oh how things change. (Sterek)

Chapter 18. No-more-gitsune.

We met everyone at the school, Aiden and Ethan came with me as they turned up at my door just before we left, pleading for me to go away with them, I wasn't about to run away let alone lose Stiles again so I said no and I talked them in to not running either, in fact, they're going to fight with us. Scott was there with Deaton, discussing something in a hushed whisper, Lydia was sat on a bench rubbing her temples and Allison was sat next to her staring in to space, Kira was stood on her own, practising her sword work, the look of concentration on her face.. They caught us up on the previous nights events, the Nogitsune managed to take control of the Oni so we now have a problem on our hands. We needed to separate the Oni and the Nogitsune.
So the plan is, Scott, Lydia, Stiles and Kira where to look inside the school and me and the twins we're to stay out side, lure the Oni, fight until the others had completed their task. Deaton went and we made our way to the schools main entrance, where there are some steps leading to the entrance doors. The others disappeared through the doors, everything was quiet, eerily quiet.
We went around the side of the school, near the other entrance and sure enough, the Nogitsune was sat on the top step, the Oni stood protectively behind him. We were all soon fighting, no one gaining an upper hand, no one losing. We must have been fighting for a good 20 minutes, half hour maybe when one of the Oni started lighting up yellow in its chest, bursting into a puff of smoke. I looked around and Chris was stood with a bow, Isaac running towards the fight. I looked at Chris with a puzzled look and he said one word in explanation "silver." I turned back towards the fight and I noticed the Nogitsune retreating slowly in to the school, evidently shaken by seeing the fact that the Oni can be killed. Another 10 minutes passed and all of a sudden, all of the Oni had disappeared, just vanished with a puff of smoke. I turned to see that Isaac had gone along with the triscalade box. We stood in silence for a bit then everyone from inside the school came running out, shouting with joy. They did it, they got rid of the nuisance that was the nogitsune.

Allison ran towards her father, giving him a big hug, Isaac followed, shaking Chris' hand and placing his other hand on Allisons back. Lydia ran towards the twins, hugging both of them but kissing Aiden. Scott and Kira came out last, both holding stiles up. I ran towards him, touching and rubbing any part of him that I could.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Nothing man, I just fainted."

I picked him up and squeezed him, Scott and Kira came together then, holding each other's hand and Scott rubbing her smiling face. We went back to my place after that to celebrate, we just chatted back and forth about what had happened. Scott's mum and Stiles' dad came over not long after and we were all surprised to see that they were holding hands, I could have sworn I saw a tear in the eyes of Scott and Stiles, and I could understand why. They were truly brothers now. The sheriff came over and placed a hand on Stiles' shoulder, then he turned to me.

"Derek, can I talk to you... alone. please."

We went into my bedroom, knowing there was a lot of werewolf ears about.

"Look, Derek, I know I kicked off about... well, you know what. I've changed my mind. I've seen what you two mean to each other."

"Yes sir. he's my... he's my anchor."

"And you're his. I saw everything you did for him, even when it got too hard, when we all nearly have up, you were still there, looking for him or even just being there."

"I thought I could be the ons to bring him back."

"Me too son. But he didn't have any control, if he had of, you'd have been the one to bring him back. I believe that now."

"Thank you sir."

"Less of the sir. and no sex 'till he's 18."

"Of course not, and thank you, could this night get any better?"

"We'll see son, we'll see. let's go join the rest of them... party."

When we rejoined the group, Kira's parents had also joined us, Deaton too. We ordered a takeaway- much to the takeaway guys disappointment. when everyone left, Stiles stayed, with his dads permission. After what his dad has just done for him, he was going to keep his word, he hadn't said anything about other sexual pleasures though and so far that's all they had done, and will do until Stiles was 18.

We sat on the couch, Stiles was absently turning my hair around and around with his fingers, the tv was on, but I didn't know what was on, I was busy looking at Stiles, he looked so tired.

"How're you feeling?"

"I feel... better. Before... Before we trapped... Him... I was, erm, dying. I could feel it slowly taking me, now I'm just tired."

"Shall we go to bed? To sleep of course..."

"Not yet. I just want to sit with you for a bit. I'm sorry by the way."

"And what have you got to be sorry for?"

"The things I did, I know what you must have gone through."

"It wasn't you."

"I remember everything I did, I just had no control over any of it."

"Exactly. wasn't you. and no one is blaming you so ease up on yourself."

"Ok boss. what did my dad say? Good news I'm assuming... seeing as I'm still here."

I didn't answer that, I just grinned at him, then leaned in for a kiss.

"I missed you." I breathed into his mouth before putting my forehead on his forehead.

"Promise me, you'll always protect me."

"I promise."

We went to bed after that. Neither of us knew what would happen the day after, but for that moment, we didn't care, it was just us 2 and that was enough.
