Eternal (Sterek)

Ive traced galaxies

  When I traced the freckles on your back,
                             I told you
            I had run my fingers through
    dust from countless stars and galaxies,
              yet I had never seen a more
                  beautiful constellation.

Stiles was exhausted, the chilly air outside began to freeze over the cracks of his broken window letting in a subtle breeze. Derek sat in the ripped spiny chair in front of the computer, his damaged wrists started to scab over slowly, Stiles sat on his bedroom floor arranging his homework into separate piles, every so often his wrist would twitch if he did nothing for more than a minute, Derek paid no mind to it. He wanted to know  where that rabid wolf came from and how it even became rabid, werewolves are prone to even getting infection, rabid werewolves were only folk tale to packs with teenagers to scare them, the stories were always different though. Wolves would have glowing white eyes or have black goo dripping from their mouths, the most interesting story Derek has heard about rabid wolves was the bleeding from the eyes, but all of that would only happen to omegas or betas, Alphas going rabid happened just very rarely, it was weird, the stories always got flipped around. The truth is, Alphas can only go crazy, but they can not pass the rabid virus around, they can only receive the bite, that was Derek's conclusion.

A long sigh escaped Stiles, he drummed his pen and pencil against the Human body structure text book. "My dad will be home in like five minutes so did you find anything or did you just pick and your wrist and chase your tail?"

Derek rolled his eyes slumping back in the chair. "It's all just bed time stories for parents with stubborn pups who don't want to sleep, like the boggy man. It's not real, yeah alphas go crazy but it's not like rabies, we can't pass it on through a bite, it's a plant that sets it off, it just doesn't add up. How can an omega or a beta get rabies? They don't react to the plant like alphas" he scratched the back of his neck than set it down on top of the keyboard of the laptop, "Still if we are bitten it will still pass through us normally, but how?"

"Maybe another animal passed the bite to the wolf?"

"Impossible! That's unheard of, not one documented story of a wolf going rabid because some squirrel bit it" Derek rubbed his hand over his face gesturing to nothing but thin air.

"Well shit Derek this is more confusing than my algebra homework, and algebra is hard you know?" Stiles threw his pen at Derek's face, the wolf swiftly caught it than threw it to the carpet ground, the teenager just scoffed unamused by the reaction, so Stiles threw his pencil this time when Derek wasn't looking but the wolf still caught it than threw it to the ground like he did with the pen. Soon, it just turned into a game of What can I throw at the big bad grumpy alpha before he gets pissed off?

Stiles gave up when all he had left was a old toilet paper roll, he even threw his math books and homework at Derek but he didn't budge not even batting an eye at the teen.

"Stiles you throw one more thing I will throw it back next time" there was humor in his voice, just a pinch of it, like he was enjoying Stiles antics.

"Yeah sure" Stiles got up from his spot on the ground to look out the window, the sun was finally bright enough to see the street and the cars parked in driveways, a sheriff can drove up his drive way and Stiles panicked slightly. "Okay, my dad is home so time for you to go"

Derek groaned reluctantly getting up and followed Stiles out of his room, half way down the stairs he heard the car door shut, Stiles rushed to the back door cursing that it was locked from the outside, the front door opened and the teenage boy pushed Derek down behind the island of the kitchen, Derek growled lowly but kept quiet, hidden from Stiles fathers sight.
