Dinner had gone well but once again just like most of his dealings with Stiles it ended in a completely unexpected way. THey had been sitting in their booth talking , food long since gone when out of nowhere Stiles glanced at his phone with wide eyes before scrambling to gather his things, muttering something about always losing track of time to himself. Feeling frustrated and surprisingly a bit jealous over whatever Stiles was headed to do, Derek asked a little put out, "What's the hurry?"
Honey brown eyes looked up at him guiltily through lashes when he replied trying to sound nonchalant and failing, "I kind of had plans after our coffee date and now I'm late because our coffee turned into dinner, but if I leave now I can still make it if I hurry and only be about five or ten minutes late." The jealousy that had been a mere spark just moments before had turned into a fiery inferno at those rushed out words. " Late? Late for what?" Derek couldn't stop himself from asking.
"Oh, just this thing I said I'd go to." Derek was grudgingly impressed. The kid had managed to both answer and not answer the question. Based off of the rush and the flush to his cheeks though Derek could only assume it was some other date type situation which both wounded his ego and added to his jealousy. "I'll see ya around right Derek?" Stiles asked as he threw down some bills to pay for his food and leave a generous tip.
Not even giving Derek the chance to debate it, because he was already rushing out of the diner yelling a thanks and bye to their waitress as he made his way out of the quaint little diner they'd just shared a perfectly nice dinner in. Though based off of the cash on the table and the 'see ya around' that Derek had gotten Stiles didn't look at the meeting as a date.
"What the ever living fuck just happened here?"
What Derek didn't see was Stiles slowing his pace to a rather sedate one, wicked little grin in place at how easily he had managed to rattle the Alpha. He had also asked around and heard about the one and only Erica Reyes and had timed things perfectly to 'accidentally' bump into the blonde bombshell who was currently strutting his way wearing some truly impressive stilettos. Tripping to fall at her feet papers scattered everywhere Stiles rushed to apologize, his face beet red as if in embarrassment stuttering out," Sssorry I-I-I'm so-o-o-o so-sorry ma-ma-ma-miss." Stiles had to hold back his grin when the blonde smiled in an almost shark like manner before kneeling down to help collect the stray papers that had scattered in his fall.
"Aww now that's alright sugar no need to -" Her sentence was cut short by a groan as she fell to the ground herself and started to spasm and jerk as her eyelids drooped, head nodding. "Oh shit, she's got generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Fuck!" Stiles said in shock as Erica's lips which were clenched together causing them to turn blue even as she began to foam and drip from her mouth. Stiles looked to his phone to note the time in case the paramedics were required, if this lasted more than five minutes. Pulling off his hoodie Stiles folded it before placing it under Erica's heads he moved her onto her side making sure there was nothing sharp near her with a sad frown on his face in sympathy.
While he may not have epilepsy, both of their bodies betray them, her with her seizures and him with his ADHD. His ADHD was a big part of the reason he ended up in the genetics department, he wanted to understand what it was that was so different in his DNA that he wasn't able to focus. Stiles had been murmuring softly, "Hey, shh shh it's gonna be alright. Everything's gonna be ok." He flinched in sympathy when he heard the telltale trickling sound of urine hitting the pavement.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. I'm here, I'm here for you, you're not alone."
It was well into minute three when she finally slowly stopped spasming, lips turning back to their normal pink, body going limp while she looked up at the boy who had been holding her hand through the whole ordeal. Another seizure that caught her off guard. She had heard him whispering comforting words to her as her body betrayed her once again, and she blushed at the feeling of liquid spreading from where her bladder had failed her once again. "Thank you." The boy shook his head with a soft smile as he brushed her hair away from her forehead saying, "It was nothing, I'm sorry you have to go through that though. I know what it's like to feel like your body is failing you." Offering a hand up the boy stood gathering his hoodie as he helped her to her feet, offering it to her once again this time motioning to her waist where there was a dark patch showcasing where she had literally pissed herself. With another shocked but grateful thank you she took the hoodie as he took an arm and wrapped it around his shoulders taking the major it of her weight asking without even so much as glancing her way, "Alright which way is home for you. I'm gonna walk you home, make sure you get there safe."
"What are you Batman or something?" She watched as an almost gleeful smile spread across the boy's face as he looked at her and replied, "Only if you're my Catwoman." She could hardly believe the change in the boy from the one who had been on his knees stuttering out apologies to this one but she like it.
