Continuing from the last chapter...
"What are you doing here?" Stiles asked.
"Derek ran into a little trouble at a bar and I had to come get him." Jackson said. "He was drunk and fighting with the bar manager because he wouldn't give Derek his car keys. He really needs to learn not to drink when he's upset. The bar manager called me and told me what was going on. Come on in." He said stepping to the side.
Stiles walked into the apartment and folded his arms. "Where is he?"
"Sleeping it off." Jackson said shutting the door. "Hey I'm actually glad that you're here. I have to go somewhere but I don't want him to be alone."
"I can stay with him." Stiles said. "I actually came here because I wanted to talk to him about something."
"Okay well I'll call you later." Jackson said. "And thanks for doing this for me."
"No problem." Stiles said. When Jackson left the apartment Stiles went to the bedroom and found Derek lying face down on the bed. A pillow was over his head and he was still fully dressed. He walked over to the bed and took off his shoes and socks. He pulled Derek's jeans, then his shirt. He grabbed a blanket from the closet and put it over Derek because it was chilly in the room. He threw Derek clothes in the hamper and went back to the living room. He went to the kitchen and saw all the dishes in the sink. Filling one side of the sink with water and soap he began to wash the dishes. Once he was done he made dinner for the two of them then went back to the living room and turned on the TV.
...
Derek moaned when he heard the TV and got up. Making his way to the living room. He found Stiles sitting on the couch watching TV. "Stiles?"
"Your food is in the microwave and there is some aspirin in the kitchen next to a bottle of water." Stiles said not looking away from the TV.
Derek looked down and realized that he was just in his boxers. "Who undressed me?"
"I did because I hate it when you come home and jump into the bed all dirty." Stiles said still not looking away from the TV.
Derek walked into the kitchen and pushed start on the microwave. Grabbing the bottle of water he took the two pills then waited for his food. He buried his face in his hands and groaned. "Man my head is killing me."
"You know you really shouldn't drink whenever you're upset." Stiles said.
"Don't remind me." Stiles said. "I got enough from Jackson last night." He got his plate out of the microwave, grabbed the bottle of water and joined Stiles in the livingroom. He sat in the chair because he didn't know if he should join Stiles on the couch. "So what are you doing here?"
"I needed to talk to you about something." Stiles said. "Jackson told me you got in a fight with the bar manager because he wouldn't give you your car keys."
"Yeah that sounds like me." Derek said picking through the food on his plate. "So you said that you wanted to talk to me about something." He said.
"Yeah." Stiles looked over at Derek. "It's not really important anymore. I was worried about how we left things and I wanted to see if you were okay."
"I'm okay." Derek said.
"So is that why you went to a bar and got wasted." Stiles said.
Derek sighed. "Okay so I'm not alright. I'm a freaking nightmare Stiles. I miss you and I miss us together. We've been through a lot together and I don't want to throw it all away. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but the biggest one I made was hurting you and I'm so sorry."
"You should put some clothes on before you catch a cold." Stiles said looking back at the TV.
Derek sighed and got back up. "Will you still be here?"
Stiles nodded. "I'm not going anywhere." He said looking back at him.
...
Jackson came home to a quiet and dark apartment. Danny's usually home around this time so he expected him to be there. Going into the bedroom he saw Danny lying asleep under the covers. He walked over to the bed and laid down on top of him. "Wakey wakey."
Danny groaned and turned his head. "Hey you." He said smiling.
Jackson kissed him. "Why are you in bed?"
"Just tired." Danny said. "Work was hell and I'm so tired." He turned onto his back. "How did it go with Derek?"
"He got in a fight because he was drunk and the bar manager wouldn't give him his keys." Jackson said. "Anyway Stiles showed up so I left. I had to go to the office for something and I was going to go back but I figured they would be okay."
Danny yarned and wiped his face. "Something tells me you made up that excuse to get them alone." He said smiling.
"I did not." Jackson said. "I really did have to go to work because I had to pick up some paperwork. To tell you the truth I was going to call you and have you stay with him but Stiles showed up."
"Did Stiles say why he was there?" Danny asked.
"No he just said that he had to talk to him about something." Jackson said. "Do you think that it had something to do with Isaac?"
Danny shrugged. "Probably."
"Well I'll let you get back to sleep." Jackson kissed Danny. "Love you."
Danny laid back down. "Love you too."
...
Derek and Stiles were still sitting down in front of the TV. It's been about ten minutes since they've said anything to each other. "Stiles you have to say something."
"You know when I first came over I was afraid to knock on the door. I was scared that someone else would answer it. I thought you'd be with someone else." Stiles said. "I was standing outside for a while, thinking about leaving. Do you want to be with me because it doesn't seem like it."
"Of course I want to be with you." Derek said. "Stiles I know I do stupid things when I drink and I can get help for that if you want me too. I'll take AA classes and everything. Please just give me another chance." He moved from the chair and sat next to Stiles. "Stiles I know that you still love."
Stiles sighed. "Of course I love you Derek but I'm afraid that if you get tired of me you're going to cheat on me."
"I'm not going to do that." Derek said. "I don't want anyone but you."
Stiles looked over at Derek. "When you went to the bar did you plan on sleeping with someone else?"
"No." Derek said. "I was just upset and needed to clear my head. That guy that came here before I don't even remember leaving with him. I still really sorry about that Stiles."
"It's all in the past now." Stiles said looking back at the TV.
Derek sighed and looked down. "So what does that mean for you and me?"
Stiles shrugged. "Where do we we even start from here Derek?"
"A date." Derek said. "We can go out for a drink or out to eat or something."
"We did that already." Stiles nodded. "But I guess we can give it another shot."
Derek smiled. "Really, thank you?"
Stiles looked over at Derek and couldn't help but smile because Derek was as well. "So you don't mind if I stay here for a while?"
Derek sat back on the couch. "You can stay here as long as you like."
So Stiles did, he didn't go home until ten that night. Not even really x as caring that he had work the next day.
"So you guys are going to go on a date?" Isaac asked.
"Yeah." Stiles said. "I think it would be best if we start over." He sat on his bed and wiped his face. "Man I'm so tired."
"I have to go anyway." Isaac said. "I'll talk to you later."
"Bye." Stiles said hanging up the phone and lying on the bed. He was nervous as hell about his date with Derek and he hoped that it would go okay. Well a lot better than it did the first time.
