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.

Derek spends the rest of the afternoon reading by the big widows in the loft. Around late afternoon the front door opens and Peter saunters in, like he owns the place.

"What are you doing here?" Derek snaps, but doesn't look up from his book.

"Do I need a reason to see my favorite nephew?" Peter asks in that snide manner he has. "Where's Isaac?"

"How should I know?" Derek asks and flips the page of his book even though he's not finished with it to let Peter know he's ignoring him. He thinks it's odd that Peter asks about Isaac and not Cora, his niece. But then again, Derek has never understood Peter. Not truly. He has his own motives and means for doing things that only he knew the cause for.

"Because you normally know where he is." Peter says, running his fingers across Derek's desk just to piss him off and he doesn't want to admit it works.

The Alpha huffs through his nose and bites, "He's with Scott and Stiles" hoping that will send him on his way

"And you're ok with that?"

Apparently it doesn't.

"I take it you have an opinion on the subject." Derek states, not asks, because it's obvious he does and closes his book with a bored expression at him.

Peter shrugs as if it's none of his business (because it's not) but still tells him, "I just wouldn't want my Beta hanging around with an Omega, that's all."

"Well, he's not your Beta. He's mine." The look on Peter's face when he says that lets him know that perhaps he should have chosen better wording. "Besides Isaac isn't my property. He can do what he wants. I won't force him." Derek adds and reopens his book, nonverbally telling him that he's done with this conversation.

But Peter doesn't seem to care because he keeps talking. "So if he wants to leave you'll just let him?"

"That won't happen." Derek may almost rip out a page when he flips to the next one. He hasn't read either but needs a distraction from his uncle.

"Almost happened once before," Peter reminds him and Derek snaps his gaze up to him again. The older man smirks, now that he's gotten what he wants. "And Scott may not want to admit it but he's deceptively charming and convincing to wayward souls."

"That won't happen." Derek insists, feeling his eyes bleed to red, but the other wolf just smirks wider.

"So you've said," Peter says, almost ominously, before shrugging. "Well if no one is here I'll be off then. Give my best to Cora, and your Beta if he comes home."

And just like that he's gone again. Derek stares at the door for a moment before down casting his eyes towards the floor, thinking.

He then whips out his phone and texts Isaac. :I'm ordering Thai for dinner. What do you want?:

"What are you smiling about?"

"What? Nothing," Isaac says, blacking out his phone screen from Stiles's prying eyes.

"Uh hn…I beat your talking to some girl!" Scott crows elbowing him in the arm.

"I am not!" Isaac says, shifting away from him.

"Some guy then?" Stiles asks and Isaac's face goes sheet white.

"W-What?" He stammers but Stiles just 'whoops' triumphantly.

"See! I knew it! Who are you talking to?"

"Hang on! What makes you think I'm talking to some guy? Or anyone for that matter?!"

"Danny told us that you bat for his team a while ago." Stiles tells him nonchalantly. "And you got that stupid look on your face Scott gets when he thinks of Allison."

"I do not!" The other werewolf defends but Stiles just looks at him and says,

"Allison." The look on Scott's face is borderline comical, the corners of his mouth curling into a slow grin and a dreamy eyed look coming to his face. "See, that face. So who is it?"

"N-no one," Isaac stammers.

"Is it Danny?"

"No,"

"Is it Greenburg?"

"No!"

"Is it Jackson?"

"No,"

"Dude, Jackson's not gay." Scott pipes in, now out of his 'Allison' haze.

"I don't know man. That hair, those clothes, the need to constantly overachieve to compensate for something, sounds like a closet case to me." Stiles says with a shrug.

The two go back and forth arguing about how nice clothes and good hair didn't automatically make someone gay and Stiles's insistence that Jackson has checked him out in the locker room before, eventually concedes to 'ok, maybe he bats for both teams', but Isaac tunes them out.

He looks at his phone again and feels that wistful expression return to his face as he thinks of Derek, knowing full well that he doesn't like Thai food but Isaac does, feeling the corners of his mouth tug similar to how Scott's did. He squashes it though, quickly, suddenly very alarmed in his realization that he has feelings for his Alpha. Derek. He has feelings for Derek Hale.
