Stiles was sitting on the bench watching the boys play in the wooden sandbox, even though it was winter the twins still insisted going to the playground and luckily for Stiles they can't get sick. It didn't get too cold in California at winter but it was still chilly so the boys had to start wrapping up. Charlie wore a navy corduroy Jacket while Logan wore a red checked Lumberjack Jacket. Stiles looked away from the boys when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. It was a message from Kylie, they had there first date a week ago and have seen eachother a few times since but she was heading to Florida for Christmas. They're not going to see eachother for a few weeks so she wants to meet up before she leaves.
The sheriff dropped the boys off at Derek's place before his shift. Derek agreed to take them early again, Stiles had said he was going to say goodbye to Kylie. Derek had been trying to keep his mind off it. Christmas hadn't been a thing he's celebrated or even gotten excited about in a long time but this is going to be his first Christmas with the boys. It was less than a week until Christmas and we was just about finished with his shopping. Stiles will probably call him out for going overboard but he couldn't help himself.
On Saturday night just after Derek had gotten the boys to sleep he heard the familiar sound of Stiles' jeep pulling up outside of his apartment complex followed by the sound of his footsteps on the stairs, he was always too impatient to wait for the elevator. Stiles let himself into Derek's apartment like usual and plopped down onto his couch, putting his feet in Derek's lap.
"Hey Stiles, c'mon in, Make yourself at home" Derek mock greeted.
"I resent your sarcasm dude"
"Don't call me dude" Derek glared. Stiles spotted a near empty roll of wrapping paper under Derek's coffee table and grinned.
"They are going to be so spoiled this year" Stiles chuckled.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, Lydia is spending Christmas with her dad and his new wife but she's coming by when she gets into town and I know she went all out. Then dad got them stuff, so did Scott, his mom and Isaac. I did and I know that you probably bought the whole of Toys R Us"
"I did not" Derek clamped his hand over the toe of Stiles' shoe.
"Are you going to stay at ours Christmas eve?" Stiles asked.
"Yeah, if that's okay with your dad"
"He actually wanted me to clear something with you actually" Stiles bit his lip.
"What is it?" Derek asked.
"Well he bumped into Chris Argent last week and he kinda invited him to dinner. Dad relates you know? He said we should help them the same way Melissa and Scott helped us after my mom died but he said it's your decision whether or not he's there"
Derek sucked in a deep breath before responding
"It's fine, it was good of your dad to ask him"
"You sure dude?" Stiles asked.
Derek nodded.
"It's gonna be a full house this year. It'll be me, you, dad, the twins, Scott, Melissa, Isaac, Scott's girlfriend Kira, Chris and Allison"
"Scott's new girlfriend and his ex, that'll be interesting" Derek said with a hint of a grin.
"You bet" Stiles laughed.
On Christmas eve Stiles dressed the twins in matching batman and superman fleece onesies and watched the grinch with the two of them sitting between him and Derek. As always his dad passes out two minutes into it.
The sheriff had went to bed after the boys had been brought upstairs so Stiles and Derek were left alone to unload all of the presents from their hiding place and put them under the tree. Stiles noticed a couple of suspiciously large presents coming from the back of Derek's car. Both of the boys had Christmas Stockings with their names on them.
Stiles yarned for probably the third time so Derek started nudging him towards the stairs.
"I'll see you in the morning" Derek told him softly.
"Where are you going?" Stiles asked suddenly upset.
"To the couch"
"Don't be stupid, that couch is a joke. C'mon" Stiles took Derek by the hand and lead him up to his room.
On Christmas morning Derek woke up to the scent of Stiles and the twins. Stiles had somehow latched onto him during the night and his head on resting on Derek's chest, from the corner of his eye he could see that the twins were still asleep.
Watching the boys open their presents was the best thing Derek had ever seen. Charlie ripped open everything, trying to play with them all at once while Logan only had eyes for his wooden quad ride on. The sheriff had gotten them a rocking horse that seemed to be Charlie's favourite out of all of the toys he had received.
Derek had gotten Stiles a new Nintendo DS because his had broken. Stiles loved it but instantly felt shitty because it was probably really expensive. Stiles felt a little embarrassed handing over Derek's gift.
It was a photo album Stiles had put together. It had pictures of the twins on the first few pages but the further Derek went he found pictures of his own parents and his sisters. Even one of him from when he was on the high school basketball team.
Derek shallowed hard and looked at Stiles.
"Thank you" He whispered, still in shock at what he was holding.
Stiles put his hand on Derek's neck, making him look up.
"Merry Christmas Derek" Stiles pulled him into a tight hug and held him there.
Christmas part 2 should be up before next weekend hopefully, again please comment :)
