Chapter 21: Stiles POV

It had been an hour since Derek had passed and I was waiting for him downstairs. He told me to wear my favorite clothes, but I adjusted them slightly. I still wore my favorite batman shirt and jeans but wore a dress shirt on top as to make the outfit a bit more classy. I heard the doorbell ring and prepared myself to leave. When I opened the door I saw Derek in all his glory. He was wearing black jeans that fit just right, a black fitted v-neck, and his leather jacket.

"Wow," he said, "you look amazing Stiles. But you always look amazing."

"That's a lie. I definitely don't look amazing all the time, just most of it. You look pretty damn fine yourself." With that he grabbed my hand and led me to his car. Once inside my curiosity got the better of me. "So what are we doing tonight."

"A trip down memory lane."

"Ok, where to first."

"You'll see." We sat quietly while he drove, not stopping until we arrived at his place. When I got out of the car I thought we would head inside, but he led me toward the forest. "We're not going to my place, well not yet." He said raising an eyebrow.

"Not yet." I said winking, allowing my mind to get distracted by what may be happening later tonight. We hadn't done anything more than kiss since I was saved and boy have I wanted to.

"Stiles, stop zoning out and focus."

"Sorry. Where are we going?"

"Right here." He said stopping. I was confused until I realized where we were.

"This is where you and I first met."

"Yea, this is where I found you when Scott lost his inhaler. I remember thinking at the time that you and him were two annoying teenagers, and I was upset that I was going to be stuck with you because of the alpha."

"Hey, you were pretty scary yourself back then. Being all moody and 'this is private property.'" I teased him. We had definitely come a long way since then.

"It feels ridiculous to think that I used to find you annoying. I still do," he teased, "but now its something that I love about you." He leaned towards me and placed his lips on mine. I tried to make it deeper but he pulled away. "We still have a lot of stops."

"Ok, where to next?"

We headed back to the car and drove off, arriving at the vet's office. We didn't go inside, we chose to remain in his car. He turned to me. "This is where you saved my life the first time. I know I was horrible to you and threatened to kill you many times that night, but I am grateful for what you did. What you were willing to do."

"It's never a problem for me. I'll always be there to save you, just like you'll be able to save me." We kissed again until he broke away. "Next stop?"

We drove off arriving at the school. "What memory are we talking about here? There are so many."

"The night of the pool incident. You held me up for two hours, nearly killing yourself in the process. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have survived."

"Me saving you again. I'm seeing a pattern."

"Oh shut up and kiss me." He joked. We kissed and he pulled away as usual. Driving off until our next destination. We stopped at the warehouse that one of our battles happened, the one that I got severely injured at.

"This is where I realized I loved you. The first time I realized that without you in my life, I don't want to imagine that. I hate that I had to come to that realization because you were injured. I wish I could say that I realized it while were together, being a normal couple. But that is not how our lives worked out."

"The thing that mattered is that you realized your feelings. I knew about my feelings for a while before this night. That's part of the reason why I showed up. I never imagined you would ever share those feelings, but I'm glad you did." I leaned in for a kiss, surprised when this one went deeper than the rest. I guess the emotions from this place were getting to Derek. But just like the rest, he pulled away.

"We have one more stop." He turned and began to drive. Many destinations arose in my mind, but none seemed special enough. I kept wondering why Derek would go through all of this. I guess he was thinking about how our lives came to be together, but what was so important about tonight.

We finally stopped at his place. "Is it time for us to have some fun now?" I said walking towards him.

"Not yet, this is actually a stop on our tour tonight. Come inside." I walked through the front door and saw the place was decorated all in white. There were white sheets on the furniture, white candles on the table and white flowers everywhere.

"Derek? What is going on?" He led me to the living room and turned to me.

"This isn't somewhere I look at for past memories. This is where I look for our future memories. This is where I want us to live together, for us to start a family, for us to be together for the rest of our lives. I don't know why it took me so long to find you, but I'm glad I did. I love you so much Stiles. The past week has shown me that I cannot survive without you. I hate that our story is filled with struggle and pain, but I want our future to be filled with love and happiness." He lowered down on one knee in front of me. "Stiles, will you please marry me?"

I froze. I couldn't believe what was going on. I mean I was happy but I never thought Derek would be here in front of me asking me to marry him. He never seemed like the type. I know that I love him and I can't live without him, so I why am I even thinking about this. "Yes."

He seemed to be in shock like me. "What did you say?"

"Yes, I will marry you." He jumped up and attacked me with kisses. We were both so happy. He slipped the ring on my finger and I noticed that there was a second one in the box. "Why do you have two rings?"

"It didn't seem fair that you would be the only one to have an engagement ring. We're both equals in this relationship so we should both have a ring."

"Give that to me." He handed me the ring. "My turn. Derek Hale, when we first met you scared the crap out of me, and you still do. But I love you more today than I ever have in the past. You told me tonight about all the times I have saved you, but you've saved me just as many. I can't imagine living one day without you. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?"

He smiled largely, and answered "Yes." I placed the ring upon his finger and kissed him slowly but passionately.

"You know this means you're stuck with me right?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

oooooooooo

Author's note: I was thinking about making this the end and writing a sequel that talks about their wedding plans and then their future together. I feel like this is a good place to stop this story. I'm very thankful for everyone who has read this story, especially to those that have reviewed it. This story was fun to write, and I'm looking forward to writing my next one. Keep an eye out for it.
