Derek woke with a gasp, the smell of smoke and screams still ringing in his ears. His heart was thundering in his chest, his breathing coming in gasps as he looked wildly around, slowly calming down enough to recognize his room.
A nightmare, a terrible memory of things that had happened years ago. Everyone was safe, there was no fire, no one screaming for help.
There was movement beside him. "Derek? What's wrong?"
Derek looked down as the man beside him sat up, blinking sleepily at him. He slowly relaxed asStiles rubbed at his eyes, blinking tiredly at him, trying to focus. Derek couldn't help himself, he leaned over and softly kissed him.
"Nothing. It's nothing, I'm fine, go back to sleep." He tucked Stiles against him, back to chest. Derek smiled as Stiles slurring softly as he slowly drifted back to sleep, "I love you."
Derek pressed a kiss to his temple, and gentle whispered, "I love you, too.", and started drifting back to sleep.
Everything was fine.
