Chapter Nine: One More Holiday

The week between Christmas and New Years passed in relative ease, there were pockets of chatting and playing board games together. They ran again once, a few days before and the races and games had shifted outside in the back yard. The air was a little chilly but to werewolves it was nothing terrible. Stiles had never been a team sports kind of guy, he hadn't ever really been an outdoors kind of guy either but playing with his family, his pack siblings and his mates had quickly become one of his favorite activity. Partially it had to do with the friendships that were being built here but also when he played with Derek and Ricky, they usually ended up hot and bothered so they would quickly vacate the game and run up to their room, barely getting the door closed before ripping at each others clothes. It was heavenly.

Stiles knew as soon as they returned to the campus and started classes again; a lot of their time wasn't going to be more than a kiss and falling into bed at the end of long days. Except for Heat, which was going to happen right before midterms because of awful timing. Ricky was starting his accelerated program and Derek had work as well as class and Stiles had a movement to get back to. He'd been lax about it since he'd been here, allowing his happiness and life to take precedence as it should be but if he ever wanted to show the other omegas of the world that they had the right to come out of hiding then he would need to stop waiting to see if someone else would jump on board with him. He couldn't push Isaac but he could start talking to Carmen and maybe learning about the laws around omegas as well as the alpha rules in comparison. Honestly this revolution was a lot about flying by the seat of his pants and knowing a lot of information about as many different topics as possible.

So Stiles started using his new search engine credentials to start looking up omega papers in his spare time but today was one more day that was about family. They were planning a lunch and then there was a fireworks display somewhere in town that they would be able see and hear even at this distance. They were going to go to the edge of the Preserve and enjoy the show without the up close display being so loud it was hurtful. For now though Stiles was sitting in bed, curled in between Derek and Ricky with his fingers rubbing gently into their arms. He allowed his touch to wake them slowly and then as they were shifting carefully around him, Stiles decided to take some action. He leaned down under the loose covers and pressed his questing fingertips into each of their abs and pressed against the stretchy waistband of their sleeping pants and slid down to press his fingers and palm against their morning wood and they both moaned and awoke with a jerk.

"Stiles!" Derek and Ricky shouted together and the omega grinned as he leaned down enough to start stroking them both, digging into a fast and hard rhythm that had them sucking in deep breaths and fighting the need to come then he twisted his hands a little and tightened his fingers just a little and with a groan, both man came in their pants, leaving them breathing heavily and Stiles immensely satisfied. He snickered at the blissed out look on their faces and tugged his hands away from their groans, wiping the stickiness away from his hands. When his mates caught their breath, they immediately turned to give Stiles some relief as well and he mumbled and groaned through his own orgasm before they tumbled to the bathroom for a quick shower before they dressed and walked downstairs to join the rest of the family. Talia was in the kitchen, sitting at the island with a mug of coffee between her hands and a newspaper laid out in front of her. Stiles looked around and used his hearing to sense where the others of the pack were located, several were in bed still but Cora and Ravyn were in the living room and Shelby and Braeden were coming down the stairs. Peter and Carmen were in the backyard and Stiles turned in that direction and peaked through the window to watch them. There was no way to hide what he was doing but Peter didn't seem to be bothered by the audience.

"You would say such things about an omega? Someone like me?" Carmen was asking.

Peter sighed, "I didn't know you. I have accepted that I would never find someone to love and bond with. I had given up, you cannot fault me for that since it happened before I knew you."

Carmen stood from her position on the steps and paced in front of Peter, "You believe all the things about omegas that I hate knowing about myself. You treated Stiles badly, the beloved omega of your nephew and you think that should just be forgotten?"

Peter groaned, "No, that is not my intention but fear and loss had made me hard and there is no defense against that sometimes. Please allow me to prove to you that I don't believe the harsh things I've said in the past. Allow me to show you what loving me could be like and how much my love and bond could be for you as well. Please give me that chance?"

Carmen paused and Stiles could see the forgiveness in her face and opened the door and presented himself to them with a grin. "Hey Carmen, I was hoping I could get your number and ask you about growing up omega and what your trials have been like. I am trying to learn about omegas and reteach betas and alphas about pack dynamics. You interested?"

Carmen smiled at Stiles sweetly, "I do not know what I can tell you but I would be pleased to help you Stiles. It sounds like I can pay back some of my mate's horrible behavior."

Peter grunted in annoyance, like he might argue but said nothing. Stiles gave a flailing wave to both of them, a haughty wink towards Peter before he turned back inside and grabbed some food. There was a big breakfast but they would undoubtedly be snacking through out the day like any other day on this vacation, someone was always in the kitchen cooking something.

Stiles relaxed at the table and munched on the fare of eggs and toast, as well as juice and sausage. Derek and Ricky were both eating, caressing each other for closeness and the girls and Otto joined at the scent of food from the kitchen.

"Morning and Happy New Year!" Ravyn shouted as she walked into the room, making Stiles flinch at her high-pitched tone. He grumbled under his breath about sisters who were way to exuberant and Cora who was skipping into the room quickly followed her. They allowed the afternoon to wile away, Stiles fooling around on his computer and Ricky reading and thankfully after and ridiculously long wait they were getting ready to leave, jumping in multiple cars to drive out to the edge of the Preserve. Stiles drove Derek and Ricky there, and Stiles jumped out of the car as soon as he put it in park and he scrambled up on the hood and he was bookended by Derek and Ricky almost immediately. They sat back and enjoyed the light show, each of the bursts of light in the eyes of a Were are bright and significantly perfect in their utter chaos. They can hear the pops and bangs from the explosions and it wasn't uncomfortably loud, it was enjoyable from here and they stayed there for the half hour show before they headed back to the house.
