Chapter 26
What Did He Do To You?
Derek laid in bed beside Stiles, the beautiful witch slept soundly as Derek stared at the sealing. His mind reminding him of everything he and Stiles had been through even the trust they both had shared, his mind took him to the other night where Stiles topped him. He became aroused but it also made him feel sick. Derek sat up unable to accept it, so he grabbed his pillow and moved to the couch in the living room. It took him a few minutes before falling asleep but in those few moments he wished he had never fallen for Stiles.
Stiles awoke alone and Derek's pillow missing, Stiles swallowed hard as he wondered where Derek went through the night. He was hoping that he just couldn't sleep, but then, why did he take his pillow? Stiles walked into the nursery his kids still sound asleep, so he took the baby monitor and walked out of their room into the hall way.
He made his way down the stairs noticing Derek asleep on the couch with his pillow. Stiles tried to understand, by telling himself that he just needed some space, but all he heard was a voice telling him that his dream was coming true. Stiles shook his head not wanting it to be true, and walked towards the kitchen to distract himself.
Stiles was sitting at the island in the kitchen with a bowl of cereal before Erica came down the stairs.
"Hey batman, how's it going?" She asked grabbing a coffee mug from the dish rack.
"Good, how about you how was your date with Boyd?" Stiles asked.
"Oh it was great, we went to the movies like a normal couple and no one tried to kill us." Erica said pouring coffee into her mug from the coffee pot.
"Yeah, it's nice when we get breaks from the bad guys." Stiles said staring into his cereal.
"You look kind of down, something bothering you?" She asked before taking a sip of her hot beverage.
Stiles thought for a moment, "I'm sure it's nothing." He said with a fake smile.
"Okay, but if it turns into something you can talk to me, okay?" Erica said returning the smile.
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." Stiles said watching her take a magazine from the counter and walk over to the dining table with her coffee.
Stiles stood from his seat, abandoning his unfinished cereal. He made his way into the living room where Derek lay asleep on the couch.
Stiles placed his hand on Derek's cheek, "Derek?" Stiles whispered.
Derek's eyes fluttered open, seeing Stiles sitting in front of him.
"Hey, what are you doing on the couch?" He asked.
"I, I couldn't sleep so I came down here." Derek said with a forced smile.
"Oh, okay." Stiles said trying to kiss Derek on the lips but was rejected by Derek sitting up quickly.
"I uh, need to go out." Derek said standing and putting his feet into his shoes before grabbing his coat and headed for the door.
Stiles stared at the floor as the front door opened then slammed shut.
"Did you guys have a fight?" Erica asked walking into the living room.
"No, he's been acting different ever since the other day." Stiles said standing to his feet.
"Is this the nothing you were talking about?" The blonde werewolf asked.
"Yeah, maybe he just needs some time." Stiles said looking at Erica as she nodded in agreement.
Derek drove through the streets of Beacon Hills before pulling into the hotel that the coven were staying at.
He killed the engine and exited his Camero and walked up to the hotel room and knocked.
The door quickly opened, the black haired girl opened the door.
"Um hi?" She said confused but allowed him in.
"Derek is Stiles okay?" Brien said jumping from his bed with Madison, who quickly closed his book to hear what was up.
"Stiles is fine." Derek said.
"Are you okay?" Brien asked walking towards him.
"What, ya of course." Derek lied.
"Really then why are you scared?" Lilith asked.
"I'm not scared- okay I'm a little scared." Derek said stroking his hand through his black hair. "I know what the Cryix did to me." Derek said slumping down in the chair beside the couch.
"What did he do to you?" Madison asked.
"He took my feelings for Stiles. I look at him and feel nothing for him, he tried to kiss me and it almost made me sick." Derek said, "I remember loving him and wanting him but now it's like a horror story, I've forgotten how, it's like he's a stranger and I just want to hit him every time he looks at me that certain way, like I'm his boyfriend."
"You kind of are though." Lilith said,
"Ya well the thought of me and him, makes me want to puke. I can't hide it any longer I need you guys to fix me." Derek said.
"We can't fix it." Caleb said walking out from the bathroom, only wearing a white towel around his waist, and his hair wet.
"This curse is permanent, only the caster has the ability to break this type of spell." Caleb said with sadness in his yes.
"But there has to be something you can do!" Derek yelled.
"We can look into it, ask our contacts about it, see if their is something we can do." Caleb said grabbing fresh cloths from his bag.
"Okay, thank you." Derek said before leaving the hotel room.
