Sterek OneShots✨

Smart choices.

Stiles was not expecting Derek's text to meet him at his loft, After the day they both had, Stiles was sure Derek would have wanted to relax or have a power nap but Derek had texted him, which was strangely unusual but Stiles said he'd be there for whatever reason. It had only been a day since Boyd died right in front of Derek as Stiles placed his hand on his shoulder, letting Derek know he wasn't alone and could depend on his pack, Maybe Derek would thank him? He had no idea.

"Derek?" Stiles yelled into the Loft as he looked around, It looked empty but Stiles could hear the tap water running from the bathroom,

"Just give me a second," Derek yelled back, Stiles nodded to himself in agreement and leaned against the wall by the entrance, wondering how long this would be,

Stiles waited for about 5 minutes before Derek showed up from doing god knows what, Stiles gave him an expectant look,

"Well?" Stiles prompted, "What do you need?" Stiles asked, Derek sighed as stood still,

"Why did you comfort me after Boyd?" Derek asked and Stiles could only blink at the question, What?

"What do you mean?" Stiles asked, "You were hurt I was just letting you know you had us, The pack," Stiles explained,

Derek nodded but something about Derek's expression told Stiles that he wasn't buying Stiles' explanation which meant he would ask questions,

"Are you sure that's all?" Derek asked, "Because it was pretty long, before you let go," Derek said,

"Why does it matter how long I left my hand on your shoulder?" Stiles raised his eyebrow, "Why are we even having this conversation? Just thank me dude," Stiles shook his head,

"You care more than anyone on the pack, but only when it comes to me, Why?" Derek asked, And Stiles just stared at the man, What? What was he talking about?

"Dude, What are you talking about?" Stiles asked, "I just held your shoulder, Now you are just reading too much into it," Stiles shook his head,

"Am I?" Derek shook his head, "I have thought a lot about our relationship-"

"Relationship?" Stiles boggled his eyes, "What relationship?" Stiles shook his head,

"Stiles," Derek looked at him, "Friendship, I meant friendship, I have noticed that there is something more for me at least, the more we save each other, the more I feel and I can tell you feel the same,"

Stiles froze, Feelings? What? Okay, Stiles knew exactly what the man was talking about but the fact that Derek brought it up is what confused him, Yes Stiles had developed feelings for Derek over the years but Derek had a bad history with relationships so Stiles hadn't acted in his feelings,

"You need to give me more than that," Stiles shook his head, Derek sighed before nodding,

"I have a bad track record of relationships," Derek told him, Stiles rolled his eyes,

"Yeah, no shit," Stiles shook his head, Derek just gave him a look at the remark,

"I don't want to keep the track going," Derek told him, Stiles nodded slowly,

"So you want me to help you out?" Stiles asked, "You want help finding your one and only?"

"No," Derek shook his head,

"Then what does this have to do with me?" Stiles questioned, Derek sighed again,

"I'm saying that I already found the one I want," Derek told him, Stiles nodded in response,

"That's great man," Stiles lightly clapped, "Do you need help telling her?"

"No I don't need help telling him," Derek shook his head, "I'm trying to tell him right now but he isn't putting the pieces together," Derek looked almost annoyed but also nervous which was a new look on him,

Stiles froze in place, he was slow figuring out what Derek was telling him but when Derek put it like that, Stiles knew what he meant, so Stiles stood there amazed, Derek was just standing there and Stiles realized that Derek was waiting for a response,

"Oh, You mean me?" Stiles wanted clarification which Derek gave from nodding and looking down, "You should have just started with that!" Stiles threw his hands up,

Derek shrugged with a slight smile at Stiles' response, Stiles shook his head,

"You had me confused, But you do mean it, Right?" Stiles asked and Derek nodded again, "Are you sure this isn't just another dumb choice?"

"You think that you are a dumb choice?" Derek looked at him confused, Stiles looked down,

"I mean, Yeah, I annoy you," Stiles explained, "So why wouldn't I be a dumb choice?"

"Stiles," Derek was now right in front of him and Stiles hadn't even noticed the man getting up from where he was, Stiles couldn't make eye contact, "You are the smartest choice, You are brave, loyal, funny and sarcastic, and unbelievably smart as well, Who wouldn't want you?"

Stiles finally met Derek's eyes, Stiles could see no doubt in Derek's expression as he told him all this which meant he was telling the truth, he didn't have werewolf senses but he could tell and that made his heartbeat speed,

"Derek," Stiles started, "I don't know what to say, I mean, yes I feel the same, I do but I never thought that you would feel this way," Stiles shook his head in disbelief and all Derek did was place his hand on Stiles' shoulder,

And as soon as Derek did, Stiles leaned forward and met Derek into a kiss, at first it was slow and savoring but as Derek began to kiss back, it was rough and Stiles could feel Derek's scruff going along his face, Stiles pulled Derek's face closer and gripped his fingers in the others hair, Stiles could now feel Derek's hand on his waist, this went on for a bit longer before they were pulling away for air,

When Stiles saw Derek's expression, He just wanted to kiss him more, Derek looked relieved like he had been waiting for this moment for so long and he finally achieved his life goal, Stiles has always wanted someone to look at him like that, so he didn't hesitate in pulling Derek into another heated kiss, Derek this time slipped his tongue in Stiles' mouth and now they were fighting for dominance and it was no surprise that Derek won, Stiles always imagined it would go that way, Stiles now wondered how many other fantasies would come true due to this happening, He was hoping all of them but he knew he had tons of time,

"Wow," Stiles said as they pulled apart again, "That was,- just wow," Stiles smiled up at Derek who was smiling right back, 

"I know," Derek agreed, "There is something else," Derek was looking down again, 

"What is it? And why do you look worried again?" Stiles asked, Derek met his eyes,

"How much do you know about mates?" Derek asked, Stiles blinked for a moment, Mates? What?

"Practically nothing, Why?" Stiles asked, Derek reached out and took Stiles' hand,

"Well, They are like soulmates," Derek started, "It's someone who my wolf has claimed as their only person they want to be with for life," Derek explained,

"Soulmates?" Stiles questioned, "Like for life?" 

"Yeah," Derek nodded, "And I found my mate," Derek smiled, Stiles froze again, He knew what Derek meant, 

"I-I am your mate?" Stiles stammered, All Derek could do was nod, "So you want to be with me for life or is that just your wolf?" 

"Me and my wolf," Derek clarified, "I figured it out when you held my shoulder, I knew I didn't want to be with anyone else,"

"Derek, That is so sweet!" Stiles exclaimed, "Who knew there was this side of you?" Stiles smiled, Derek chuckled, 

"Only with you," Derek said before kissing him again, Stiles smiled into it as he kissed back, Stiles could get used to this.
