Submission Type: ficlet
Word Count: 353 words
Prompt: 136 Kept
Author's Notes: I don't know where this form of the fic idea came from, but when I saw it, I knew I wanted it to be a kept man sort of situation. I also spent the weekend of my friend's son's birthday party using shitty internet to try to "research" this idea more. I still don't feel like I did the full idea any justice.
"It isn't something to go into lightly," Talia said as she looked at the two young men in front of her. "You must go into this fully understanding your roles and responsibilities to each other."
Derek resisted, just slightly, rolling his eyes at his mother. “Stiles and I have been discussing and negotiating our relationship for the better part of six months.” He looked at her. "I know I said I'd never want to have an arranged relationship after...but well obviously with Stiles it's different."
“And before that,” Stiles added, “we talked about the kind of relationship we wanted when we realized we both wanted to be with each other.”
Claudia looked her son in his eyes. “Are you sure about this? Everything you're giving up by living with us and agreeing to this relationship with Derek?”
Stiles smiled brightly. “Yeah, mom. But I...we don't see it as giving up anything, but gaining so much more.” He reached for Derek's hand and interlaced their fingers. "We both get more family, more love, more birthday presents, hint hint." Derek, Talia, Claudia and Stiles' father, John, laughed.
Claudia blinked and raised her hand to wipe away some tears that rolled down her cheek. “If you're happy, then I'm happy for you. Both of you.”
“I've gotta say, son...I didn't see this for you,” John, said as he looked at his son, then to Derek. “Both of you haven't had the best experiences with relationships. Are you sure about this?”
“That's true, sir, and we're very sure," Derek said. "We haven't had the best of relationships with other people, but Stiles and I have been there for each other through all of that. We know what we expect of ourselves and each other. I've seen Stiles at his lowest, and he's seen me at mine...and we're still here."
Talia slowly nodded her head, a small but genuine smile on her lips. "Okay. Then I guess I should say, welcome to the family, Stiles, Claudia and John."
"Welcome to our family, too." John replied with an equally genuine smile for Talia and Derek.
