In too Deep ((Sterek #1))

Chapter Sixteen: Awkward

*Stiles

Stiles tensed at the sound of his dad's voice and pushed Derek off of him, sending the werewolf to the floor. "Dad!" he said, his voice kind of squeaky. "I ummmm" he said not really sure what to say. "I uhh....."

Sheriff Stilinski shook his head slightly, "We'll talk about this in the morning" he said before turning to look at the werewolf. "I'm sure you can find your own way out" he said before backing out of the room and going back to his own.

Derek groaned softly and sat up as he looked between the sheriff and Stiles. Well that could have gone better. He pushed himself up onto his feet and chuckled softly, "Have fun with that conversation" he said and sat down on the bed.

Stiles laughed, "Yeah sorry about pushing you off, was just a little shocked" he said and smiled at Derek.

Derek smiled "Don't worry about it" he said and leaned in to kiss the human. "Would probably have done the same thing" he said, he knew he should leave but he couldn't bring himself. Not with everything that is going on. He stood up anyway "I should probably get going" he said and walked towards the window.

Stiles smiled, "Good, I'm glad you're not upset" he said and laid down on his bed, "Now come on let's go to bed" he said and moved over a bit to make room. "And since I know you're not going to actually leave you might as well sleep here with me rather than outside" he said.

Derek chuckled softly, "Your dad probably won't like this" he said, since the guy practically kicked him out. He crawled under the covers with Stiles anyway.

Stiles smiled and snuggled close to his man, "Who cares, I'm eighteen can do what I want" he said and relaxed into the bed.

Derek chuckled softly and wrapped his arm around him, "Okay, but if I get arrested for trespassing I'm you" he said jokingly.

Stiles snorted and shook his head slightly, "Same rules apply to you buddy. You're twenty Three, can do what you want" he said and kissed Derek's cheek before laying back down and closing his eyes. "Now ssssshhhhhh" he said and made himself comfortable before falling asleep.

*Stiles

Sheriff Stilinski sighed softly as he sat down at the kitchen table and looked at Stiles. "Look, I really don't care if you like guys or whatever," he said, though that did actually surprise him very much. "It's more like your choice in men," he said and study his son for a moment. "Think you could do a little better than Derek," he said, kind of still blaming the werewolf for what's happened to his son.

Stiles shrugged, "Not really into guys dad. I just I don't know" he said and shrugged slightly. "It's hard to explain, but it's because it is Derek dad, can't just be any guy," he said, trying but probably failing as he explained.

Sheriff Stilinski nodded slightly, "riiight" he said and paused a moment as he tried to think of something to say. He never thought he'd have to have this conversation with him, so he really wasn't prepared for it. "How long has this been going on?" he asked after a moment, curious about how long his son has been keeping this a secret.

"Actually only think one day," Stiles said with a smile. "The other day when you walked in on the mess was when it started," he said, and then the room kind of just fell into an awkward silence, neither of them really knowing what to say now.

Sheriff Stilinski sighed softly and ran a hand over his head "So uh... What is it?" he asked after a while. "Between you two I mean?" he asked, kind of wondering if this was just a fling or a faze. Weird faze but ya never know.

Stiles shrugged slightly, "I don't know dad, basically just start yesterday. Haven't put a label on it and I don't know if we will" he said and shrugged again. "I do know how I feel around him though." He said with a smile. "He makes me feel safe, and warm inside. Whenever I see him I can't help but smile, and I love spending time with him. He's amazing dad, if you'd take the time to get to know him you'd agree" he said

Sheriff Stilinski smiled small, "Okay, I guess I can take your word for it" he said and study his son once more as the awkward silence grew. "Though I guess as long as you're happy that's all that matters" he said after several moments.

Stiles smiled and nodded slightly, "Yeah I'm very happy" he said and chuckled softly before standing up. "You're great dad" he said and kissed his dad's cheek before hurrying out of the kitchen. "See ya later" he said and pulled his keys out of his pocket before hurrying out the door, glad to be down with that awkward conversation. He walked over to his jeep and started the engine before pulling out of the driveway. He sped down the street towards Derek's place, though he didn't figure he was even there. He was pretty sure he never actually left his house, but he also figured that the werewolf would be here soon,, if he had made it there before him.

Stiles slowly climbed out of his jeep and locked the doors before heading up to Derek's loft. He paced in the hallway for a few moments, trying to shake off the awkwardness of the conversation he had with his dad. After a moment he realized he was being ridiculous and just knocked on the door.

*Derek

Derek had decided not to listen in on the conversation Stiles was having with his dad and just went home. He figured he'd be okay with the Sheriff, and he knew that Stiles would probably come over once they were done so he really had nothing to worry about. It was almost a half an hour before he heard the knock on his door, the scent of his human drifting in under the door. He inhaled, a smile spreading across his face as he walked over to open the door. "Hey" he said as he opened it and let him in. "How'd it go?" he asked.

Stiles smiled at Derek as he walked in, "Like you don't already know" he asked, still thinking the werewolf had been eavesdropping.

Derek chuckled, "I don't" he said and shook his head slightly. "I left so the two of you could have some privacy" he said.

"Oh, well it was awkward" Stiles said and scoffed slightly. "He okay with the whole guy thing, just doesn't like you" he said and walked over to the couch to sit down. "But whatever, don't really care what he thinks" he said and looked at him.

Derek smiled and walked over to sit down next to him, "That's good I guess" he said, a little bummed that his boyfriend's dad didn't like. What happened to no labels? He asked himself with a small shake of his head.

Stiles smiled and moved a little closer to him, "Don't worry about it. He'll warm up to you, everyone kind of does eventually" he said with a smirk. "You're just kind of an acquired taste" he said jokingly.

"Oh gee thanks Stiles" Derek said with a smile before kissing him softly.
