After his shower, Derek decided that instead of calling stiles he was going to go visit him. Grabbing his keys and shoes, he rushed downstairs yelling to his mom that he would be back in a little while. Pulling out of his driveway in his black Camaro, Derek speed all the way to stiles house. He was anxious to see him since it had been since Friday that he had last saw him and he felt that it was too long to wait for Monday.
Finding Stiles home was easy because of the big blue jeep that was in the driveway. Derek wondered that if they entered into a relationship if stiles would let him fix up his jeep because he knew he would not want another car. There had to be some significant value to stiles for keeping the jeep.
Making his way up the driveway, Derek noticed that for only two men living in this house it was very well kept. The paint was a fresh light blue color with the shutters being white it reminded him of the American dream house just without the white picket fences. Coming up to the door, Derek knocked and waited to see if stiles would come open the door for him. Listening in he could hear stiles cursing as he rushed down the stairs to open the door.
Jerking the door open, stiles was surprised to see Derek there waiting for him. "Hey what are you doing here?" Stiles said in a soft voice.
"Can I come in?" Derek said while looking Sties over, noticing the nervous thumping of his foot Stiles probably was not aware of.
Stiles nodded and moved aside to let Derek in. Closing the door behind them, stiles moved them into the living room. "So why are you here?" Wringing his fingers, stiles let out a sign and sank down in the loveseat while Derek set next to him close enough to touch but not enough to actually be touching Stiles.
"I wanted to check on you and make sure you were doing okay," stiles looked at him as if he knew Derek was leaving something out. "I wanted to visit because I missed you. I had to come see you," Derek said almost desperately.
Stiles smiled and flung himself around Derek wrapping him in a hug. "I missed you too. I have been stressing out so bad that I was starting to feel overwhelmed and scared," Stiles said with a watery smile.
Derek looked a stiles with a concerned expression. He had hoped it was not this bad but he was staring to realize that Stiles was not only dealing with the submissive bond but also the mating bond even though he did not know about wolves at the moment. Derek decided that no matter what he was going to spend every possible moment with Stiles to make sure he is doing okay and not getting freaked out by something he has no control over. "What has got your freaking your pretty little head off?"
Stiles smiled softly at the endearment, "Well school has been crazy with the project and homework and I can't seem to get the hang of physics. Then on top of that Scott and Jackson have been bulling me more often than before because Mrs. Taylor gave Jackson detention for making comments about me being gay," Stiles said while looking up at Derek and holding back tears. Derek pulled him in tighter and started to rock them back and forth. " Then today I was out at park just getting some fresh air and going for my daily run and they were there with some of their lacrosse buddies. I thought they would leave me alone because we were in public and I am the sheriff's son but that did not deter them. They started to beat me up and were calling me horrible names that I don't want to repeat. The only reason they stopped was because a couple had saw what was happening and threatened to call the police," Stiles broke off. The look on Derek's face of pure anger and hatred had stiles breaking down and sobbing into Derek's shirt wetting it through.
Derek did not mind that stiles was crying on him. He was just happy that Stiles trusted him enough to take care of him and to make everything better. Derek was going to make those two pay for what they did to his Stiles.
When stile's sobs quieted down to hiccups, Derek turned him to where he could see his whole face. "Let me see the bruises," Derek demanded. He wanted to see how much damage they had did to his boy.
Not wanting to get in trouble for not following an order, stiles slowly raised his shirt up and over his head. Disgusted by what he knew was there, stiles turned his face away from Derek's gaze afraid that he would find stiles disgusting and ugly and not want to be there with him anymore.
Derek could smell stiles disgust and self-loathing. He needed to put a stop to this before stiles got crazy ideas in his head. "Stiles look at me," waiting for stiles to meet his gaze Derek started rubbing soothing circles in his back. Finally when stiles looked at him Derek continued to talk, "There is nothing you have to be worried about because I am going to take care of you."
Stiles smiled and hugged Derek harder but had to let go shortly because he was in pain.
"When does your dad get off?"
"He works the night shift today so he won't be back until in the morning," stiles said shyly. "Why?"
"Because you are going to go upstairs and soak in the bath while I cook you some dinner and when that is over I am going to rub some pain reliever cream on your bruises and make sure you are good to go before I leave you tonight," Derek saw that Stiles was about to protest and said "You can't stop me from taking care of you so don't even think about arguing with me because I will win and you will just get in trouble for talking back. So anything you want to say?" Derek said with a look on his face that dared stiles to defy him
Stiles being stiles decided to reply back, "What if I want to get in trouble? Will you spank like you mean it?" Stiles said with a smirk on his face.
