Sterek FIC
Chapter One:
It is six months after Lydia's death and Stiles still rings her phone to hear her voice. Even if they weren't together he still felt that they had a romantic connection. Lydia had previously been with the co-captain of the lacrosse team, Jackson Whitmore who also turned into a lizard monster called the kanima, and Aiden, one half of the werewolf twins. Jackson left and Aiden died which left Lydia heartbroken with only Stiles, who had long been in love with her, to be her shoulder to cry on. Inside Stiles always knew that they would never be together, the years of him planning his future with her were just to comfort him so that he would keep hope that he wouldn't be alone forever. Now that she's dead he has nobody. Even Scott has left him, Alisons death tore him limb from limb and he felt like he had to get away from Beacon Hills because of all of the memories that would haunt him for the rest of his life. There is Derek who is always there for Stiles. He never calls for Derek but the werewolf always hears him screaming awake from his nightmares about Lydias death. Derek comes to calm him and Stiles never sends him away. This has been happening for three months now and every night Derek comes to wake him from his pain riddled nightmares. For those past phew months they've been getting closer, Derek is now Stiles' rock. They sit together at the beach talking about Lydias death trying to get rid of the demons inside of both of them. Derek's mothers death and Lydia's death. They open up to each other about the horrors they have witnessed. One day Stiles asks Derek "Do you think I'll be alone for ever?" Derek takes a few minutes to think about this then answers "no Stiles I now for a fact that you'll find someone" Derek then looks away and asks "do you know that I'm not completely straight?" Stiles takes a while to think this over and says "Well I always had a theory that you and Scott had a thing when Alison left him." Derek laughs and answers "No no no, Scott was like my project I needed to train him to be an Alpha to try and take my mind of my mother. To be honest I've always had eyes for someone else." Stiles admits to Derek "You know I've not always been completely straight either, I always looked at the guys changing in the locker room." Derek laughs and smiles in a way that Stiles has never seen before. For the next few minutes they sit in silence until Stiles says "Well I guess we both pretended to be people we weren't, the truth is I guess I've always been a bit gay, Lydia was just a cover up so that people wouldn't know." Derek thinks this over and asks "Why didn't you want people to know?" Stiles answers "I just didn't think that people would accept me. I am not popular, I'm not handsome and I'm not likeable. Danny was accepted for who he was because he was all of them things. I'm just me." Derek stands up and so does Stiles. Derek says "You don't have to be all of them things to be accepted you know. I accept you for who you are, I know that Scott will and Lydia would have. Stiles sinks down against a near tree and sits with his head in his hands. Derek goes towards him and kneels by his side and rests his hand on Stiles' shoulder. "It's okay" says Derek. Stiles slowly looks up and stares deep into Derek's eyes, he says "You know what, I don't believe what they say about you the whole 'sour wolf' thing. It's not true, the real Derek is caring and doesn't have a heart of stone. I know this because of the past couple of months that we've spent as friends." A smile slides up Derek's face and he responds by just saying "Thank you." He pulls Stiles up and they start to walk towards his truck when Derek pauses and swiftly looks to the right.
