The Story Of Tonight (Sterek)

4

Derek was walking home, replaying Stiles words in his head.

'Why do you feel worthless? How could you? You're amazing!' Derek thinks. He has to tell Stiles how be feels. He runs to the Stilinski house, jumping up on the roof with cat-like grace, making no noise. He walks to the window in time to see Stiles holding a razor.

'What is he doing?' Derek thinks.

He then sees Stiles pull up his sleeve and finally realizes why he smelled blood back there. He waits to see what Stiles will do.

'Maybe he won't do it? Maybe he'll quit?' Derek thinks hopefully.

He looks back at Stiles and studies him. That's when he realizes that Stiles is crying.

'Why are you crying?' He wants to ask, but knows if he speaks, everything will be ruined.

He sees Stiles cut his arm once.

'He shouldn't have to do this to himself' Derek thinks.

He quietly opens the window, slips in, and close the window without being noticed. He's about to stop Stiles when he sees something else, something fresh, on Stiles' arm, right above his elbow. A simple five letter name. Derek stops midstep, holding his breath as he sees his name written on Stiles' arm.

'Why would he do that?' He thinks to himself, his heart breaking the more he sees Stiles' arm.

He watches as Stiles cleans his arm up, pull his sleeve back down and put his razor away. Derek is holding his breath, not knowing what to do. Finally, as Stiles looks like he's about to go to sleep, Derek pipes up.

"Stiles... What did you just do?"
