Summary: It's not because Scott is his mate and Stiles is Scott's mate that Derek and Stiles have to get along. They try though, for Scott's sake. Then something happens to Scott that will change their lives, probably forever. The human and the werewolf are forced to work together to find Scott, then help him to get his life back on the road.
Derek must have passed out in his pain attack, because when he opened his eyes some time later, Isaac and Stiles were hovering over him. Both with concerned looks on their faces.
"W-what...What happened?" he was able to rasp out, then tried to clear his throat.
"You blacked out." Stiles answered simply while Isaac helped Derek to sit up again.
"The others?"
"Already trying to come up with a plan." Stiles nodded his head to where Peter, Allison and even Chris were trying to convince the other hunters to help them. "Chris likes Scott, so he immediately agreed to help. The others are a little more apprehensive, but what else did you expect? Peter was less than amused when he saw how much pain you were in. Even I can feel it a little bit. Guess I have some kind of bond with Scott after all."
"You do." Derek answered firmly, hating that Stiles seemed to have any doubt in that. "You're Scott's mate and, what makes your bond even stronger; you've always been best friends. You both were always able to tell when there was something wrong with the other, weren't you?" Derek waited for Stiles' confirming nod. "Since you've mated with him -don't try and deny it, because I can smell it on the both of you-, that feeling, that bond has grown. No, you won't feel it as strongly as I do, but-"
"I guess I should be happy for that." Stiles answered, a small smile on his face, feeling pleased with Derek's words. "I mean, I don't want to pass out everytime they hurt Scott."
Derek nodded, realizing that Stiles finaly got it, then turned towards Isaac. "What are they saying?"
Isaac wasn't even surprised that Derek knew he was eaves dropping. "Peter is doing most of the talking. Just trying to get the other hunters on board. It seems a little harder to do now Chris is already released, though."
"If they don't want to help, we'll do it on our own." Derek looked up at Stiles. "Can you get in contact with Lydia? We might need her help. More importantly, we'll probably need Jackson."
"I can try. I'm not sure if Jackson will want to help us, but...I'll definitely give it a try."
Derek nodded, "Call me with Scott's phone to update me. Or when you need some help persuading Jackson."
Stiles nodded, already taking out his phone to call Lydia while he straightened up, then walked away to get some privacy. If Isaac wouldn't listen in at least.
Derek turned to Isaac again, "Let's go to the others. See if those bunch of hunters have decided yet."
Isaac smiled, "Oh, they have. You're gonna like their decision."
Derek was a little surprised, but covered it up by placing his hand on Isaac's shoulder and leading him towards the group.
"Let's go and make a plan."
Derek wasn't planning on being left out and just following Peter and those hunters' instructions. This was about his mate and he was going a say in how to save him.
--..--
After a while, Stiles' jeep came back driving up to the Hale house. He had left the group after calling Lydia and she said she would hear himn out. She couldn't promise that Jackson would help them, but she would try convincing him. She liked Scott, who didn't?
Now there was another problem, though... Melissa McCall. She had been calling Scott's cellphone every five minutes for over an hour now and Stiles still hadn't picked it up. He had send a message to her with his own phone though at the end, telling her that Scott was with him and that Scott's battery was dead so he couldn't inform her himself.
That made the ringing stop at last. But it didn't take away the problem. They had to tell Melissa what was going on.
Stiles could take a lot, but he wasn't going to do this alone.
Derek already sensed Stiles' nervousness from the moment he stepped out of his jeep. He stepped outside of the group during their discussion of the plan and met Stiles halfway on his walk over to them.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Melissa." Stiles answered immediately. "We need to tell her what's going on."
Derek kind of felt this coming, still he wasn't really prepared for it.
"Can't you do that alone?"
"No, Derek, I can't." Stiles answerd, a bit frustrated because he knew Derek was gonna say that. "He's your mate,too. I need you to back me up."
Melissa didn't know about the whole mate/threesome thing and Scott wasn't planning on telling her, so Derek and Stiles couldn't tell her about it. She did know that Scott and Stiles were very close and she knew that Scott spend a lot of time with Derek as well, which was all she needed to know.
