Note: So here's chapter 2 of Just for a Day. Sorry if it sucks – I'm trying. Feedback is always appreciated again this is my first fan fiction ever so if I am doing anything wrong or if you have some pointers for me feel free to let me know. All grammar and spelling mistakes are my own.

Derek continued to wrap himself tightly around Stiles but he just stood there with his arms at his sides very confused with what was happening. All the other pack members looked on with various expressions on the faces mostly confusion but some pure amusement. Stiles cleared his throat truly for once at a loss for words. Derek managed to unpeel himself from Stiles but kept his eyes locked on his.

"Stiles I need to talk to you."

Stiles still unsure what to say simply nodded, waiting for Derek to start with some kinda explanation as to what the hell had just happened.

"Not here, in private. If that's ok?" Derek whispered.

Stiles nodded again and released a barely audible "Sure".

They started heading away as the rest of the pack looked on still not even slightly able to comprehend what just happened.

"Why do you smell different Derek? Where are you taking Stiles?" Scott shouted after the pair.

Derek stopped and turned around with a slightly exacerbated looked on his face.

"That's what I need to talk to Stiles about. I will fill you in later. Everyone head home and I will contact you if I need you".

Scott looked like he was going to argue but Stiles just held up his hand to silence him.

"I'll be fine Scott just go".

The rest of the pack after a few more considering glances turned as a collective and started heading off. Stiles turned back to Derek with an amused look on his face.

"So what was that about sourwolf? Couldn't keep your hands off me eh?"

Stiles released a small chuckle but stopped when he saw the serious look on Derek's face. Derek looked like he was trying to say something but after opening and closing his mouth several times nothing came out. Stile's was about to try and say something else but before he could Derek finally worked up the courage to say "No".

Stile's was thinking over what had just been said but could figure out what the no was in context to so he simply asked "No what?"

Derek clenched his teeth before looking at his shoes "No I couldn't keep my hands off of you" he nervously answered.

Stiles eyes went wide "Wh-What! I was just joking with you dude. Wh-What are you trying to say?"

Derek couldn't hold himself back anymore. If he only had one day of this then he didn't have time to take it slow so he lunged forward to claim Stiles mouth with his own. Stiles was still against his lips for a moment and Derek was thinking 'You stupid, stupid idiot! You don't even know if he likes…' But he was cut off his negative train of thought when Stiles started reciprocating the kiss. Not only was he reciprocating but he was deepening the kiss grabbing at Derek's shirt to haul him closer.

"Stiles.." Derek moaned against his lips. Stiles replied an equally breathless moan of "Derek.." They continued with some intense mouth to mouth for several minutes before Stiles finally pulled back to actually look at Derek. He looked wrecked – panting, eyes blown wide with his eyes still completely focused on Stiles.

Stiles tried to compose himself and took in a few calming breaths before finally saying what was on his mind. "Not that this isn't the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life, but what the hell was that! Don't you hate me? You never want me around you, you're always pushing me away."

Derek was trying to take in Stiles words it was hard to concentrate after getting a taste of what he has been waiting for, for the past two years. It looked like Stiles was waiting for answer so he too tried to pull himself together before getting it all off of his chest.

"I never hated you, in-fact it's the opposite Stiles. I-I-I'm more than stupidly in love with you."

Derek couldn't believe he had finally said it after all this time but from the look of horror on Stiles face maybe he should have held back on said declaration. If he wasn't under such a time crunch he's pretty sure he would have taken his time with this, maybe have let Stiles get to know the real him and not the show he puts on for everyone else.

"You're what?!." Stiles practically shouted. Looking all kinds of panicked. Derek was only really now thinking about his missing senses not really having had the time to think about it before the pack showed up, but he really wishes he had them now so he could get some kind of feel for what Stiles was thinking. But as it is he can only use his eyes and take in what he can see before him which really isn't looking very good at the moment. If he thinks about it though Stiles kissed him back and he actually said their kiss was 'the best thing to ever happen to him' so maybe he's just in shock. Derek looked up with new found confidence on his face and looked right into Stiles amazing eyes.

"I said I love you. I'm in love with you. Have been since the first time I saw you. I couldn't do anything about it because I was so stupidly in love with you that if I let anything happen I knew I wouldn't be able to control myself and I knew I couldn't let you get hurt because of me. I would never have been able to forgive myself."

Stiles looked well for lack of a better word flabbergasted.

"Not like you to be lost for words Stiles" Derek chuckled.

Stiles took another breath and tried to compose himself.

"You love me? Me?" Derek Nodded "Why? You could have anyone you wanted; I mean have you seen you? You're in my head everyday, all I think about is you, but you always push me away so what changed, why now?"

Derek thought over the list of questions before replying "Yes I love you. You shouldn't need to ask why but if you must know – It's the way you care for the pack, the way that even though you complain about it you do research when I ask you to, the way that even though I try to push you away you always come back to me. It's also you amazing beautiful eyes – I could just get lost in them for days. And I've never wanted anyone as much as I want you."

Stiles mouth was actually hanging so far open he could forget catching flies he could catch birds.

Derek continued on "And as for why now? I've wanted it for so long that someone heard my pleas. Before the pack showed up I was speaking to a woman. She said she had heard my hearts desires and would give me what I wanted and that was to be able to be with you"

"H-H-How?" Stiles stammered out

Derek sobered his look and looked around to make sure no one was near. He couldn't be sure the pack or any other wolves were listening in but he didn't want them to know he had no, as Stiles liked to put it "wolf powers". They could challenge him and if they knew he had no strength to fight back they could easily overpower him in order to become an alpha.

"The woman, she was able to supress or take my wolf away from me. Just for the day, so that I could be with you without the fear of hurting you."

Stiles was still in shock but he was able to speak more clearly now. "You would do that for me? Your wolf is really important to you."

Derek managed a small smile "Haven't you been listening to me? Of course my wolf is important to me but you Stiles, you're everything."

Stiles managed a small smile of his own and his eyes were wet with unshed tears. He raced towards Derek and pulled him close before whispering in his ear. "I love you too"

Derek's heart swelled. Had Stiles really just said he loved him back? They continued hugging with the occasional chaste kiss before pulling back and staring into each other's eyes.

Stiles kept his eyes locked to Derek's before coyly saying "So, if we only have today what are we doing standing in the woods?"

Derek let a full-blown grin take over his face before replying "I dunno Stiles. Where would you rather be?"

Stiles smiled back at him while grabbing his hand and saying "Let's get out of here. My dad's working a double"
