Infidelity & Scandals
Chapter 2: Checkups & Plotting
As the trio pulled in the parking lot outside of Deaton's place Stiles started feeling really anxious. "Uh Scott I really do appreciate you caring enough to take me here and but I don't have a good feeling about all of this." Stiles said while biting his nails, a terrible habit really. Scott looked in the review mirror and shot Stiles a concerned look. "You're not feeling sick again, right? That may be the bad feeling." Scott says while gripping the steering wheel.
"No," Stiles takes a pause and combs through his hair with his hand, "you know what just go in." Scott gives him a genuine smile, almost grateful that he didn't have to force and drag him to see Deaton. Well here goes nothing, Stiles thought while stepping in the vet store.
"Ahh Scott, Isaac, and uhh Stiles, glad you could come and stop by." Deaton said with a nervous tight smile. "Deaton please, we just want to know what's wrong with Stiles we're not here for the awkward chitchat." Isaac said bluntly. Both Stiles and Scott shot him looks and smiles politely at the veterinarian. "Alright let's get down to business. Hop right on the platform Stiles, I'll have to ask you questions if that's ok?" He asked while glancing in the teenager's direction. Stiles simply nodded in response.
"So from what Scott has told me you have been feeling sick for about six weeks now?" He asked. "Yes that's correct." Stiles said while looking anywhere but Deaton. "And the uhh…vomiting, how long has-." "It has been going on for two weeks now or at least that's what he told me." Scott answers noticing Stiles awkwardness. "Mhmm." Is all the vet replies while scribbling something down.
"Stiles, what, if any, are your other symptoms that have you noticed besides vomiting?" Deaton asked while looking him dead in the eyes. Stiles contemplated for a bit before responding, "I have terrible fevers, high ones, I feel hot one moment but then I get the chills and I'm freezing. There's also my appetite or more the lack thereof, and I hardly eat anything because almost everything tastes disgusting. There are only certain foods I can hold down."
Deaton shot him a confused look and then nodded. He took a moment from his scribbling and looked back Stiles. "Is there anything else?" Deaton asked. "I've been experiencing insomnia and I never really had trouble sleeping…ever. Oh and I have been more prone to panic attacks." He answered.
"I see…from what I can tell you're the same height and weight, correct?" The vet asked. "Yeah pretty much." Stiles replied with a nonchalant shrug. "Ok, well I have to ask you standard procedure questions."
"Have you been taking any types of drugs or prescribed medications?" He asked seriously. "Adderall, that's pretty much it." Stiles replied. "Have you suffered any major trauma of any sort as of late?" Deaton asked. "Listen Doc if you haven't noticed I hang with werewolves and I am a fragile human that's only defense is sarcasm, so yeah trauma is in the equation." The teenager responded with a laugh.
Deaton smiled before asking, "What about sexual intercourse? Have you had sex in the past six months? If so when was the last time you preformed?"
Stiles visibly paled while opening and closing his mouth resembling a fish out of water. "Well I don't see how that has anything to with the matter at hand Doc." He finally said with his head bowed and hands clenched on his knees. Deaton sighed before speaking, "As I stated before Stiles this is just standard procedure. I have to find out what's wrong with you, for all we know you could have a disease from intercourse."
Stiles sighed and ran a hand through his hair again before swallowing. He didn't want to think about the last time he has sex because it had been with Derek. Stiles was reminded of how he gave up his virginity to him and how many times they performed after he did. "It's been three months since the last time I've had sex." Stile says finally.
Scott and Isaac stayed still looking at human teenager in disbelief. Derek hadn't touched him in three months even with the breakup that's about a month. That shocked the pair because Derek was very territorial and always wanted people, werewolf or not, to know that Stiles was his and his only. So that fact being known he always was getting it on with Stiles, he loved it when Stiles reeked of him and had all his marks all over his body. So the whole world could see that Stiles was taken.
Once again Scott angry and he felt his blood boil, just how long Derek have been screwing this chick! From what it looks like it's been months! Deaton's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "Well I'll just draw some blood and urine just to make sure you're but lying about the drug thing." Deaton gave Stiles a tight smile. Stiles nodded and let out a relieved sigh. Thank all that is good that for that being over." The boy whispered to himself.
