HOLY CRAP! It's been a while since I've updated this story. I've been stuck and have had major writers block, like the laws I have won't write at all. I've been working on this a while, it's been scratched so many damn times, re-written and then it stayed hidden in my folder for a while in hopes I'd get some sort of inspiration or epiphany to make it work. Did it? I hope so. So this was written out of sheer frustration, a little bit of insanity and just wanting it done and hoping the end result is okay. So I promise to make it up to you guys, I've still got my other stories to manage as well and life has gotten complicated (personal stuff). This is just going slowly, oh so very slowly.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Wolf, nor do I own the characters. This is simply from my mind. That is all.

Summary: To hug or not to hug, I mean after all, they make the world go round, right?

It's a shocker Stiles hasn't had any broken bones from the amount of times he's hugged Derek. Derek isn't too much of a hugger. If someone tries to hug him, that person either ends up in a headlock or thrown to the ground. Of course if it's the girls, it's different because Derek is a respectable man he just stands there letting out a low growl or tells them to let him go. The pack is convinced Derek favors Stiles, they are also convinced it's not because Stiles and him are mates or maybe it is the fact that they are mates. In fact it was the pack that made Derek Law Five which should've been made after the third incident. But because they are pack, well they just thought it was Derek being Derek.

Incident one happened during one of their daily pack hang outs or maybe a pack meetings or was it a training sessions. Could have been a mix of all three, yeah it was a mix of three. Lydia and Allison were watching-with little interest- as Jackson and Scott wrestled. They'd watch for a few seconds but then their attention would trail as they discussed their plans for after their little metting.

Danny and Stiles were actually watching their friends wrestle, yelling out screams of encouragement. One because well what else do you do and two because they had a betting pool going. Stiles was winning because he put his money on Scott and because he'd never bet against his best friend. Also because Stiles isn't stupid, Scott is the stronger beta.

Jackson and Scott were on their fifth round. Derek was off to the side giving orders, mainly to Jackson so that he wouldn't have his ass handed to him again. It happened in seconds, Scott let his attention slip for a moment and he found himself on the ground. His back covered in dirt and he could feel rocks and sticks digging into his shoulder blades. "Nice," Scott breathed

Jackson simply grinned at him and he turned to Derek who just nodded. And this is where the "mistake" happened. Jackson was hugging the Alpha. Derek felt his whole body tense when he felt the Beta's arms circle his waist. He let out a low growl, which went unnoticed. Derek's eyes bled red and he quickly turned the blonde around. Derek quickly trapped Jackson's arms between their bodies as he put him in a headlock.

"Don't," Derek growled out, "Ever. Do. That. Again."

Jackson whined and nodded, "Noted," he groaned once Derek released him.

Incident two wasn't two extreme. Allison was the culprit. It was closing in on the Anniversary of the Hale House fire. They all knew but didn't want to say anything. Plus Derek kept quiet about it and kind of avoided the topic anyways. It was a very touchy subject for the Alpha. So Stiles thought a movie night. Snacks and the pack being together would be a great way to comfort Derek. There would be no words needed and plus it had been a while since they've had a movie night. And Stiles decided that they needed a laugh, so Disney movies, or children movies was the theme.

Stiles was in the kitchen getting snacks ready when it happened. Derek sitting at the kitchen counter, just watching, his mind wandered every once in a while. It was quiet but that was broken when Scott and Allison entered. "I brought the lion king," Allison said with a smile, "I love that movie."

Scott was the first to notice Derek flinch. Stiles was next, he approached his mate slowly, "Der, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing," Derek mumbled.

"Derek," Stiles said, a warning in his tone.

Derek sighed as he eyed the movie in Allison's hand, "Just, it-it, it reminds me of my family."

Allison dropped the movie in her hand rushing forward she hugged the Alpha who flinched. "I'm sorry Derek," she mumbled.

Derek in took a sharp breathe. His arms still at his sides as he managed to control his breathing. "Umm Allison," he forced out.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm, I'm a little uncomfortable with you hugging me."

"Oh."

"Sorry," Derek apologized, "It's just that.."

