Luke was pacing, on the phone with David.
"I'm fine darling. I promise. Well it was harrowing but-"
He heard the car coming up the drive. He peeked out a window from the upper story of his home.
"I'll have to call you back David."
By the time he got to the door, Derek was already standing there with a heart shaped box in hand.
He showed up on the door step with a rolling bag and a duffel bag on top of it that were still there as the cab pulled away. He looked as though he hadn't slept for a day.
"Hello. Your cab is leaving."
Derek fluctuated between a sad smile and a deep frown. Luke's voice seemed like it was breaking.
"I thought I'd keep your hat, you know, that you left behind in the hotel room. I know it's silly but a memento is always nice. What's in the box Derek?"
"Which box?"
"The heart shaped one you're holding?" Luke's voice squeaked.
"I had some time to think. Well, not enough time to think of course but maybe that was okay because you know if I think too hard about it I start to cry about it and I can't get that one perfect tear thing-"
"You're babbling pup."
"I love you."
You could hear the Santa Ana's coming down the canyon.
"Say what now?"
"I love you. I want to stay."
"I-"
"If you tell me you don't love me back, that's alright. I can handle that like a grown up. And LA is pretty big but-"
"Oh pup."
"Okay-" Derek squeaked.
"Silly wolf. Of course I love you-" Luke said, reaching out to pull Luke in. "I was just numbing the pain. I never thought I'd see you again-" he whispered in Luke's ear.
"I'm sorry I cause so much trouble."
"Life was far too easy. It's okay-" Luke whispered in Derek's ear. "We can be our own pack. Travel the world. Have one good life together- just a very long one."
Derek fell along the crook in Luke's neck, a mixture of a whimper and a purr.
"Thank you."
"I love you too, pup. Derek. I love you Derek. But- what is it we're squishing currently?" Luke asked, good naturedly. Not breaking far away but curious about the box.
"It's a box. Meant to be romantic and like you know date like. Like humans did. For a long time."
"So you brought me candy?" Luke asked, bemused.
"No. Oh-" Derek opened the box to reveal a heart squeezed into a heart shaped box.
"Who was that?"
"A cute grocer. Kind of looked like he should've been in porn. I know how you like working class boys."
"He was thick?"
"He was thick-" Derek said, nodding slowly and then continuing to nod.
"Silly pup- what am I gonna do with you-" Luke said affectionately as he pulled his wolf into his home and closed the door before kissing him hard.
