Erica was his first kiss. She tasted like bubblegum and had pushed him on the ground of Derek's balcony and made out heavily with him.

Isaac had never kissed anyone, but Erica tasted like adventure and they were casualty and happiness and they lost their virginity together on the floor.

Derek wasn't happy when he found his puppies stinging sex.


Boyd never went home. He basically lived on Derek's place. Erica had her own home, but she was always around too.

But they both had somewhere to go.

Isaac? Isaac was completely alone and some nights he would wake up and Derek would be gone and he would cry until sleep came.

So Erica started to stay over… and then Boyd. And one night he would wake up and Erica would be laughing with Boyd over some silliness and they would know Isaac was awake, but no one stopped talking or laughing and he would fall back on sleep with a smile.

Maybe that was family.


And then his entire family died again. (And Derek kicked him out, because why not?)