"Brien, call your mother and ask her if there is anything we can do, even if it's not a permanent fix. If Stiles finds out it will kill him." Caleb said walking back to the bathroom to change.
Stiles sat in the living room on the floor watching his son and daughter play together, Jackson and Erica sat with him watching Eli and Carina play with their assorted toys. Jackson was watching Stiles, his face looked worried. He couldn't help but watch the amber eyed witch worry about something.
"Stiles, can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Jackson asked breaking Stiles from his thoughts.
Stiles nodded before standing and fallowing the wolf down the hall.
Erica watched them leave the room before handing Elijah a small blue bear.
"What's going on with you, you look as though someone ran over your favourite pet." Jackson said as Stiles looked out the sliding door at the forest around them.
"I- I have a bad feeling." Stiles said glancing at Jackson.
"What kind of bad feeling."
"I can't place it, I just have a bad feeling."
"Derek wouldn't let anything bad happen to you or Elijah or Carina. He loves you, a lot." Jackson said placing his hand on Stiles' shoulder.
"Yeah, your right." Stiles smiled forgetting that he still cares about Eli and Carina.
"So stop worrying so much, okay!"
"Okay." Stiles said as Jackson smiled at him.
"Derek, what did you want to talk to me about?" Scott said walking out of the animal clinic after his shift.
"I know what the Cryix did. I thought he just wanted to scare us, but he took something from me." Derek said his eyes sad and worried.
"What! What did he take?" Scott asked concerned.
"H-he took my feelings for Stiles."
Scott's mouth dropped unable to comprehend what Derek was saying.
"I don't know what to do, I'm supposed to care about him but I just don't anymore."
"This can't be happening!" Scott said turning away from Derek with fear in his voice.
"I know that, but I can't keep pretending every things okay."
"How could this be real?" Scott said with anger in his voice, "this is all apart of the Cryix's plan to break you and Stiles up so he will go to the Cryix. Losing you is Stiles' biggest fear. He dreamed of this happening!" Scott said raising his voice.
"What and he didn't tell me?" Derek asked surprised.
"You can't let him know that the Cryix did this. He would die!" Scott said.
"Well what do we do?"
"Stiles' cousins?"
"Ya I've already been to see them, they said they would try and help, but that it can only be permanently undone by the caster." Derek said.
"Okay so in the mean time you have to act like you still love him, even if your every fiber is telling you other wise. If he find out the truth, I don't think an apology is going to bring him back. Derek this is really bad." Scott said rubbing his head.
"I know that, just what if he wants to... you know. Because the thought of it kind of doesn't roll well with me, I'd rather punch him in the face." Derek said with a disgusted expression.
"Tell him, you don't feel in the mood, or that your not feeling well because of the Cryix." Scott said.
"We don't get sick. And he knows that."
"So pretend your cell is ringing or have his dad visit for a few days." Scott said giving him reasons to stop Derek from having sex with Stiles.
"Ya that might work." Derek said thinking about it.
Derek walked through the door as Stiles sat at his computer in the study.
"Hey." Derek said walking up to the open door.
"Hey, where did you disappear to?" Stiles asked.
"I uh just needed some time to think." Derek said watching Stiles put his laptop to sleep.
"Yeah, about what?" Stiles asked turning in his computer chair towards Derek.
"About what the Cryix might have done if Scott hadn't shown up. I was scared, because he could have killed me. The thought of leaving you alone to raise Elijah and Carina on you own without me. I just wanted to make sure you would be okay without me. So I wrote a will so that you and the pups would be well off." Derek said not totally lying to Stiles.
Stiles sighed like a weight had been lifted, "Nothing is going to happen to us, were not going to lose you." Stiles said with a smiled as he stood from his chair and walked towards Derek.
Derek watched Stiles come closer to him trying to hold himself from stepping away from the young teen.
"I love you Derek." Stiles said wrapping his arms around the older wolfs waist, laying his head on Derek's chest.
Derek hesitantly lifted his hands to Stiles' back, swallowing hard since all he wanted to do was push Stiles away from him.
Stiles smiled into Derek's chest before the embrace ended suddenly Derek grabbed Stiles by the shoulders and pulled him away from his body.
Stiles looked at him surprised and from the wolfs rejection.
"Derek?" Stiles asked confused.
"I uh want to go check on the kids." Derek said releasing Stiles and turning away from him quite suddenly.
Stiles watched him walk away from him, Derek's green eyes looked distant like he was a stranger.
Stiles felt a lump form in his throat as tears began to swell in his eyes, the voice in his head yelling at him.
