Derek hasn't had the best track record when it comes to relationships. He is broken and he has yet to realize his worth. Sometimes we need to see ourselves from the eyes of the people we love to know we matter. It's about finding the strength to be...

Derek POV
I am lying in bed; Stiles is fast asleep on my chest. Isaac knocks softly, only my wolf ears can here. I whisper for him to enter. He walks in and smiles.
"Derek, the pack has left. I put the pack notes on the counter in the kitchen. Please call me if you need anything." He whispers.
I nod at him and watch him leave the room.
This is so weird. I was so scared. I was so stupid.
Stiles is not Kate.
Stiles is not Jennifer.
Stiles is Stiles, and I need him.
I start to run my fingers through his hair, knowing he will never sleep tonight if he doesn't wake up soon.
"Mmmm..Der..no wakey yet." He says as he tries to snuggle closer into me.
"Babe, if you don't get up you will not sleep tonight." I say to get a rise out of him.
"I'm sorry did you just call me babe?" He asks, as he stares at me with those whiskey colored eyes.
I'm laughing now, making Stiles bounce all around, which puts him in a fit of laughter. We are both laughing, tears are streaming down our cheeks. It's always that way with Stiles, just easy.
He stays with me for a little while longer and then heads home to study. He only has a month or so before he starts college and I want him to be ready.
Even though my body temperature runs hot most of the time, it feels cold like my warmth has left me.
Stiles my shining star, he makes me better.
I am alone now, no pack, and no Stiles.
I look through the pack notes a couple times and then decide to text Isaac.
D: Hey Issy, so what's the word with the pack? I am sure they were surprised.
I: To be honest Derek we all are pretty ecstatic. You seemed happy with him around and we would know, since you radiated it through the house.
Derek smiles.
I: Also, apparently Scott knows Stiles and has heard very interesting things about you lol.
D: With Stiles's potty mouth I am sure I know what kinds of things he's been saying. Lol. Thanks, Issy. TTYL
I text Stiles.
D: So, babe, what kind of things have you been saying to Scott...hmmm?
I get no reply for a bit, I know he's choosing his comeback wisely.
S: Der, babe, honey you know it was nothing but good things. I mean I would never say that you had an ass I could bounce a dime off of or the fact that you are literally sex on legs.
D: Damn. It's nice to know that I am a god in your eyes. BTW I am dying laughing over here lololol
Stiles POV
I am clutching to this warm, soft man. I do not want to move, I do not want to think, but he's making me.
I reluctantly get up.
I say my goodbyes, kissing Derek on the forehead.
I make my way home; dad is there with Peter.
"Stiles, how are you?" My dad asks.
"To be honest dad I am feeling really good. Things are going better then I planned. How are you two?" I say gesturing to Peter lying on the couch with his head in my dad's lap.
Noah's face turns bright red. "We are gg...good." He says.
Peter laughs and I head to my room.
My dad is so funny, I really don't care what they do as long as they both are happy.
An hour later as I am sitting cross legged on my computer chair reading, I get a text.
It's Derek asking about what I say to Scott and he's trying to embarrass me.
"Not going to happen, Hale" I say to myself.
I send him the obnoxious text and it gets the well-deserved reaction, regardless of the fact that those were in fact the words I said to Scott.
Speaking of Scott, I get a text from him.
Scott: Dude, I didn't know that was Derek you were talking about...that's gross...lolololol
Stiles: Oh, shut up! You are just jealous of his hot bod! Lololol. Now I have questions, you got some time? I want to call.
I don't wait for a response I just call and of course Scott answers and I begin to interrogate him about everything werewolf.
I find out that wolfs bane is super bad, pack mentality is a thing, Derek has yet to embrace his pack like he should as an alpha. Scott is dating Isaac who is Derek's second in command, Jackson handles training and fighting, and Erica and Boyd are support. Derek has only been an alpha for a short period of time and he is not confident about it.
I am glad that I am talking to Scott about this because I guarantee that Derek would not be that honest, at least about himself.
I know Derek is having a hard time. I really hope I can pull him out of his shell. If he wants me to be my best, I want that for him too.
A/N: This chapter is really just filler I realize, but I mean they cute!! <3
Don't worry I have plans. *evil laughter* Mwhahahaha!!
