Love Letter To You

Letter 2

The next letter didn't appear until Stiles had to go out of town for a conferences meetings with the hospital's board of directors. When Derek got home after his shift, sitting on the kitchen counter in a bright yellow envelope was the letter.

My love and my life,

I hate having to leave you for more than a day, Truthfully, I hate leaving you period. Every year I'm forced to go to these week-long meetings, stuck in a boardroom full of people with sticks up their asses. This year I was able to drag Melissa with me, but I would rather be forced to stay here by myself if I was able to spend just an hour with you. Just to hear you talk about your day as you try to shove all of your food into your mouth at once. You eat like a dog ( Yes the pun was attended). Being able to hear you complain about how Lydia came in again to flirt with Parrish and how someone needs to knock some sense into them. Being able to feel you hook our ankles together, I love how you do that. Every meal and every time you lock our ankles. I remember the first time you did it, God your face went so red. Like you thought I was going to yell at you or shove you away. You started apologizing and moving your foot away, but I just smiled at you and slide my foot against yours, waiting. I would wait forever for you. Thank the lord one of us made a move, cause holy hell that would have sucked, But just so you know, I would have waited. I would wait till the end of time for you Derek. I love you to the moon and back.

Love, Stiles

If by the end of the letter Derek's cheeks were wet and his hands were shaking, no one was there to judge. The minute Stiles walked through the door the following week, Derek was there placing a gentle kiss on his lips and whispering thank you, as his cheeks and ears went rosy.