Allison stepped back and smiled in understanding, "Don't worry okay Derek."

"Sorry Allison, I know you're trying to-"

"Derek," she said gently, "Don't worry okay."

The Alpha nodded and smile in thanks.

The third incident should've been a big red flag. But the pack was too nice. It was Danny this time. They were in Scott's house playing video games. The sounds of yells and gun shots could be heard throughout the room. The pack was spread out throughout the family room. Scott was in the arm chair with Allison in his lap as she watched with interest but she was secretly texting Lydia, both girls having a conversation on boys and their toys. Jackson was spread out on one of the couches with Lydia laying on him. Lydia of course awake but Jackson was slipping in and out of consciousness.

Derek and Danny were seated on the couch. Derek on one end with Stiles at his feet and Danny at the other end of the couch. They were playing HALO. Stiles convinced Derek to play and he wished he didn't. Derek was actually pretty good at HALO, like insanely good. Scott and Stiles were currently struggling against Derek and Danny who were leading by a good fifteen points and they needed three more kills to win the game. "You have to be cheating, "Stiles groaned when his player died.

Derek smirked, "No, it's just all in the timing."

Stiles rolled his eyes, "Yeah, whatever, you probably secretly play when we aren't around."

"No."

"Lies!" Scott yelled

Derek smirked, "Not lies, I don't play HALO, I play Modern Warfare Three."

Several seconds later Stiles found himself throwing the controller to the ground in disappointment. Allison nearly found herself on the floor as Scott flailed in the armchair. Jackson was woken from his slumber and Lydia's attention from her phone immediately zoomed in on Danny. The omega was on the ground, groaning. He looked up at the Alpha. "Derek, what the hell," he mumbled.

Derek growled, breathing ragged, "Sorry, man reflex."

"Yeah," Danny groaned as he rubbed at the back of his neck, a dull pain spreading through his body, "I'll keep that in mind next time I have the urge to hug you."

The incident with Lydia was what caused them to start forming the idea of Derek Law number five. They were at Allison's house. Derek entered wordlessly when the pack had put in the movie, the Breakfast Club. Scott looked over at the elder as he sat stood in the middle of the entry way. "Derek, you okay?" he asked.

Derek just nodded as he made his way over to the empty arm chair. "You sure?" Danny asked

"Yes,"

"Derek?" Jackson pressed.

"He just left, he's going to be gone for a week, what the hell am I going to do?" Derek groaned

"Oh Derek," Lydia cooed as he ran over and hugged the Alpha.

All the wolves in the room felt a sudden shift in the air. Derek's arms hung loosely at his side refusing to return the hug. "Umm Lydia, please stop hugging me," Derek forced out, trying not to sound like he was growling.

Lydia backed away. "Sorry."

Derek just nodded, "I appreciate it but, I just, no hugs."

The girl smiled, "Don't worry Derek."

"Guys, I'm starting to think Derek doesn't like hugs," Scott whispered.

"Shh he might hear you!" Danny whispered back harshly as he glanced over at Derek

Lydia rolled her eyes "Oh please, he's too busy waiting for Stiles."

"Besides Scott, what makes you say that?" Jackson asked

Scott looked at Jackson, eyes wide with shock, "Really?"

"How about the fact that you got head locked Jackson or Danny getting thrown to the ground, then there's the fact that he kind of told Allison and Lydia that he was uncomfortable with them hugging him," Scott rushed out

"But Scott, Stiles hugs Derek all the time and he's okay with it," Allison said, "maybe he just didn't want the affection at the time."

"Or maybe it's cause we aren't Stiles," Scott stated.

Jackson sighed, "He does have a point."

"Go hug him," Danny said turning to Scott.

"No, I'm going to get face planted."

"Just go," Lydia ushered, "in the name of science Scott."

Scott scowled as he stood up and made his way to Derek. The Alpha was sitting on the front porch, his leg bouncing up and down. "Hey Derek?" Scott asked.

The Alpha looked up at him, "What Scott?"

"I just want to test something."

Derek looked at the younger wolf questioningly then nodded his head, "Okay."

