A little while later

"So you know Stiles and I have been together since high school right?" Derek says. He was in the guest bedroom with Sheriff Stilinski while Stiles, Danny and Jackson cleaned up in the livingroom. "Anyway as time went on I started to feel like I was missing out on something because I had only been with him. So we agreed to have an open relationship.

"What?" The sheriff yelled.

"I know that it was stupid but at the time I didn't think I was ready for commitment." Derek says. "I could tell that this was something he wasn't comfortable with but I didn't say anything. As time went on it started to affect our relationship and he couldn't do it anymore so he left and I left him. Which was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. After I lost him I realized how much he really meant to me so I tried everything to win him back. After a few more mistakes on my part we found each other again and I vowed to myself that I would never hurt him again. Stiles has been the love of my life since I met him and nothing has changed. He's the one en I want to spend the rest of my life with. That's why I want to ask for your blessings to on ask Stiles to marry me."

The sheriff's eyes grew a little while. "Really, are you sure that you ready for something like that because it's a huge step."

Derek looked down at the floor but smiled. "I never been more sure in my life, he's the one."

Sheriff Stilinski smiled, walked over to Derek and held out his hands. "Then you have my blessings but if you ever hurt my son again I'll have your head."

"Good thing I don't have anything to worry about." Derek replied shaking the ed older males hand. "One more thing, can you keep this between us because I don't want Danny to find out because he'll blab to Stiles. Jackson already knows but he won't say anything to Danny about it."

"It's safe we with me." Replied Mr. Stilinski. Just then there was a knock on the and he went over and opened it.

"Hey, is everything okay in here?" Stiles asked nervously.

Stilinski nodes. "Everything's alright here." He en patted Stiles on rhe shoulder and walked past him.

Stiles watched him go then looked back to Derek. " What were you guys talking about?"

Derek sighed and leans against the doorframe. "Well I told him about the open relationship thing and how I let you walk out of my life. I told him how much I regretted it and how much I love and want to spend the rest of my life with you. He was still upset about the whole thing but I don't think he hates me." Smiling he pulled Stiles further into the room and closed the door. With the door closed he pressed the smaller male against and rested their foreheads against each other.

"What are you doing?" Asked Stiles, his arms going around Derek's neck.

"Nothing." Derek replied moving down to kiss Stiles on the neck.

Stiles closed his eyes and moved closer to Derek. He thought back on the past month and how much it hurt when Derek chose not to be with him. How much it hurt whenever he came home to find Derek with someone else. He had regretted his decision to say yes to an open relationship but fearing that Derek would cheat on him somehow seemed worse. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice he was crying or that Derek was now watching him with worried eyes.

"What is it Stiles, why are you crying?" Derek asked, his hands resting on Stiles waist.

Stiles brought his hand up and wiped his face. "It's nothing...I just got lost in old and painful memories." He looked down and started chewing on his bottom lip. "Sorry." He whispered. "I'm trying to put it all behind me but it's hard."

"You don't have to apologies for that Stiles." Derek tells him. Sighing he pressed his head against Stiles. "I love you Stilinski, always."

Stiles smiled, wiped his face and wrapped his arms back around Derek. "I love you too."

Derek gave Stiles a kiss before pulling away. "Come on we better head back out before they think we're doing something." He started to walk off but Derek pulled him back.

"Would it be bad if we were in here doing something." Derek starts kissing Stiles jawline. "You know you want to."

"I would love for you to take we me here and now but there is no way that's happening with my dad in the next room." Stiles pulled away from Derek.

Derek moaned but followed Stiles back to the livingroom where the others were seated. The sheriff was in the chair while Danny and Jackson took the couch. Derek sat on the other chair and pulled Stiles down onto his lap. Before Stiles could move his arms went around his waist, holding him in place. "So sheriff, how long are you going to be here with us?"

Sheriff Stilinski sighed. "Well I took a few days off so I'll probably leave sometime around Friday or Saturday. Why do you ask, do you have something else big planned for the weekend?"

Since Stiles was facing away from him Derek smiled. "I'm not sure yet, I guess we'll have to wait and see."

Sighing Jackson got to his feet. "Alright it's getting late and we all have to work so why don't we call it a night. Mr. Stilinski you're welcome to stay here in our guest room since I know you hate hotels."

"Thanks." Mr. Stilinski says.

"Well I guess we better go." Stiles says getting to his feet and taking Derek's hand when he reached for his own. "What are you doing tomorrow dad, maybe we can go out or something when I get off."

"Yeah that sounds good." The sheriff says.

"Well I won't be home until late so you guys can just go out without me." Derek looked over at Jackson. Hey Jackie, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Stiles watched as the two of them walked towards the kitchen. "What do you think they're taking about?"

"I don't know." Danny says. "But I'm going to get it out of Jackson, one way or another."

...

Derek and Stiles apartment

Stiles was lying face down on the bed thinking about the day he's been through. Between seeing Scott and his dad for the firdt time in almost a year he was more then happy but whatever it was that Derek wasn't telling him had him worried. He looked towards the door when Derek appeared after getting out of the showers, only a towel wrapped around his waist. "Derek?"

Derek stopped and looked over at Stiles. "Yeah?"

He hated when Derek kept stuff from him but he was afraid to ask him about it. "Nevermind." He turned away from Derek and got off the bed. He started to walk past him but Derek grabbed his arm.

"Hey, what's going on?" Derek askes.

Stiles looked down. "Nothing, I'm going to get something to eat."

Before Derek could say anything else Stiles left the room. He started to go after him but got hit with a wave of cold air so he decided to get dressed first. Once he was done he went to the livingroom and found Stiles going through the fridge. "Stiles?"

Sighing Stiles closed the door and turned around. "I don't like it when you keep stuff from me Derek."

Derek frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Whatever you and Jackson are always talking about." Stiles says. "Danny says that he doesn't think it's anything bad but-"

"It's not anything bad Stiles." Derek says walking over to him. "I just wanted everything to be perfect when I ask you this."

"Ask me what?" Asked Stiles and when Derek walked away from him he frowned. Pushing himself off the counter he followed Derek to the bedroom and found him digging through the dresser drawers. " What are you looking for?" He says sitting on the bed.

Derek turned back to Stiles and smiled. "I guess there's no better time to ask you this and besides it gets harder and harder not to ask you this every time I see you." Kneeling down in front of Stiles he held up the little box. "Stiles, you've been the love of my life since the day I met you and nothing has changed. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and that's why here and now I want to ask you something." He took a deep breath and opened the box. "Will you marry me?"

...

What will happen? Will he say yes?

I'll have the next chapter up fpr you guys soon. :-)
