Derek stood on the edge of his Family's Resting Compound, "I'm sorry for not coming earlier, I didn't have the heart", he murmured as he placed a few flowers on his sisters' and parents graves, he placed singular roses on his brothers' and cousins' graves, "I was afraid to face you. Well no not so much as afraid as to admit I was ashamed to", he corrected and then stepped back, and "I've made a lot of mistakes and I've hurt a lot of people, I also created quite a fuss", he laughed a tad awkwardly, "I don't have an authority to stand before you to even ask for forgiv-yeoch!!!" Derek yelped mid-word and turned to face Stiles.
"What the hell?!!!"
Stiles shrugged as he tossed a pebble up and down, "I figured I'd stop you from griping at your folk's. We have to be on the road in an hour the least you could do, is get on with your goodbyes and meet us at the gate, but noooo", he pushed forward and stopped in front of a particular headstone;
Talia Hale
Beloved Mother, Wife, Sister and Friend
You Live Forever in our Memories
"Hi. My name's Stiles Stilinski. You don't have to worry about that brooding log over there", he pointed at Derek, much to the older man's utter shock, "He's my Alpha and I'll take care of him. Besides I'm the only one who can handle his Sourwolfy ass. He'll be safe with me", he turned and faced Derek, "We take care of each other, right? In all universes", and without further ado, he turned back around and bowed, "But now we gotta go. Jacks and I are First Years at The Reckless Academy and this great big Lug is our ride there", he offered a casual two finger salute and walked over to Derek, "Come on Big Guy, say your goodbyes, we'll come back in the spring and tell them our adventures", he promised.
Derek blinked, and then smiled, "Yup!" he grinned and turned to his whole family, "See you later", and then together with Stiles his saving grace, they left the compound.
Jackson watched them as they made their way over to the exit, briefly pausing at Mrs. Stilinski's grave, murmuring of a similar promise, he grinned, "You're back", and he laughed at the pout he received.
"You haven't confessed this secret".
"Nope. A bit difficult to tell people I can see dead people", he shrugged, crouching in front of a particular marker;
Laura Hale
Beloved Daughter, Niece and Kickass Sister
" Mo Alfa is fearr leat "
(1988 – 2014)
"What does that mean?" he asked pointing at the quoted words.
"My favorite Alpha", the answer was soft.
"You're coming with us then?" he asked the brunette leaning against the headstone, he reached out and traced the name.
Laura shivered a memory of touch.
