"Okay, you can do this, you can do this. It's just one date. You're in complete control. Nothing will happen that you don't want to happen, you got this." Derek voiced to himself in the mirror as he looked his appearance over.

He took a deep breath to calm his fast heart rate and ran his hands through his slicked back hair, making sure no strains were out of place.

"Derek, you here?" Cora called out down the hall.

Derek walked out of his bedroom down to the living room to find Cora and Stiles there.

Cora was looking through a pile of her brother's DVDs, not even caring about asking first or invading his privacy. Luckily, Derek didn't have any porn movies or anything embarrassing in his collection.

Stiles was facing the entertainment center, with his back to Cora, glancing at some family photos that sat on the cabinet.

They were all pictures and memories that Derek remembered and cherished.


There was one of him with his mom when he was just a baby; it was one of his favorites. She was wearing her favorite teal dress in the photo from what Derek was told, with her long, wavy black locks flowing in the wind. She was young and beautiful. Her eyes sparkled full of life and she was smiling lovingly down at Derek who was sound asleep in her arms.

There was another photo of Derek with his entire family, when he was a teenager; it was the last picture they ever got to take as a whole family. It was a group portrait. He could still remember all the trouble it took his mother to get the kids together and get the picture.

Derek and his sisters were against the group shot. They felt it was uncool at the time. However, now, times were different. Now, Derek was grateful for his mother urging them to come together for one last picture together, one last time before everything changed for good.

There were a few other pictures, one of him and Boyd on his first day of College. Where they met as roommates and became fast friends. There was another of Laura and her son, that she sent Derek when Shane was first borne.

Lastly, there were the shots that Derek and Jennifer took in a photo booth on one of their many dates before their relationship went downhill. There were three small pictures of them together encased in a plain white picture frame to be exact, one of them laughing sweetly, another of them making funny faces and the last one of Derek kissing Jen's cheek as she smiled in the shot. Pictures he had forgotten all about.


Derek tensed up a bit when he noticed Stiles hand come around the frame, bringing up to his face to get a closer look.

"Cora what are you doing here?" Derek voiced, letting his presence be known.

Stiles quickly spun around at the sound of his teacher's voice with the picture frame still in his hands.

Cora looked up from the movies and at her brother, her eyes widened as she took in his dressed up appearance.

"Derek, you look great." She said, eying his outfit.

Derek's tense form walked over to Stiles extended his hand out.

"You mind?" He asked in a cold tone.

Stiles cheeks grew red as his nosiness got the best of him.

"Sorry, I was curious." He said, handing Derek the picture frame.

Stiles watched as Derek opened one of the drawers of the entertainment center and without saying a word, tossed the picture in it, shutting it after.

Stiles couldn't tell if Derek was upset at his curiosity or at the pictures. Though not wanting to push and make matters worse he kept quite as Cora started to speak.

"Derek, why are you so dressed up anyways? Do you have a hot date I don't know about?" Cora teased.

"Something like that." Derek voiced, rubbing the back of his neck, clearly nervous.

He glanced over at Stiles shocked face before moving his gaze down to the floor.

"What, your dating someone, since when?" Cora asked defensively, putting her hands on her hips.

"Laura encouraged me to ask this waitress out and before I knew it I had a date with the girl." He confessed.


"Wait, Laura's back?" Cora said in shock.

"She's just visiting. She'll probably be heading home any day now."

"Laura seems nice." Stiles said out of the blue, entering the conversation.

"Wait, you met Laura? How come you both have seen her and I haven't?" Cora asked irritated.

"Perhaps she still isn't over you hitting on her husband?" Derek suggested.

"You hit on your sister's husband?!" Stiles exclaimed, wide eyed.

"No, I didn't hit on her husband. One, they weren't married at the time. And two, I was drunk, I would have thought a tree was attractive in my state." Cora argued.

Derek chuckled out loud at his sister as she glared at him. Stiles bit his lower lip to keep from snickering.

"It's not funny Derek. I'm going to call her right now and sort this out." Cora stated, walking down the hall as she dialed away on her cell leaving Derek and Stiles alone.


Stiles looked Derek over for the first time of the night. He was wearing a black blazer with a white v neck shirt underneath, a pair of comfortable fit blue jeans and some black dress shoes. He had a dressy yet casual look to him. He looked irresistible.

"So, are you excited for your date?" Stiles asked trying to kill the silence.

"I'm a nervous wreck. I haven't been on a date in forever. I don't even know how to act." Derek confessed, feeling his anxiety coming back.

"Knock, knock!"

"Oh god, I think that's her." Derek voiced, as he started to pace back and forth.

Stiles grabbed Derek's arm stopping him in his spot. He smiled up at his teacher, moving in front of him. Derek gave him a questioning look as Stiles tugged on to the ends of his blazer, pulling him in closer to him.

"Relax, you'll be fine. Just be yourself. She would be a fool not to like you for you." Stiles said looking into his intense blue eyes.

Derek gulped nervously as Stiles leaned in, close to Derek's face, so close he could feel his breath on his lips. For a moment, Derek was thinking Stiles was going to kiss him on the mouth, and for a moment he welcomed the idea, parting his lips slightly as Stiles closed in.

However, Instead of pressing his mouth against Derek's, Stiles moved his lips to Derek's stubble cheek and gave him a friendly peck.

Just as Stiles started to pull back Derek turned his head and smashed his lips against his students. Stiles taken back by his teacher's sudden actions, stumbled back a bit.

Derek gripped Stiles waist, pushing him closer, making their clothed chest press up against each other as his tongue greedily explored his student's mouth.

Stiles moaned in the kiss and wrapped his arms around Derek's back. He pushed the back of Derek's blazer and shirt up; slipping his hands over his teacher's bare, sculpted back, wanting more of him, wanting all of him.

Derek let out a low growl through the kiss and moved his hands down to Stiles clothed ass give it a squeeze.

"KNOCK, KNOCK."

The loud noise brought the two back to reality. Stiles and Derek broke away from each other's mouths. They were both out of breath, panting heavily.

Stiles eyes met Derek's once more except this time it wasn't desire that stared back, it was shame.

"I, I should get going, my date's waiting for me." Derek voiced huskily walking past Stiles, fixing his clothes.

"Derek, wait." Stiles voiced, turning around to face him but it was too late. Derek had already opened the door and was now greeting his date.

"Tell Cora not to wait up for me." Derek replied, with his back to Stiles as he shut the door behind him.
