Stiles POV
"Derek, get your ass back here" Stiles yelled, chasing after him.
"What!, what do you want me to say, Stiles huh, that's its over fine, ITS OVER" Derek yelled back.
Tears streamed down his face, this was one of many arguments that they had had this past year. He didn't know what it was but it had been growing. It was this stifling air between them that grew each day, and he hated it and knew Derek hated it. Stiles wanted to make work and he knew that Derek did too, but there was just something that had changed between them and they had changed over the 4 years they had been together.
"I don't want it to be over and I know you don't either" Stiles whispered.
Derek walked closer to him, and wiped away his tears "I don't know what to do about it, Stiles, I love you, I will always love you but if we keeping going on like this, we're going to end up hating each other and I can't do that, I can't hate you"
Stiles sniffled and grabbed his hand tightly "So what, the answer is breaking up, leaving each other?"
Derek looked away, he didn't want to see Stiles like this, sad and broken but he knew that they needed to. "Yes, I think we should see other people"
Stiles dropped Derek's hand. He knew that there was no changing Derek's mind, he was stubborn that way. He chuckled and it wasn't the happy one that he was used to, it was a sad, dead type of chuckle, where you laugh at the irony of something horrible happening to you.
"Okay if thats what you want" He said.
Derek sighed "Stiles, it's not what I want but we both know it's the right thing to do for now"
Stiles nodded and wiped away the remaining tears from his face, he didn't response to what Derek said last just walked to the door and opened it.
He turned around to see Derek one last time "I love you". He didn't wait for Derek's reply but he caught it before he closed the door.
"I love you too, Stiles"

That was a month ago.
Stiles threw clothes around, frustrated that he couldn't find his phone. "Dammit, where the hell is that thing" He threw his covers on the ground. He looked under his games, in the closet and dresser.
After looking for an hour and finding nothing he finally gave up. He plopped down his bed defeated "Where did I put it" He asked himself.
"Hey Stiles, why is your phone in the bathroom?"
He looked up to see his baby brother, Isaac, standing in the doorway holding his phone. He quickly got up and grabbed the phone "Thank you, so much, I've been looking for this everywhere"
"I can see" Isaac said smirking, while examining the chaotic state, Stiles had left his room in while looking for it. He hurriedly pushed him out of the doorway and into the hallway "Okay, no more judging on how my room looks, at the end of the day I'm much more organized than you are, so…there"
Isaac chuckled "That was a nice, come back, big bro". He patted Stiles on the back and walked into the kitchen. Stiles smelled the breakfast and immediately ran after him, "Wait you cooked?"
When he went into the kitchen, he found Isaac standing by the counter with a skillet of ham and eggs already on two paper plates. "Yeah, I figured it would be a thank you breakfast you know, for letting me stay here while I go to school"
"Dude, your family and I really know you didn't want to live with Dad while in college, I mean you may not be able to move on campus but that still doesn't mean you can't move out" He rubbed Isaac's fluffy hair and snatched a piece of ham from the skillet.
Since Stiles had gotten the new apartment and it was close to NYU, he invited Isaac to live with, he knew living with his Dad was hard enough with all his rules.
They sat down and started to eat breakfast in comfortable silence. Stiles looking through his new phone for messages while Isaac ate, "So…umm this wasn't just a thank you breakfast, I have something to tell you"
Stiles immediately froze, wary of what news Isaac was about to reveal. "Is this potentially bad news, or news that is good and the delivery is totally horrible, please say it's horrible delivery one"
Isaac looked apprehensive for a moment, not wanting to tell Stiles what had happened "My Dad called last night and we talked" Isaac whispered.
Stiles calmly put down the phone not wanting to destroy it in anger if he knew where this conversation was going. "What did he say?"
Isaac looked more nervous with every passing second "He…uh…said that he was trying to change and that he wanted to see me, to talk you know?"
Stiles took a deep breath, the thought of the man who used to be Isaac's father filled him with rage. He and Isaac weren't related by blood but by law. He had know Isaac since he was little, and they were always with each other, over the years Stiles had seen some of the bruises that Isaac would have when they played, so he told his Dad, who was a detective at the time. Next thing you know is Isaac's Dad is getting arrested and Isaac was moving into their house. Turns out that bruise came from him beating Isaac and when his Dad found out he got custody of him and he's been with them every since.
It took Isaac a long time to recover from that asshole. He didn't like that he was trying to get into contact with Isaac now when he was finally moving on, going to college and being happy.
Stiles nodded "Ok, umm, I'll go with you then" Isaac looked up, his eyes lighting up with happiness "really, you mean, we can meet him?"
Stiles winced at the happiness in his voice, he was only going to make sure Isaac was safe, he wasn't sure that had completely turned over a new leaf. "Yeah, now get your stuff, you got to get class and I don't want to be late for work."
Isaac jumped up and hugged him "Thank you so, much". Stiles groaned, Isaac was a powerful hugger and he always tried to avoid them, they always left him aching. He patted Isaac on the back "Yeah, Yeah, now hurry up and go"
Isaac left go of him and ran to his room.
He picked his phone, immediately going to his contacts. He waited while it ringed.
"Hello?"
"Hey Dad, how come you didn't tell me Lahey got out, he called Isaac saying he wanted to meet, you're a Police Captain of New York for Christ sakes" Stiles whispered furiously.
