my bed all day,okay? If I can't than you can't." Stiles says, and Derek pulls him down to the bed with him.