Derek just playfully growled and turned stiles towards the stairs and gave him a little push.
Stiles decided to take it up a notch and wiggle his butt at Derek while smirking. Derek just laughed and while stiles was making his way to the stairs he slapped him on his butt.
Stiles turned around with an angry look on his face but the laughter in his eyes showed Derek that he was only playing.
When stiles was safely upstairs and in the bathtub, Derek decided to see what he could make for dinner. Pulling out some ground turkey and all the fixings for burgers, Derek set out to make stiles' dinner. While he was cooking, Derek made a phone call to his dad and mom.
"Hey can I speak to you and mom?"
"What's going on son?" Derek's dad said worriedly.
"Nothing I just need to give you guys a head's up," Waiting to continue until he heard his mom by the phone Derek started to tell them what happened. "Well I came to make sure stiles was okay and I found out that two of my betas decided that it was okay to pick on and bully my mate today while he was out in the park just because he is gay. So I wanted to let you know that I won't be there for dinner and I might be coming in late because I want to make sure stiles is okay before I leave him alone."
"Okay son that's fine. What are you going to do about these two betas of yours," Derek's mom said with concern in her voice.
"I am going to show them what happens when they mess with the alpha to be mate," Derek said furiously "I am going to make an example out of them so that none of the pack ever gets the idea that it's okay to hurt my mate."
"That's great son. I am proud that you are already taking care of your mate and willing to fight for them. You will be a great alpha when the time comes for you to take over," Derek's dad said with pride.
Derek could her his mom nodding along with his dad. "I got to go, dinner is almost ready and I need to go get stiles."
"Okay see you when you get in sweetie," Derek's mom said softly.
Ending the phone call, Derek moving over to the stove and turned the burgers off before they were burnet. Plating everything onto two plates, Derek moved all the food to the table that was in the kitchen. Just when he was finishing putting everything on the table stiles made his way into the kitchen. Derek motioned for stiles to sit opposite him. "How are you feeling?" Derek said with concern lacing his voice.
Grinning stiles told Derek, "I am doing better. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder and wetting your shirt. Oh! Thanks for dinner too. It smells so good."
Derek nodded and started making his food. Being that it was traditional that the pack wait until the alpha got food and started to eat, stiles waited to make his burger until Derek took his first bite so that he wouldn't upset his alpha. This practice had to do with the alpha's wolf being the overall ruler and getting what he wanted when he wanted it especially from his mate.
Finishing up dinner, stiles leaned up their mess and they made their way upstairs to stiles room so that Derek could put the pain reliever cream on stiles and help stiles sleep tonight. "Lay on your back and take off your shirt. You are going to have to sleep without a shirt when you use this cream," Derek said while waiting for stiles to follow his orders. Satisfied with his work Derek started applying the cream, sensing stiles pain Derek started talking to him to get his mind off of it. "So what do you do for fun?"
"I read a lot, run, study, and play videogames," figuring that since Derek asked a question then he had the right to ask one. Stiles asked Derek, "What is your favorite thing to do with your family?"
" I really love going out into the woods and playing tag with my family because it reminds me so much of when I was a little boy and my family would spend hours just playing in the woods until mom called us to come eat," Derek said with a fond smile.
This moment right here was going down as one of stiles best moments because he was so used to seeing Derek with a frown on his face, and so serious. Right now he had a breathtaking smile on his face and so relaxed and carefree that stiles vowed to see that look on his face as many times as he could.
Continuing with the 20 questions until stiles could barely keep his eyes open, stiles learned that Derek loved the color red, hates mushrooms, had a tattoo even though he refused to show stiles, loved children and wanted to have a lot later on in life, hated ice cream which caused stiles to revoke his friendship card, loved hanging out with his family, planned on going to college to become an architect, and loved batman which caused stiles to make him his best friend again.
Derek learned that stiles hated the dark because it reminded him of death, he loved just about any movie but the notebook, batman was his hero, he wanted to go to school to become a history teacher, he loved any kind of food as long as it was not to spicy, and that he always wanted to visit new York to go to a Mets game.
Seeing that stiles was having a hard time keeping his eyes open, Derek tucked him into bed and softly kissed his forehead and waited for stiles to fall asleep.
Falling asleep with a smile on his face, stiles felt secure and safe which had not happen in a long time.
Waiting until stiles fell into a deep sleep, Derek slipped out of his window after kissing stiles again on the forehead and softly whispering for him to have good dreams. Hearing that stiles was still sleep, Derek made his way home.
