When the event came Derek had rejected it multiple times, like last night I was sat at my desk biting my pen as I drew random stuff with a pencil and I watched as Peter went into the office with a grin, I'm suppose to stop him but he needs to get Derek to go to the Halloween party tomorrow, about an hour later Derek was shoving Peter out the door "you are going Derek even if I have to drag you there myself" everyone looking over as the door slammed in Peter's face, he turned to me "how did you get him to the event last time"
"Guilt trip" I stated and so i explained how I kept falling asleep at my desk and Derek had carried me back but one day accidentally hit my head so i pulled the oh so dramatic abuse on him, Peter had the decency to look horrified about what i had done "oh god i felt so guilt about it after he looked absolutely terrified being there"
Peter's face dropped and looked towards the office with a sigh before walking away, I didn't ask why, I didn't think i had the right to know.
I got dressed in the outfit Lydia had given to me, it looked like a torn up red hoodie, and torn pants with fake blood splatter "I guess I'm little red or something" I left work earlier to get changed and I was meeting them there, thank god i got my jeep back because it was a 10 minute drive away and i wanted to be lazy, but then again a party so I just called a cab in the end, me and driving isn't the safest of things me driving and drinking is probably 100% death garuntee, I walked in and there was a fair amount of people here, I noticed the twins and most the people who worked on the top floor in our office, I think Peter only actually invited people Derek knew and got along with, more of a party for him then anything else, even so with Derek knowing them it didn't take me long to spot the handsome tall man standing terrified at the side of the room while Peter stood next to him smirking and speaking to him, if I didn't know any better i'd say the man was teasing him put the reassuring hand on the shoulder said he was only trying to comfort his nephew, Derek was dressed in a wolf outfit a mask that covered his face, and so i concluded I was deffinitly little red, I made my way over to them and smiled as I waved "hey"
"Stiles" Peter greeted and Derek just glanced at me before glancing back at the crowd "finally you are here so I can leave the big bad wolf in the hands of little red, i have someone to find" i rolled my eyes as he winked and walked away
Derek remained silent so I stood in his line of sight, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes looked at me "hi Derek" he remained quiet so I rocked on my feet pursing my lips in thought "soo wanna be the big bad wolf to my little red?"
He looked confused at first before shrugging "why are you little red?"
"Lydia got it me" i stated and the look or realisation hit him as he glanced over to Lydia who was stood with a huge smirk on her face holding hands with her husband "oh she set us up with matching costumes" i said with fake shock because I already knew their little plan, "come on, my buddy is suppose to be here and he wanted to meet my house mate since I moved in but you are always at work" i grabbed his hand and pulled him, he didn't more at first "Mr Hale if you don't move your butt I will make a huge scene that will cause the whole place to look at us" and now I'm feeling guilty because hes got that terrified look on his face again but he did follow, I weaved through the crowd keeping hold if his hand to make sure I didn't loose him or he didn't run away "Scott!" I called once I spotted him and his two lovers
"Stiles" Scott shouted back flinging himself at me "how are you bro, we haven't een each other in so long and...." he froze setting his eyes on the man behind me before gaping "Derek?" I was confused he knew Derek "never thought you'd be seen dead in a place like this"
Derek grumbled something that I don't think any of us heard "as grumbly as ever, and people winder why I'm so joyous after growing up with that grump" isaac said before walking over to Derek and hugging him, Derek frowned putting his arm around Isaac not even letting go of my hand"
"You grew up together" i gaped at Isaac how have I never met Derek before
"Well yeah he practically raised me, he's like the father I wish I had that actually came true" Isaac grinned releasing his arms from around the older man "how do you know him?"
"He's my boss.... and house mate" I answered
"And boyfriend?" Alisson asked glancing at our connected hands and I blushed letting his hand go "oh no don't do that you look cute together, matching outfits both adorable"
Derek just stood there not saying anything again so I glared at him, i was not having a conversation for the both of us, yes I like to talk in fact I love talking but he needs to talk to "what" he grunted, I folded my arms and he glared at me before turning his head away with a straight up "no!"
Isaac started laughing "it's useless if you trying to get him to talk, Derek is like a clam, he only nodded to Scott when Scott asked permission to date me, he speaks more with his eyes then mouth" he chuckled "the fact he actually spoke to you in respone to your silence surprises me"
"Scott asked permission" I gaped, how did I not know this "such a romantic huh Scott"
Scott chuckled "we are going to get some drinks and dance have fun with your big date" the three waved off and I stared as they vanished into the crowd
"Is this a date?" I mumbled to myself
"Do you want a drink?" I blinked from my daze to look at Derek staring at him blank "I said do you want a drink?"
