‘Oh my God’ moaned Stiles. ‘I love this so much’

Due to the night before’s events, Stiles was having dinner round Derek’s again.

Talia had made her trademark lamb stew which was utterly delicious, hence Stiles’ noises of pleasure.

Derek usually loved the stew but Stiles’ moans were distracting him and Derek was terrified that Stiles would smell his arousal.

They hadn't missed school because luckily, or rather unluckily, it was a Saturday.

‘So Stiles we've been thinking’ said Derek’s dad. ‘Would you like to stay with us?’

‘What? ‘ Stiles’ jaw fell open. ‘I don't want to disturb you… ‘

‘Stiles- you're underage and should be staying with an adult due to the law. You really should have been put into foster care seeing as you have no living relatives available but I offered to take you in and as the Sheriff I am trusted’ continued Mr Hale.

‘Are you sure?’ Stiles bit his lip. ‘Thank you- we only met like yesterday. I've been told I can be quite annoying…’

Derek decided this was either very good or very bad. Stiles would be safe and not vulnerable to the elements and his uncle but it meant that Derek wouldn't be able to escape his perfection. And keep his resolution.

‘Of course. Derek likes you and we can always trust Derek's opinions’

‘Thank you’ beamed Stiles, pepsi eyes gleaming.


On Monday morning, Derek got a lift from Stiles again who was, once again, rocking a leather jacket and super skinny pants.

This morning Stiles had reenacted the Titanic when ‘My heart will go on’ had played on his radio.

‘Dude’ Derek had said, secretly enjoying every moment.

‘Dude’ sing-songed Stiles.

Derek had glared, knowing Stiles would know there was no heat behind it.

Stiles’ face went blank once they pulled through the school gates.

‘What's wrong? ‘ demanded Derek, panicked.

‘The Argent family has called reinforcements’ muttered Stiles, frozen. ‘We're so screwed’

Derek followed his gaze across the car park to where Scott and Allison were getting out of a sleek SUV with an attractive older woman at the wheel.

‘Who's that? ‘ questioned Derek.

‘Allison's aunt. Kate’ Stiles voice was twisted and sour as he spoke, tone of voice mimicked by his scent.

‘You know her? ‘ guessed Derek. The stench of salt filled the jeep.

‘I-’ stuttered Stiles with unshed tears. ‘She-’

Derek had a pretty good idea of when Stiles had last seen Kate Argent. ‘It's okay you don't have to tell me’

‘I want to’ said Stiles, blinking back tears. ‘She was the one who-who burned my house down.’

The ‘and killed my family’ went unsaid. Derek put a reassuring hand on Stiles’ trembling shoulder.

. He didn't say it's okay because it wasn't.

‘She got in a relationship with my older brother- T-Taff’ Stiles choked on his name. ‘But he figured her out before he told her what she needed.’

Stiles paused and Derek watched his pale face, waiting for him to go on.

‘She took me.’ Stiles said after a deep breath. ‘That's why I survived, she tor-tortured me until I gave her the information then skipped out the door and murdered my entire pack. Only my uncle and my sister survived. Now look at them.’

Stiles wiped tears away from his eyes: the dead body Derek had found the night he was bitten had been Stiles’ sister. Killed by his uncle. Shock bit into Derek.

How had Stiles kept joking around since and put on a brave face?

Tap tap

There was someone at the window. Derek and Stiles spun around.

‘Hi sweetie. Haven't seen you in a while.’ purred Kate Argent, her niece and Derek’s best friend at her side.