Now she had to know that her son was kidnapped...who better to tell her then the two most important men in her son's life.Not by just one of them.
"Fine." Derek huffed, knowing he wouldn't get out of this because hey, this was Stiles. Nobody got out of Stiles' plans. "But you'll have to do most of the talking."
"Fine with me." Stiles answered, then looked over to were the others were apparently saying their goodbyes to each other. "You guys came up with a plan then?"
"Partly." Derek answered, "We're meeting here again tomorrow morning. Do you want to tell Melissa today?"
Stiles nodded, "It's better we do it now then when she would really get suspicious."
Derek nodded back at him, "Alright. Let's go then."
Derek was already walking towards Stiles' jeep so Stiles jogged after him. "Don't we have to discuss what we're gonna tell her? Or more like, how. This isn't gonna be easy.
Derek shrugged while opening the passenger door of the car. "I told you, you are gonna do most of the talking, so you figure out how to tell her."
Stiles huffed, "You're really gonna make me do this alone, aren't you?"
Derek didn't answer, just smirked slightly. Stiles rolled his eyes, slamming his door closed after he had climbed into the driver's seat. Not that it helped or anything, he just felt like doing it.
He didn't say anything during the ride to the McCall house, which was pretty fucking hard for him. He just didn't feel like talking to Derek right now.
He was thinking about how to tell Melissa the news in the easiest way.
The problem was, there was nothing easy about it...
~~..~~
"Scott?" Melissa called out, walking to the hallway when she heard the front door open. "I thought you were with...- Stiles? What are you doing here?"
"Hi, Melissa. Um, I brought someone with me if you don't mind."
Melissa didn't even have the time to reply when Stiles' guest stepped through the door. She took an involuntary step backwards when she saw who it was.
"What's he doing here?" It wasn't because her son seemed to like Derek Hale for some unknown-to-her reason that she had to like him as well.
"He's here for a reason," Stiles answered, "Maybe not a good reason, but...Scott's missing." he just blurted it out, because that was how Stiles was. He ignored Derek's eyebrow raise.
"What do you mean?" Melissa asked, her eyes widening, "Stiles, what do you mean, Scott's missing? Where the hell is he?"
"You have to try and stay calm, ok?" Stiles said, his hands hovering over Melissa's arms, not quite touching them. "We don't know where Scott is, but we'll find him."
"What do you know?" Melissa glanced from one guy to the other. "What happened?"
Stiles was about to answer, when suddenly Derek let out a groan and clenched his hands into tight fists against his legs. Stiles was with him in a second.
"Derek?" Stiles asked softly, hoping that Melissa wouldn't hear him. "Derek, is it Scott? Oh my God, it's Scott, isn't it?"
Once again, touching Derek made Stiles feel part of his pain; Scott's pain. Derek nodded, trying to grit some words out between clenched teeth.
"Get...me...out of...here..."
Stiles noded quickly, grabbed Derek by the arm and pulled him to the stairs, then helped him go up the stairs and left him in Scott's room with the door closed. He wiped his forehead before going downstairs, where Melissa was waiting for him, arms crossed over her chest.
"What's going on here, Stiles?"
"Derek didn't feel so well, suddenly. I took him to Scott's room to let him lay down for a while."
"Is he gonna be alright?" Of course Derek had to choose that moment to let out to wail out in pain. "Maybe I should go check on him." Melissa's nurse instinct kicked in. She was ready to go up the stairs, when Stiles stopped her.
"He'll be fine," Stiles said in his most convincing tone, "Just give him a few minutes." Stiles had to fight his own uncomfortable feelings, because, like Derek had said; he was conected with Scott as well. "Maybe we should go and sit down."
Melissa still looked a little uncertain, but followed Stiles to the living room, sitting down on the couch opposite of the loveseat, where Stiles was sitting on.
"Now talk." Melissa said, trying to ignore the second wail coming from the stairs. "What has happened to Scott."
