Chapter Text

Stiles was back in Beacon Hills after 6 years. He brought his best friend with him though.

During his time in the FBI, he had reconnected with a childhood friend. Said friend was also an FBI agent.

Her specialty was knowing medical stuff. Physical and mental. Along with basic FBI training.

She also knew magic. She was from Beacon Hills so it wasn't that surprising. She helped Stiles with his magic.

Selena ‘Lilith’ Flanagan. She ended up being partnered with him. The code name Lilith was given.

Stiles went by the name Mitch nowadays. His code name though was ‘Lucifer’. He was also given his name.

Lucifer and Lilith were known throughout the supernatural world as a match made in hell.

Lilith could torture anything out of anyone. Lucifer could make anyone do anything he wanted.

Agent Stilinski and Agent Flanagan were known in the human world as the best agents the world has seen.

Agent Stilinski could get information out of anyone just by talking. Agent Flanagan knew how to pick apart someone's mind.

Selena and Stiles were just normal people, however. They had their own nicknames for each other.

Mischief/Mitch was the dumb kid who always got himself in dangerous situations.

Luna/Lena was the kid who always back-talked adults and somehow got away with it. (She hurt their feelings)

Anyway. Stiles was back in Beacon Hills because his father all but begged. The sheriff also liked Selena so she came too.

This mess started when Selena decided they needed to have some fun and dragged him out to the best club in town.

Selena put on her favorite red dress that hugged her body just right and made Stiles wear a red button-up to match.

They definitely looked like a match made in hell. Selena had her red hair in a bun and Stiles had a nice beard going.

They used a nice black and red sports car Selena had rented to drive to the club. Selena didn't trust herself to drive.

At the club, they ended up having about 15 shots between them. Being magical meant alcohol didn't stick well.

They got thrown out of the club when Stiles intervened on some guy putting their hands on their girlfriend.

Selena thought the situation was hilarious. Stiles couldn't help but laugh with her at the stupidity.

As they were walking back to the car, the pack spotted them. They were dressed to go inside.

The pack was Isaac, Erica, Boyd, Cora, Lydia, Jackson, and Ethan. Selena burst out in giggles.

Stiles turned to glare at her. Selena just laughed harder. Stiles couldn't help but laugh with her.

“What are the fucking chances?!” Selena wheezes. Her normally light Irish accent had grown with each shot.

Stiles was really no better, get enough shots in him and no one can understand him through his Polish accent.

“You have to see Derek” Erica instructed. Selena nodded but couldn't stop laughing for the life of her.

“This is like the worst timing. You just beat the shit out of someone and you haven't even had the chance to shave” Selena stammered at Stiles.

Stiles laughed harder. The pack looked at the two like they were insane. No one blamed them.

After a few minutes, they finally calmed down. “Here’s the address. Go now” Erica directed.

The pack got in their cars and left. Stiles and Selena stayed there for another few minutes to process what happened.

They eventually got in the car and drove to the address Erica had given them. It was in the woods.

The address led to a gigantic house in the middle of the preserve. Derek must have rebuilt the pack house.

They knocked on the door while they argued about the possibility of Stiles having a concussion.

Peter opened the door with his signature creepy smile. “It’s lovely to see you two again” He stated in his odd way.

“Keep it in your pants uncle bad touch. We got told to be here” Selena snarled. She didn't like Peter much.

“As nice as ever are we. Follow me” Peter sighed dramatically. He led them through the big house and into a living room.

Everyone was there. One side of the room was the Hale pack and the other was the McCall pack.

“Oh goodie an intervention” Stiles joked. Selena snorted beside him. Stiles smiled awkwardly at the packs.

Nowadays the McCall pack consisted of Scott, Allison, Kira, Maila, Liam, Theo, Corey, and Mason.

The Hale pack was Derek, Peter, Boyd, Erica, Lydia, Isaac, Jackson, Ethan, Parrish, and Cora.

“Why are you back?” Derek asks bluntly.

“My dad kept asking and I needed a break from work” Stiles answered honestly.

“Who is she?” Maila wondered.

“This is my best friend and co-worker Selena” Stiles informed.

Selena gave the packs (except Peter) a small wave and a smile. They eyed her suspiciously.

“What did she mean by you beat the shit out of someone?” Erica asked. Everyone looked at Stiles.

“Some guy was putting his hands on his girlfriend. I stepped in. He got his ass kicked” Stiles summarized.

