To start I'm sure there are errors it's 2 in the morning here. I probably should hold off on posting this, but oh well. Also I found it odd not changing between them, I feel it give a broader view of thing when I do. I feel the chapter stand well showing everyone's feelings though. I also was planning on taking this chapter into a more smutty direction but I started writing and we got this. Enjoy.
Derek bent in again after everyone had their look at the mark and kissed him. He had no doubts Stiles would be probably have a few choice words about it. Oh well it felt right to claim his lip in front of god and everyone in the room. Tasting him and his blood in the kiss.
"Oh get a room," Jackson called out sounding half playful about it.
"We have two thank you," Stiles gave in reply when Derek let loose his lips.
"I taking it you're not upset I just kissed you?" Derek asked.
"Considering I think we just had a werewolf wedding it pretty sure it only fitting."
Derek wasn't sure what to say. He was pretty sure Stiles was correct. Derek hadn't taken the time to really think about this. Derek decide to order pizza for everyone since he figured it called for a celebration. Scott and Alison went to get pop. What better way for a bunch of teen wolf and human to celebrate than with lots of pizza and pop.
Derek answered the door when the delivery guy showed up. "Did you really order eight pizzas?" The guy asked, Derek figured they must have gotten prank calls lately.
"Yes, were having a bit of a celebration for a minor victory," Derek said opening the door so the man could see everyone.
"Oh okay then."
The man said rattling off the amount owed. Derek paid him and took the pizzas. "So how are you going to tell your dad? I mean you did practically get married without his permission." Lydia asked.
"Umm..." Was all Stiles could say. He hadn't really thought about it. Most married people shared a bed. Was that really likely in this case. For one Stiles wasn't eighteen yet and he didn't ask permission. Not that this was something to ask it for it just is.
"We'll figure that out when the time comes," Derek said, "No doubt it will probably go over like a turd in a punch bowl but what can we do. Hiding it seem worse to me."
"What if he puts you in jail or something?" Jackson asked.
"Or shoots you?" Scott added.
"I don't know whats going to happen but really thing about this. Would you see him more mad now or more mad after Stiles turns eighteen and he finds out?"
"I bet after the hiding it for mouths." Alison said, "Dad always seem more forgiving the soon I tell him stuff then if I hide it." She added looking at Scott. That mess was still blowing over but Chris was dealing with it.
"Maybe Alison dad could come help explain?" Scott added.
"And that help how?" Jackson asked.
"Wouldn't Deacon be a better choice he more pro us and keep his calm well." Issac commented.
"I kind of like that idea," Stiles added, "He's not been the most forth coming about this with us but he's still been trying to point us down the right path."
"It's worth a shot," Boyd and Erica said in stereo.
Derek showed his agree meant by pulling out his phone and dialing.
"Hello Derek"
"Hello Doc how do you feel about help explain all this to Mr. Stilinski with Stiles and I?"
"I think I could do that. I assuming you told Stiles then and you're not just going to drop this on him in front of his father."
"Yes and I just marked him in front of the pack."
"Well that was an unexpected turn of events. I wasn't even sure you'd know what to do."
"I made a lot of call this morning after I nearly hurt him."
"I'm sorry Derek if I had thought thing would go there I would have told you."
"Its fine I didn't and we're okay. Just trying to figure a lot of stuff out."
"I would imagine. When would you like to do this."
"Probably when he gets home. I would say soon is better all things considered. Since even the pack member are looking it this like a marriage."
"That a good way to look at this. Very well call me when he gets home and I'll come over."
"Thank you," Derek said. "Yes thank you," Stiles call
"Bye boys behave in the mean time." Dr. Deacon said hanging up.
"So are we going to eat or just set here enjoying the smell," Jackson said.
"Dig in" Derek announce. It was nice Derek hadn't had this in a long time a real pack. One that could eat a meal together. Rather than being at each others throats, literally and figuratively. They talk everyone enjoying the company. Even Jackson was laughing, not that he was a bad guy. He just doesn't try hard a being likable. They all set there after the food was gone and talked.
Derek made them all leave at nine it was a school night and he doubted their parents would like them being out any later. Melissa wouldn't mind she'd figure it was pack business. God would she judge him for this he thought. He didn't have a great re-pore with the woman and he didn't want anything to damage what little he had.
"Alison, Scott could you hold back a minute" Derek said as they were all leaving.
"Yeah, whats up?" Alison asked as the last of the pack had drifted out the door.
"Could you hold off on telling your father about this," Derek said, "I know he'll understand but..."
"I get it you'd like to tell him," Alison said.
Derek smiles at her understanding. "In person wouldn't kill you either Derek. It actually make you look better in his eyes." She added they left.
"Now what," Stiles asked.
"We wait." Derek said setting down turning on the TV.
"HOW can you be so calm? I so worried he'll freak out about all this." Stiles said.
