/ / / Stiles \ \ \
Stiles read them one last time even though he'd already made his decision.
"Derek?" The alpha nodded and looked like he was about to vomit. "I will forgive you but you hurt me, a lot, and I'm not ready to forgive you yet."
Derek nodded and if anything looked even paler.
"Kiss me."
Derek looked confused.
"I have two kisses to remember, one before I got blown up and one where you ran out of the room. I would like a pleasant kiss to remember."
Derek nodded and very gently curled his hand around Stiles' neck, his thumb brushing along the bump of Stiles' Adam's apple before he leaned in and pressed his lips against Stiles in a soft, exploratory kiss. Stiles was going to forgive him, but he needed time and probably some more of this before he'd be able to trust him properly again.
