What have i done...?

Mating Bite

“No mama I didn’t know that. How else can you create a mating bond?” Derek asks confused. He’s almost positive the only way to create a mating bond was by sex.

Cindy smiles, “Well, Derek dear, answer me this. What would you do to make Stiles happy?”

 Derek opens his mouth to answer, but Cindy holds up her hand signaling she’s not done yet. “How far would you go to protect him?”

Derek waits a minute to see if she’s done, when she doesn’t speak again he answers, “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make Stiles happy. I would go to the end of the world to protect him” As he finishes talking Stiles gets off of the bed, he moved sorely but not nearly as sore as he imagined he’d be, and Derek wraps his arms around him.

Stiles smiles as the arms encircle him, but the need to go to the bathroom makes him lean up and kiss Derek’s cheek, “Derek, I have to go to the bathroom.”

Cindy and Derek laugh and Derek lets go of Stiles. After Stiles left, Cindy turns back to Derek and smiles. “Derek, if Stiles feels the same then all you have to do is give him the mating bite. The reason most wolves mate during sex is because that’s when your feelings are heightened and it creates a stronger bond. But from what you said, your bond will be just as strong without the sex.”

Derek looks thoughtful for a moment before he smiles and sits down on the bed. “Damn Momma, he annoyed the crap out of me when we first met.  He was always stuttering, rambling and smelling aroused. Half the time I wanted to laugh at him and the other I wanted to shut him up. One night… I was shot and he took care of me, let me stay at his place for a while until I was completely better. By that point I had started to fall for him so I,” Derek blushes slightly and Stiles comes out of the bathroom but Derek doesn’t notice, “Well, I stayed longer than I needed to. I pretended like I was still hurt because I knew he wouldn’t kick me out unless I was completely healed. I did this just to be around him longer. When he went to sleep at night, I would watch him sleep until I couldn’t keep my eyes open.” Derek finishes smiling and Cindy grins.

“Derek I’m so happy for you.  You had it easy. Your father and I hated each other at first, then we got trapped in a room and got to know each other and we slowly fell in love.”

Stiles finally makes himself known, “Derek, tell her about how you asked me out.”

Derek blushes a deep red “I would rather not.” he grumbles.

Stiles laughs and says, “Fine, I will then.”

Cindy looks amusedly between the two boys at which Derek blushes more profoundly.

“You see, Momma Hale, Derek is quite the romantic. I got out of the shower one night, dressed for bed running a towel through my hair, and I heard this deep sexy voice say ‘please be mine. I couldn’t be more in love with you if I tried.’ I jumped and screamed. And this guy,” He points his thumb in Derek’s direction, “laughed at me and apologized for scaring me. I thought he was joking about loving me because he’s always a sour wolf but he walked over to me and said, ‘I’m not joking. I love you Stiles’ then he kissed me. I melted instantly into the kiss and he asked me again if I would be his and I said yes.” Stiles smiles at a completely embarrassed looking Derek.

Cindy laughs at her son’s expense, “You are about as romantic as your Uncle Peter. He used to be such a sweet heart.” Derek’s eyes turn red at the mention of Peter and Cindy notices. “Now Derek, don’t go being a sour wolf…” she winks at Stiles and Derek frowns, ”about your uncle it wasn’t his fault that fire did more damage to him than any of us. It killed us but it burned out his humanity left only the wolf behind.”

 Derek frowns but a mutters a sorry to his mother. Cindy turns to Stiles, a serious expression on her face.  “Now I must ask you, two questions and answer them honestly.” Stiles nodded and Mrs. Hale continued, “What would you do to make Derek happy? How far would you go to protect Derek?”

Stiles thought about the questions for a second before answering. “I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t do for Derek to make him happy. I would do everything in my power and then some to protect Derek. He’s my whole world.”

Mrs. Hale smiles a big beautiful smile at his answers. “Ok then Derek, you must talk with him about what I told you. I’m tired dear, so is my room fit for sleeping?”

“No mom, it’s not. You can sleep here, Stiles and I will take the couch, it pulls out.” Derek says. Cindy nods and the boys leave the room to let her rest.
