Derek was standing on Stiles' front porch. He normally would just show up in Stiles' room, but his window was locked.
The sheriff opened the door before Derek could knock, dressed for work, "Oh hello, Derek, Stiles is in his room."
Derek swallowed before slipping inside.
He made his way up the stairs and towards Stiles' room. He'd spent the past three hours trying to get a hold of Stiles. The pack had handled the pixie and when they learned of Derek's side effects, they opted to stay clear of the alpha for a while. Finally, Isaac had agreed to come around and check on Derek. The alpha had been thrilled to learn he could no longer hear thoughts. The dizziness had passed, and it seemed like everything was back to normal. Except for the part where Stiles had feelings for him.
Derek had debated on whether he should just let the situations fizzle out or if he should talk to Stiles. He decided that he needed to talk to the human.
Derek tapped gently on Stiles' bedroom door.
"You remember something else you wanted to lecture me about?" Stiles huffed opening the door.
Stiles paused, his eyes darting past the alpha, "I thought you were my dad."
"He let me in," Derek was suddenly nervous.
"Feeling better I assume," Stiles made no move to let Derek into his room.
"Yes," Derek nodded. He could hear Stiles' heart thudding heavily. "I wanted to talk about earlier."
"I don't," Stiles shook his head.
"I-"
"Please," Stiles cut in then. He looked pale and the stress clouded his eyes like a fog.
"I don't want you to avoid me, Stiles," Derek's tone was gruffer than he intended.
"You weren't ever supposed to know," Stiles swallowed.
"I thought you got over me," Derek's tone was almost sad.
Stiles scoffed, "Trust me, I tried. Wait, you knew?" Stiles frowned up at Derek.
"I could smell your attraction to me early on," Derek nodded shamefully.
"Of course, you could," Stiles nodded, looking mortified.
"But I thought you got over it long ago," Derek watched Stiles' face carefully. He listened to Stiles heartbeat just the same.
"No," Stiles dropped his head as if he were ashamed to admit it.
"Can I come in?" Derek asked, his tone gentle.
Stiles sighed, but moved aside, allowing Derek in.
Derek sat on the edge of Stiles bed and gestured for Stiles to sit next to him.
"I don't want anything to change between us," Stiles spoke in a pleading tone as he sat next to the alpha.
"You want me to pretend like I don't know?" Derek frowned.
"You did before," Stiles bit down on his bottom lip, his eyes glued to his hands in his lap.
"I thought it was a small crush and it didn't last long. I didn't realize you still..." Derek trailed off.
"It was just a small crush, but then it became more. I mean...how could it not?" Stiles gestured to Derek, "You're gorgeous, your loyal, protective, caring. The more I tried to find reasons not to like you, the more reasons I found to love you," Stiles spoke quietly, like he was telling a secret not his to tell.
Derek snapped his head towards Stiles, "Love?"
Stiles' eyes met Derek's then, "Yeah, my feelings aren't just a small crush anymore, Derek. That was five years ago."
Derek's chest constricted.
"Still don't want me to avoid you?" Stiles snorted, his eyes dropping back to his lap.
"You said you didn't want anything to change between us," Derek watched as Stiles looked up at Derek with hopeful eyes.
"You'll really pretend like this never happened?" Stiles asked eagerly.
"I can't do that, no matter how much you want me to. But knowing how you really feel..." Derek trailed off.
Stiles' face dropped.
"I don't want to hurt you, Stiles," Derek lifted Stiles' chin so their eyes met once again.
Stiles didn't say anything, but his heart was pounding, and his scent was strong with regret.
"I'm afraid I will," Derek ran his thumb along Stiles' jaw gently.
"I don't understand," Stiles frowned, his eyes never leaving Derek's.
Instead on responding, Derek leaned forward. His lips caught Stiles' in a tender kiss. Neither moved to deepen it or to end it.
Finally, Derek pulled back just enough to speak.
"I love you, Stiles, but if you truly don't want anything to change between us...I can't pretend I don't know you love me too, but I can not act on those feelings." Derek spoke quietly, just barely above a whisper. His breath ghosted over Stiles' lips as he spoke.
Stiles pulled back further so he could look at Derek's face, "You love me?"
"Of course, how could I not?" Derek smiled warmly. It melted Stiles' heart to see that smile. It wasn't one Derek wore often.
Stiles frowned, "You never said anything."
"By the time I realized how important you were to me, you were over me, or so I'd thought," Derek answered with a smirk.
"So things are gonna change between us?" Stiles asked almost hopefully.
"I'm not good a relationships, but I'm willing to try," Derek brushed his thumb along Stiles' cheek.
"Then we can try together." Stiles smiled before pressing his forehead to Derek's.
"Thank god for pixie dust, huh?" Derek smirked.
"I could have done without the mortifying revelation," Stiles laughed lightly.
"I thought it was cute," Derek leaned in then, closing the gap between them.