"Basically," Stiles drawled out the word a little, knowing that it would annoy Melissa, but that's just how he was. "Scott's been kidnapped."
"Kidnapped?" Melissa asked surprised, "By who? Are they asking money? How much?"
She didn't get why someone would kidnap Scott. It wasn't like she was rich, which was were most kidnappers were after; money.
Stiles swallowed, this was it... "The Alphas have got him."
"Alphas?" Melissa's eyes widened in realization. "Wait...you mean this is a werewolf thing?"
"That's exactly what I mean." Stiles leaned forward a little, "I'm sorry."
"But why? What are they after?"
Stiles opened his mouth to answer, when another voice interrrupted him from the doorway.
"Me." Stiles and Melissa turned their heads to see Derek standing there. "It's me they want."
Stiles could see Derek was still in pain a little, but he was glad that he was back so he could take over the explanation.
"Why have taken Scott if they want you?" Melissa tried to stay calm, even if it was pretty obvious that she was starting to freak out.
"Because," Derek glanced over at Stiles before he continued, getting a small, but encouraging nod from him. "Scott's the closest thing to me they could get their hands on."
Now Melissa was really confused. "What?"
"I know you probably don't know about me, or werewolves in general, maybe you just really don't want to know, but..." Derek paused, knowing that this would come over as quite a shock to Melissa, but she had to know. "Scott is my mate."
Stiles literally facepalmed while Melissa just stared at Derek like he was some kind of alien.
"He's...He's what?"
"Your son is my mate. My lover, if that's what you would like to call him."
"But...W-...What?!"
"I'm not getting into detail on this, because we don't have the time for this-"
"I'm not sure I want any details either." Melissa interrupted him, making Stiles snort.
"But we really need to find him, because things can get pretty bad."
"So, why don't you give yourself over to them, then?"
Stiles' eyes widened in fear of Derek's reaction, but the Alpha remained remarkably calm.
"Because they would kill me."
"And?" Ok, now she was pushing it and she knew it. But what was she supposed to do? Her son was kidnapped. By werewolves.
"If they kill me, it will kill Scott too."
"That doesn't make sense."
"To you it probably doesn't, but, to say it simply; me and Scott have a bond. If that bond gets broken, something in us breaks. Something unrepairable. Same goes for me. If Scott would die one day, I'll die too."
The only thing that really stuck into Melissa's mind were the words 'Scott' and 'die'.
"Are they gona kill him?"
"No. I don't believe they will." Derek answered honestly. "Hurt him, yes. Kill him, no."
"That's a relief. I guess...So, what's the plan? You are gonna try and save him, don't you?"
Derek nodded, "Absolutely. We're asking Chris Argent and the rest of the hunters to help us. There's also Isaac and, hopefully, Lydia and Jackson." Derek looked over at Stiles, "How did that conversation go?"
"It was only with Lydia," Stiles answered, "But she said she would convince Jackson. So, it's looking good."
Derek nodded, then looked back at Melissa. "Then there's me and Stiles of course. We're meeting together tomorrow for a second time to tighten up the loose ends, then our plan can get into action."
"Do you think it will work?"
"It has to."
Melissa obviously had her doubts, because some of those people involved were still kids, not older than Scott, but she had to trust Derek on his word on this. Even though it was hard to do.
Stiles' phone suddenly beeped and Stiles read the message. "It's my dad. I think Chris must have contacted him, because he wants in on the plan." A small pause. "Which, I don't even know yet what it is, so..."
"I'll fill you in while you drive me home." Of course it was a demand instead of a question. "Come on, let's go Stiles."
Stiles was already up and walking towards Derek and the front door, When Melissa stopped them.
"Wait." Both guys looked around to see Melissa walking up to them, stopping just a feet away from Derek, looking straight into his eyes. "Promise me you'll bring my son back to me.In one piece."
No matter how much she was freaking out and how she still didn't get the whole 'mates' thing, the most important thing to her was getting her son back. Alive and well.
Derek looked back into Melissa's eyes, his gaze unwavering.
"I promise."
That's all she needed to hear right now.
