Come to me
In the night hours
I will wait for you

Derek gets out of bed when he here's repetitive knocks on his door. The whole pack was asleep when Derek retreated to his cozy bedroom to read.

Derek opens the door to find Stiles standing there, clutching a pillow to his chest with tear streaks on his face. Stiles sniffles before crashing into Derek. Derek wraps his arms around Stiles, picking him up off the ground and shutting his door before carrying him over to his bed.

"Another nightmare?" Derek asks quietly, setting Stiles down. Stiles simply nods, moving Derek's blanket to cover himself.

This has happened on more than one occasion and every time, Stiles came to Derek's room because he knew he would comfort him and let him sleep next to him.

"You can sleep in here, Sti. Do you want anything?" Derek asks. Stiles shakes his head, stuffing his pillow under his head.

"Just you keeping me company is enough," Stiles says quietly then yawns.

"Always," Derek says.

And I can't sleep
'Cause thoughts devour
Thoughts of you consume

Derek glances over at Stiles's sleeping face and smiles softly. Stiles's mouth is hanging open slightly and he looks so relaxed. Derek loves looking at Stiles even though he won't admit that to anyone. Well, maybe Stiles himself.

Sighing, he sets his book on the bedside table and turns off the lamp. He settles into bed, pulling the blanket up to his chest. Derek tries to sleep but with no luck, he can't seem to stop thinking of Stiles. Did he really mean it when he thought he loved looking at Stiles? Does that mean anything?

Stiles always managed to make him laugh even when he was in a bad mood. He knew just how to make him laugh and when Derek did, Stiles's face would light up and he would laugh too. Stiles remembered the little things Derek did, like or disliked and that was really something to Derek. No one else had took the time to do that.

Stay with me a little longer
I will wait for you
Shadows creep
And want grows stronger
Deeper than the truth

Stiles whimpers in his sleep, the bad dreams coming to him again, haunting in the dark every time he closes eyes. No matter how hard he tries to get rid of them, they never go away. Stiles slowly opens his eyes, the nightmare finally shaking him awake.

He looks around the room, his eyes briefly landing on Derek before looking at the clock. 5:45 a.m. Derek would be up soon. Stiles sighed, deciding to just move closer to Derek to see if he would sleep better.

Stiles scoots closer to him, already feeling the warmth radiating off of Derek's body. Stiles's arm accidentally brushes Derek's causing him to jump but Derek just mumbles something and pulls Stiles closer, fulling wrapping him in his warmth.

Stiles smiles, breathing in the other boy's comforting smell. Derek is like Stiles's safe haven

"Stay, if just for a little while longer," Stiles mumbles before his eyelids grow heavy and he falls back asleep.

I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to

Derek has finally come to the conclusion that he loves Stiles. He's tried to convince himself that it isn't true, it's just his mind making him believe that. But it never works because he's reminded he loves him everytime he sees him.

The first time he finally came to the conclusion was while he was cooking dinner. Stiles came into the kitchen while Derek was standing at the stove.

"Hey Der," Stiles said as he jumped up onto the counter. "So I was thinking, since you've been keeping your stash of books under your bed I thought I would get you a bookshelf."

Derek looked over at him with a surprised expression. "Are you serious?" he asked.

Stiles nodded happily, a grin on his face. "Yep, we can go pick it up tomorrow. I had a little engravement put on it," Stiles replies.

The engravement turned out to be the pack's symbol and to say Derek absolutely loved it was an understatement. He hugged Stiles so hard that Stiles had to tell him he couldn't breathe even though he was laughing.

I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you

"Stiles," Derek calls out. They were at the mall and Stiles just had to pick the busiest day.

"Over here!" Stiles shouted in reply, a hand shooting into the air. Derek walks over to him to see him looking at a new video game that came out. "Look! I know Lydia and Erica wanted Just Dance or whatever but can't we get this instead?"

"How about both?" Derek replies, picking up the game Stiles was holding.

"You're joking," Stiles replied. When Derek just stared at him, his eyes widen. "You're serious? Oh my God, I love you!"

Stiles tackles Derek into a hug, almost causing the two of them to fall over. They both start laughing, Derek steadying them both with a hand on Stiles's back.

"Honestly, Der what would I do without you?" Stiles asks as they leave the mall, Stiles carrying the bag of games. "I think I would die."

"You'd go crazy dealing with the pack by yourself," Derek says, unlocking the car. Stiles laughs before getting in.

I can't help but be wrong in the dark
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but want oceans to part
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts

"Stiles, I have to tell you something," Derek says one night after the rest of the pack headed to bed, or more likely the solitary of their rooms, besides the two of them.

Stiles looks up at him, a mouth full of chips. "Yeah?" he asks after he swallows.

"I, uh, I've come to realize something," Derek says, Stiles's silence encouraging him to go on. "I love you."

Stiles chokes on air, coughing repeatedly until he can catch his breath. Derek stands there awkwardly, expecting Stiles to reject him. Stiles holds up a finger, taking a deep breath before replying.

"You're completely serious? You're not messing with me or anything?" Stiles questions. Derek shakes his head.

Out of nowhere, Stiles jumps over the couch and onto Derek. Caught off guard, Derek catches Stiles but they both crash to the ground.

"I thought you would never say that!" Stiles exclaims, squeezing Derek tighter. "I love you too you sourwolf."

2) I think I'm gonna do spooky week for these one shots starting Monday 👀 do you guys think that's a good idea?
Let me know what you guys think in the comments! Also thank you so much for 1.91k reads!
