A few days later
Danny was walking through the hospital heading to see Stiles. He saw Scott's mom and went over to her. "Miss McCall?"
"Hey Danny." Melissa replied. "Are you here to see Stiles?"
Danny nodded and looked around because he could still feel people staring at him. "Why do they keep staring at me?"
"Probably because the last time you were in the hospital you were in the morgue." Melissa says. "You were pronounced dead and your body went missing. Scott filled me in on everything that happened, how are you doing?"
"Better." Danny says. "Now that all of this is over my dad and I finally picked a date for my mom's funeral. I just can't believe she's really gone."
"I'm sorry." Melissa replies.
Danny smiles. "Thanks, so how is Stiles doing?"
"He's doing a lot better then when he was first brought in." Melissa says. "He did hit his head pretty hard so we have to keep an eye on that. Other than that were sure he'll make a full recovery."
"That's good." Danny said. "When I heard what happened to him I didn't think he was going to make it, thank god he had you there with him." After talking with Melissa he headed to Stiles room. Pushing the door open he just stared at him. "Hey Stilinski."
"Danny?" Said Stiles. He was still wearing the neck brace so he couldn't move. "I was wondering if you were going to come and see me."
Danny chuckled and walked over to the bed. "How are you holding up?"
"Okay I guess but I wish they would take this thing off my neck." Stiles said.
"I'm just glad that you're okay." Danny says. "When I heard that you were in the hospital I thought the worst."
"I thought I was a goner when he threw me out that fourth floor window." Stiles says. "Is Ethan okay?"
"Yeah he's okay." Derek says. "I think Derek let him crash at his place until Ethan can find his own place."
"Well that was nice of him." Stiles said.
"We owe Derek a lot." Danny says. "I mean if it wasn't for him and the others I wouldn't be here and neither would Ethan. He didn't have to help us but he did."
...
Ethan was sitting on the extra bed in Derek's loft rubbing the back of his neck. The same bed that Danny laid when he was dead and that's all he could think about. He looked down at the blood stain that was dried up and could almost picture himself holding Danny in his arms as he died. Hearing a voice he snapped back into reality. "You scared me." He said looking up at Derek.
"Sorry." Derek says. "Are you alright?" Ethan nodded. "I have an extra mattress if you don't want that one."
"Thanks, this one has too many bad memories." Ethan helped Derek remove the old mattress and they brought in another one. "Thanks again for not walking away from them when it all seemed hopeless."
"Stop apologizing Ethan." Derek says. "Besides all that is in the past now so lets focus on the future. who knows maybe we can finally have a normal life."
Ethan smiled. "I doubt that but it does sound good. Are you going to see Stiles today?"
Derek nodded. "I was going to wait until later but Melissa called and told me that Stiles wanted to see me."
"Is he still in pain when he moves?" Ethan asks.
"Yeah but it's not as bad as when they brought him in." Derek says.
"Can I ask you a question?" Ethan asks and Derek nods. "If you thought he was going to die why didn't you give him the bite?"
"Have you seen our lives lately, I didn't want to bring him into this hell." Derek says. "Even though I was terrified that he wasn't going to make it a part of me knew that he was going to be okay. If I had no other choice I would have done it in a heartbeat. He's going to be okay and that's all that matters."
...
Danny was flipping through the TV channels when the door opened and Ethan walked in with Derek. "Hey guys."
"Danny?" Derek says. "Um can you guys give me a minute with Stiles?"
"Sure?" Danny got up and left the room with Ethan. "Are you okay?" He asked once they were outside.
"Yeah it's just something that Derek says." Ethan replies. The two of them went to the waiting room.
"What did he say?" Danny asked once they were seated.
"I asked him why he didn't give Stiles the bite and he said that he didn't want to bring him into this troubled lifestyle. Just because Deucalion is dead doesn't mean we're out of the woods. There are still many threats out there and we'll always have the fear that someone I'd watching us. You have to be even more carefully now because I don't want to lose you again."
"I know it's not going to be easy and I still have things to get use to somethings but I'm willing to do anything." Danny says. "I love you and no matter what I'll be here with you." He smiled when Ethan leans over and kisses him. "We'll be okay."
Ethan takes Danny's hand. "Yeah and I love you too."
...
"So did Melissa tell you when you're going to be able to get out of here?" Derek asked pulling up a chair and sitting next to the bed.
"She said that it could be for a while." Stiles says. "She's still worried about my head though. I've been having a lit of headaches since I woke up but she said that was normal and it would go away. I feel so uncomfortable lying here all day everyday."
Derek sighed. "I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. I hate seeing you in so much pain like this."
"It's not your fault." Stiles says. "I'm the one who went behind your back and almost got myself killed. I just couldn't sit there why you were out there fighting for your life. Knowing that there was a possibility that you might not come back scared me to death."
"Seeing you get thrown from that window scared the hell out of me." Derek says. "I thought the worst had happened but even though you weren't breathing I could still hear your heart beat. Rushed you to the hospital and they saved your life. Stiles why do you want to be a werewolf so bad. There is nothing about this that is fun. All the killing, the running always looking over your shoulder because you know that you're never safe. I don't want that kind of lifestyle for you, I just want you to be safe and this is everything but safe."
"Okay I hear you." Stiles says. "I won't ask for it again, I promise."
Derek got up and looked down at Stiles. "I just don't want anything to happen to you."
Stiles smiled. "I know and I'll stop being so nosy, just be care okay."
"I will." Derek looked over at the door just as The sheriff walked. "Hey Mr. Stilinski."
"Hey how are we doing today." Mr. Stilinski.
"Board and stiff." Says Stiles. "Where have you been?"
"Cleaning up the mess that was made a few weeks ago." Mr. Stilinski said. "Their calling what happened a freak animal attack."
"Well it kind of was a freak animal attack." Says Stiles. "But it's all over now."
"Oh and by the way when you get out of the hospital you're grounded." The sheriff says.
"And I'm totally okay with that." Stiles said. "Besides when I leave here I'm never leaving my bed again." He smiled. "Hey is Danny still here?"
"I just passed by them on my way in." Mr. Stilinski says. "Danny told me to tell you that he will call you later. I also talked to Melissa and she told me that you will be able to remove your neck brace in few days but you just have to remember to take it slow."
"Oh thank god." Stiles said. "I'm so tired of staring at the ceiling."
"Once you get out of here I really need you to be more careful." Mr. Stilinski says.
"I know, Derek and I were just talking about that." Stiles said. "I'm not going to but in as I usually do. I'm going to try and stay focused on the human part of my life."
"That's good." Mr. Stilinski says. "And I'll be keeping a close eye on you as well."
"We all will." Derek said smiling.