"What choice do we have Stiles?" Derek said pulling the now pacing body to the couch and into his lap where Stiles had set most of the night.
"Derek don't he finds us like this it won't help anything," Stiles said pulling away.
"Stiles set down pacing isn't going to help anything, besides you'll hurt your leg," Derek told him, "How is it anyways you haven't said much about it."
"It's sore but I'll be fine." Stiles said still standing.
Derek once again pulled him to the couch but this time he set him down next to him. Stiles stayed put this time. Fidgeting with his hand the entire time. Thankfully Stiles dad had gotten off early. Derek called Deacon hearing the cruiser pulling in.
"Whats up Stiles you look worried," Mr. Stilinski said after he'd come in.
"Nothing much dad just need to talk to you about something." Stiles said bouncing his good leg.
"About what I've never seen you so worked up." The Sheriff said looking at Derek with suspicion.
"It can wait for a few more minutes dad I promise it not that bad." Stiles said it but didn't believe it. His dad had pushed for answers getting worked up till Deacon arrived.
"Hello Sheriff my I come in?" Dr. Deacon asked.
"Now's not a good time for whatever you need Doctor."
"It's fine dad we asked him to come and help explain whats going on." Stiles said, his dad looked at his worried son unsure what the vet could have to do with it.
"Would you like me to just talk or would you prefer to tell him and I just add what I can?" Dr. Deacon asked.
"Mr. Stilinski, I want to start by saying I'm not human," Derek began, "I'm a werewolf."
"Derek that a good one" Mr. Stilinski said with a laugh till Derek looked at him. Derek had let the red glow slip into his eyes.
"Shit you're not joking are you," Mr. Stilinski said.
"No he's not," Dr. Deacon and Stiles said at the same time.
"He not a danger to you or Stiles," Deacon had added, "He's been protecting Stiles and pretty much the entire town for anything abnormal."
"Well that makes me feel a bit better. You've known?" Mr. Stilinski said looking at Stiles who could only nod.
"There's more than that though." Derek added.
"Please do tell," The Sheriff said with a bit of venom.
Derek wasn't sure how to tell him. What to say to make this okay. "We mated," Stiles said it like a falling stone.
"Your what?" anger in voice, "What the FUCK did you do to my son you son of bitch." Sheriff Stilinski was point at Derek.
"Calm down sheriff," Dr. Deacon said, "It's not an active choose it as nothing to do with what they have or haven't done. It's fate. It just means their 'soul mates' for a lack of a more understandable word."
"How in the hell did this happen is this because I let you into my home," Stiles father said, "You son of a bitch he my baby. I trusted you."
"I swear Sheriff I haven't done anything with him. Not like what you're thinking." Derek said feeling shameful.
"Sheriff Stilinski CALM yourself and open your ears," Deacon told him fiddling with a coin, "This was started before they even met fate had its hand's in this for a long time. Derek didn't do this. Nor did Stiles. Derek even asked me if he could break this."
"I just don't understand how something like this happens. He's loved Lydia Martin for so long and now he's bound him." The Sheriff said his voice sound like he would cry.
"I'll tell you what I've told them. Their like two sides of the same coin forever bound and unbreakable. This was chosen for them, not by them, and not by any of us in this room." Deacon said spinning the coin on the table.
"Dad it's okay he hasn't hurt me, he hasn't made me do anything, he's done everything he could to keep this a simple as he could for me. The only thing letting him help me caused was making us see this. But even Dr. D said it was only a matter of time."
"I just... it's a lot to take in. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this." Mr. Stilinski said voice now quivering on the edge of tears.
"Let's go into the kitchen and take some time away from this." Deacon said getting up.
Derek understood it was only this morning before the marking he felt the same way. Distressed, lost, confused, just general turmoil. Got he'd have to fess up to that soon enough. It was nearly a half an hour Derek and Stiles had set silent on the couch waiting. Finally they returned.
"Are you really okay with this Stiles?" Mr. Stilinski asked.
"After we figured it out this morning no I wasn't, but now that I've had time to get over the shock of it all yes. It feels right. I mean we don't really know each other well. I understand it like marriage and I think two people should know each other before something like that. But this is also different we're going to have to work backwards a bit. But I now that I see it I couldn't even see myself with Lydia now."
Stiles father set in silence think of what to say. "I get you two didn't do anything to cause this. It's not easy. I'm guess you two know that though. I don't want this to keep Stiles from doing anything he wants to do. He my son I want him to get everything life can give him."
"I promise to do everything I can to give him anything he want and everything he needs." Derek said. Derek could tell from the look on Sheriff Stilinski's face he believed him.
"Normally I think a father should make a speak about how if you hurt him and my guns. But from what the good Doctor told me you couldn't even if you tried." Mr. Stilinski said, "Also there is no need to tell me about the bite mark you put on him the doctor already told me. I'm a bit upset you didn't wait till I could see it since he told me what it means. But he also told me you could have hurt not meaning to if you hadn't."
