"Hey Stiles, do you want to go to school tomorrow morning?" Derek asked. "School! Yeah! I wanna go, Derek." Stiles shouted. "Cool, it's getting kind of late bud. Let's give you a bath and you have to get up early." Derek stated. Stiles whined at the thought of a bath and bed. Reluctantly Stiles made his way upstairs and waited for Derek in the bathroom.
"Alright kid, you rea- Jesus Christ!" Derek yelled. There, stood Stiles stark naked standing in front of Derek. Derek threw a towel at Stiles. "Cover yourself up." Derek pleaded. "Wait right here. I'll be back." Derek made his way to his room and found the smallest bathing suite he could find.
Back in the bathroom Derek handed Stiles the bathing suite. "Put this on please." Derek said. Turning around to give Stiles privacy. "Okay Derek, I'm ready. Can I take a bath now?" Stiles asked. Derek laughed to himself and started running the water. "Here feel the water and tell me how hot or cold you want it." Derek insisted. Stiles reached out to feel the water that was flowing out of the spout. "Too hot." Derek adjusted the water to make it a bit cooler for him. "Too cold." Stiles complained. Derek glared at him and fixed the water accordingly. "Not hot enough." Stiles sighed. Derek-for the last time-made the water warmer. "Nope, too hot." Stiles said. "Get in the damn water, Stiles." Derek snapped. "Fine, fine." Stiles said rolling his eyes.
"I don't understand why I have to wear this bathing suite, Derek." Stiles whined. "It's easier for me to bath you this way." Derek informed him. "Whatever." Stiles mumbled. Derek began to pour soap on a wash cloth for Stiles. "Here wash yourself with this." Derek said. "I don't know how." Stiles told Derek. 'What do you mean you don't know how?" Derek asked. "I don't know how." Stiles repeated. Derek let out a large sigh and told Stiles to stand up.
Derek ran the cloth over Stiles' arms, back, and stomach. Stiles shivered due to being exposed to the cold air. "Hold on." Derek mumbled. Derek reached for the shower head and turned it on. He made the water just as hot as the water Stiles was wading in. He maneuvered the shower head where the trails of soap along Stiles' body were. "Okay, you can sit down." Derek declared. Stiles came crashing down into the water soaking Derek and the floor. Derek wiped his face with a towel and gave Stiles a look indicating he was annoyed with him. Stiles laughed, "Haa haa, I got you wet!"
Derek continued. He lathered some shampoo onto his hands and scrubbed Stiles' head. Creating a big soapy mess on Stiles' head. "Your turn, give it a try." Derek insisted. Stiles raised his hands to his head and repeated what Derek had done. "Look Derek, I'm doing it." Stiles chirped. "Yeah, great job buddy." Derek smiled.
Derek filled a cup with water. "Look up." Derek said. Stiles did as he was told and Derek poured the cup of water on Stiles' soapy hair. "Can I do that, Derek?" Stiles asked. "Of course you can." Derek began. Stiles put the cup in the bath water and filled it up. He then looked up and poured it all over his face, completely missing his head. Stiles made grabby hands at Derek. Derek handed Stiles some of the towel so he could wipe his eyes. "I don't like doing that. You do it for me." Stiles begged. Derek took the cup from Stiles and finished washing his hair.
Derek pulled the plug and let the water go down. "Come on out." Derek said. "Stiles stepped out of the tub and got real close to Derek. "What?" Derek asked. "You gotta wrap me up, Derek." Stiles stated. Derek rolled his eyes and pulled Stiles into the towel engulfing him in a cocoon. Stiles waddled out of the bathroom and into Derek's room. He dropped the towel on the floor along with the bathing suite.
"Derek?" Stiles called. Derek turned around and once again Stiles was naked. Derek sighed. "Where are your pajamas, Stiles?" He asked. "I don't know. I thought you had them." Stiles said. "Come on." Derek demanded. Stiles ran past Derek, naked as the day he was born. Derek shook his head and followed Stiles into the bedroom.
Digging through the suitcase Stiles was left with and took out underwear, a white tank top and black shorts. Stiles sat down on the bed pulling his dinosaur underwear on. "Do you like my undies Derek?" Stiles asked, wiggling his butt at Derek. "They're cool." Derek replied. "Thanks, I know." Stiles said mater- of- factly. Stiles continued to dress himself. "Tomorrow after school we can buy you more clothes." Derek said to Stiles. "Alright it's 9:30, bed time." "Five more minutes Derek, please?" Stiles pleaded. "Nope, you have to go right now." Derek said sternly. Stiles hopped under the covers and closed his eyes. Before Derek could even leave the room Stiles called for him. "Derek, I need a night light." Stiles cried. Derek turned the bathroom light on that was connected to his room. "Thank you, Derek." Stiles sighed in content.
