The Bite: Derek Hale x reader (One Shots)

Beautiful things

My room seemed full of tears. That soon my room would just flood over and I'd drown in my own salty sorrows.
I needed a life raft at this point to ever stay afloat. And that's when I was thrown one.
The door opened and I saw derek stand on the opposite end of my bed. I jumped out and into his arms like he was gonna save me from my sadness.
"Shhhh. Kitten, it's okay." He cooed into my ear as he sat down with me in his lap.
"It's okay baby. You're okay."
I hitched my breath as I looked into his soft green eyes.
I tried to stop crying but it seemed like it just wanted to come out more.
He cupped my wet red cheeks and looked at me.
"Shhh. Just take some deep breaths. You are okay. Come on, follow my breathing."
I tried to match his with slowing myself down and concentrating on him.
Soon I was breathing normally and then tears were stopped.
Derek wiped away the last ones with his thumbs and set me down next to him.
"Now tell me what happened."
"My best friend doesn't want to be friends anymore. We were friends for four years. It just hurts so much because I trusted her and loved her and then she just got mad and didn't want me anymore."
"Well, that's on her. Yeah it may suck and yeah she may have been your friend for a while but you have to understand it's nothing you did wrong. She chose to leave."
"Well then why does it hurt so much?" I sniffle as I rest my head on his shoulder.
"Sometimes the most beautiful things are delicate. They are meant to be seen not touched. Any wrong movement can break it. Your guys' friendship was in fact one of the most beautiful things but she took a wrong movement and broke it. Sometimes you just have to let it be. Don't fix what isn't broken."
"Well if it was just a friendship then why is it just hurting me and not her?"
"Didn't I just say the most beautiful things are the most delicate? That's how you are. You're so kind and loving that when someone takes that for granted, you tend to break easily. Your emotions are hard to handle because they can change so easily. Does that make you a bad person? Hell no. But does that show how much you really care? Yes. You have such a kind heart y/n. Don't let it go to waste."
I turned my head up to bury my face into his neck.
"I love you derek."
"I love you too, beautiful." It was silent until he grabbed my hand "and don't let anyone break your beauty."
