Rebel ♛ Derek Hale [1] #wattys2016

12. powers

"She's cute, Derek. Is she your girlfriend?" Mikayla asked, the same stupid smirk plastered on her face as she approached Rebecca and gently grabbed a lock of her brown hair before letting it fall.

"Not exactly." Derek answered, looking absolutely terrified as his eyes darted between Mikayla and Rebecca.

"My name is Rebecca McCall." Rebecca told her, raising her chin slightly.

"That's nice and how old are you? 12?"

"Back off, Mikayla." Derek warned, standing beside Rebecca. "I'm sorry, Becs, I wasn't expecting a visitor, but I think Mikayla and I have a lot to talk about. Why don't you and Stiles take Scott home and I'll come see you at a reasonable time in the day?" Derek suggested, giving her a pleading look.

"Sure, I guess I'd better get to bed actually." She said, smiling at the two before turning to get Stiles and Scott when Derek grabbed her arm and spun her back around to face him.

"I promise I'll be around later. Take it easy, okay?" he said, softly pressing his lips to her forehead before releasing her.

"Okay." She nodded, again turning to go get Stiles and Scott but instead ended up facing them. "Well, that was good timing. Let's go."

"Sure, Becs." Stiles answered, wrapping his arm around her shoulders in a friendly manner with Scott on the other side of her.

"Thanks, Derek." Scott said to the alpha as they were walking out. "I really appreciate you saving me."

"I know." Was all Derek replied with, too confused by Mikayla to concentrate on much else. He had told her always and now that she was in front of him a few years later, he knew he didn't mean it. They were kids when she left, he was sure she didn't still mean it, but then again he was also sure he'd never see her again..

Rebecca fell asleep during the second Star Wars movie with her head on Stiles' lap while he played with her hair. Which is why she woke up in with Stiles' hand tangled in her hair and his head lolled to the side in what looked like a very uncomfortable position. Looking closer at her friend she noticed drool escaping his mouth which caused her to giggle quietly at his state.

"Morning, sweetheart." Mrs McCall smiled as she walked into the lounge room, "You and Stiles look pretty cosy there."

"We're just good friends, mum, but he is awfully comfortable." Rebecca whispered, trying not to wake Stiles up.

"How are you feeling? I bet that school camp really took it out of you." Her mum said, confusing Rebecca before she realised that that must have been what Scott told his mum when she wasn't home.

"Yeah, it definitely did, but it was good. I had fun."

"I bet. I'm gonna go have a nap, I'll see you later, Becca."

"Sure, mum. Sweet dreams." Rebecca smiled, getting a fright when Stiles' hand began to play with her hair again. "Good morning, Stiles. You've been drooling." she grinned, watching Stiles look down at her with a sleepy smile

"Ugh, sorry." He mumbled, hastily wiping his mouth with his spare hand. "You have a nice face to wake up to."

"Thanks, Stiles, so do you." Rebecca laughed, still grinning up at her friend.

"We should probably get up."

"Probably, but you're really comfy and I don't want to." Rebecca admitted, rubbing her face with her hands sleepily. "I wonder what the time is, Derek said he'd come see me since we never got our talk."

"Yeah I know, Scott and I were listening. Who's Mikayla anyway? I've never heard of her before."

"Me neither, but Derek looked like he'd seen a ghost so she must have been important to him." Rebecca shrugged, trying not to get jealous over it. "She was very pretty."