Scott smiled at his best friend glad to see he was a little feeling better. "Alright I'll let you know the results as soon as I can, but I have to admit I will have to do some research myself because I truly don't know what wrong." Deaton sighed with a tired look on his face, "in the meanwhile Stiles I recommend that you rest and I will give you some pills that will help you sleep." Deaton handed Stiles a small bottle filled to the top of blue pills.
"Let me know if these help at all." The vet said. "Thanks Doc." Stiles said with a smile. "No problem, Scott make sure to keep a close watch over Stiles just in case anything else happens. Call me if you have any questions." Deaton said with a stern look. "Don't worry about that I don't plan on even letting him out of my sight." Scott says while throwing an arm over Stiles shoulder embracing him in a one-armed hug. "That's what I like to hear." Deaton said with a laugh as Stiles groaned.
Cora sat on the velvet blue couch with a scowl planted on her face. Derek came home again reeking of her again. That woman that he cheated on Stiles with, she was responsible for this but…so was Derek. He was just as much as fault as the next person even though she hated to admit it. Oh these were the moments would die to talk to her mother. Ask her what to with Derek, she always knew what to say and handle Derek properly, or even talk to her dear older sister, Laura, they both seemed to know everything and gave the best advice.
Despite not knowing Stiles very well Cora felt bad for him, when he stopped by that day and saw her brother and Jennifer, she knew she should've stopped him from going in but she couldn't find it in herself to. Stiles deserved to know that Derek, also known as his so called mate, was being unfaithful to him. Besides, brother or not, why should she help a cheater? Stiles deserves better than someone who will cheat on him, he's so innocent even though he has seen so much.
Cora snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Derek calling her. "Cora! Have you eaten anything?" He asked while flopping down his bed. Cora looked at her brother who…should she dare say? Looks happy but how if he's apart from his mate? He shouldn't be smiling and acting nice or polite. He should be sitting in a corner and brooding over the loss.
"Hmm, yeah I mean I ate earlier with Isaac and…other pack members." She replied. Her older brother hummed in response still not facing her but eyes concentrated on the ceiling. She could tell that his eyebrows were scrunched and that he was frowning but she wasn't sure why. Cora wondered if Derek could smell it, smell Stiles, despite the fact that his scent is changing because of the unknown illness. Does he smell Stiles scent? Can he tell that there is something wrong with him? What would Derek do if he knew she saw seeing and occasionally checking up on the boy?
"How's everybody doing?" He asked slowly, and then Cora knew that he was trying to hide it but she knew what he was doing. The slight twitch of his nose, he was sniffing the air and in other words he did know that she had seen Stiles. Cora inwardly sighed; she just didn't get it, why couldn't he just ask about Stiles? Did he deserve to be told about Stiles current condition? Would even care that Stiles is extremely ill and might even possibly be dying? Cora clenched her fists and swallowed a growl; no he doesn't deserve to know anything about Stiles. He abandoned his fucking mate for some random chick and that as her being nice. "They're hanging in there." was her vague response.
It was the truth they-the whole pack was hanging on but only barely. Truth be told she wanted to tell Derek all the things that both Scott and Lydia said about Derek. She wanted him to feel bad for what he did but she knew better than anyone that he didn't care about what the others thought. The only person that could hurt him is the person he hurt, Stiles. He's the only one who had that power.
Then Cora had an idea and she grinned like a mad woman. Oh she had the perfect plan but first she would have to call up and old friend, Decyln. Derek would know exactly how it feels to have your mate cheat on you.
Cora smiled to herself and got up off the coach. This sad story just got a little interesting. She thought.
"Cora, where are you headed?" Derek asked sitting up. Cora cocked her head over shoulder so her eyes could glint before saying, "Out, don't worry I'll be back soon."
Oooh Derek aren't you in for a treat, she thought to herself while dialing a number. She walked out the loft and closed the door behind her as the phone rang.
Ring. Ring.
"Why if it's not the one and only Cora Hale, haven't heard from you in a while. How's it going?" A man asked over the phone.
"Mm, hello Decyln it has been quite a while hasn't it? Too long I would say, well things have gotten quite sad and boring over here in Beacon Hills. Mind doing me a tiny favor?" She said with a smile.
The guy on the other line chuckled before a wicked gleam glinted in his eyes. "Sure I'm always up for an adventure especially if it has to do with my favorite werewolf Cora. What's the challenge this time?" He asked.
Cora chuckled darkly before starting to fill him in, "Well see there's this…"
