Things Not Lost in the Fire

Summary:

When Stiles turns up at Derek’s workplace, upset that once again the universe has seen fit to set a match to everything Derek holds dear, the werewolf reminds him that what he holds dearest is right there.

Notes:

Hey! I’m back again with another drabble! This one was inspired by the prompt words grateful, tie, work, as provided by the wonderful @sterekdrabbles blog over on tumblr. Check it out for tons of drabbles by a wide variety of writers. You’re bound to find something you’ll love! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my humble offering. :-)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Stiles visiting Derek’s workplace wasn’t unusual. The teary eyes, tie-dyed Grateful Dead T-shirt, Daisy Dukes and - were those Crocs?? - definitely were.

“Stiles, what happened?”

“I’d just stepped out of the shower, barely wrapped a towel round myself, when a firefighter burst in and dragged me outside. The whole house was ablaze. Faulty wiring, they think. The old hippies next door loaned me the clothes. I’m so sorry, Derek, it’s all gone. Everything you loved. Gone. Again. I’m so sorry.”

“Stiles,” Derek murmured, hands coming up to cup his husband’s face tenderly. “Everything I love is right here, safe and sound.”

Notes:

Thanks for reading! If you’d like to share your thoughts on the story, or just want to say hi, please feel free to do so, either here in the comments section, or over on tumblr, where I’m also known as novemberhush. Take care out there. xxx
