An Unexpected Turn { sterek }

Chapter 5

*STILES P.O.V.*

I woke up with the thought of almost kissing Derek still running through my mind. Why did I do that? I mean he didn't turn away as fast I thought he would, but he did turn away at the most important time. I get up to go take a shower. I don't know how long I was in there but I also don't care. I get out and dry off not worrying about brushing my hair, I get on some cloths and go outside seeing that my jeep wasn't there I was confused for a minute but then remembered Allison had it. I call her.

           "Hey Allison, I was wondering if you where still at Dereks house with my car?"

She giggles sounding a little preoccupied, I cringe. "Yeah it's here do you need it?" 

          "Well  yeah but if you're busy I can just walk and come get it-" I get cut off by the line going dead. "Right... so looks like I'm walking then." I sigh and put my phone is my pocket starting to walk.

*DEREKS P.O.V.* 

I was up almost all night thinking about two things, 1: why I turned away from Stiles, and 2: why I didn't turn away earlier. I felt drawn to him when he started leaning in. It literally took every fiber in my body to turn away. I can't figure out why it was so difficult for me. I've never felt anything more- then well nothing for Stiles. He's just some kid who is Scotts friend and tells about stuff when we need it. He's our research guy. Everyone says that he's part of the pack but- is he really?

I shake the thoughts of Stiles out of my head and get dressed deciding to go for a run. I can hear Scott and Allison doing something I really wish they weren't doing here, but other than that everyone else is asleep in random places I look around then walk out seeing Stiles jeep. I get confused because I could have sworn he went home. I shrug and start running along the main road seeing someone in the distance but ignoring it for the moment. As I get closer I notice that it's Stiles I slow down and stop next to him. 

           "What are you doing?" I ask him.

He looks at me confused, "walking?" he says and keeps walking. I turn around and walk along side of him, which makes him even more confused might I add.

           "Where too and why?" 

           "I'm going to the loft to get my jeep then go home. I asked Allison if she could bring it but she was 'busy' so here I am." He shrugs clearly using every muscle in his body too look in front of him and not at me.

           "You're picking up your jeep then going home?" He just nods in return. "Why aren't you staying?" I then ask him.

He looks at me in a sort of shock, "Are you kidding?" I look at him confused urging him to go on. "Well one you guys only call or ask me too come over when you need something i.e. research about the thing you're hunting or trying to find or whatever. Then the one time you guys actually ask me to come along- still don't know why you did- I basically ruined the mission of catching or killing the kanima last night. I also got paralyzed, again, so you know that was fun." He finished and I take notice to the fact that he didn't bring up the kiss rejection.

           "And you tried to kiss me." I added. With that he stops, by then we're too my building and his jeep was on the other side of it.

           "Yeah I'm trying to forget that thanks for reminding me." He says and rolls his eyes walking towards the building, to get his keys I would assume. I follow after him.

            "You're trying to forget? You're not the one who almost got kissed by some kid." I say. He pauses for a second and I can literally hear his heart drop. He looks like he is going to turn around and answer but he just stands there for a second. He then shakes his head and keeps walking. I follow after him because now I'm angry, I don't know why I am I just am. "Don't ignore me Stiles!" I say but he still ignores me going inside the loft looking for his keys. I notice that there was literally no one left inside the loft, which confused me since they where all here before I left. I hear Stiles rummaging around the place looking for his keys. I see them on the shelf by the tv and grab them, I jingle them a bit so he'll look over. He looks over at me then walks over to grab them. I hold them back, "Nope not until you talk to me." 

He sighs, "What do you want to talk about then?" He asks.

            "Well a couple things but 1: why did you try to save me from the kanima? 2: why did you try to kiss me in the car after, and 3: why did you go back home instead of staying here like everyone else?"

He sighs again and sits down on one of the couches motioning for me too sit down as well, I sit on the chair next to the couch. "Well I mean the answers to you questions are all kinda the same answer..." He stops probably hoping I'll let it go and let him go home, not a chance. I sit and wait for him too continue.

             "Okay fine since you're not going to just let me go I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear. Derek I like you, like more than a friend and I know you literally don't even consider me a friend but its worth a shot right? Even if this ends badly with you rejecting me I don't think it really matters considering I'm never around anyway. But I tried to save you from the kanima because I didn't want to see the person I love die right in front of my eyes. Next I tried to kiss you in the car because you  weren't looking away from me and we where already close so I just took the chance, you see how well that worked out. And last I didn't stay here because you rejected me Derek then you just expect me to stay the night? No, that's not really how it works."

I just kind of sat there for a second processing it. I stand up and toss his keys to him, they land in his lap. His mouth falls open in shock and heartbreak then he looks up at me with tears in his eyes.

              "I think you should leave." I say.

              "Dere-" I cut him off.

              "Stiles get out, go home, leave. I don't  want you here I'll have Isaac or someone call you if we need research done or need your help until then, leave and don't come back." 

By then Stiles has tears streaming down his face with a heartbroken expression. He nods and stands up walking too the door, "I'm sorry." He says right before he leaves.
