Stiles sighed as Derek's lips moved gently against his own, his arms snaking up to wrap around his shoulders. "I didn't know you could be so gentle." he said quietly, pulling their lips apart for a brief second to speak.
The older man nudged his nose with his own "I can be full of surprises when I want to be." he gave Stiles another gentle peck on the lips, a small smile lighting up his features.
He smiled back, snuggling closer to his boyfriend "I can see that. You should surprise me like this more often. It's nice."
"It is, isn't it?" Derek pressed kisses to his forehead and the corners of his eyes "Especially because it makes you smile."
Stiles floundered for a reply to that for a few seconds, a blush dusting his cheeks "I love you." he settled on finally, capturing Derek's lips in another loving kiss, cupping his face in his hands.
Derek moved from resting his hands on the boys back to wrapping his arms around him, pulling him as close as possible. He could hear his heart stutter in his chest and the wolf took pride in knowing he had that effect on Stiles. He pulled away from kissing Stiles on the lips to pepper his face with kisses, enjoying the pleased noises he was making.
Stiles' chest felt heavy, heart swelling from the love Derek was raining on him. He'd never thought being held and kissed like this would feel so good, his body tingling the same way it did after an orgasm. He also never thought that Derek Hale, broody werewolf extraordinaire, would be the person that was making him feel that way, surprised he had other emotions besides angry and even more shocked to see he could do other things than fuck him senseless and slam him into walls in an attempt to intimidate him (and it worked. Quite well actually).
"I love you, too."
The words snapped Stiles from his thoughts "What?"
"You said you loved me, so I'm letting you know I love you, too." he replied simply.
The teen swallowed around the sudden lump in his throat "I don't think I'm ever going to get used to you saying that."
Derek tilted his head to the side and Stiles couldn't help but think of a puppy "Why's that?"
He shrugged "I don't know. Just, maybe it's because you're Derek Hale and I'm Stiles Stilinski. I'm not complaining or anything but I just don't seem like the Alpha of Beacon Hills type."
"I have a soft spot for adorable, social outcasts." he teased.
"Hey! While that is sort of true it's very rude to point it out!" he pouted, letting his head drop to rest on the older mans chest.
"I'm just messing with you Stiles." he said softly, kissing the top his head "That and you apparently missed the part where I called you adorable."
"No, I heard it. I just refuse to acknowledge it." Stiles wasn't adorable, he was manly.
"Why, does it wound your manly pride." Derek rolled hi eyes, amused by his boyfriend's stubbornness "Fine, you're not adorable, you're irresistibly sexy and manly as fuck."
Stiles chuckled "Good to see you finally realized it. Glad we finally reached this important milestone in our relationship."
Derek had to stifle a laugh "You're an idiot, Stiles."
"But I'm your idiot and you love it. It's endearing." he countered, nuzzling the older mans jaw, sighing contentedly.
He shrugged "I guess so." he grabbed Stiles chin, tilting his face up so he could kiss him again. "You do know it's almost time for your dad to get home right?"
The teen nodded "I know, but I was thinking, maybe tonight would be a good time to tell him." he paused, waiting for Derek's answer.
He shrugged "Okay, if you want to. We will."
Stiles smiled and kissed him "Thank you sourwolf."
"Don't make me change my mind Stilenski."
