Staying with the Hales

Chapter Eleven:Dinner For My Winner

It's currently 2:something in the morning and I could literally feel the exhaustion rolling around in my body,but I just can't sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Derek parked his car silently not looking back at his siblings or mate, they could tell that Derek's mood had been messed with and that he was no longer happy. Derek shut his door and waited for his father to park, they had decided to go to TGIF's Derek loved it there. They all entered together and asked for a table for ten, Amanda had to work and couldn't be there.

Here's the thing,Derek liked Amanda, she was nice and pretty funny but she really wasn't all that close to Derek. He wasn't devastated that she missed his game, or that she couldn't make it to dinner. Derek cared for her, for his brother's sake but that's all.

The restaurant was packed, they somehow found the Hales a table big enough for the whole family.Derek took a seat by his mother quietly, he didn't feel like being teased by Laura again or tempted to be around Stiles. Stiles sat across of him and he couldn't help but feel bad for Derek.

Derek was so unhappy, and his family didn't seem to catch on or even try to find out why. The waitress practically skipped to the table and she grinned at her guest. Derek didn't like how chipper she seemed.

"And what can I get you guys to drink."She chimed a wide smile on her face.

They all ordered their separate drinks and she nodded and walked off giving them time to order. Derek was scowling at his hands not paying attention to his family. Stiles watched him intently, he should do something to try and cheer him up later.

"Derek what in the world is your problem, you won tonight's game, and a scout wants you in his college."Mr.Hale finally mumbled angrily breaking the silence in the table.

"David."Talia gave him a cautious glare.

"Well...."his father sighed annoyed.

Derek only scoffed loudly and stood quiet, that aggravated Mr.Hale even more. All the Hale's and Stiles watched how David would react to his son's answer. David's face turned pink with anger and Talia rested her hand on her husband's arm trying to sooth him.

"You know what why don't you guys have dinner without me."Derek stood up and put on his coat.

"This dinner is for you."Daniel gave his brother a confused glance.

"Derek are you on your man period?"Laura snickered.

"Is everything a joke to you?"Derek glared at his older sister annoyed.

"Chill, Derek."Cora said with an eye roll.

"I'm leaving."Derek glared at his family and stomped out the restaurant.

Talia sighed and rubbed her temples stressed. What surprised the rest of the Hale's was that Stiles stood up put on his sweater and went after Derek. If they weren't going to do it Stiles would.

"Derek wait."Stiles called after him the cool air hit him hard.

Derek turned around and Stiles could see that his face was twisted with pain. Stiles rushed to him and wrapped his arms around his body cold. Derek looked away from Stiles his cheeks pink.

"Derek what happened?"Stiles placed a cold hand on Derek's shoulder.

"It's nothing, they're probably waiting for you."Derek's voice was raw and Stiles held onto his shoulder tightly.

"Nothing looks like something, babe."Stiles mumbled sympathetically.

"Stiles it's okay, I'm fine."Derek's voice shook.

Stiles brought Derek into a hug and Derek covered his face in Stiles' shoulder and gripped him tightly. Stiles could feel Derek shaking, and hear his quiet sobs. Stiles rubbed his back gently and mumbled soothing words in his ears.

"Want me to drive you home?"Stiles whispered.

Derek nodded and sniffed still holding onto Stiles. Stiles wrapped his arms around Derek and they both walked quietly to the Camero. Stiles opened the passenger side for Derek and then shut the door behind his boyfriend.

Talia rushed out the restaurant and to Stiles and Derek. She saw how her son was too upset to drive and sat in the passenger side quietly.

"What happened?"Talia mumbled quietly concern in her eyes.

Stiles looked back at Derek who nodded and rested his head on the car window."Derek hates football."

"What?!?"Talia mumbled surprised.

"He hates it, he only plays it to make his father proud but he hates it.Derek is actually really good at writing, singing, and drawing. Plus he likes doing that."Stiles smiled gently at Derek's mother.

A tear rolled down her cheek and she wiped it away quickly.She opened Derek's door and bent down to his level. Stiles couldn't hear what she was telling him.

"Baby I'm so sorry, I'm so very sorry."She held on to her sons hands firmly tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Mom it's okay, it's my fault not yours."Derek mumbled and wiped one of the tears off his mother's cheeks.

"It is, I barely know you and that's my fault."She looked ashamed.

"Mom it's fine, just go eat, I'll be with Stiles we'll be fine."Derek smiled reassuringly to her.

She nodded and kissed his forehead. "When did you become so mature."She laughed quietly.

Derek shrugged still smiling. She squeezed his hand and stood up. She walked up to Stiles and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you."She mumbled in his ear and walked back into the restaurant.

Stiles smiled and sat on the drivers side of the car.

"I like your mom."Was all he mumbled and Derek nodded.

Stiles pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road smiling to himself. Derek smiled at his mate and rested his head on the window once again.

Stiles passed the intersection that would take them home and continued driving.

"Uh...Sti you passed the intersect."Derek looked at his boyfriend confused.

"I know."Stiles hummed and turned on the radio.

Derek gave him a confused glare as Stiles sped up. Stiles started grinning happily and drove past their school. Derek could feel his heart rate speed up with anxiety.

Stiles rolled into the diners parking lot and smiled. Derek chuckled and wiped his face a smile still on it.

"Dinner for my winner!"
