"Stiles, what are you doing?" Derek asks, looking up at his mate who is currently in the attic, looking for something, "Stiles?" he asks again, getting slightly worried, he climbs up the ladder and looks around, to see Stiles sitting on the floor, flicking through a photo album, "you okay Sty?" he asks, Stiles looks up and sniffs,
"y- yeah, i'm okay..ju...just found some old photo albums." he says quietly. Derek walks over the various boxes and sits next to Stiles, who rests his head on Derek's shoulder, Derek kisses his temple before looking down at the picture,
"you were a cute kid." he notes, Stiles smiles,
"hmm." he hums, then turns a page to him as a four year old with a woman,
"it obviously runs in the family." Derek says,
"what?" Stiles asks,
"your mother was beautiful." he says,
"i know." Stiles sighs,
"you look alot like her you know, same nose, you both have moles, but your eyes, god Stiles, your eyes are amazing, the're chocolatey and golden and topaz and whiskey coloured all at the same time, the're mesmerizing." he breaths,
"you can talk, i have no idea what colour your eyes actually are." Stiles scoffs,
"i'm serious, you're beautiful Stiles." he kisses the top of Stiles' head.
"thank you."
"i'm just telling the truth."
"i mean for everything, you have always been there for me."
"and i always will baby, i love you."
"love you too." Stiles whispers, before putting the albums away and wiping his eyes, "i was looking for christmas cards, my dad said they were up here, i found these." he shrugs,
"come on then, let's find those cards." Derek says, standing up and pulling Stiles up onto his feet, "where have you looked?" he asks,
"everywhere." Stiles says,
"you said that about the advent calender." Derek smirks,
"well these cards aren't hidden."
"did you check the box over there?" Derek asks,
"you mean the box with the words 'christmas stuff' written on?" Stiles asks,
"yes, did you?" he asks, Stiles looks down and mutters something even Derek can't hear,
"what was that baby?" he asks, putting his hands on Stiles' hips, pulling him closer, Stiles looks up at him,
"no, i didn't look." Stiles says, Derek kisses his nose,
"you're so adorable." he chuckles. They open the box and find all the decorations, wrapping paper, and cards, "you're not very good at looking are you?" Derek asks,
"well you're not very good at looking ugly." Stiles retorts,
"did you just compliment me, i'm not entirely sure." Derek says, Stiles smirks and wraps his arms around Derek's neck,
"i love you." he grins,
"i love you." Derek places his hands on Stiles' hips and brings him closer before kissing him. after a while they break away for air, "come on, let's get these downstairs." Derek whispers, picking the cards up and climbing down the ladder. they go to the living room and Stiles pulls out the first card, two squirells on a branch with a love heart above their heads,
"i'm thinking that one for Scott and Allison." Derek says and sits on the sofa, Stiles chuckles and shuffles closer, Derek wraps his arm around Stiles' waist and pulls him onto his lap, "come on little red, let's get these cards done." he says,
"sure thing my big bad sourwolf." Stiles retorts. they get into the card writing mode, signing the card each, because that's a thing for them now. Half an hour later, Stiles pulls over his laptop,
"Sty, don't get sidetracked." Derek mumbles into his shoulder,
"i'm not, my grandparents and uncle and aunt have been talking to my dad, who told them about you, and they are constantly ringing because they want to know what you look like, so christmas card seems to be best place to put one." Stiles explains, "if you don't mind that is." he says, Derek nuzzles his nose into Stiles' neck,
"i don't mind." he whispers,
"okay, well, i'm using this one." Derek looks up to see Stiles clicking on a photo of the two of them that Lydia took at a pack meeting once, "you're smiling." he adds,
"that's because i was smiling at you."
"so cheesy." Stiles scoffs,
"you love it." Derek says,
"yeah, yeah i do." Stiles grins and turns his head to kiss Derek lightly before printing off the pictures and putting them in the cards.
"all done then?" Derek asks,
"all done." Stiles says,
"good, i'm taking you out."
