Hello! This is my first upload anywhere. I've been too chicken to upload. So here we go! Just a short little Sterek one-shot. Reviews of any kind are appreciated.


They were sitting in the booth at the end of the quiet diner. Slowly munching their food. Stiles had been trying to get Derek's attention all night. Derek wasn't feeling chatty. "Hey sourwolf, why do you heal faster than the others?" asked Stiles, trying to make small talk.

"I'm the alpha." was Derek's short reply. He didn't even look up from his food.

Stiles took a few more bites of his own food. Then he tried again. "So is it difficult to lead the betas? I imagine it would be a demanding job." Asked Stiles.

Derek looked up at Stiles incredulously. "I'm the alpha." He responded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. He then went back to ignoring Stiles.

"How have the Betas been doing with their training? Have you been working them to hard again?" asked Stiles, once again trying to break the awkward silence.

Derek sighed, "I'm the alpha." he said in response. Not looking up. Was this all Derek could say? Stiles decided to test this.

"Hey Derek, what do you think about this new fall breeze?" asked Stiles with his sarcastic voice.

Derek chewed a moment as if thinking about his answer, but he apparently came up short. "I'm the alpha?" he said with a shrug. And continued eating.

It was time for Stiles to use his wit. He though for a moment, and then decided to use the trick that always had Scott baffled. He reached behind Derek's ear and did the coin trick pulling it out and showing it to Derek.

"How did you do that?" said Derek looking surprised. Seriously had he never seen this before?

Stiles smirked at Derek and simply said. "I'm the alpha." he knew that would have Derek pissy for awhile, so he got up and threw away his garbage, leaving Derek there to stew.
