The Great Wall of Derek hale

TGWOD chapter 2

Stiles came with the bag of mountain ash and proceeded to lay a large circle around the bed. He took off his shoes, socks and chinos and then got in the bed with Derek dressed only in his t shirt and Batman boxers. He scooted over to Derek and held him in his arms.

"Derek, I know you and I know that you'll leave after this. God knows, I don't blame you and so this is the last chance I'll ever get to tell you this. The fact that you can't stop me is a bonus".

Derek could feel Stiles trembling but after Stiles took a calming breath he continued

"I love you. I know you don't feel the same, God I don't even know if you even think we're friends, but I wanted you to know. It's not because you're the hottest looking person I've ever seen, which you are by the way, but what's inside you. You've sacrificed for your pack all the time, you've always put them first. You treated Scott, who's been a dick to you since the beginning, like a brother and forgave him when he used you for his own ends with Gerard. You gave Isaac the power to protect himself against his dad and when his dad was dead you gave him a home, cured Erica's epilepsy and gave Boyd somewhere to belong. You told them the risks before biting them unlike Peter with Scott and you've looked after them.

"Now, I know that's a touchy subject because of the Alpha pack and what happened to Erica and Boyd, but you're good. You forgave your creepy Uncle when he came back from the dead and you're willing to die in order to save us all when fighting Ennis. Look what you've done now, you've given up everything for Cora. You're the bravest person I've ever met, the things that you've faced: even the strongest would've crawled into the smallest hole and never have come out. You've stood up to them all. I know you've this Great Wall of Derek going on which stops us seeing through to the real you but I can see it, I've learned to look over the Wall and I know you are a good person that has had really shitty things happen to you. Every day you amaze me".

Stiles stopped speaking for a while and continued to hold Derek firmly in his arms.

"I want you to trust me on this, know that whatever you may think, you're loved, that someone cares for you and that in my arms you're safe and home. I know Wolves mate for life and that you love only your mate until your mate dies. Once mated, it is a physical impossibility for you to react to another person. You become E.D.-central. I can see why you don't think much of human love. That's speciesist, Derek. Just because Wolves are like that, doesn't mean that Humans can't be like that too. My Dad still wears his wedding ring and has never looked at another woman".

Stiles faltered for a second and when he continued his words were thick with emotion

"He loves my Mom as much today as he did when she was alive, that is more than you wolves can say. My Dziadzia has never looked at anyone since my Babunia died and that was over forty years ago. So I can say with certainty that us Stilinskis once we love, love forever and so I'll always love you."

"Now, I've said what I needed to say, go to sleep now in the arms of someone who loves you. I'll stay awake and watch over you. Do you need anything? the Bathroom? Blink once for yes and twice for no".

Derek blinked twice and Stiles, after breathing a sigh of relief, pulled Derek even closer to him, tucked Derek's face into the crease of his neck and while one hand petted Derek's hair the other made lazy circles over Derek's back. In minutes Derek was asleep.

In the morning, Derek woke up warm and comfortable. When he came to his senses, he realised he was lying on Stiles's shoulder and was in his arms. Stiles look down and said,

"Morning, Derek, how're you feeling?"

Derek couldn't still move or speak.

"Do you need the Bathroom? One blink for yes blah, blah."

Derek realised that he needed to piss and so he blinked once. Stiles, gulped and said

"I suppose you can't get to the bathroom and I can't carry you. Good job I made a trip back to the hospital for some supplies."

He dug in the bag he had left at the side of the bed and held up in triumph a bed pan and urinal.

"Let's hope it is just the urinal you need".

Derek blinked once as forcefully as he could.

"Thank God. I know this's going to be awkward, especially after my confession but we've got to do this."

So Stiles pulls Derek onto his back and then after having plumped up the pillows again, pulled Derek into a sitting position. He went into the bathroom to get a towel and a wet cloth and then having laid the towel underneath Derek pulled down Derek's briefs and then with two fingers placed Derek's dick in the head of the urinal while looking away.

"Whenever you're ready."

At first, because of the strangeness of the situation Derek couldn't do anything but in the end his need was greater and his bladder opened. Once he had finished, Stiles took the urinal away and closed the lid. He then got the wet cloth and washed Derek's genitals, dried them and pulled back up his briefs.

"We've never to mention this to anyone, but just know I don't mind helping you and it'll be easier from now on".

Stiles took the towel, cloth and urinal into the bathroom and Derek could hear the water running as Stiles washed out the bottle and cloth. Stiles came back with a bowl, a different cloth and towel and washed Derek's face, neck, hands, armpits and arms and then dried him.

Stiles went into the kitchen and came back with some oatmeal and fishing in his bag pulled out some Gaterade. He then fed Derek and washed it down with Gaterade. Once all the food was eaten and the drink gone Stiles asked Derek if he needed any more food which Derek blinked no. Stiles smiled at Derek, and continued

"Okay, I'll just brush your teeth."

He pulled out a new toothbrush from his bag and some toothpaste and then a bottle of water. He put the paste on the brush and then lifting Derek's lips out of the way, brushed his teeth. He then put the bottle of water to Derek's mouth so Derek could swill and then holding the bowl below Derek's mouth let Derek spit. Smiling at Derek with pride at a job well done, Stiles added

"Okay, if you give me a few moments, I'll just do the 'three S's': Shit, Shower and Shave".

After taking all the things he had used on Derek to the kitchen, he then rummaged in his bag for a towel, shower gel, his own toothbrush and a new pair of boxers and t shirt Derek watched Stiles go to his bathroom.

When Stiles emerged from the bathroom in a cloud of steam dressed in new boxers and t shirt, Stiles came straight over to the bed. He pulled Derek back down into a lying position. He pulled out a book from his bag, climbed into the other side of the bed and having scooted over to Derek, got himself comfortable and then pulled Derek back onto his shoulder.

"You're still exhausted, Derek, I've spoken to the guys, they're all okay. Deucalion has gone and the twins are no longer alphas. They're still looking for Darach but we're all okay. So you should rest. I'll watch over you and just read".

Holding the book with one hand and stroking lazy circles into Derek's back with the other, he began to read out loud from The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Derek was listening but again sleep overtook him.
