AN: This is just a thought I had about how Derek would react to Stiles becoming darker after sacrificing himself for the Nemeton. I feel like losing Stiles would affect Derek a lot more than we would see.
Dark
He is a bright blue ocean, letting everything in but taking nothing away. All he has to do is say so, and I'm there, bringing him home while I'm being pushed away.
And it's still dark. It surrounds his heart without his permission, letting go of the brown-eyed boy, too smart for his own good.
And he knows. He knows he'll be gone soon, and so will I. I'll be gone from his heart and emptiness will replace me.
And I know. I know I couldn't have stopped him. He loves too much. He cares too much to not have sacrificed himself. But by giving himself, he took me with him.
And it's still dark.
