ANOTHER STORY ANOTHER TIME

CHAPTER NINE * DEREK

Stiles stood there staring at Lydia, his mind stretched all the way back to the auction day when he thought he saw the silhouette of this man standing before him! Stiles was not ready for this interaction. Derek was one of the people he had missed the most besides his father. When it came down to it, he finally figured out that Derek and his dad were the only two people that he could actually trust! When he found out Scott had another girlfriend, he thought oh well Scott's basically felt incomplete without a companion! Then he found out that Scott's newest girlfriend was his own ex-girlfriend, he basically just stopped missing him altogether!

Then there was Lydia, Lydia was the love of his life, she tore and broke his heart the day before he left for basic training by breaking up with him, and now he found out that she's dating one of his friends from the police station, Parrish, and he was pretty sure that she was now pregnant! Needless to say, Derek may have picked on him and they may have acted like they did not like each other but Derek was always there for Stiles and Stiles was always there for Derek their trust was their bond.

Stiles basically wanted to go home and go to bed. He was just to physically, and emotionally exhausted to try to get through this but apparently, he had no choice. Like most things in Stiles's life, this presented a bit of a challenge. The man in front of him still seemed to be the same broody person that he knew from before, apparently six years hadn't changed him!

"Stiles." was all the man standing in front of him had to say, in return,

"Sour Wolf." was all Stiles was going to offer him. Derek cringed at the nick name.

Then Stiles looked at Derek, "Do you remember the first thing you ever said to me?" Derek pressed his lips together.

"Yes, Stiles I believe I said to you and Scott, what are you doing here, this is private property!" Lydia head spun around so fast her hair hit her face, as she looked with stern eyes at Stiles,

"No Stiles don't do this, not this way!" She was afraid of how this fight would go, it could turn into a shouting match which Stiles would win or it could turn into a physical match which obviously Derek would win, she wanted to keep the piece! Stiles turned to Derek,

"We Need to talk!" Derek shook his head acknowledging him.

"Agreed, this way!" The three of them walked towards Stiles's jeep, Derek stopped and turned around,

"Lydia, do you mind if Isaac gives you a ride back?" he asked and said at the same time.

"Um okay.!" she agreed. Lydia gave Derek a big hug, he surprisingly returned it as well, he had actually cared for her very much! Lydia turned to look at Stiles, "Don't be an ass, remember, he is your friend, not your enemy!" Stiles kind of frowned,

"That is yet to be determined!" He said as she walked over to Derek's newer black Camaro. Stiles turned to Derek as Derek was telling him,

"Look out!" but the statement was too late, a pair of long arms wrapped around his torso, as someone kisses the top of his head.

"My God Stiles," the young man whined, Stiles patted his hands, he knew it was Isaac!" After a huge hug where Isaac marked Stiles, he let go, spun Stiles around and he placed his thumbs by Stiles eyes then pulled their heads together till their foreheads were touching.

"It's good to see you my old friend!" Stiles said as he looked into Isaac's obviously tired eyes.

Derek produced his anxious growl,
