Catching Fireflies (An Interactive Teen Wolf Story)

Chapter 7

"Okay, we'll keep looking but we're going back to the cabin first. I need to let Stiles know what's going on and Scott and Jackson are obviously over this. Let's just get some lunch and we'll head back out, okay?"

The pack seemed to think that was a good enough plan and didn't argue with Derek as they headed back toward the cabin. The rest of the pack were all sat in the living room when they walked in.

"You're back already?" Stiles asked, tilting his head up as Derek leaned down to kiss him.

"We're getting lunch and going back out."

Stiles sighed, "You guys better be back no later than seven or I'm going to kill all of you."

"Promise." He said, sitting next to him, wrapping him in a hug. "Make me a sandwich?" He whispered.

"You're a pain." Stiles chuckled. "Lyds, wanna help me make lunch?"

The strawberry blonde groaned but got up, Stiles following her into the kitchen. They decided on making grilled cheese and tomato soup for everyone. Derek sat at the island watching, biting the inside of his cheek.

"Is everyone going?" Stiles asked, back turned toward the alpha.

"No, I don't think it's safe to have everyone go."

"Why don't we just go home if everyone's so worried?"

Derek sighed, "for all we know it could've just been an animal or someone passing through."

Cora snorted walking toward them, "I'm pretty sure it's not an animal."

"We all know what you think Cora, you've voiced your opinion far more than your fair share." Derek rolled his eyes.

Stiles threw a bunched up paper towel at him, "I'm not dealing with you two arguing so if that's what's going to happen you can both get the fuck out." He brought a plate over with a few sandwiches on it, setting it on the counter and glaring at Derek. The wolf just smirked and kissed his nose before grabbing a sandwich and biting into it.

"Love you." I muttered around his full mouth.

"You're gross." Stiles smiled.

Cora sighed, "Okay, seriously though, who's going?"

"I figured Stiles, Lydia, and Allison would stay. We'd need others to stay to protect them."

"Excuse me, I can handle my own." Allison butted in.

"Yes, you can. But I'm not leaving you alone to defend yourself and two others against something we know nothing about."

Allison's expression softened, "Okay that makes sense." She wrapped herself around Kira who was leaning against the counter.

"Well, who's staying?" Isaac asked.

Stiles shut off the stove dropping the last of the sandwiches onto the plate on the counter as Lydia finished the soup. He tapped Derek's leg making the wolf move his arm, Stiles climbing into his lap and taking a bite of Derek's grilled cheese.

"I'll stay." Jackson said. "This whole thing is stupid."

"I want at least two more to stay." Derek added.

The pack looked around at each other. "Can I stay?" Isaac asked.

Derek nodded eating the piece of grilled cheese Stiles offered him.

"I'll stay too." Scott said, his mouth full.

Stiles snorted, "Can't be away from Isaac can you?" He teased.

"You're literally sitting on Derek's lap and feeding him, I don't think you have room to talk." Scott laughed.

Stiles scrunched his eyebrows, "Leave me alone. I made you food."

Derek chuckled kissing Stiles' cheek. "We can head out when everyone's ready. If anyone else wants to stay they can."

Lydia joined Kira and Allison's huddle. Erica muttered something about fixing her hair and pulling Boyd off with her. Everyone else finished eating in silence.

"So...if you're not back by seven or any one of my pups is hurt I'll kill you. I'm gonna go play video games." Stiles said sliding off Derek's lap, kissing him before turning toward Scott, wiggling his eyebrows.

"You're on." Scott laughed, the two running off together.

"Let's get going then." Derek said getting up. He watched Kira kiss Lydia and Allison goodbye before grabbing her sword and walking outside. "Erica, Boyd, let's go!" He yelled. Erica shouted back and you could hear their footsteps as they walked downstairs. Cora hit her brother as she walked out, Aiden following right after her. Ethan pulled Jackson into a hug against his protest, the two kissing for a mere second before Ethan thumped him on the head and walked off muttering about him being a pain in the ass. Derek sighed pressing a kiss to the top of Stiles' head as he walked past him and Scott, Isaac running past him to sit in between Scott and Stiles.

"Be careful, bear."

"I will, I love you."

"I love you too."

Aye, long time no post. My apologizes. Question time.
