Help me save my balls? (Sterek)

Chapter 40

Stiles' POV

There is a moment of bliss soon after, me with a completely relaxed puppy on my lap letting me stroke it absentmindedly, Derek sitting next to me with his arm round me, also giving the puppy some loving and Ma and dad are just sitting, reading the books they got each other the same as every year. For that moment everyone's completely chilled and there's not a problem on anyone's mind.

That was until a beeping came from the kitchen and Ma screeches "Dinner time!" Running out of the room to remove the chicken from the oven and place the final pieces of the meal on the table.

"So not only do you have your Christmas meal on Christmas Eve, you don't even use a turkey?"

"Yeah, but have you tried Turkey? Like without all the fancy trimmings? It's like the most plain dry meat ever! You don't eat it any other time of they year, and there's a good reason!" I declare and he just sighs and nods

"Yeah, ok. Is there anything I can help with?"

"No dear, sit down!" Ma butts in.

"Where would you like me?" He asks.

"Anywhere you want, honey." She assures him.

"Here." I say, pulling out a chair for him.

"Always such a gentleman." He tells me with a sarcastic undertone but hey, I was being nice, so screw him.

"Derek your politeness must be rubbing off on Stiles here. You're such a good influence." Ma says and I almost choke on the water I was drinking.

"Derek? Polite? Did I tell you about the time Erica and him-" Derek kicks my shin under the table and I glare at him. Ma either doesn't notice or doesn't care. Damn him and his ways of charming old people.

"Oh so I'm not allowed to tell people about that?" I ask, which earns me a glare from Derek. "Because you seemed perfectly happy to when-" Another kick and glare. "Fine."

"So how was your day, lovebirds?" Ma asks, taking her seat next to dad on the table across from Derek and I.

"It had its ups and downs." I say, shrugging, with a look at Derek. He just smirks and looks down at his empty plate, which Ma of course notices.

"Of course! Let's eat!" She begins to dish up the feast in front of us.

I'm sorry it took so long! I really am! But I went to a Gerard Way concert (I KNOW ASDFGHJKL) and got sick because we had to wait in the snow (totally worth it). I know it's not much of an excuse but I'm sorry it's so short and took so long!

In other news, I've decided there is going to be a pet name for the dog, Sourwolf and they're gonna wait to go back to the pack for a proper name. So that gives me more time to decide basically, because you have so many good ideas and I'm really bad at decisions. Please give me any other ideas too. I've made a list and I'm trying to decide but it's soooo hard!
