Help me save my balls? (Sterek)

Chapter 28

Stiles' POV

For what seems like forever, Derek stares at me. In reality, it's probably only a few seconds, but I get lost in his gaze and I'm only pulled back to reality when he finally utters

"Ok." And that's it. After my whole rousing speech, it's just a simple 'ok'. God what an asshole! I restrain myself from calling him out on it and instead, decide its time someone new came into my spot.

"You can come a little closer if you want. The stars look great from here." I say.

"But your dad said-"

"I thought the whole point of this discussion was my dad can be wrong." I interrupt him and he chuckles a little. A hearty chuckle, but still quiet and calm, so not to disturb the beautiful tranquility up here. He sits up and crawls on his hands and knees to sit next to me. He mirrors my position and rests his head back like mine to see the stars.

"You're right, the stars do look more beautiful up here." He whispers. I don't know why he whispers but it just seems appropriate. However, when I turn to look at him, he is not looking at the sky, rather, staring at me intensely.

I blush and try to look away, but he gently grabs my chin and turns me to look at him again.

"By stars, I mean you." And I roll my eyes. Then something happens that I thought would only occur in my wildest fantasies.

Slowly, as if to give me time to pull away if I would, for some bizarre reason, wish to, he leans in. The next thing I know, our lips are pressed together in a slow, passionate kiss.

My brain goes into overdrive. What the hell? Yeah so this is what I've always wanted, but what if it means something different to him? What if this is just his way of saying sorry? Oh god! What if this is just pity! It's as if he can sense my brain whirring at a ferocious speed, because he pulls away just slightly and says

"Stop over thinking it Stiles." So close to me, I can feel his mouth moving on mine. I nod once and we get back to kissing. One hand of his snakes around my waist and pulls me closer to him. The way I'm positioned gives me the illusion of dominance, but in reality, we both know he's leading everything.

With him sitting back against a wall and his legs straight out in front of him now, I rest my hand on his chest and lean over him to kiss better.

Despite my complete virginial charm, I consider myself rather good at kissing, thanks to Brad Riley and the rule about what happens at camp.

For what seems like forever, we just kiss and nuzzle, sometimes moving to trace along other parts of each other with our mouths, but nothing below the shoulders. Suddenly, I get an idea. I jump up quickly, instantly missing Derek's warmth and comfort.

"I'll be right back!" I say and when he looks slightly sad at that, I bend over and kiss him once more before dashing off. I run to where I can get into the house and grab the top blanket off our bed. It's thick and woolly, but looks easy enough to get up onto the roof. Tying it around me, I scramble back up onto the roof. Luckily, Derek can't see my rather ungraceful roll onto the slates, but I'm willing to bet he can hear it just as well and is laughing his ass off. At least on the inside. As soon as I'm on two stable feet, I untie the blanket and walk back towards Derek.

When I get there, he's in exactly the same position as when I left him, looking up at the stars. He turns to me slowly, smiling a little. I go back to sit next to him with my head resting on his chest, a bit unsure of myself until his hand starts combing through my hair. *yeah this is long hair Stiles, Cus lets face it, he's so much cuter!*

I spread out the blanket so that it's covering both of us and snuggle down into the warmth and Derek.

"You know, I thought I was going to be your blanket." He says and I snort.

"Yeah, but I'd rather not suffocate in my sleep, thank you very much." I say and he makes an offended huffing noise.

"Fine, freeze, see if I care!" He says and I take him up on it. I start to shuffle away from him, bringing the blanket with me until he realises what I'm doing and silently pulls me back into him.

"It seems like you care plenty." I say and he stares down at me seriously.

"I do." And with that, more kissing ensues, but only for a short while. Eventually, we pull apart slightly short for breath and I go back to resting my head on Derek's chest, my hand sneakily placed on his ridiculously muscled abs. Or at least I thought it was sneaky until Derek says.

"You know, they'd be much more impressive without the shirt in the way."

And that's how I end up falling asleep in Derek's arms, stroking his abs with his hands in my hair lovingly, covered in a blanket so warm it must have been unconsciously disregarded part way through the night because when I wake up, it's crumpled to the side of us doing nothing.

Perhaps Derek is a good blanket after all.

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! AHHHH!

Yeah there will probably be a lot of soppy talking next time so... Be prepared!

Thank you so much to the people that have stuck with me so far...

I think there's two whole days left for them in the middle of nowhere, then the journey back, then maybe them with the rest of the pack and their reactions to the relationship... But I dunno! It could all change so easily, I've literally just been making it up as I go along...