"Oh oh sure yeah that would be great" none of us made a move for a moment before Derek actually took my hand in his and dragged me off in the opposite direction of where the drinks were "hey Derek, i know you don't like crowds and stuff but, the drinks are that way"
"Stiles, there's more then one place to get a drink" he mumbled taking us through a set of doors and up a set of steps into a room that Derek punched the code into and now I suspect this place is also owned by him if it wasn't for the door code then it was for the locked cabinet that he had a key for pulling out a bottle of whiskey and pouring two glasses while I looked out the long window that over looked the room, which i now notice is a basketball court or hall some indoor sports thing anyway
"You really hate being around people don't you" I said taking the glass from him as he nods "what made you so scared" I wasn't asking him exactly, I was curious but I wasn't going to pry into his business, the look on his face as he looked down at his glass of drunk clearly said he wasn't going to answer so i smiled at him taking a sip of my own drink "Mr Hale, Will you dance with me?" We could still hear the music it just wasn't so loud
He nodded, it was awkward at first but as we danced it got easier, he wasn't so tensed as we made our way through the bottle of whiskey and dancing, I did leave for a short moment but only to get us some food, managing to dodge Peters question, and that was all I remember before waking up in bed with someones arms around me, I turned my head to see the owner of the arms and it was Derek, I sighed seeing we where both dressed, not in what we where last night but still dressed, which I had grown use to at the times I fell asleep at my desk and waking up the next morning in different clothes, he looked cute sleeping, then the door bursts open and we both flew apart and ended up on the floor "morning" Peter chimed happily, maybe its a Hale thing changing those they take to bed
"Why did you wake them up" Derek looked pissed as he got up off the floor and I just gaped at Chris standing behind Peter "i told you to leave them alone"
Peter rolled his eyes and walked away and Chris followed after him, I looked over at Derek who was just getting back into the bed, I pursed my lip kinda wanting to join him back in the nice warm cuddles, and Derek was just staring at me and I couldn't tell what he wanted me to do, he sighed rolling his eyes "come here" so I did and got pulled back into the bed his arms coiling around my waist like he was some sort of anaconda and he held me close to him, I just stayed as still as possible while he buried his face in the back of my neck "go back to sleep" he mumbled
a part of me wanted to mumble that we had visitors but the majority of me just shut my eyes and relaxed into his hold falling back to sleep for a few more hours despite the light chatter outside the room from our guests, and for the first time since I met Derek he didn't go to work, in fact neither did I because we both just cuddled in his bed most of the day with splitting headaches and Chris and Peter looking after us which was slightly weird but manageable My head hurt so i let it happen, never mind the fact that my day was spent talking to Derek, not with but to because he liturally said nothing and just lay there watching me or sleeping, mostly sleeping
Only the next day I found out why the house was a mess when i first arrived, since I cleaned up the first time the mess never resurfaced, but in one single day of Peter being here it was like a dump sight "i'm going to kill him" I growled before getting ready for the day at work and dragging Peter back to clean the mess he made because i wasn't doing it again, I didn't get Peter to come in the end, nope Derek had forced him around lunch time to go and clean up the house, after that i started luring Derek out of work earlier, leaving when everyone else did, why because i was sick of canteen food and I wanted to get back to cooking, firs month didn't work and I went it alone just leaving a plate for Derek that I'd always find empty n on the drainer by morning, today tho I waved good bye to the scheming trio and finished off the few bits I needed, yeah Derek actually started to give me some work to do after Halloween
after half an hour of the others leaving Derek was stood by his office door watching me so I lifted my head to aknowledge his presence because I came to the conclusion that i was not doing eye reading and I'll just stare at him until he speaks, he frowned since I just sat there staring back at him "we going home"
"Oh you waiting for me?" And he nodded, I quickly finished the sentence i was writing and got up "yup let's go" i lead the way because he seemed to want to follow me instead, and I did the usual and stopped of at the 24/7 store that had mostly the ingridients I needed to cook with it didn't bother me if I had to substitute what I wanted to make "hello" i greeted the cashier and she smiled back at me ringing my items through the till
Derek was standing behind me looking as awkward as ever "Hello Stiles" she greeted back looking up at Derek "oh Mr Hale? You are early, and I been missing you, you haven't been here for about a month" Oh she knew Derek, about a moth that was when "around the same time this young man started coming, are you cooking for him, I was always telling him those microwave meals are bad for him" she gave me a smile "you two are cute together, he's always so quiet"
I chuckled "I am cooking I miss doing it so I started cooking, and yeah Mr Hale is just a little shy but he does talk once in a while" I packed the bag as she rambled to Derek about something being great that he's eating proper meals "goodnight Ms" I smiled at her after paying Derek just nodded and followed me out and we went home and I cooked dinner, and that was the start of us eating together every night up until Christmas where I spend the day with my dad,
