Till I See You Again

PART TWO

Derek's POV:

'Where are you?' Stiles texted as I parked the car in one of the restaurant's parking garages. Opening the car door, I held my phone in my right hand, locking the car with my left hand. I smiled down at my phone.

'I'm on my way. Two minutes.' I texted back before placing my phone in my back pocket, running into the restaurant and over to the table where I saw Stiles sitting down at.

"I thought you were going to at least look decent." Stiles mumbled underneath his breath as I looked down at my clothes, I was wearing a grey v-neck and some dirty black jeans.

"I lost track of time, I'm sorry." I said as I lowered the menu back onto the ground, I could see the hurt in Stiles's eyes, I reached out as I grabbed his hand. "I am. Truly."

"I know you are." He said with a smile as I watched all of his anger leave his body. I smiled back as Stiles turned his attention back to his menu. "What are you thinking?" I lowered my menu back on the table.

I picked the menu back up, scanning through the different options. "I don't know yet, what about you?"

"Same, but whatever I'm getting, I'm totally getting some curly fries with it."

I let out a soft chuckle. "You can't come to a restaurant like this and get curly fries?"

"Watch me." He said with a smile. We had ordered our food less than ten minutes later and as soon as the waiter left, Stiles stared into my eyes and I stared into his eyes. Neither one of us moved. And neither one  of us said anything. It wasn't until Stiles reached across the table, taking my hand into his, lacing our fingers. I smiled back over at Stiles as my pointer finger traced across Stiles's hand.

"This is nice." Stiles commented as he pulled back. "It's been a while since me and you had some one on one time and I've missed you so much." I smiled back at him, taking his hand back into mine. "So, after dinner, I want to take you somewhere. I would ask to go back to your loft but I don't know-"

"You're always welcomed at my loft. You're a part of me and that means that it's your loft now too." I paused for a minute before reaching inside my jacket. "I wanted to give you this." I handed it to Stiles.

As Stiles held the key in his hands, his heart began racing. "Is this a key to your loft?"

"I'm not asking you to move in with me but I think we can take this step, you know? Which is why I gave you the key, I want you to be able to come over anytime you want."

"Der, this-this is everything." Stiles said as he cupped the key in his hand. "Can we just get out of here already?" I softly chuckled before shaking my head. "Why?" he whined.

"Let's just enjoy dinner and then we can go back to my loft and you can spend the night, okay?" I offered, with a smile and a nod, Stiles motioned the waiter to come back over so we could order. Around twenty minutes later, the food came. I knew Stiles was still thinking about what I told him because he shoved his food down his throat as fast as he could as I knew we were thinking the same thing. We were both dying for some alone time with each other.

After dinner and after debating on whether or not we were both ready to go home, we ended up driving to a nearby park, it was Stiles's idea. As we walked around the lake that was wrapped around the park, I held onto Stiles's hand, laughing and smiling before pulling him close to me. He rested his head on my chest as we stared into the night sky.

"Do you ever think about the future?"" He looked at me.

"Yeah, I-I mean, I think about what I'm going to do after I graduate high school."

"No, Stiles, I mean our future." He looked surprised before shaking his head. "Well, once you finish high school, and I know you have my key now but I want you to move in with me."

"Are you serious?" I nodded. "Yes, yes! I would love to!" He jumped into my arms as I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him in tight.

"And then if things are still looking good, we can talk more about our future, talk about getting married, maybe even adopting." Stiles smiled and before I could finish, he kissed me, getting lost in the moment, I kissed him back. I went to say something but before I could, the sound of movement in the distances had made me freeze in my tracks.

"What's that?" I heard Stiles ask as I looked around.

"Hunters."
