These drabbles can be read chronologically or not. Dealer's choice. I'm writing them in a progression style but they all pretty much stand alone.
When Isaac leaps out of the cold tub of ice water Derek is concerned.
Yes, what he said was concerning, and he'll worry about that in a minute. But right now though he's concerned about Isaac, the beta in front of him.
His skin had always been rather pale, but now it's just transparent. The blue in his veins and twinge around his lips and eyes remains stark against his skin, his natural color seeming unable to return as he shakes beneath the blanket given to him. He looks more like a drowned kitten than a werewolf Derek thinks; helpless, wet, and quivering.
Stiles says something snarky about the internet, but Derek isn't listening. He must take his lack of attention as indifference as he stalks off with Scott to research. Now it's just Derek, Isaac, and Denton.
"Would you like another blanket Isaac?" The druid veterinarian asks in that calming, yet authoritative tone he has.
The teen seems to want to answer, but the force of the ice water seems to settle in his bones completely and he can't seem to form words with his chattering teeth, so he just shakes his head.
Denton, as always, seems to not approve of the choice but accepts that its Isaac's to make. He makes some excuse of needing to get some work done in order to leave, but before he does his eyes catch Derek's.
'You need to take care of him' He says without saying, but Derek understands.
His betas are missing. The last one almost sacrificed himself in order to find them. As their Alpha it's his responsibility to care for them and protect them. But Denton won't tell him how to do it. As always he leaves the choice to him and leaves.
Then it was just the two of them.
Isaac seems startled when Derek settles onto the metal examine table next to him, arm draped around his trembling shoulders.
"D-D-D-Derek?" The beta seems confused as to why Derek is holding him, seems to want to put up a fight probably for some stupid reason like he'll get Derek's clothes wet, but his protest is silenced when the alpha tightens his hold.
"Don't talk. You'll waste more heat." He orders, like it's some sage advice and that it's completely natural for him to hold Isaac like this.
After a few minutes Isaac's body seems to have absorbed enough of the other werewolf's furnace like heat as he stops shaking. But, just to be safe, Derek holds him a little longer. Only just to be sure.
