*whispers* someone write a fic where Derek saves Stiles from a fire even though it’s terrifying for him to do because it reminds him of his family and then Stiles is all surprised and awed by it and Derek realizes that Stiles the secret love of his life almost died and then KISSING
Derek was sitting at his desk, waiting for his shift to be over. He was working a double because they were understaffed and he wanted to help the Sheriff out.
He had about 15 minutes to go when they got a call about a house fire, 1124 Bay Street. Derek tensed, immediately jumping up. That was his old loft where the pack hung out sometimes when they needed a home away from home.
Derek called out for the sheriff, mumbling about saving his pack. Derek ran out the door, foregoing the car and instead, running across town to the loft.
When he got closer, he fought through the smell of ash and burning wood and he could faintly smell someone- Stiles.
“I love you!” Lydia shouts in the middle of their fight against another pack of alphas.
“What?” Cora yells back, confused. She heard correctly. There is no mistaking what Lydia said, but Cora is confused about the timing. Not that she didn’t know Lydia was interested in her. They have been flirting and dancing around each other for years now.
Lydia doesn’t answer because she is suddenly screaming, and Cora is too distracted to dodge the claws that slash her throat.
One second Cora is standing, and the next thing she knows she’s on the ground, choking. She can’t seem to get a breath in, and there’s so much pain on her neck, so much pain. The blood is oozing down her neck to her chest, but that doesn’t matter because Lydia is kneeling before her.
“I love you,” she whispers. “It’s not your time. Not yet. I won’t let you go. Not yet.”
So Cora fights. She fights to stay alive because she has to see where things will go with Lydia. She has to see where they go. She has to.
Awww, that’s so sad but so sweet at the same time. I can just imagine big, brooding Derek quietly asking Stiles if he can hold his hand when they’re out at a fair, or shyly asking if he can kiss Stiles.
Stiles never says “Duh” or “Stop asking” because he knows what happened to Derek in the past and he knows what it means to Derek, so every time Derek asks for affection Stiles smiles and says, “Please do.”
(My heart is melting over this! Thank you so much for sending it in!)