Derek felt some relief, "I should have called you and had you come home to explain sooner."
"No you shouldn't have there was enough upset without his. You might have done something you couldn't have fixed if he had come he mad." Dr. D Said.
"It okay Derek I'll get over it. Just promise me you'll make him an honest man someday soon. In the eyes of the law that is. Since I do understand by your law you did that. I really prefer you two slept apart for a while just till it really sinks in." Mr. Stilinski said tapping his head.
"I think I'm going to leave now that feeling have calmed here." Dr Deacon said getting up.
"Thank you for trying so hard to get this mind of mine to wrap around all this." Mr. Stilinski said standing shacking his hand.
"I think I'm going to help Stiles up to bed. His bed and I'll go to bed in mine." Derek said helping Stiles up.
"Thank you Derek I know you don't have to oblige me on this so truly thank you." Mr. Stilinski said with a smile.
"After what we've put you through tonight it's the least I can do." Derek Replied.
Derek helped Stiles up the stairs and to his room. "Sorry Derek but could I get me a snack I think I'd like a pain pill." Stiles said rubbing his leg.
Derek smiled and left the room. As he made his way down the stairs he heard the low weeps. He seen Mr. Stilinski setting on the couch. Derek tried not to let him know he was there. Derek made it to the kitchen and back out into the dinning room. Mr. Stilinski noticed him. He didn't even try to hide the tears on his face. Derek didn't know what to say he knew he was part of the reasons for the tears.
"I'm sorry if I could I would change this sir," Derek told him after standing in his gaze.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. Really it no something you can change Derek. I just wish his mother was her she would have dealt with it better. She would have helped me deal with it better. I know my minds holding a person judgments because he's all I have left and the shock of it. Really I know your family now but I'm not sure how I feel about you. But almost positive she would have approved of someone so willing to protect him."
"I wish Laura was here. I think she would have been able to help to. She was good at that helping people. I've spent to long keep people away to know much about helping them. I didn't want anyone close enough to me. I didn't ever want to feel like I did the day of the fire. But I seen today it's foolish to hold people away from you. You really only hurt yourself that way. I really think she would have like you sir. Oddly I know she would have loved Stiles, he reminds me a lot of my mom so full of energy and wanting to help other. She was always the one Laura looked up too."
"What really happened to her Derek?" Mr. Stilinski asked.
"My uncle killed her to become alpha so he could heal his wounds." Derek told him.
"Did you kill him is that how you became alpha?" Mr. Stilinski asked.
"Yes but not just in vengeance he was the one killing all those people," Derek said, "Sadly he hasn't stayed dead though."
"What?" Mr. Stilinski said looking worried.
"Yeah, apparently there are ways for us to come back from the dead. He left town for now though he hasn't shown any signs of killing anyone again. But he even tries and I'll end him."
"Did a mountain lion really do that to Stiles leg?"
"No, it was the man you found. I killed him because he tried to hurt Stiles again."
"I see. Did that pack have something to do with his body going missing to protect you?"
"Yes and no. Not my pack, there is a pack of alphas in town they took him to put him to proper rest. The burned him that night."
"Well know all that I'll have to find a reason to move it to a cold case file."
"Sorry for making your job harder."
"No I'm just sorry we found him altogether. It would have been easier if you'd hide him better."
"I didn't they hide him."
"A whole packs of alphas left him so poorly hidden. Fucking idiots."
"Agreed. I better get this to Stiles before he gets grumpy from the pain."
"Okay, night son," The tears still shown on the edges of his eyes but the ones on his face had dried and he wasn't sobbing now.
"Goodnight," Was all Derek could manage.
The son part had caught him off guard it had been so long since he had heard those words. He got back to Stiles room. Stiles looked like the pain must have been bad.
"What took you."
"I got down there and your dad was crying. I ended up talking to him for a bit. He's missing your mom. Says she would have handled this better would have helped him."
"Oh man I hate seeing him like that maybe I should go talk to him."
"I think he'll be alright Stiles. I really think he just need some rest and some time to think," Derek said, "On a plus he called me son. I'm not sure how to feel about it, its been too long since anyone called me that."
"Hey it a good sign that he's accepting it."
"Yeah."
Stiles ate the toast and took is pill and settled in to the blankets. Derek wanted to stay with him. But he would do what Stiles father asked. Derek wasn't sure if he was ready to call him his father yet. Derek decide to check on the man again. He was beginning to dozed on the couch.
"Hey come on you'll sleep better in your bed," Derek said helping him up to his feet.
"Stiles is normally the one doing this," He gave Derek a sleepy smile and head up the stair.
Derek returned to the guest room to get some rest. He laid down wishing he had his mate next to him. Wish Stiles was filling his arms. It was harder than he thought not having him there. Eventually Derek drifted to sleep.
