These drabbles can be read chronologically or not. Dealer's choice. I'm writing them in a progression style but they all pretty much stand alone.
A/N: My wedding was lovely. Thank you for all the warm wishes and congratulations!
They all graduate on a sunny Saturday afternoon in June. It's hot, like most California summer days, and rather uncomfortable sitting outside in red polyester under the beating heat of the sun, but they make it through. Isaac acts like he doesn't care about the ceremony at all, even debates not going, but the pack makes him under threat of violence and when his name is called to get his diploma he's glad he did. He had no family like the rest of the kids there, but his real family is there in the crowd; the teens cheering him on in complete disregard for the seriousness of the situation.
When it's all over, he just wants to go home with Derek but has to go to Scott's instead. Melissa had insisted that they all have a graduation party to celebrate and when Melissa McCall insisted something you listened. Her son might be an Alpha, but Melissa was the boss.
Still it's nice, though it was a little crowded with everyone there; pack and their families all crammed in the McCall back yard. But it's nice. Stiles comes up to him with Scott every now and then chanting, "We did it man! We frickin' did it!" And whether he means they graduated high school or made it out alive he's not sure, but nods his head in agreement.
He chit-chats with Erica and Allison over sodas but glances back past the brunette's shoulder to Derek, who locks eyes with him from across the yard and his conversation with the Sheriff (who has come to accept and respect the older young man a little for his effort to keep the people of the town safe where he could not) and smiles. Isaac's insides quake at that but tries so very hard to keep a straight face in front of the girls. But Erica must see or smell something because the side of her mouth quirks and she looks back over her shoulder at their Alpha.
"Special night Isaac?" She asks when Allison leaves, and Isaac frowns.
"Don't you and Boyd have somewhere to be?" He snaps back but it back fires. Erica chuckles and leans in.
"We will be, later. But if you need some pointers now on how to make a man happy I could give them to you."
"I don't need pointers." Isaac hissed with a deeper frown.
"No, he doesn't." The Betas come out of there little spat when their Alpha is suddenly next to them. Derek looks to both of them, but comes back to Erica when he says, "Stop picking on Isaac and go somewhere else."
The blonde rolls her eyes and mutters, "Bloody favorite…." But smiles just the faintest when she leaves as she is told; happy that her friend and 'moody Alpha' have each other.
Isaac smiles in reprise and watches her leave, until Derek's hand comes down on his shoulder. "You ok?"
He smiles fully at the darker male and nods. "Yeah, it's just Erica." She says and Derek relaxes, even smiles a little.
They all knew Erica was the 'bitchy' sister. She picked and teased and assaulted her fellow pack mates, but God help the idiot who did it besides her. It was her way. It was her bitchiness that let you know she loved you.
"Good," Derek grunts and lets go of Isaac's shoulder unnecessarily. It wasn't like everyone here didn't know they were together. He steps a little closer, speaking quite so that only they can hear when he asks, "Want to head home?"
Isaac blinks a few times but then nods quickly, too enthusiastically judging by Derek's chuckle. They thank Melissa for the party, who bemoans their leaving along with her son, but insist they have to go and that they (or rather Isaac) will see him tomorrow.
Derek speeds no more than usual back to the loft, but Isaac wishes he would. He wipes his sweaty palms on the smooth material of his pants, looking outside and trying to still his racing heartbeat. He doesn't want Derek to think he's scared. He's not. He wants this, wants Derek, in every way possible. But….it's his first time.
When they are safe and at home in the loft Isaac rubs the back of his head and says, "So…I'm officially not a high school student anymore." But then mentally curses, as if the situation couldn't be more awkward.
But it seems to amuse Derek, relax him, and he reaches for Isaac's hand which he readily gives and lets Derek lead them up to their room; he hasn't slept on the couch since he came home from Scott's that one day.
Once in the room, and pressed against the cool sheets, the pair kiss and begin to undress each other. Shaky hands, shaky breath, and it hasn't been this much of a chore to get each other naked since the first time, but they manage.
"Are you ok?" Derek asks, pulling back from Isaac's lips and towering over him from his forearms. Isaac nods, quick and sure. But Derek doesn't seem convinced. "If you don't want to-"
"I want to." Isaac interjects, getting Derek to look at him. "I want to so much I…but I-"
"Nervous?" The Beta looks down and bites his bottom lip. He doesn't want to be, he doesn't. He wants Derek, wants this. He can't think of anyone he wants to be with. But….
The Alpha cupped the side of Isaac's face and turned it up to him. "It's ok Isaac. It's normal to be nervous, even when you want to." His thumb grazes Isaac's outstanding cheekbones, looking at it in earnest when he says, "I am."
"You?"
At the surprised question and look on Isaac's face Derek looks away. "It's…been a while." He admits and, in the dark, Isaac thinks he might see him blush before it's gone and he looks back at Isaac. "And I want to make this perfect for you."
The teen's face softens and his body relaxes into the mattress before he pulls Derek toward him for a deep kiss. "It will be," Isaac breaths against his lips when they break apart, "Because it's you."
They make love for hours; reviling in every new sensation and touch, rediscovering old ones, and just being together. When they're finally finished, boneless and sated against the sheets, Derek tells him he loves him and Isaac says it back.
I was going to make smut, but it didn't feel right. All reviews and feedback are welcome as always. I appreciate all feedback. :)
