Derek’s P.O.V.
I opened my eyes and the first thought that came to my mind was, “I still have no idea who Peter was talking about.” Then I smelled the strong scent of bacon and eggs coming from the kitchen.
“Now that you’re awake, get in here and eat,” I heard Peter’s voice say. Peter doesn’t usually make breakfast unless there’s a reason so I immediately thought, “Oh great he killed someone again.” I walked in and saw him with an apron on finishing the eggs
“Bacon is on the table and I’m just putting the finishing touches the eggs,” he said
“Since when do you make breakfast,” I asked grabbing a plate and putting some bread in the toaster.
“What? I can’t make breakfast for my nephew,” He said amused.
“Look if you did something wrong, you might as well tell me now so that we can deal with it,” I reasoned after sipping my coffee.
“I didn’t do anything, I just wanted to…….um see if maybe you’d let me go out tonight.”
“Why are you asking my permission, just don’t kill anyone,” I responded confused
“I know that! It’s just that I’m going on a date tonight,” He said nervously.
“I really don’t care. Just don’t kill anyone,” I responded annoyed
“Great, but uhh… do me a favor and stay in the loft for today,” he said while he set some eggs on my plate.
“Why,” I asked curious.
“Who knows we might have company,” he answered smiling.
I just kept eating, but kept an eye on him. I knew that he knew more than he let on but I wasn’t in the mood to confront him on it.

After breakfast Peter left the loft. He claimed to be going out to buy some new clothes for his date, but I still wasn’t convinced. So I started cleaning around the loft and eventually decided to read a book. It wasn’t until it started raining that I remembered what peter had said. “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.” What did he mean by that? I set the book down on the end table and rubbed my eyes. Aghhhh, what does that mean? I don’t even know why I’m putting so much thought into this; it was just Peter trying to mess with my head. I leaned forward and started watching the rain when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I assumed it was Peter coming back to change, and was about to say something when I heard a voice behind me say, “Hey Der…… how’s it going?”
Stiles’s P.O.V.
I was helping Scott pick out what to wear for his date.
“Scott, I think you’re overthinking this. She’s not gonna care what you wear,” I told him lying on his bed
“I know but I want everything to be perfect, it’s our-“
“First date I know, you’ve only told me about a thousand times,” I said in annoyance.
“Sorry but I just don’t want to screw it up, so……. blue dress shirt or black gray hoodie,” He asked as he held two clothed hangers up.
“I’m a sucker for a hoodie. But since it’s a date, I’d go with the dress shirt,” I answered.
“Okay thanks…..So are you gonna go see Derek tonight,” He asked as he slid his arms through the sleeves and buttoned up the shirt.
“Ya I guess, should I bring my bat just in case, or is that too forward?”
He laughed,” Come on stiles. I told you before he doesn’t hate you.”
“So he just threatens to rip out the throats of the people he likes,” I countered
“That was almost two years ago. I’m sure that he’s warmed up to you by now,” He assured me “And besides, you two seem like you’d have a lot in common?”
“How do you figure that,” I asked almost shouting
“It’s just that,” He sighed ,”Look I know that you’ve been a little lonely ever since all this werewolf stuff started, and I’m sorry I haven’t been around as much I used to be. But Derek has only known dealing with werewolf stuff, maybe he needs a friend or someone to talk to as much as you do.”
I put my head down and thought about it for a second, “Yeah, you’re probably right.” I looked out the window and saw the dark storm clouds rolling in, “It looks like it’s going to rain. If I’m gonna go over there I should probably go now.”
“Okay, see you later man.” He said as I got off the bed. “Oh and remember, no kissing until the third date,” He joked
“Practice what you preach, you kissed her before the first date,” I countered as I walked through the door.
“Hey wait that’s-,” he kept talking but I quit while I was ahead and left.

I reached Derek’s loft after it started raining, or should I say started pouring. I ran inside quickly and went up the stairs soaking wet. “He probably won’t be able to smell me since all of the water is masking my scent,” I thought. I walked into the room and saw him sitting in a chair staring out the window at the rain. I didn’t even know what to say. “Hi Derek, Scott said we have a lot in common so I’m here to try and become friends with you, please don’t hurt me,” I thought.
But I just took a deep breath and settled for, “Hey Der, how’s it going?”