The Beta put his arms around Derek in a hug. Derek froze, his eyes gazing at the beta in confusion. Seconds past before it registered what was happening. He let out an aggravated growl as he quickly pinned the younger wolf to the ground. "Seriously what the hell?" he questioned, eyes bleeding red a little.

"Sorry," Scott chocked out, "just want to-"

Scott didn't have to finish, there was a loud honk and the sound of an engine revving. Everyone's attention turned as Stiles pulled up in his blue jeep. He jumped out grinning, "Hey guys, what's up?"

Derek was the first one over, hugging his mate and placing a gentle kiss on the brunette's forehead. Stiles hugged him back tightly. "I missed you," Derek mumbled.

Stiles just nodded, "I know, I missed you too."

Derek whined as he inhaled his the younger man's scent pulling him closer. Scott got up from his position on the ground and made his way to the rest of the pack. "Oh yeah, he definitely doesn't like hugs unless it's from Stiles," he groaned.

Allison just smiled, "I think it's cute."

"Oh yeah, it's so cute," Jackson said sarcastically

Danny looked over at the two, "That should totally be a Derek Law."

Lydia nodded, "Yeah Derek Law Number Five, Derek doesn't like hugs unless it's from Stiles."

"Should he know?"

The five looked over at their Alpha and his mate. Derek still had his arms around Stiles in a tight hug as he placed a gentle kisses on the brunette's forehead, eyes, ears, mouth and cheek. They all shut their eyes when Derek shoved Stiles against the hood of the jeep and pulled Stiles into a heated kiss. "I think he already knows," Scott whispered harshly.

Derek smirked as he pulled back from the kiss. He grinned as Stiles smiled up at him, "They made a new Derek law," he mumbled as he placed a kiss on the brunette's neck.

"Hmm," Stiles mumbled.

Derek nipped gently near Stiles' pulse point, "They're stupid really, talking about it when I can hear them."

"What is it?" Stiles gasped out.

"Derek Law number five, Derek doesn't like hugs unless it's from Stiles."

Stiles let out a grin. He pushed himself into a standing position as hugged Derek tightly, head pressed against the lycan's chest as he continued to laugh. "Damn, I missed you guys."

"We missed you too!" Scott called out.

Derek looked over at the rest of the pack. Their eyes were now open, focused on Derek and Stiles agin. "By the way," Derek called out, "You really shouldn't be talking about the Alpha when the Alpha can hear you."

Lydia laughed, "Yeah, yeah, and you shouldn't talk about us when we can hear you!"

Derek rolled his eyes, "I can do whatever I want."

"So I take you're okay with the new Derek law?" Scott asked.

Derek nodded, he placed a kiss on top of Stiles' head, pulling him closer if possible, "One condition."

The pack nodded.

"Subsection A, If the hug is Derek initiated, it's okay."

The pack looked at him, questioning and confusing looks on their face. As if they were asking: okay, why?

Derek sighed, "I don't want you guys to think I'm a jerk and unaffectionate towards my pack."

"Fine, we'll give you that," Lydia said.

Derek grinned, "Good, now go home, I have to instill Derek law number two here."

Thoughts? Review? Yes? No? Maybe?

By the way, have you guys been keeping tabs on Teen Wolf. ( I'm sure you have, like I even need to ask). But I'm stoked more then ever. Allison's Grandfather in the picture! Oh and someone trying to get between her and Scott! And a new wolf! FOR THE LOVE THAT IS CASTIEL, can these Season just start already!

Oh and do any of you readers happen to be a Supernatural fan, what you think of Friday's episode?
I kind was, like, I know what's going to happen, yes they're going to that to me. Nevermind the boys feelings in this, kinda attitude.

One more, Walking Dead fans, what you think of the recent episodes. I for one pitched a fit, screamed at the TV, threw myself on the floor, cried a little. The whole nine yards.

I'd like to say, that's why I've been distracted, to emotionally hurt from the heartbreak that these TV shows relieved to write properly.

Anyways, have an awesome day, or night or afternoon! Whichever time it is where you are at.
