CHAPTER TWO: CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT

It was now Monday morning, and Stiles had last seen Derek about nine hours ago and he was already missing the Alpha werewolf. He missed the sweet touch of his skin, how the Alpha would caress his own skin, and the gentle brushing of their lips when kissing. These thoughts would be the death of him, but if that were the case then he happily welcomed death though he still hoped it wouldn't come for him anytime soon.

He was still flooded with questions about the Wendigo, but at the moment most of his thoughts were about Derek. He wanted to be with the Alpha instead of going back to school for the week, but he knew Derek wouldn't allow him to skip school just to be with him so he would go and get the day over with before returning to the Hale property in the afternoon.

Stiles met his father at the kitchen table for breakfast: a waffle and a small bottle of orange juice, the Stilinski morning special. He quickly finished up his waffle and juice before saying goodbye to his father and heading out the door and to his Jeep. He started his engine and raced to the school's parking lot hoping that somehow driving faster would speed time up for him.

He arrived and got out of his vehicle before closing the door and locking up the Jeep and walking into the school. He walked down the corridors and got to his locker before grabbing his chemistry book and walking over to meet Scott, Allison, Lydia, Jackson, and Danny in what had become their usual morning hangout spot.

Allison was still visibly upset about the whole Victoria Wendigo situation so he let her be. Lydia was still pissed that Victoria got away, Scott was still trying to console the grief-stricken Allison, and Jackson and Danny were seemingly emotionless about the entire situation. Stiles felt out of place in the pack which was unusual. He felt happy and that shocked him even. He should be completely concerned with Allison's well-being and Victoria being out there as the Wendigo, but he couldn't help himself of thinking of his happiness with Derek and only Derek.

He was fearing he was becoming co-dependent on the Alpha werewolf, but it wasn't enough to make him stop seeing him. In fact, there was nothing that would make him stop seeing Derek, only death could break them. He just at the moment realized he absolutely loved Derek and everything about him causing him to blush up and let out a smile.

"Why are you so happy?" Jackson asked the flustered ADHD teen. "Oh, nothing. It's nothing." Stiles attempted to take the attention of his happiness as he knew his friend was still reeling from the soon-to-be death of her mother. They all knew it would be coming soon, but exactly when was the only question about it.

"It's okay, Stiles. If you're happy because of Derek, you don't have to hide it because of what's going on with my mom. I never hid my happiness with Scott from you, so you shouldn't have to hide your happiness with Derek from me or any of us." Allison told him with a small smile forming on her lips. Stiles was surprised and delighted by the gesture.

"Thanks. And yes, that's why I'm happy. My dad doesn't care that I'm seeing him, everything between us is perfect. I feel like one of the giddily-excited teenage girls in the romantic comedies." Stiles told his friend with a huge smile across his lips. It seemingly broke Lydia out of her pissed off trance from the Wendigo and made her realize there were other things than being angry about something you couldn't personally control.

"Well, that's great for you!" Lydia commented out with a smile before placing her arm in Stiles. It was like she saw him being gay or bisexual as him becoming her new best friend. Though Allison didn't seem to be bothered by it as she secretly felt the same way to be honest. Allison quickly took his other arm without allowing Stiles to argue and the two girls hauled him away towards the chemistry room for their first period.

It didn't seem like it would be a long day anymore. He was happy to be with the pack who were happy to be with him. "I guess when you're gay you do get to pull all the girls." Jackson snorted out. "You sure as hell do my friend." Danny joked back as the three remaining members of the group started their way to their first period joking with each other all along the way.

They didn't notice the new principal, Gerard Argent, watching them and realizing the truth about his daughter-in-law. He was now going to have pull out a plan of action of his own to stop her. The Wendigo was going down, but how would he do it without hurting Allison? The sad part about this in his mind was he didn't actually care too much about that. He just felt the need to hunt down the creature just like Kate had always felt. The darkness of the Argents was continuing through him and he loved every second of it.
