The next day Derek was standing in the parking lot of the Beacon Hills High School, waiting for Stiles' lessons to be finally over. He was waiting for him for almost 30 minutes now but he didn't want to miss him, that's why he came earlier than necessary. Stiles didn't know he was coming, it was supposed to be a surprise. After Derek received the note he planned something special for today. His eyes wandered around the school entrance when he spotted what he was looking for. There he was, joking around with Scott. He liked seeing him this way, happy and careless, without all these supernatural problems that were floating around right now; just a normal 16 year old boy. When Stiles' eyes met Derek's they widened in surprise. He mumbled something to Scott and head off to Derek. On his way both of them didn't lose eye contact. Derek felt a warm tickling feeling in his stomach, something he always felt lately when Stiles was near him.
"I didn't expect you to come here. I like it though.", Stiles said while his lips formed a shy smile.
Unsure what to tell Stiles, Derek started to play with the zipper of his jacket. He wasn't used to situations like this, especially not with a boy. Especially not with this one special boy. After an awkward silence Derek finally found what he thought were the right words.
"To be honest, I wasn't even sure if I should come here. We couldn't finish our conversation last night so I thought that it would be nice if we continue it now."
"Here!" Stiles seemed to be a little bit confused.
"Oh no. Come on, get in the car.", Derek told Stiles while he opened up the door for him. Stiles got into the car and Derek started driving to the middle of nowhere. They arrived at a wonderful forest glade and got out of the car.
"Where exactly are we going?" , Stiles wondered.
"Just wait, you're gonna love it, trust me.", Derek promised him. His voice got really excited, like the one of a little boy who is about to get a present. After a little walk they arrived at a small waterfall. Stiles has never seen something so beautiful. He could hear the ripple of clear water and if he looked closely he saw some fish. The trees around the waterfall were huge and spent some shadows on hot days. Even the deep green leaves sputtered from energy. This was nature at its purest and Stiles loved every piece of it.
"Wow. This is a wonderful place. How did you find it?", Stiles asked in awe.
"I used to go here when I wanted to be alone. It's a good place to get a clear head, you know?" Derek walked over to the root of the waterfall and sat down. "Come here, sit next to me." Stiles did as Derek asked him to and sat closely next to him.
"It's really great that you took me here. Thank you." Stiles said while turning his head towards Derek and finding him looking directly into his eyes. For a moment nobody said anything and they both enjoyed the silence in this beautiful place.
"Look Stiles, I'm not really good at this. Talking about my feelings and stuff like that. I'm not used to this but I wanted to tell you that in the past couple of weeks I developed feelings for you. Feelings that I can't even explain. Feelings I have never felt before." Derek's hand streaked Stiles' arm until he playfully stroked his cheek. " This is all new to me and I don't know how to deal with that. Hell, I don't even know if you feel the same way about me but there is something I wanted to do for quite some time." Derek leaned over to Stiles. Their faces were so close now that they breathed the same air, their lips were only inches away. Derek could feel Stiles' hot breath against his lips. He opened his lips, ready to kiss him for the first time but he suddenly heard a noise. Both in a daze, they first didn't realize that it was Stiles' cell phone. Confused, he picked up.
"Hello? Yes, that's me." His face fell and it felt like an eternity until he spoke again. "I'm on my way." Turning to Derek he apologized "I'm sorry, I have to go."
"Why? What happened?" Derek asked worried. When Stiles said the next words he could see the hurt in his eyes.
"There was an accident. Something is wrong with my dad."