His Dad sighed "I just found out today, look just tell me when and where your meeting, I'll be there"
Stiles let out a breath of annoyance "fine, I will"
"How is he doing?"
"He's just happy that I'm going with him at the moment" Stiles replied.
"Okay, just keep me updated and Stiles?"
"Yeah ?" He was hesitant about what his Dad might say.
"Good looking out for you brother" he said then there was audible click signaling that he had ended the call.

Stiles parked the car and turned off the radio, anticipating the angst that Isaac was about to release onto him.
"Why did you do that I wasn't done with the song?" Isaac yelled.
Stiles didn't answer just got off the car waiting for Isaac. Isaac finally got out, throwing his bag over his shoulder "Well?"
"We're here if you have noticed, and I'm walking you to class" Stiles replied.
The look on Isaac's face was priceless, his mouth hung open and his baby brown eyes showed both surprise and embarrassment "Dude, I'm not a child"
Stiles nodded, knowing his was going to ignore Isaac's protest "Yeah I know, doesn't mean I can't do the big brother thing and still embarrass you"
Stiles walked ahead while Isaac grumbled his displeasure at the situation behind him. Stiles knew where he was going, he had picked up Isaac up from class before and he had already graduated from NYU, he had gotten his bachelor's in Web design and he gotten a pretty good job, one that he was currently late for.
He turned around to make sure Isaac hadn't ditched him. Before he could completely turn, he felt himself hit something and came tumbling down.
"Stiles, are you alright?" He heard Isaac say.
Stiles groaned, his limbs aching from the fall.
"Hey dude, are you ok?" He heard a voice say. He opened his eyes to see the prettiest smile since ever. The guy had tan skin and a uneven jaw. His eyes were the warmest brown that he had ever seen. The guy was just downright gorgeous.
"I…umm…I'm ok, yeah, completely fine, I have no bruises and I can't feel any other bodily injures for know, anyways" Stiles replied, embarrassed that he was speechless at the sight of the guy.
He felt himself being pulled up by Isaac. He stood upright and dusted himself off, then turned to a Isaac "Hey, thanks I'll take it from here, you just get to class".
Isaac looked hesitant and suspicious for a second, but then he saw Stiles expression, knowing the expression from the many time Stiles gave it to him. "Okay, see ya" He ran off leaving Stiles standing among a ton of books laying on the ground.
He turned around softly smiling at the gorgeous tan guy and helped him pick up his book. He noticed that many of them were about biology and animal species. "This is an odd assortment of books that you have" Stiles said.
The guy gave him the cutest smile that made him doubt that even Isaac could steal his attention away from him. "Oh yeah, I'm studying to be a veterinarian, so that's why I have all the books." Stiles handed him the rest of the books and stood up.
When he did he was finally able to get a good look at the guy, he had a dark green beanie covering his head and a black sweater that showed off his muscular physique and a black jeans.
"Thanks for helping me" the guy said.
"Oh, well let me walk you to class at least?" Stiles asked.
The guy looked hesitant at first, but then he gently smiled and nodded his head "So, I guess I should tell you my name…it's Scott."
'Scott', Stiles thought it seemed perfect for him, the perfect name it describe someone who could be both hot and cute at the same time. Scott looked at him expectantly and Stiles had to shake thoughts out of his head, he had forgotten to tell him his own name. "Oh, yeah my name…my name is Stiles, Stiles Stilinski". They started walking through the fields to another stone building.
Scott laughed, and it was beautiful, a soft laugh that couldn't be forgotten. "Nice to meet you, Stiles, so what classes are you taking?"
Scott that he was a student and it funny because he used to be year ago, before he graduated and went off to live with Derek and start his job that took a multitude of internships to get it. "I'm not a student anymore, I graduated already…from here about a year ago, got my degree in web design, I was dropping of my little brother"
"Really? you seem so…young" Scott said.
"I'm only 21" Stiles chuckled. He knew he looked young with his soft face and the moles that many people seemed to admire.
Scott was about to reply when he looked around, seeing the door to his classroom. "Well, here's my class" he said shyly.
Stiles didn't want to let him get away, he didn't want to end to his talk with him and it seemed that Scott didn't either, he didn't go into his class yet.
"Well, let me see your phone?" Stiles asked, Scott hurriedly pulled out his phone and handed it to him. Stiles quickly entered his number and texted himself, so that he had his. He handed the phone back to him.
"I put my number in there and I have yours, so you can you call me and we can…get coffee or something" Stiles said hesitantly.
"I'll think I'll skip on the coffee" Scott said, while smiling. Stiles was saddened to hear that, he thought they had something, he was the first guy that he was interested in since Derek.
"Oh, ok I'm sorry for bothering you then" Stiles said embarrassed at what he did.
Scott looked at him ,still smiling "but I am interested in the something" he said shyly.
Stiles smiled back at him, happy that he wasn't being rejected. "Oh, ok great, good, awesome, I'll just call you or you can call me or…whatever".
"Ok" Scott replied, still giving Stiles the cutest smile ever.
"Ok, so I'm just going to go" Stiles said quickly turning away and leaving. When he was far enough away to where Scott wouldn't see him, he did a fist pump, happy at his recent conquest.
