After school the same day

Derek was leaning against the wall across from the boys locker room. He had found out that his coach wanted to see him so he figured that football for him was over. Pushing himself off the wall he headed inside. The eyes of his fellow teammates stayed on him as he made his way to the coach's office. Knocking on the door he walked in. "Hey coach you wanted to see me?"

"Have a seat." Coach Finstock said.

Derek sighed "Look I know why you called me in here so why don't I do both of us a favor and save the time, I quit."

"Whoa that's not what I wanted to talk to you about Derek. "Coach Finstock said. "I don't have a problem with you being gay."

"You don't?" Derek said.

"No." Coach Finstock said. "Look my oldest son is gay. Derek you're a talented football player and a great team captain. There is always going to be a place for you on this team."

Derek looked out the window at the other players. "I don't think the others will feel the same way."

"Well weather you decide to leave or not, I'm here if you need to talk." Coach Finstock said.

Derek smiled. "Thanks Coach." He turned and headed for the door. Pausing a moment he pushed opened the door and was once again meet by his teammates who blocked his way. "I'm guessing you know but you don't have top worry about me anymore because I'm leaving the team. There is need for any of this."

"Dude you can't leave." Tom said. "We need you just as much as you need us. You're our team captain and you're cool with us."

"Are you sure about that?" Derek asked looking around at the others who nodded. "You don't know how glad I am to hear you say that."

"Yeah so get changed because we have a game coming up and we need the practice." Tom said.

"Alright but I have to make a call first." Derek said leaving the locker room. Once he was in the hall he called Jackson.

"Hey how did it do?" Jackson asked.

"They were all pretty cool about it." Derek said. "I'm going to stay for practice but I talked to Danny and he said he was going to try and get Stiles to meet me after school tomorrow. Hopefully everything goes good and we can move on from it."

"That's good." Jackson said. ""Hey I talked to Danny and asked him out. I still can't believe he actually agreed to go out with me. I just don't want to embarrass myself."

Derek laughed. "I'll talk to you later." He hung up the phone and went back into the locker room

…

"So you're going to go out with Jackson?" Stiles asked. He was lying on his bed while Danny was at his omputer.

"Yeah and I think that I'm the first guy he's ever asked out because every other time when we see him he's with a girl."

"Well hope you have a good time." Stiles said.

Danny sighed and turned to Stiles. "So when are you going to talk to Derek?"

Stiles frowned. "I guess whenever he comes to me."

"We can do a double date." Danny said. "Tomorrow when Jackson and I go out you can come with us."

"I don't think that's a good idea" Stiles said.

"It's a great idea." Danny said. "I'm going to call Jackson and ask him now. Can you please just do this for me, I promise that you'll have a good time."

"Fine." Stiles said and Danny smiled. "What?"

"Come on don't act like you're upset with this." Danny said. "I know you care about him and no matter what went down with you two you always will." He sighed. "You can't fool me Stiles."

Stiles smiled. "Okay maybe you're right, I can't stop thinking about him."

"I know and that's I'm here to help you." Danny said. "I have to go home but tomorrow we are going out and we're going to have a great time. You and Derek are going to hit it off, I know it." He picked up his book bag. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye." Stiles said. Thirty minutes later he was at his omputer when he got an email from Derek. He stared at it a minute before opening it.

Derek: I know you probably don't want to hear from me but Jackson told me about the double date and I

just wanted to make sure that you were going?

Stiles: Yeah I promised Danny that I would be there so I will.

Derek: How have you been?"

Stiles: Okay, I heard about someone outing you, are you okay?

Derek: I'll be okay...Well I'll let you go...Bye

Stiles wrote back bye then went back to doing his homework.

…...

The next day

"i don't think I can do this." Stiles said. He was leaning on the lockers while Danny searched his own.

"You're not backing out on me now." Danny said. "We already agreed to this date and we're both going."

"But what if me and Derek don't hit it off like you want us too." Stiles asked. "What if we just don't work."

"You've been talking to him for a long time now." Danny said.

"Yeah but that was on line." Stiles said. "Now that we've meet I don't know the first thing to say to him."

"Okay then if you get uncomfortable or you want to leave just tell me." Danny said. "And we can go."

"But what about Jackson?" Stiles asked.

Danny shrugged. "We can just go out some other time. I just want you to be happy and you were when you were talking with Derek. So before you do anything regarding Derek just think about everything you two talked about."

"I will." Stiles said. "Don't worry."

That afternoon Jackson and Derek were seated at a restaurant waiting for Danny and stiles. Derek was tapping his fingers on the table and bouncing his leg. "Their not coming."

"Will you relax." Jackson said. "And stop doing that because it's very annoying."

Derek stopped and smiled. "Sorry."

"Dude their going to be here." Jackson looked out the window and saw Danny and Stiles getting out of a car. "See here they come now."

Derek looked outside and freaked. "I'll be back I have to use the restaurant."

Before Jackson could say anything Derek was up and off to the bathroom. He sighed and looked to the door as Stiles and Danny walked in. They came over to his table and sat down. "Derek should be back in a minute."

…...

Derek splashed water on his face for the forth time. He felt his heart pounding in his chest as he tried to calm himself down. Drying his face he stared at himself in the mirror. "Just be yourself and everything is going to be okay." He straightens his clothes and left the bathroom.