Some of the pack members on each side clearly find it hard to believe. Derek however, just dawns a small smile.

“Didn't you go to school with us? You once threatened to break a kid's nose because they tried to take a picture of me seizing” Erica stated to Selena.

“Sounds like me” Selena replied. She tried to block out a lot of her high school days but she was kinda violent.

“I remember that. You followed through” Stiles adds. Erica smiles softly at the two. She was still working through stuff.

“How long do you guys plan to stay?” Scott wondered somewhat angrily. It broke the nice atmosphere.

“We have no idea. At least a month?” Stiles guessed. Scott didn't look too happy but bit his tongue.

“Listen it's late we're going to go, here are our personal numbers” Stiles reasoned putting a few cards on the table.

No one made a move to stop them. The two nodded and left the way they came, it was a bit difficult.

The agents were staying at the house Selena owned near the edge of the woods. It was fancy but not too big.

Stiles had stayed there a lot throughout his life. He had his own room that he had personally decorated.

They used to play Mario Kart for hours. It was nice to be able to play without worry of a noise complaint.

In the garage lay the instruments the two used to play every day. That's right, they had a band.

Stiles plays the guitar, drums, or piano. He also sings. Selena plays the guitar and the drums.

Stiles was in the garage looking at his old guitar. Selena, now in PJs, joined him in looking.

“You think you can still play?” Selena teased. Stiles scoffed. “Of course, I even found the music book” He reported.

“Wanna give it a go in the morning?” Selena inquired. “You're on, but I'm tired as fuck” Stiles confessed.

Selena laughed and they talked more about their dumb high school days.

Eventually, Stiles gave in and went to bed.

Chapter Text

The next morning Stiles took a shower and shaved.

He didn't dress up too much but nowadays that meant a T-shirt and jeans.

He came out of his room when the smell of bacon hit his nose. Selena was in the kitchen.

“Hallajuh you finally shaved. I ordered breakfast because we haven't shopped for food yet” Selena reported.

They talked as they demolished the breakfast. Once she was done, Selena left to get dressed.

Stiles busied himself by cleaning up the house. It was more dusty than anything but he was bored.

Selena helped him clean once she was dressed. They were interrupted by Stiles’ phone ringing.

“What's up?” Stiles wondered.

“There’s a pack meeting today at 6 you should come. Both of you” Boyd announced.

“We’ll be there” Stiles responded with a shrug towards Selena.

Selena just shrugged and nodded.

Boyd didn't say anything else and hung up. Stiles just put his phone down and went back to cleaning.

After a half hour of cleaning, they decided to go grab groceries. They took a black SUV Selena owned.

Stiles was the main cook in the house so he took charge of what to grab. Selena focused on snacks.

They hauled their carts to the front and paid. Selena paid and they went home.

When they got home Erica was waiting at the door. Erica helped them bring the groceries in.

“You're just in time for band practice, wanna watch?” Selena offered to Erica.

“You guys have a band?” Erica asked. Selena nodded.

“Had, have, whatever. I can't promise you’ll like what we sing but the offers there” Selena explained.

Erica agreed and they put away the groceries and then went into the garage to practice.

Stiles pulled his old music book from where he hid it before he left.

A song that Stiles will deny is for Derek (but absolutely is) Is the song Erica chose for them to sing.

Selena took her place on the drums and Stiles grabbed his guitar. They got the song ready and started.

I could be soft and sweet
I could be hard and loud
I could be anything
You ever need somehow

Why don't you hear me sing
Out from the lost and found

I could be yours
I could be yours
I could be yours

Why don't you try on me
Why don't you take me home
I'll match the color scheme
Of your bedroom walls

Oh, take a dose of me
It doesn't hurt at all

I could be yours
I could be yours
I could be yours

Oh god I'd benefit
From your sweet tenderness

Thank god it could have been
Cause nothing comes from it

That'd be a helpful thought
If I could remember it, but

I could be yours
I could be yours
I could be yours

(All Song credits to Hozier. The song is I Could Be Yours, I highly recommend it😙)

Stiles sets his guitar down next to him.

“You chose one of our tamest songs” Stiles informs Erica.

“Could I hear a stronger one?” Erica wonders.

“Next time for sure. How about a movie before the pack meeting?” Stiles offers instead.

Erica agrees and they settle on the couch and argue about what movie to watch.

It's half past five when the credits of the second movie start to roll.

They took Selena's car. Stiles slightly suspected Erica just wanted an excuse to be back the next day.

