My Anchor || Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 23: Abomination

I woke up the next morning feeling warmer than usual. I wasn't in my own bed making me really confused but then last nights events came flooding back. Derek fighting Scott and I. Boyd being bitten and leaving the ice rink with Derek, Erica and Isaac. Going to Stiles's house. Telling Stiles I loved him. Stiles kissing me... I'm in his bedroom. In his bed. Holy hell. I felt his warm breath on me neck and his surprisingly strong arm around my waist. I turned my head and looked at him. Like, really looked at him. His eyes were closed and his mouth was open slightly, he was snoring lightly and just looked so peaceful. I wonder if I look that peaceful when I'm asleep. Sleep is such a vulnerable state to be in. It would be so easy for someone to just come up to you and you would never wake up. You wouldn't even know what was happening. You'd be unconscious. Why am I thinking this?! Stiles started stirring and I stopped looking at him, so I wouldn't look creepy. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. I hear him softly laugh and his heart beat race. All I could think was; He loves me. He had said that and I had said it back.

"I can tell you're awake, you know?" He spoke softly, his raspy morning voice made it sound so pure. I rolled over and looked at him again. He was sitting up slightly and looking down at me with the smallest sweetest smile on his face, dimples showing and caramel eyes sparkling. I didn't know what to say.

"Hey." I resorted to.

"Hey." He responded sounding just as awkward as I.

"So... that happened." I stated nervously, both wanting to never leave his embrace but also not be touched anymore. It all happened so fast last night but I don't remember much after that second kiss... It had been a long night.

"Yeah... It sure did." He smiled nervously. This was too awkward. I had to leave. Think of an excuse Alex... SCHOOL!

"We have to go to school, don't we?" I started to get up and out of the bed, his Star Wars hoodie and sweatpants still on. I would have to go back to the house and face Derek (if he was even there) and get changed.

"Yeah... Um, do you want me to go back to your place with you? I know you probably don't wanna face Derek alone." I smiled at him with admiration. He was deadly scared of Derek, even though he'll never admit it, yet he will still come with me. He's so cute.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah of course." He whispered softly. I contemplated my next move and weighed up the pros and cons, only found pros. Okay let's do it, my brain said. I lifted my head up and kissed him on the lips. Suddenly, nothing else mattered. Not Derek, not the cuts on my face and body, not school. Nothing. Just him. I heard the door creak open and my heart stopped. We pulled away and looked at the person at the door.

"Oh my god." They exclaimed.

"Dad! You always knock, what the hell?!"

"Morning Alex." Mr Stilinski nodded at me, looking more awkward then Scott asking Allison out the first time.

"Mr. S." I said quietly and nodded to him. Thank god he didn't notice the cuts on my face or we would have even more explaining to do.

"Urm... You guys better get up. You have school." He goes to say something else but leaves and closes the door. I hear him mumble a quiet 'finally' and laugh softly. I turn to Stiles and both our cheeks are burning. It was silent and neither of us knew what to say or do. I hate this. Why did I come here. I'm so glad that I finally told Stiles how I feel but I'm not sure either of us can handle to awkwardness.

"School?" I blurted out.

"Yep." He responded and we quickly jumped out of his bed. Stiles had a shower and got dressed while I waited in his room. I recapped the events of last night and my smile of happiness soon turned into a frown of disappointment and scowl of anger. How dare Derek do those things. How could he do that to me? Knock me out, tie me up then beat Scott and I to bloody pulps and just leave without saying anything. This isn't my brother. Maybe I just need to accept that this is him now. But if it is, I don't want to be around him. Plus we don't know what sort of creature is attacking and killing people so that's fun... Stiles loves me. He said so. I can't believe that after all this time. We kissed. And no, we didn't have sex, just thought I'd let all you dirty minded people know. But now it's awkward and I don't know what to say... I hate my life.
