December 9th – Derek's birthday surprise

Derek's POV

I woke up feeling great. I don't know why but I haven't felt this great on my birthday since my 15th when my parents surprised me with baseball tickets. I grabbed my phone and I had a tonne of messages from pack all saying happy birthday. I asked them all about how they knew it was my birthday and they all replied

Stiles

With Stiles in mind I eagerly looked at the list,

December 9th – Derek's birthday surprise

God I can't wait to see what he's got planned.

I wait and wait and wait but nothing, not a text, not a call, not a sound. I guess maybe he's given up, that's good right because it means that I don't have to let him down easy anymore. It's a good thing, but why do I feel like I've been punched in the face. I look at my phone and it says I've got a message. A wash of disappointment goes through me when I learn that it's not from Stiles

Come to the warehouse, now, no questions :-)

I put on my shoes and my jacket and head on over to the warehouse. I take a deep breath and I smell the whole pack is here but not Stiles. I didn't bother hiding my disappointment. I walked through the door and then

"SURPRISE" everyone shouted. I put on a happy face but there still was a hint of disappointment on my face when I saw that Stiles wasn't here.

"Thanks guys" I said, "Where's Stiles?" I asked casually.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him today" Scott answered

"Okay" I replied getting a drink

An hour into the party and Stiles still wasn't here and I was just sitting in the corner on my own.

"Hey, you okay?" Lydia asked

"Yeah why wouldn't I be" I asked

"You look like you've been kicked in the shin, not that your friends have thrown you birthday party" She said with a worried look.

"Sorry, I've just been …"

"Thinking about Stiles" she answered for me

"No, why'd you say that" I asked

"I don't know, you just always seem happier when he's around " she answered

"I do?" I asked

"Yeah, Derek I know I've asked you this before but are you sure you don't feel the same for Stiles" she asked.

"Of course not, I mean I like Stiles, he's a really good guy and probably my favourite out of all of you" I said, then realised what I said "Sorry"

"What oh don't apologise, seriously he's my favourite as well, I think he's everyone's favourite" She grinned "Although id never say that to him of course"

The door swung open and revealed Stiles behind it

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late, hey Sourwolf, happy birthday" He shouted walking over to me.

I was angry with him for being late so I didn't say anything and just gave him one of my death stares. I gave up on staring and said, "Where were you?" in a bitter voice.

"Whoa, calm down Sourwolf, I'm late because I was picking up your present" Stiles grinned.

"Stiles, you should never talk about a girl like she's a possession, where are your manners" A girl says from the door. I looked to see who it was.

Cora

"Cora what are you doing here?" I asked giving her a big hug

"While, this young man here" she said pointing at Stiles "rang me up and asked if I wanted to spend my big bros birthday with him, so I said yes"

"You paid for Cora to come here?" I asked Stiles

He nodded

"Thank you" I replied with a genuine, loving smile.

Stiles grinned "your welcome Sourwolf"

"Sourwolf, OMG that is so cute and it suits him perfectly" Cora said squeezing my check. "We are going to get one great and I have a billion embarrassing stories that I could tell you about Derek here" she said looking at Stiles.

"Oh do tell" Stiles answered linking arms with Cora and guiding here to a seat. This is going to end badly.

The party finished and it was just me and Cora in the apartment.

"OMG Derek I missed you so much" she said "oh and I definatly approve, I don't think your going to find anyone as good as Stiles"

"Cora, me and Stiles are just friends" I stated

"Oh really" she looked disappointed "Sorry I just assumed, especially the way he was talking about you"

"What did he say about me?" I asked eagerly.

"Oh a woman never tells, night big bro and happy birthday" she kissed me on the cheek and went to bed. All in all it was an amazing day and the best birthday surprise I've ever gotten