"Derek! Derek! Derek! Get up! We have to go to school!" Stiles shouted. Derek moaned and forced himself out of bed. He threw on a hoodie and sweat pants. Looking down at Stiles he saw that Stiles dressed himself. Stiles had on a black t-shirt and grey sweat pants with white sneakers.
Derek headed to the kitchen and poured Stiles a bowl of cereal. Stiles sucked it down like a vacuum. "Can we go now Derek?" Stiles begged. "Alright, alright." Derek grabbed his house keys and lead Stiles out the door.
"Excited?" Derek asked. "Yeah! I'm really, really excited!" Stiles shouted. "Stiles, turn it down. It's still early." Derek groaned. "Okay." Stiles whispered. The whole entire walk to the school Stiles just kept talking and talking and talking.
"But you know Derek, you know. I can count and I know my ABC's and I know the days of the week and I know all the months and the seasons. I can read too." Stiles stated. "Can you?" Derek humored him. "Yeah, I do. Wanna hear it all?" Stiles asked. "No, why don't you save it for your new teachers." Derek insisted. "Okay."
Outside the classroom stood the two boys. "Alright you have a good day. I'll pick you up later, okay?" Derek said. "Here's a folder, a notebook, and some pencils." Derek handed Stiles the supplies. Derek turned around to leave but Stiles called his name. "Derek wait! Don't leave." Stiles begged. "I have to go, Stiles. I'm not aloud to stay with you." Derek said crouching down to Stiles level. "Please don't go, Derek. Please." Stiles whispered. Derek grabbed Stiles and pulled him close. Stiles buried his face in Derek's neck and began to cry. "Hey, hey. No crying Stiles. It's going to be okay. I'll be back later. I promise." Derek consoled. "What if they don't like me, Derek? What if they think I'm weird? What if they don't like dinosaurs or don't think you're cool what if-" Derek cut off Stiles, "Stiles, it's okay. You're going to make lots of friends. And who doesn't like dinosaurs? Stiles, I'll come back for you when it's over okay? Be brave. You can do it." Derek soothed. "Okay, I'll go." Stiles sniveled. "Bye Derek." "I'll see you later." Derek waved watching Stiles walk through the door. The door shut and Derek reached for the handle but stopped himself. He forced himself to turn around. Before leaving he glanced through the classroom window and saw Stiles sitting at a table playing with a few boys. Derek smiled and left.
Derek got home and sat on the couch. Wow, I don't know what to do without Stiles here. Derek thought. Maybe I'll call Scott, nah he's not up yet. Maybe-maybe- I don't know what to do. Derek decided to go grocery shopping.
Strolling through the aisles with a full wagon he bumped into someone. "Oh ma'm I'm so sorry I didn't mean to." Derek apologized. "It's alright." The voice said. Derek looked up and saw a brunette standing there. She had shoulder length, brown, wavy hair; she had large light brown eyes and fair skin. "Hi, I'm Derek." He introduced. "Hi, I'm Audrey." The girl replied. "What a beautiful name." Derek smiled. "Thanks." Audrey blushed. "You're really pretty." Derek said. "You're not too shabby yourself." Audrey giggled. "We should get a drink sometime. When are you free?" Derek asked. "Um how about this Saturday night?" Audrey questioned. "Sounds great. Can I have your number?" Derek asked. "Sure. Hand me your phone." Audrey said. Audrey punched her number into Derek's phone. "See you Saturday night." She winked and walked off.
Derek called up Scott and left him a message. "Bro, I need a huge favor. Saturday night you need to watch Stiles. Please." Derek hung up and went to go pay for the items in his cart.
Derek looked at his watch and the school bell rang. Derek looked at the kids flooding out of the door scanning for Stiles. "Derek!" He heard. Stiles came running head first into Derek giving him a hug. Derek bent down and hugged Stiles back. "I missed you. Did you miss me? What did you do all day? Wait till I tell you about what I did! I had a great day! Did you miss me, Derek? I learned so many new things, you'll never believe it! Mr. Whittemore is the greatest teacher ever! He's so cool! Not as cool as you but so cool. He likes dinosaurs too! Derek!" Stiles shouted all in one breath. "Glad you had a good day, Stiles." Derek smiled. "Let's go get something to eat." Derek said. "Yeah I'm starving." Agreed Stiles. The two of them made their way to the nearest restaurant and talked about how "cool" Mr. Whittemore was.
