Derek Hale Imagines

Scott's sister

You smiled at the little gift Derek had sent, it was a picture of the two of you, a few Hale siblings and cousins were squished in as well, you could never remember all their names. It was just like Derek to add to your hoard of photos, in fact you wondered if he sent you the pictures so they'd survive, he was forever bending or accidentally washing photos and bits of paper so it wouldn't surprise you.

When you pulled up in the drive your front door swung open and your brother launched himself down the porch so he could yank open the door.

"I've missed you so much!" Scott sighed and you chuckled as you ruffled his hair.

"You saw me at gradation." You chuckled and he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah and then we've had to wait for months so you could finish up there and come back home." You groaned as he yanked you out of the car and into the house.

"(Y/N), there's my baby girl!" Melissa cooed and you let her hug onto you tightly.

"Stilinski, still a plaid wearing dork?" You teased and hugged the boy.

"I have a leather jacket somewhere." He joked and rubbed the back of his head as you both laughed.

Your laughter stopped when your eyes met the man in the hall doorway. Rafe gave an awkward wave and you turned to glare at your mother who swallowed nervously.

"Why is he back here?" You hissed and she tutted as she tried to think of what to say.

"I'm here to fix, this." Rafe gestured towards you and Scott and you shook your head.

"Well maybe you should have thought it over before you were so crappy, we've been happy without you." You snapped and glared at him.

"I know it'll take time to work..." he started and you shook your head.

"Do you know how hard Mom worked to support us both, Talia friking Hale put up the money we couldn't raise to get me through College and The Stilinskis' stepped up when you walked out, there is no amount of time that can fix this." You yelled and everyone started shuffling or avoiding looking at each other.

"Sweetheart, why don't you go for a walk and I'll sort... something." Melissa muttered and you nodded, glancing back when she stopped Scott and Stiles from following you.

"Wow Hale, you've either started working as a scrappie or you've lost all your money gambling." You hummed as you finally tracked him down.

"Remember when we were little and we'd hide here, scare the crap out of Laura." He chuckled and you nodded.

"Yeah, you really need a new place." You laughed as he nodded and accepted a beer that you handed him.

"Got my eye on a place, just got to get the utilities hooked up." He mumbled and frowned as you lent against the bus wall next to him. "Why're you here with me, shouldn't you be with Scott and Melissa?"

"Mom told me to take a walk... yelled at Dad." You spat the word and he nodded.

"I don't have a phone so I couldn't exactly tell you, but he's been here a few days." Derek smiled when you lent against him.

"I should probably get take out for everyone to make up for ruining the evening." You sighed after a while.

"Didn't you ruin Scott's first day at pre-school?" Derek chuckled and you punched his shoulder.

"I was little and out of control." You complained.

"And jealous of his backpack because it had sparkles." Derek mumbled and caught you with ease when you tried to play fight with him. "Come on, I'll get the take out and stay if you like, got to have back up."

"Thanks." You muttered as he grabbed his jacket and guided you out to the street.

"Mom I'm home, brought Derek and food." You called and two pairs of footsteps thundered around upstairs and a ravenous Scott grabbed at the bags, dumping them in the kitchen as he and Stiles started dishing out.

"Save some for John." Melissa called as she headed into the room and greeted you both. "He's still here and I know maybe with you he can't fix things but for Scott and me just, ignore him."

"I'll try my best." You agreed and she smiled, beckoning the two of your through as she swatted the boys and told them to wait for everyone.

You could tell Rafe wanted to say something about Derek eating with you, in fact you were sure Melissa had kicked him every time he tried. Eventually Derek had helped clean and load the dishwasher, slowly walking to the porch, where he stopped to say goodbye.

"Derek leaving so soon, thought you might want to stay and update (Y/N) on Beacon Hills." Rafe muttered and Derek glowered at him.

"I've kept her updated." He said lowly and Rafe nodded.

"There's been a lot of murder cases since she left, one of them involved you, didn't it?" He asked and Derek rolled his eyes, letting out a deep sigh.

Before he could answer you attacked Derek with a hug, surprising him, but he caught you and hugged back. His arms wrapped around you so tightly that he'd actually lifted you off the ground.

"Get a phone and text me when you're free." You mumbled as he finally put you down and let you go.

Bring Derek home to dinner was a big mistake. Rafe started by pointing out that no one should be associating with a man who had been suspected for murder, this was met with objections by all three McCall's and Stiles.

However, after two weeks of fussing you finally couldn't take it, explaining to Melissa that you wanted to stay in Beacon Hills and be close to her and Scott you couldn't do it with Rafe around so you were going to see if Derek had a spare room in his new loft.

"Were you just sat there waiting for me... you look creepy." You muttered when you slid open the door to find Derek lent with his hands on his knees, staring at the door.

"No I heard your car from the kitchen so I waited." He explained and you shrugged.

"I need a favour." You mumbled and Derek arched an eyebrow.

"Oh really?" He smiled until he glanced up at you and saw how upset you were.

"Can I stay here Derek, I wanted to be able to... but I can't not when he's there it's just like, he's pretending he never left and I can't do that I can't cope with him acting like that." You mumbled and Derek stayed quiet, watching you rattle on.

When you finally finished, angry tears were trickling down your cheeks and he slowly reached out a hand to yours, pulling you to sit on his lap so he could cradle you to his chest.

"You can always stay with me (Y/N)." He muttered and you slowly looked up, smiling when he wiped the tears away.

"Are you sure?" You mumbled and he nodded with a gentle smile playing over his face.

"Yeah, of course anything you need." He gently smudged away the damp spots on your cheeks and lent forwards, kissing your forehead. "Do anything for you (Y/N)." He whispered so quietly that you were sure he hadn't meant for you to hear it.

"Thank you." you sighed and he pushed your chin up with his thumb, leaning down to kiss you gently.