Selena spent the ride trying to find a way to explain their songs.

“Usually our songs are about hot people and how they're super hot” Selena summarizes.

Erica chuckled at that.

“You're not wrong but how can I not write about that? Have you seen people in this town!” Stiles exclaimed.

They talked about how unfairly good genetics the town had most of the time for the rest of the ride.

When they got to the pack house they had moved on to arguing about twilight.

“I’m just saying your life is just like Bella Swans!” Selena exclaims.

“No, no, no. Fuck that I am not Bella fucking Swan!!” Stiles yells.

Erica is cackling behind them.

They get out of the car and Erica knocks on the door.

“So, I guess you're team Jacob” Selena teases.

“You asshole” Stiles sighs with an angry look.

“I mean I can guess why with your whole thing you got with grumpy” Selena mutters.

Stiles turns around and glares at her.

Selena smiles and takes off running to the back of the house.

“You fucker get back here” Stiles yells as he runs after her.

Selena hops over the small fenced part of the yard. Stiles is quickly behind her.

Selena jumps on the shed and runs onto the roof.

“Haha, I’ve got the high ground!” Selena exclaims.

Stiles jumps from a chair onto the roof.

“Oh shit!” Selena yelps. She runs to the other side of the roof and jumps off into a roll.

Selena runs off into the forest. Stiles jumps off the roof and follows her.

Erica, who had witnessed the entire thing, was watching to the side with Cora, who opened the door.

A few minutes later Selena comes running back to the house and trips on a rock, falling over.

“Alright, I give up! I'm sorry” Selena huffs. Stiles nods and helps her up.

“What the fuck was that?” Cora wonders. Erica nods in agreement.

“Little training thing we do sometimes” Stiles explains.

Cora just shakes her head and leads them inside into the main living room.

The entire Hale pack was looking at them strangely. They just took a seat.

Selena coughs to cover a laugh and Stiles glares at her. Selena holds her hands up in surrender.

“Sorry about the whole running after each other thing” Stiles apologizes.

“I'm just surprised you can run like that” Jackson remarks. Lydia kicks him and glares.

“It’s fine. The pack does it too” Derek assures.

“We were just about to choose what to order for food. Any idea?” Erica inquired.

“There's a great dinner called Mary’s that delivers” Stiles pointed out.

Everyone offered up ideas but they ended up agreeing on Mary’s. Erica had eaten there and vouched for it.

While they waited for food everyone conversed in the living room.

“So why did you catch a ride with Selena and Stiles?” Cora wonders.

“I went to talk to them and ended up watching their band practice and a couple of movies” Erica explains.

“I’m sorry band practice? You guys have a band?!” Cora gasped.

“Yeah. And they're actually really good!” Erica replies.

“I wanna hear you guys” Cora beamed.

“Come over whenever we’re free. I'll even let you pick the song we play” Stiles offers.

“I wanna hear you sing” Isaac chimes in.

“The offer stands for anyone, just next time Cora gets to pick” Stiles adds.

“So what's your band name?” Lydia wonders.

“Coven of the Crescent” Stiles responds.

“That's a cool name for a band. What do you guys play?” Cora asks.

“I play guitar, drums, or piano and sing. She plays the drums or guitar” Stiles Informs.

“I sing if I'm drunk enough too” Selena adds with a smile. Stiles nods in agreement.

“So, the pack does this thing sometimes where it's basically tag/hide and seek. You guys in?” Cora offers.

“Uh yeah. Can we bring snacks?” Stiles wonders. The agents share a sinister smile.

“I'm slightly scared but yes” Cora admits. Erica smiles in amusement.

They converse until the food arrives. After the food was wolfed down everyone got ready for the game.

It was already dark outside and the light of the half-moon was the only guide.

Isaac and Erica were chosen as the seekers.

The rules were everyone hid and if you were spotted you could try to run but it rarely worked.

Stiles took off as soon as the seekers howled. It gave him 5 minutes.

Stiles grew to know the forest when he started learning magic.

He hides in a cave that is tucked away from paths and mostly unknown.

He used magic to hide his scent, which was not cheating btw.

A few seconds later Derek comes rushing in.

“Oh. I didn't know anyone knew this place existed” Derek confessed.

A loud howl marked the start of the hunt.

“I found it back when I started using magic. Now I use it to mediate occasionally” Stiles explained.

“I didn't smell you, did you block the scent?” Derek inquires.

