Am I Special

Chapter 3

-And the clock ticks on the wall-

Stiles' dad

It's 3 a.m. when the Sherrif walks into Stiles room in the hospital... he just off work... and he sees Derek is there ...like he is everyday since this happened... it's been 4 weeks ... and everyday he comes in and stays here with his son and this werewolf that loves him... and they hardly say a word to each other... the nurse says he comes in around midnight and stays with Stiles till dawn... he never moves from his side... he sees him there now....holding onto Stiles hand like it's his anchor...without it he would slip away... he can see the anguish in Derek's face.. he places a hand on Derek's shoulder and squeezes..he knows the man new he was there before he even got to the room..wolf senses or something.... Derek moves his other hand up and pats the hand on his shoulder.... then the sherrif hands him a cup of coffee...not the garbrage they have in the hospital..but good stuff from the coffee shop... He can remember the first time he remembers Derek Hale... a yound man...around same age as Stiles... he had to tell him and his sister that their house had caught on fire and that the family was all dead... he remembers the look in his eyes ..it's the same as the one now.... He decided today was the day they would talk.

"Derek... can we talk.. about you..the pack...Stiles ..and you?" The sheriff asked softly again placing a hand on Derek's shoulder.

"I guess sir..what do you want to know?" Derek says never taking his eyes off Stiles... hoping to see some kind of movement..something that would annouce he was coming back.

Derek answered every question ... especially the ones about Stiles..how he had saved his life more times than he could count... how brave he was...and all he ever thought about was protecting his friends ...family..pack... and yes humans can be in a wolf pack..just like his when he was a child.. and he tells him when he realized he really loved Stiles and couldn't stop wanting him was when they were trapped in the pool and Stiles kept him allive by holding him up for over 2 hours... he had always been attracted to Stiles..but he can be a handful ..annoying sometimes...so he would push him away.... he told him about the night all this happened.. that he found Stiles on Beanon hill..that he was about to step off the cliff....the kiss Stiles gave him....it had shocked him.... he didn't know what to do ..to say...and then Stiles passed out... then this.

"you really love my boy?" the sherriff asks.

"With every part of me... I know we are meant for each other.. it's a wolf thing..." he assures the sherrif.

He looks at Derek... pulls out this notebook."I debated on wheter to give this to  you... it's Stiles journal.. it stops about 3 weeks ago...but I think you should read it son." the sherrif says softly handing him the notebook.

Derek looks at the man... the sherrif walks over to a chair and sits down and sighs... Derek opens the journal .. and it's the story of Scott... the first meeting with Derek in the woods.. when they were looking for the inhaler... "Derek hale steps out in front of us today...my god he is hot...strong... looks like batman...i get butterfiles in my stomach when I look at him... everyday ..their is something about Derek...his eyes...how he broods.... then he comes to an entry.... Stiles can't believe it but he's in love with Derek... he can't stop thinking about him... but he's scared Derek will reject him and that would kill Stiles...not to be able to be around him not to help him..not to know he's safe... He wanted to kiss Derek....he was going to get drunk and find that sourwolf and kiss him... that way he could play it off if Derek rejected him... he could still be pack  and make sure Derek was Ok.

Derek started crying as he set the notebook down...... the sherrif came over... bent down  and hugged him... and whispered."See he loves you too.... We will all get through this together."
