The Bite: Derek Hale x reader (One Shots)

Doctor Derek Hale pt 3

Derek snuck out that night after watching her fall asleep in comfort. He ended up talking to her for a while about nothing in particular. He learned that she was single and she learned he was single too which she found hard to believe. He would chuckle every time she would bring it up and he'd say nothing more. He would just smile and laugh.

A couple days had past abs he decided to visit again... actually as a guest this time.
He walked into her room and saw her heart rate monitor beep loudly abs rapidly.
"So it wasn't from the infection." He mumbled to himself. He was stumped at this point. Why was her heart rate so high?
He sat next to her and she smiled at him with tired eyes.
"How are you feeling?"
"A lot better." She hummed happily.
"Good." He nodded, still with a little disappointment written on his face.
"What's up? You look unhappy."
"No..." he shook his head "not unhappy just stumped."
"By what?"
"Your heart rate. I thought it was because of your infection before but it's still pretty high now. Abs I asked the doctor to record some scores and they were normal then. Why am I the only one catching it?"
"Uh..." she mumbled.
"What is it? Do you know something?"
"I don't think it's cause I'm sick."
"What do you mean?"
"Well if it's only you that sees it, it must only be when you're in the room right?"
"Right."
"So my heartbeat raises... when you're in the room."
His eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
She likes me? He asked himself. It was like a fever dream to him. She liked him and he liked her.
But he couldn't right? She was a patient, and she should be concerned about getting better, not hiding a relationship from everyone else in the world.
"Look... I like you too."
"Then why do you sound so depressed about it?"
"Because it's not right. At least... not now. You're in recovery, you're a patient. I'm a doctor. One it wouldn't be morally right and two, you need to recover. You should be focused on that. Not on me."
She sighed but knew he was thinking right. She really wanted him but she needed to get better first. She nodded in agreement and started to speak.
"Okay, I will. But as soon as I'm out, we are going on a date."
"It's a deal." He nodded with a big smile.
"Deal."
Derek got up to leave but she stuttered a 'wait' which caused him to stop and turn.
"Can you kiss me before you leave at least?"
Derek smiled and walked back to her bed. He leaned down and kissed her gently before walking back to the door.
"I'll see you soon..."
"Bye Derek."
"Bye y/n."