“Ding ding ding. I think it fair as they unfairly have super smell in the first place” Stiles claimed.

“You're right. Maybe we can add that as a rule next time” Derek agreed with a soft smile.

“I like your smile. I haven't seen it much but it's nice, I like it” Stiles babled.

A branch crushing in the distance causes Stiles to jump into Derek.

Derek just smiles and puts a finger in front of his mouth as a sign to be quiet.

Stiles puts up a magical sight barrier. They watch as Erica walks past them confused.

Derek nods once Erica is out of earshot. Stiles smiles.

“Sorry for being jumpy. I'm kind of restless being back here” Stiles admits.

“I don't mind. I can think of worse things than you jumping into my arms” Derek said without thinking.

Stiles blushes furiously. Derek’s mouth falls open as he realizes what he said. Stiles laughs.

“Don't worry, I know you didn't think before you spoke. I'm the king of it” Stiles assures.

Stiles grabs Derek’s hand to reassure him. Derek just smiles.

“Found you!” Erica exclaims without looking at the scene.

Derek drops Stiles’ hand as he looks at Erica. Stiles smiles awkwardly.

Erica realizes what she interrupted and looks like she's about to apologize but Stiles takes off running past her.

Derek does the same while Erica is distracted with Stiles.

Erica groans in displeasure. Stiles laughs as he runs.

Stiles just runs endlessly into the forest without a destination.

After a few minutes, he recognizes his surroundings as the path to the Nematon.

He continues the path and a few feet away lies the Nematon.

Stiles hasn't been here since a few days before his eighteenth birthday. It was different.

The Nematon was slowly regrowing into a healthy tree. The area around it changed with it.

Stiles touched the tree and felt the land try to connect with him. Distantly he could hear Erica call for him.

He removed his hand and ran back into the forest. Time worked differently on the path.

Stiles ran into Erica who informed him that he was the last one left. They went back to the house together.

Everyone congratulated him on being the last one left. Selena eyed him suspiciously like she knew something.

Everyone stayed for a bit longer before people started to retire to their rooms.

Selena and Stiles left with the promise that they would be back.

When the agents were back home Selena turned to him.

“What happened in the forest tonight?” Selena asked. She always knew.

“I touched the Nematon and kind of had a moment with Derek” Stiles confessed. Selena motioned for him to go on.

“I found the Nematon and touched it for like a second then ran” Stiles explains. Selena does the motion again.

“Me and Derek hid together and I accidentally jumped into his arms and he said he could think of worse things” Stiles rushed out.

“And we kind of held hands and I said I liked his smile” Stiles adds quickly.

“He is totally into you dude” Selena proclaimed with a big smile. Stiles shook his head.

“A man who doesn't like touch and doesn't smile a lot lets you hold his hands and smiles at you. He likes you” Selena announces.

Stiles’ face turns a bright red and he walks off to his room to escape. Selena laughs at his flusteredness.

When Stiles finally sleeps that night green eyes and a soft smile haunt his dreams.

Chapter Text

Stiles woke up feeling restless. It's how he's been waking up this entire visit. The events of last night are fueling the fire.

Stiles turned to look at the time on his phone, 6 am, God damnit. He let out a groan and shuffled out of bed.

Might as well make himself useful. Stiles grabbed out the ingredients for a two-person breakfast, complete with coffee.

Selene shuffled out of her room just as Stiles was plating his breakfast.

"Morning star shine" Stiles teases, Selena glares at him. Stiles smiles at her and pushes her a cup of coffee. Selena grumbles but takes it.

They eat breakfast together with minimum conversation. Selena has never been a morning person.

Once breakfast had been thoroughly demolished they sat down on the couch and started to discuss what to do with their day.

Selena has the million-dollar of sorting through the sunroom. The sunroom was the place that they used as a research room.

The two agreed on the plan and quickly got set on sorting through the books on the shelves.

A lot of books were dusty, in boxes, or in languages that high school them didn't care to learn.

They had since learned more so a lot of books were added to a to-be-read pile. The pile had soon turned into 3.

Sometime during their sorting, they were interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Nose goes chooses Selena to answer the door.

Selena opens the door and Boyd, Erica, Lydia, Isaac, and Cora are standing on the other side with a smile.

"Stiles, some of the puppies are here" Selena shouted behind her shoulder. Lydia and Cora glare at her.

Stiles walks over to the door and sighs when he sees how many people are at the door. "Come on in" He stated.

