A few days have passed and Stiles hasn't spoken to his dad. He had feared that something like this would happen and now that it is he couldn't believe it. He had always thought that he and his dad could get through anything. He has spent the last hour leaning against Derek's headboard, staring off into space. Barely moving when Derek sat next to him. "He hates me now." He whispered.
Derek sighed, reached over and took Stiles hand. "He doesn't hate you Stiles."
"He won't talk to me." Stiles said. "He barely even looks at me and every time I try and talk to him he makes up an excuse to get away from me." He used his other hand to wipe his face.
"Stiles look at me." Derek said. "He's your dad and he's going to see past this. I'm not saying that he's going to magically welcome me into his life but he will do anything not to lose you."
Stiles rested his head on Derek's shoulder. "I just wish he would talk to me again."
Derek sighed. "I know."
Jackson's house
Jackson was in his room on his lab top when some one knocked on his door. "Come in dad." He said not turning around.
The door opened and someone walked in. "It's me."
Jackson turned around to find Danny standing in his door way. "Danny?"
"Your dad let me in." Danny said. "I was wondering if we could talk for a minute."
Jackson sighed. "Sure."
Danny walked over at sat on the edge of Jackson's bed. "I wanted to apoligise for what happened. For accusing you of-"
"It's not a big deal." Jackson said. "I understand why you woyld think that I would do something like that, considering how I use to be, I think I overreacted. I like you Danny and I haven't even thought of another guy in that time I was with you. Even now you're the only one who's constantly on my mind."
Danny smiled. "Me too."
Jackson got up from his computer and sat next to Danny on the bed. "So I told my dad a lot of stuff about you."
"I know." Danny said. "Before I came up here we talked for a bit. He's a pretty cool guy."
"Yeah that's what everyone says when they meet him." Jackson said. "He's overprotective and all but I love him for it."
Danny looked down. "Listen he also told me what happened to you, I'm sorry."
Jackson sighed. "That was years ago and I'm past that now but thanks."
"So does that mean you forgive me?" Danny asked.
Jackson leans over and kisses Danny. "Hey I'm sorry about Isaac. I really thought he got the picture that I wasn't intrested in him."
Danny sighed. "So where do you and I go from here?"
"What are you doing tomorrow after school?" Jackson asked.
"Nothing." Danny said.
"Well maybe the two of us can hang out sometime." Jackson said.
Danny nodded. "That sounds good."
...
Stiles was half asleep when his phone rang. Pulling out he saw that it was Jackson. "Hey."
"Are you okay?" Jackson asked. "I heard that you came clean about Derek. How is your dad taking the news?"
"He reacted the way I thought he would." Stiles said. "He doesn't want me with Derek."
"Sorry." Jackson said.
"What's going on with you? Stiles asked.
"Danny came over and we kind of made up." Jackson said. "Would you believe if I told you that they are downstairs talking up a storm about me. I know my dad is just getting to know everything he can about Danny."
"Well that's good." Stiles said. "I'm happy for you guys."
"Everything is going to work out with your dad." Jackson said. "He's just trying to digest the news but he'll come around."
"Thanks." Stiles said.
"So where are you now?" Jackson asked.
"I'm lying in Derek's bedroom staring at the ceiling." Stiles said. "Derek is downstairs so I'm up here alone." He sighed. "It's so awkward between us now. I now eat in my room because sitting across from him is the worst thing ever."
"It will get better Stiles." Jackson said. "I guess Derek is harder to accept them we thought."
Stiles looked toward the door when Derek walked back in. "Hey I have to go but I'll call you later."
"Alright." Jackson said.
Stiles hung up his phone and sat it on the dresser.
"Everything okay." Derek asked.
"Oh yeah." Stiles said sitting up. "That was Jackson, I don't know how but he found out about me telling my dad. Maybe Jackson's dad told him what was going on, he was just seeing if I was okay."
Derek sat next to Stiles and handed a plate. "So are you going to try and talk to your dad again?"
"I've been trying for days." Stiles said. "But I'm going to keep trying."
...
When Stiles got home later that night the house was quiet. He knew his dad was home because his car was in the drive way so he went up to his room. Standing outside his dad's bedroom he couldn't bring himself to knock on the door. He started to back away but stopped and knocked on the door. "Dad, are you in there?" There was no answer so he opened the door and walk in. He saw his dad sitting on his bed. "Are you going to keep ignoring me dad?"
Mr. Stilinski sighed. "I'm not ignoring you Stiles."
"Dad my whole life I've done what you've asked of me." Stiles said. "Danny is my best friend and you won't let me see him. I'm in high school now dad and I don't need you doing everything for me. I have friends and I really like Derek. If you give him a chance I know that you'll like him."
"Why did you lie to me?" Mr. Stilinski asked.
"Because I knew that you wouldn't let me see Derek." Stiles said. "I knew that in your eyes you would see him as just another bum from the streets but he's not. He's a good guy and I really like him. Can you just be happy for me because I'm finally making a decision for myself. I love you dad but we can't go on like this, something has to change."
"You mean me?" Mr. Stilinski asked getting up.
"No." Stiles said. "I mean how you treat me. I'm not a kid anymore dad. If I make mistakes then let me make them so I can learn from me."
"I don't want to lose you Stiles." Mr. Stilinski said.
"Where am I going?" Stiles said. "I'm still going to be here with you. I just want to live like a normal kid. I missed out on my whole childhood because the way you treated me. I don't want to miss the rest of my life as well."
Mr. Stilinski sighed. "Okay maybe I've been a little crazy but I just don't want you to get hurt."
"Even I do someday I'll be okay with that." Stiles said. "Because I know that you'll be there for me."
"Okay you made your point." Mr. Stilinski said. "I'm sorry and I'll let you make your own choices from now on."
Stiles sighed. "And I'm sorry for lying to you, it won't happen again."
Mr. Stilinski nodded. "So why don't you tell me more about this Derek?"
