They all sat back down around the fire for a few more hours. There were a few more stories told and Scott kept telling lame jokes and receiving threatening glares from Erica and Derek. To Stiles the rest of the night was a blur. His mind to busy thinking about his new sleeping arrangements to even care about the conversation at the fire.
It's not that he was complaining exactly, because lets be honest here, he's sleeping in the same tent, the same tiny little one person tent, as the guy he's currently crushing on. Who also happens to be a giant muscle bound ultra hot alpha werewolf. Who could rip Stiles throat out. With his teeth. So, it's not that he's complaining it's just that he'd rather not die because he popped and awkward boner while sleeping next to aforementioned sour wolf. Then again, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. He could use the whole 'hormonal teenager' excuse. Yeah, that could work. Besides, it's not like Derek is that old himself, he probably still gets an awkward boner every now and then, hell, he probably even masturbates…or licks himself like a dog. The naughty side of Stiles mind takes over from there and he goes along for the ride. He's completely unaware that his heart beat is skyrocketing until Derek and the rest of the pack are upon him.
"Stiles!" "Stiles are you ok?" It's the pleas from the pack that bring him back to earth.
"what, oh, yeah yeah I'm fine" he replies, trying to sound are reassuring as possible.
"What the hell man, your heart just took off, I thought you were having problems from Isaacs hug earlier" says Scott, Isaac grimacing at the thought he could of just caused the problem.
"No, it wasn't that. I was just thinking really hard about something is all" he replied quickly, shooting a smile at Isaac who relaxed a little.
"Are you sure your alright? I can carry you back to the town on back, we would be there in 2 hours if I run." Scott offered.
"No. Im fine seriously, besides, I doubt that 2 hours of ultra speed would do me any good, I barley survived my initial kidnapping" He said with a short laugh.
"Alright then, I think you should go to bed though, you need to rest for the hike home tomorrow, its almost 1 in the morning" Scott said.
Ok, so this show of concern totally made up for Scott ditching him today for Jackson. In the end, he really did care for Stiles. Besides he just gave Stiles are brilliant idea.
"Yeah alright, I guess that's true. Im going to go head in for the night." He said, almost a little too enthusiastically.
"Here, take a flashlight if your heading back to the tent" Derek pulled out a small flashlight from the bag next to him and handed it to Stiles.
"Thanks, night everyone" Stiles said as he took the flashlight and started walking to the far side of the clearing.
It wasn't until he was half way there that he realized that Derek specifically brought the flashlight for Stiles. The wolves could see just fine in the dark. That was oddly considerate, he thought. Then again he would do them much good getting lost in the woods in the middle of the night. The moon had been high in the sky for a few hours now, it was almost full, the next full moon was in a week so that may account for the packs more rambunctious behavior.
He finally found the tent after a good 12 minute of walking. He didn't realize how far away from the fire this thing really was. The warmth of the flames were long behind him and the cool summer night air enveloping his skin. It was perfect really, not to cold and not to hot. Just the right amount of humidity so that your mouth didn't get dry but you weren't sticky with sweat. He wanted it to just last forever.
He climbed into the tent, there were 2 sleeping bags already in there(Stiles wondered when Derek pulled that off?). He took the one on the left and unrolled it, it was a little small but it would work. He took off his shirt and bundled it up to use as a pillow, pulling the top half of the sleeping bag over him but not zipping it up because then he would sweat to death. After a few seconds he found himself drifting slowly into sleep.
I lied. Here is the next chapter. I hit a groove earlier. Next chapter after this will be up in a few minutes. As it turns out, this is going to be A LOT longer then i expected. Though i PROMISE i will make it worth its rating. I just want to make it as good as possible.