The pack moves into the living room. "I can guess why you guys are here, follow us to the garage" Stiles guides.

Cora follows behind Stiles and Selena so she can get her hands on the music book, the rest follow Cora.

Stiles grabs the music book and hands it to Cora so she can choose the song they play. Cora smiles evilly.

Cora flips through the book, stops on a page, then gives the page to Stiles and Selena. They look at each other and nod.

They get all of the equipment ready and the pack sits down in any space possible.

I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt

Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?

I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask you, neither should you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do

I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago

So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way, I already know

I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask you and neither would you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do

I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask you, neither could you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do

(All song credits go to Hozier and his song 'Like Real People Do' again, I hugely recommend it)

Once the song is over the pack claps and cheers. Cora is looking at Stiles like she knows something he doesn't. Stiles knows why yet is avoiding her gaze.

Stiles makes everyone a large lunch. They eat all of it and talk about how their lives have been as of recently. Selena and Stiles don't share everything.

They all hang out and chat until about 3 pm. The pack reluctantly has to go back in time for pack dinner. They all descend into their cars.

Cora stays behind for a second to talk to Stiles. "That song today, it was about my brother wasn't it?" Cora questions even though she knows the answer.

Stiles doesn't respond but he can feel his face heat up. "Make a move, he likes you back I promise" Cora advised with a know-it-all smile.

Cora leaves after Stiles just continues to blush like a dumbass. Stiles can't help to sigh with a mix of contentment and relief when the pack leaves.

Selena smiles at him and jokingly punches his arm. "She's right you know, you should make a move" Selena suggested happily.

Stiles glares at her and stalks off to his room to recharge his social battery. Selena laughs as he walks away.

Chapter Text

Stiles wakes up early again much to his dismay. Instead of cooking Stiles opts to go running instead. He tends to do it on rough mornings.

He puts on his running shoes and tries to be as quiet as possible when leaving out of the back door.

With the music blasting in his ears, Stiles doesn't immediately notice the dark figure following him. He does notice though.

Stiles turns around and looks at the dark figure dead on. He sighs in relief when Derek raises an eyebrow at him.

Stiles turns his music off and smiles at Derek. "The big bad wolf following someone through the forest, where have I heard this before?" Stiles jokes.

"I think the better question is why is Little Red running in the scary forest?" Derek wonders. Stiles blushes slightly at the nickname.

"Woke up early and running helps clear my mind. What about you big guy?" Stiles questions. Derek smiles lightly.

"I run the perimeter of the forest every morning. I heard you and got distracted" Derek explains. Stiles nods.

"Being a great alpha looks very good on you. It's a welcomed change" Stiles can't help but flirt just a little.

"I'm sorry you haven't gotten to see more of it. I'll be on my A-game while you're here" Derek flirts back with a smile.

"Your A-game huh, should I be worried at all?" Stiles teases with a smile. Derek laughs a bit.

"I guess we'll find out. There's a pack outing to some club Erica choose, you should come" Derek offers.

"Sounds awesome. I'll bring Selena, she's desperate for someone to flirt with. I'll make sure to look extra good" Stiles promises.

"I look forward to it. Come by around 9" Derek responded before going back into the forest to finish his task.

Stiles smiles and continues his run for a bit before changing his direction to go back home.

Selena had readily agreed to go out to a supernatural club. So there they were dressed in 'hot people' clothes standing in front of the club.

Selena had a shirt on that read 'If tits were brains I'd be a genius' and Stiles was wearing black jeans with a slightly unbuttoned white button-up.

The pack had met at the house and then had gone from there and they carpooled by a designated driver. (Stiles and Derek)

The groups are Derek: Boyd, Erica, Isaac, and Cora. Stiles: Lydia, Parrish, Jackson, Ethan, and Selena. Stiles offered to take more people.

When they went inside the pack found out that Selena knew the owner. They all ended up getting drinks on the house for the entire night.

Stiles and Derek stayed by each other for most of the night. They were joking and were hardcore flirting.

"What does it say about me as a person that I know most of the songs that are playing?" Stiles wonders.

"That you have great taste in music?" Derek replies. Stiles laughs and has a goofy smile on his face. Derek laughs with him.

"I do indeed have great taste in music. Speaking of music, have you ever heard me sing yet?" Stiles asks because he can't remember.

"I have not, I am, however, greatly looking forward to hearing you sing. The pack has been talking you up" Derek informs. Stiles laughs.

