The bet - Sterek, Scisaac, Thiam

The Gaze

*Stiles POV*

My body was freezing! I couldn't feel my fingers and toes because they were numb. Sighing, I snuggled up to the alpha wolf's chest. I could hear his heart beating - fast. Something inside of me snapped as I realised that he was scared. Why? I asked myself this question multiple times to try and come up with a solution but I found nothing. I was about to ask him but then another cold shiver crawled up my spine. 

Once we got upstairs, Derek, who was carrying me bridal style, started to look around for a room. It was then when I realised that we were in a house that I had never been before. I was about to ask but then Derek yelled to Theo, asking where the guest room was. I heard a reply, tell us that it was opposite the bathroom. Derek brought me through the door and placed me under the duvet cover. I fluttered my eyes.

"Stiles, try to stay warm," Derek whispered.

I simply nodded my head. I didn't want to talk, I was too freaking cold. I started to shiver - well, more than I was already.

"H-Hug," I stuttered.

To my surprise, Derek slipped into the bed I was lying in with no rebellion. He snuggled up beside me. The heat inside his werewolf body transferred to mine as I felt my muscles start to relax. He made me feel warm - inside and out. I dug my head into his chest as heat radiated off from it. My eyelids succumbed to gravity as I began to fall asleep.

*Isaac POV*

Cuts and bruises covered my body. Pain flew throughout my muscles and bones. I definitely knew that I had a broken arm and rib. I was extremely surprised that I was not screaming in pain. Scott was attending to my wounds and every time we touched, I felt some pain disappear.  I had no idea whether it was intentional or not, all I knew is that it made me feel loved. A smile crept across my face when he looked up at me.

"You okay?" Scott asked me. Worry and concern flooded within his eyes.  

"Yeah, I guess."

"Are you okay to sleep on the couch?"

"Sure but can't I just go home?"

"Well you could but Stiles and Liam are freezing cold and won't warm up. Derek and Theo are looking after them however I doubt they will keep up for long."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," I muttered under my breath. They were both in 'love' with their patient. I doubt they will grow tired of them.

"What was that?" Scott asked.

"Nothing!" I responded, my heart racing like a wolf.

"Isaac?"

"Am I gonna sleep on the couch then?"

"Don't you try and change the subject."

"My arm hurts," I responded, trying to get him to drop it.

He rolled his eyes before moving his hand into mine, taking away the pain that was still in my arm. I smiled an innocent smile. Our eyes met. My gaze was paralysed, unable to move even if I wanted them to. The beauty in his eyes shone like the moon in the night sky. Then, all of a sudden, his eyes glowed red, an indication that he lost control. In what? A question that I will never get an answer to. His cheeks turned a deep red as he realised what just happened. His gaze averted from mine, no doubt due to him being embarrassed at his sudden loss of control.

"Do I need a blanket then?" I asked, trying to take some of his embarrassment away.

He looked so confused.

"For the couch?" I asked.

"Well, we need a blanket due to it being a sofa bed."

We? This must be a dream! I mean, we have had sleepovers before, however we slept on separate parts of the floor because we would accidently fall asleep. I would die just to feel his breath on mine. I imagined all the possibilities that could happen. My heart started to race unintentionally. 

"Is everything okay?" Scott asked.

I slowly nodded my head. My heartrate increased.

"Okay, I know I am bi but it doesn't have to be weird or anything," He stated.

WHAT?! HE IS BI? How did I not know this? I felt my heartrate increased more and more. My breathing became unsteady. I couldn't be around him, not now. I ran upstairs, not knowing where I would go. Derek doesn't understand the word 'feelings' so I couldn't go to him. Theo though, he would understand. I took a last look at Scott who looked confused but hurt and my initial thought was that he was injured. I couldn't help him now, not like this.

Hi guys. Thanks a lot for being so patient. I am currently on crutches right now so thing have been a bit of a struggle and I haven't found the time to update. I am also going to start a Merthur (Merlin and Arthur from the show Merlin) fan fiction as well so if you are a fan, go check that out. I am going to try and be more frequent with my updates and I will hopefully have the next chapter out today but who knows. I really appreciate people who are reading this because I never really write for others to read. Be sure to comment on what you think and that kind of jazz. Thanks so much. Bye....
