Stranded (Sterek AU)

Epilogue-Two Years Later

*cries because it's over* 

Stiles is humming to himself while he moves to unlock the door to his and Derek's apartment, and he throws his work bag to the ground before he moves to put his keys away in the bowl that they by the door. "Hey, babe. I'm home."Stiles calls, and he hears a loud bark before Derek's large dog licks his cheek. "Not you. I can't stand you." Stiles says, petting the dog behind his ears anyways. He likes the dog well enough, but that doesn't mean he wants slobber on his face as soon as he walks into the door. "Where's Derek, Remus?" Stiles asks, and Remus barks as if to say to follow him before he takes off towards his and Derek's room.

Stiles chuckles softly to himself as he walks towards their room, and he pokes his head into their room to watch Derek. He's reading a book with one hand on his face as he tries to focus, and he looks confused so Stiles is pretty sure that he's reading something about history it's his worst subject that he had in high school. "Hey, babe." Stiles says, and Derek jumps  before turning to look at him with a happy but tired smile.

"Stiles. Hi. How was work?"Derek asks him, and Stiles shrugs his shoulders while he looks at him. Stiles has been working as a writer for a textbook company, but he almost taught some on the side mostly for fun. Derek had been studying for his GED test ever since everything calmed down, and they were left alone. Derek had finally went on a national talk show to tell his story, and Stiles was proud of him for finally talking about what happened to him. Remus barks at Derek before trying to hop into his lap like he was a puppy again, and Derek chuckles as he holds him closer to his body. "My puppy." Derek coos.

"Derek, that thing is almost as big as me." Stiles says, and Derek doesn't seem to listen to him."I swear you love that thing more than me." Stiles huffs, laying on the bed. Remus barks before giving him a smug look as if to say he knows, and Derek runs his hand through Remus' fur while he moves to close his book since his eyes are starting to burn and Stiles told him not to cram the night before since he could do worse on his test.

"He, not thing. And I love you more, you know that." Derek tells him, but he's looking at his dog so Stiles doesn't know which one of them he's talking to. Stiles sighs before he rolls over onto his back and he moves to look at his boyfriend while he shakes his head fondly. "Don't I, Remus? I love you but I love Stiles more." Derek says, and he's using his stupidly cute baby voice that he uses with his dog and Laura's newborn son when he holds him. "Shut up, Stiles." Derek says,fondly when Stiles doesn't stop laughing when he sees him coo at his dog.

"Nope. You're too cute with that ridiculous dog." Stiles sighs, and Remus barks at him as if he takes offense. "You know if you where a dog you would be just like Remus, both with how you look and act. I once tried to take him out to piss when it was cold and he refused to move until I let him use the potty pads which is gross because he's like seventy pounds and that's a lot of piss." Stiles says, and Derek laughs as he hugs Remus to him. Stiles doesn't know why Derek is so close to that dog,but he doesn't mind since he seems to make Derek happy. As long as Derek is happy then so he. "Remember that Scott and Jackson's wedding is this weekend and we have to leave Friday to drive to Washington, D.C." Stiles says.

"Virginia." Derek corrects him,and Stiles rolls his eyes at him while he moves to get dinner started. He doesn't really care where it is, just as long as they make it in time for everything.

"Yeah, yeah." Stiles says,kissing his cheek once before he moves to walk towards the kitchen."Whatever, baby. All I know is that it's a long drive." Stiles tells him, and Derek nods his head. Derek didn't feel comfortable enough to be on a plane again, and Stiles doesn't blame him. Stiles didn't even ask if he wanted to fly there, Derek seemed like he wasn't comfortable when Scott told them over the phone about getting plane tickets early so they're cheaper, and Stiles just took the blame for not wanting to fly.