"Oh just talking me up huh? I've got just the song in mind. You'll have to keep in mind that it's just for you when I sing it" Stiles stated looking directly at Derek.

"With the way you're talking it up, I'm expecting a lot. You sure you can pony up to it?" Derek cooed in a husky voice, biting his lip.

Their bodies are slowly drifting closer and the promiscuous music in the background is adding to the tension.

"I think you'll find I pony up to a lot. I can always show if you're more of a hands-on learner" Stiles offers in a low voice.

"Oh? And how would you show me exactly?" Derek flirts with an obvious smirk and a low voice. Stiles bit his lip and his body moved a bit closer.

"Stiles! Selena told me to come get you! Something about no more Jell-O Shots?" Erica exclaims in a louder than-necessary volume of voice.

Stiles winces a bit as Erica practically screams in his ear. Derek just laughs a bit and doesn't help.

"She's been cut off already? Maybe it's time to go home" Stiles questions and looks to Derek for help deciding.

"Yeah, I think it's time to go home. Let's round everybody up and go" Derek decides. Stiles nods and they split up to round the groups up.

Fifteen minutes later the entire pack and co are getting shoved into their proper group vehicle.

Stiles' group follows Derek's to the pack house.

The sober persons help the drunk ones to their respective rooms in the pack house.

"You know, if you didn't wanna drive more, you could always spend the night, we have the room" Derek offers nonchalantly.

"That would be great. I think Selena would throw up if we drive anymore" Stiles admits and fake gags causing Derek to laugh slightly.

Derek shows Stiles a guest room for Selena and they help carry her into the bed. They both silently hope she doesn't throw up on them.

Derek then shows Stiles to the guest room closest to his room.

"This is it. There's an en-suite bathroom in every room" he explains and points to a door on the other side of the room.

"So uh, all that pony talk earlier, did you mean any of it?" Derek wonders as neutrally as he can.

Stiles smiles at his awkwardness. "I meant every word I said. What about you, you still want a hands-on learning experience?" he wonders.

Derek's eyes keep flickering between Stiles' eyes and his lips and he nods slowly.

Stiles leans in and captures Derek's lips with his own. Derek's lips chase Stiles'

Derek puts his hands around Stiles' hips for stability and Stiles wraps his arms around Derek's shoulders to pull him in further.

Stiles smiles into the kiss but eventually pulls away. "As much as I would love to continue this, I'm ridiculously tired" he admits with a sigh.

Derek smiles. "I should also be getting to bed, we have a busy morning ahead of us. Goodnight Stiles" he replies softly.

Stiles kisses Derek one last time. "You're right. Goodnight Derek" he whispers back.

Derek smiles then leaves the room and returns to his own.

Stiles softly hits his head against the door and smiles. He is still smiling as he drifts off to sleep.

Chapter Text

Stiles wakes up in a slight panic. It takes him a second to remember where he is. Once the panic passes he remembers last night.

Last night. Dealing with drunk people. Flirting with Derek. Making out with Derek. Last night was amazing.

Stiles can't help but smile at the memory of how Derek's lips felt on his—the feeling of Derek's hands on his hips.

Stiles shakes himself out of his head and instead gets out of bed. He is going to have to try to remember the way to the kitchen.

The hallways of the house are dark and eerily quiet. Stiles hopes the house isn't this creepy normally. Monster house vibes everywhere.

Stiles eventually manages to navigate the house and find the large kitchen. It's amazing. Stiles could spend eternity in there.

"I see you're awake" Derek speaks out into the silence causing Stiles to jump into the air like a cartoon cat.

"Jesus to hell. You can't sneak up on a guy like that. I swear my heart almost stopped!" Stiles exclaimed.

"So, what I'm hearing is that I make your heart stop?" Derek questioned with a sly smile on his face.

Stiles punched Derek's shoulder. "You know what I meant you ass. How are you so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed?" he asks incredulously.

Derek shrugs. "Werewolf thing? I've been waking up early since I was a kid. Can't sleep in when you hear almost everything" he reasons.

"Huh. I guess I've never thought of it like that. That must have sucked. No lazy Sundays" Stiles pondered.

"In some odd way, I missed it, waking up and hearing a pack. It wasn't the same waking up to an empty house" Derek confesses.

Stiles holds Derek's hand in his. "I'm really glad that you get to have that again Der" Stiles whispered with a soft smile.

