Deception

Derek

Derek scowled, he was standing outside Stiles help. Stiles who had not answered any of the packs text since yesterday. They'd been meant to be meeting at Deatons in the middle of the day.

But Stiles hadn't been there and wasn't replying to any of them. He had a feeling they were being ignored on purpose so he was here.

Derek had to admit one of the reasons he was doing it like this was because it was familiar, showing up like this, through the window.

He climbed up easily, even after three years everything was just as familiar and it just felt right.

Derek peered through the window which was luckily open.

Stiles was lying on his bed, eyes closed but by the pound of his heart and breathing Derek knew he wasn't asleep. 

"Stiles" He said, jumping from the ledge into his room.

He had expected some surprise but instead all he got was Stiles opening his eyes and-

"For the last time, why for gods sake can't you use the door?" Stiles grumbled.

He slowly sat up, taking his time.

"I mean would it kill you to just knock?"

Derek didn't know what he'd been expecting but it hadn't been this. Stiles didn't look angry with him but he sure did not looking welcoming.

Derek hesitantly walked closer to him but he shook himself a bit. Why was he so wary of Stiles? But he just couldn't seem to help it.

"You missed our meeting" Derek said, growling. 

"So I did, strange that" Stiles said, sarcasm leaking from his voice.

"It's funny really, it's not like I haven't been here for six years and wanted to spend time with my dad or anything like that, would it?"

Derek growled angrily "This isn't funny"

"I wasn't trying to be funny" Stiles sneered. His eyes flashed golden just then before going back to their normal as if it was a warning.

"You'll come tomorrow then" Derek demanded, choosing to ignore what he had said.

"I might" Stiles finally getting of his bed, standing up. He was dressed in more normal human clothes. A hoodie and some jeans.

But he still looked different, they didn't stop the supernatural electrifying feeling coming from him. And those eyes tinged golden. Something about him just screamed unnatural.

Derek could no longer pretend that this was the same Stiles from three years ago or six.

What angered Derek more though was the complete lack of respect Stiles was showing. He was still alpha and this was still his territory, whether Stiles was in his pack or not did not matter in those regards.

Stiles wasn't even properly paying attention to him. His expression was of boredom, he was slouching and his hands in his pocket.

"You might? You mean you are going to! This is important" Derek snarled, his body practically vibrating with fury.

"I meant what I said" Stiles said, his voice still board.

Well Derek thought, there was only way he knew how to make Stiles realise he was serious...

Despite his instincts telling him against it Derek came closer, he reached out grabbing Stiles wrist, squeezing tightly and pulling him slightly forward.

"This is serious! We-we..." Suddenly the words seemed caught in his throat and he just couldn't spit them out.

Stiles eyes narrowed then he rolled his eyes as he said not trying to pull away, though not flinching or giving any sign that Derek's grip hurt.

"Is it that hard for you to say you and your pack need me?" Stiles leaned forward as he said coldly "How pathetic, wolf"

Derek felt something snap inside him. Before he knew what he was doing he had Stiles up against the wall. Eyes glaring red.

"My name is Derek! And we don't need you, you just have some information that could help us"

Stiles gave a bitter laugh as he replied "Well I'm glad you're finally being honest but-"

Suddenly their positions switched and Derek grunted as his back was slammed into the wall, hard.

"-I think you probably do. Those shadow beings don't go down easy, well not for werewolves any way"

The werewolf looked at him shocked "How did you-"

Stiles shrugged as he said "I sensed their presence as soon as I got here"

Derek tried to push Stiles away but he didn't budge at all. Stiles looked positively delighted by this.

"Now, now I think this has happened before. Not quite like this though..."

Derek felt like he was suffering the biggest humiliation. How could he be an alpha if he couldn't even do this?

Derek's eyes flashed angrily and he snarled baring his teeth "Get of me!"

The sorcerer smiled but there was no warmth as he repeated mockingly "What was it you said? Oh yeah...do it yourself!"

"That isn't fair and you know it! I was trying to teach you something! You could have gotten yourself hurt, I was trying to protect you"

"And what a good job you did!"

The werewolf and sorcerer glared at each other.

Derek could feel the new strength in Stiles arms. Then something shot through him as he realised he hadn't saw Stiles strength ruin glow. They'd researched the basics of ruins before they left for Stiles.

Stiles was wearing a t-shirt and his strength ruin was easy to see, it was thick and it had not glowed before Stiles had pushed him in here.

But that didn't make sense!

Without their ruins Sorcerous and elites should have the strength of the average healthy human.

"Boyd...mentioned something to me and I guess I am only seeing what he meant"

Derek looked at Stiles intensely as he said "He told me that despite being an elite there is no way you should be this powerful. So? What's that about?!"

Stiles let go of Derek suddenly but his smile was easy and something glinting in his eyes.

Derek collapsed to the ground, massaging his wrists where Stiles vive like grip had been.

Stiles crouched down next to Derek.  He smiled broadly but more of a smirk than a smile.

"I guess that's for me to know and you to...dot, dot, dot"

Laughing to himself but it was more of a dark laugh as Stiles took Derek's wrist and said "I'll see you at Deatons tomorrow Derek"

Derek's eyes widened and before he could react Stiles eyes flashed gold then once again everything went black.

I'll reply to comments on my last chapter later on, going to a meeting x Hope you have a great day! Also hope you enjoy and let me know what you think xx
