Caged Up (Sterek)

Chapter 3

Derek

“Fine” I called back to stiles who sounded really worried, I chuckled a little and winced as I peeled off my ripped Grey flannel T-shirt, I undid my belt buckle and unbuttoned my jeans I dropped both my pants and my boxers to the floor I stepped out of them and I got into the shower yanking the curtain shut, The warm water ran down my back, I tensed up a little, eventually I let myself relax, I licked my lips and ran my hands through my hair, I let my thoughts overrun me.

Stiles

I was tossing and turning for almost a half an hour until I heard the bathroom door open and shut followed by some rummaging, I heard something smash, I sat up quickly and looked  over at the Derek dripping with water, he was on his ass wrapped up in a towel I tried not to laugh “hey Dumbass wooden floor and water? They don’t go together” Derek replied with a glare staring daggers through me “aren’t you supposed to be in school?” he got up and avoided eye contact, I looked at him, my bottom lip going between my teeth, I kept it there until I tasted blood “Scott practically ordered me to watch over you”

I got up and sighed I walked to my doorway and as I was walking down the hallway Could you guess what I did? I slipped, “ow” I groaned I quickly scrambled to my feet “hey dumbass, wooden floors and water? They don’t go together” Derek mimicked me from earlier “oh haha” I said in a childish mocking tone, Derek was silent for a second before he was right in front of me pushing me up against the wall “what the hell are y-“ he cut me off by slapping his hand over my mouth, his eyes flashed blue and his fangs flashed, I tensed up knowing there was someone else here I was quiet now and I licked the palm of his hand “stiles” he growled lowly I rolled my eyes “there’s nobody here” I said quickly, I walked downstairs but only halfway when a huge black creature bigger than Derek bigger than myself with red glowing eyes was now in front of me “o-oh my g-god D-Derek” I said my voice shaky I was terrified, I was in shock, I was frozen, Derek growled and jumped down in front of me with his claws out he swung his open hand at the creature but it grabbed Derek and threw him, Derek hit the wall knocking down a bunch of picture frames causing them to smash on the ground “oh god, Derek!” I said in panic, I looked around, I got up and ran to the kitchen, I grabbed my bat off the countertop, my baby if I may say, this bat has helped me through a lot.

I ran in and it had Derek in the air, I hit it as hard as I could only causing a vibration to go through my wrist and my arm I felt my eyes widen “holy shit” the thing dropped Derek and turned around to me, it got down and..it..smelled me? What the actual fuck..

Before Derek could get up it grabbed me and threw me through the living room window, I heard the glass shatter and I felt pain all through-out my body, it was aches, stings, even burning, the creature dove out the window and he was gone, I turned my head watching it run back into the woods, I couldn’t hear a thing, Only what sounded like ringing, I was about to black out when Derek grabbed my chin and turned my head and he looked down at me worry was written all over his face, he even looked as if he was gonna.. cry?

Derek

He slipped out of consciousness fast, I quickly scooped him up and ran to my black sports car I opened the door and set him down softly in the passengers seat, I shut the door and ran around to the drivers seat I quickly got in and started up the car, I sped off to the hospital

*****************

Still Derek

I watched as Scott’s mom and a few other doctors pulled Stiles out of my arms as soon as they set him down on the gurney he woke up screaming, like he was in agonizing pain.. because of me. Because I couldn’t protect him, I carded a hand through my hair and sat down in the waiting room texting Scott telling him the whole story

Stiles

I woke up to the sound of beeping, sounds of people talking but none of them being familiar voices I opened my eyes and a doctor looked down at me putting his stethoscope back around his shoulders resting on the back of his neck, I felt weak and I felt like throwing up but no idea why, I blinked slowly “hey can you hear me?” he asked flashing a light in my eyes I flinched away, my head was pounding “buddy that didn’t help” I swatted at him he chuckled abruptly, someone knocked “you’ve been out for sixteen hours, Stiles, your dad and your boyfriend I think are here? Your boyfriend has been here for all sixteen hours” he smiled I was too tired to say anything about the whole ‘boyfriend’ thing

Someone walked in and Derek looked at me with a soft smile, but it was a rare sight, I tried to smile back but I felt like I didn’t exactly smile. I tried to sit up as the doctor walked out but I winced as I pushed myself up and sat back. Derek sat down beside the bed and handed me a bag “what’s this.?” I said taking the bag “they’re cinnamon rolls..and uh these are curly fries and a cheeseburger” he held up another bag “oh my god you’re a life saver” I snatched the bag and dug in “wait are you sure I’m aloud?” I looked up at him his eyes were everywhere but on me “who cares Stiles, just eat” he got up and sat down beside my bed, he rubbed his temples “did we figure out what that thing was?” I looked at him he shook his head and let out a large breath, I was devouring my food

“Stiles, can I ask you something?” he said in a soft tone, softer than usual, which is unexpected, he pursed his lips and then they were back into a straight line leaving his expression unreadable “sure” I said and looked around for a drink, Derek picked up a cup off the floor “this is your soda, too” he said and moved his chair closer to my bedside, I took it and sipped it, it wasn’t long before I finished my curly fries “do you want my cheeseburger?” I held the small sandwich out, he raised an eyebrow “No”

“M’kay what’s the question?” I wiped my mouth with the napkin and looked at the ceiling “well, uh when I was about to be torn to shreds why didn’t you let it happen?” he asked playing with the hem of his shirt.

Derek

I looked at Stiles who was staring off ignoring my question, he was tapping his fingers on the remote to the television.

“Stiles” I raised my eyebrows I reached for his hand and placed mine on top of his stopping him from tapping his fingers, the door opened and Scott and Mr. Stilinski came walking in I moved my hand quickly and tore my eyes away from Stiles’ big brown eyes. I got up and left.