Derek smiled back at Stiles in the same soft way. He stopped suddenly and listened for something.

"I'm guessing someone woke up?" Stiles wonders. Derek just nodded in response.

Loud thumps on the stairs make the two finally break apart. Derek moves to look in the fridge.

"Want to help me make some omelets?" Derek inquires. "Oh, would I" Stiles beamed sarcastically but moved to help nonetheless.

About an hour later the entire Hale pack is sitting in the living room properly fed and most are properly hungover.

Selena shuffles over to Stiles. "Please o mighty one, make your hangover cure, please with a cherry on top" she jokingly begs.

Stiles chuckles. "Only because you asked so nicely" he teases before getting up and starting on his mystery hangover cure.

The hungover cure is actual magic but they don't need to know that.

The pack is tremendously thankful to Stiles for helping their headaches go away. They offer to let him pick the movie they watch.

And who is Stiles to refuse such an amazing offer? (He chose the movie Pixels like the nerd he is)

The pack takes turns picking out movies to watch. Stiles doesn't even realize how late it's gotten.

"Holy shit. I hadn't realized how late it's gotten. We really should get going" Stiles announces. Selena doesn't say anything.

"I'm going to go make sure I didn't leave anything where I stayed, would you mind showing me the way again" Stiles asks Derek.

Derek shakes his head. "Not at all. Follow me it's quite complicated" he directs and Stiles moves to follow him.

Just like the night before Derek leads Stiles to the guest room.

"Thanks for uh letting us stay here and being such a great host" Stiles states awkwardly.

"Don't worry about it. Everyone enjoyed having you here. Myself included" Derek responds with a smile.

Stiles can't help but lean in and kiss Derek again. Derek gets with the program quickly.

Their pose mirrors the ones from last night with Derek's hands resting on Stiles' hips and Stiles' hands on Derek's shoulder.

Stiles lightly presses Derek against the wall making Derek sigh slightly and their kiss deepens.

Derek moves to pull Stiles' shirt up more but Stiles stops him entirely.

"I'm sorry I can't do this now, I'm so sorry" Stiles mutters before grabbing all of his things and leaving the room. Derek stands still in light shock.

Stiles manages to find his way to the living room and motions for Selena to follow him before leaving.

"Stiles, what happened?" Selena asks with slight concern. Stiles doesn't say anything just gets in the car and waits for Selena to do the same before starting the car.

The car remains slight for the entire drive home which adds to Selena's growing concern.

Once home, Stiles still says nothing as he searches through the cabinets of the kitchen.

"Do we have any liquor?" Stiles inquires and his voice breaks. Selena just frowns and hugs him. "Of course we do" She replies.

Selena goes into the liquor cabinet and grabs a bottle of Vodka and a bottle of Tequila.

Stiles sits on the back porch and tries not to cry. Selena sits down and place the bottles between them.

Stiles grabs the bottle of Vodka and takes a long swig of it. Selena frowns at him again.

"I think I might have messed things up with Derek" Stiles confesses before taking another long swig of the bottle.

"Stiles I don't think you could. You love each other so much I don't think it's possible. He would love you as a worm" Selena jokes and takes a swig of Tequila.

"We might have been making out and he might have tried to lift my shirt and I might have panicked and ran" Stiles explains.

"I want the first time he sees me shirtless to be without a glamor y'know?" Stiles rambles and takes another long drink.

"I understand. It's a huge deal Stiles, you're not ready and that is okay" Selena reasons with a soft smile.

"The thing is, I think I am ready. I'm just nervous about what he's going to think. I have a lot of tattoos and even more scars" Stiles rambles even more.

"With the way he looks at you, I don't think you should have any problems in that department" Selena states. Stiles gives her a questioning look.

"He looks at you like you're the sun and the moon combined. Like if he could, he'd just look at you forever" Selena explains.

Stiles smiles at that description. Selena sighs at him and rolls her eyes.

"You're not much better. You get the dumbest smile on your face whenever you think of him or look at him" Selena says with a fake gag at the end.

Stiles rolls his eyes but the smile doesn't leave his face. Selena stands up and pats Stiles on the shoulder.

"Trust me, you didn't ruin anything. It'll be fine just talk to him about it" Selena advises before going to her room.

Stiles stays on the porch drinking for a while longer and thinking about what Selena said.

Stiles decides that in the morning he should bake Derek something and apologize and explain.

Stiles stumbles a bit on his way to bed but doesn't regret drinking one bit.
