Summary: “Come with me,” he pleaded.
Word Count: 200 (100 word drabble for each POV)
Author's Note: Written for the December Drabble Days 2016. Prompt was for
slvrbld747, Stiles/Derek, instead of leaving after they rescue him in Mexico Derek doesn't run away. Stiles/Derek are reunited and they decide where to go next. I decided to do this prompt for each POV... so two 100 word drabbles. Hope you enjoy!
The horror show was over and all Stiles could think of was the way he’d left Derek to die. Derek’s eyes, when he’d asked him to save Scott; the compassion and bravery left Stiles hollow. Derek’s surprise recovery and evolution couldn’t remove the terrible pain of never telling Derek the truth.
Stiles grabbed Derek’s arm before he could get into the car with Braeden. Derek turned to look at him, but the fear that had been oddly absent in the face of death showed behind his eyes, as Stiles spoke the truth he’d never thought to reveal.
“I love you.”
**
Derek never anticipated Stiles’ being there at his death or the depth of pain he’d see in those eyes. He never knew Stiles would be strong enough to leave him to die to honor his last wish.
He hadn’t died though, and now, he turned with fear. Derek needed the space to understand what he’d become, but the words Stiles spoke resonated in Derek, pulled at his wolf and Derek understood at last.
He could never leave Stiles.
“Come with me,” he pleaded.
Stiles looked at him in surprise, but smiled as he nodded.
The wolf in Derek howled. Mate.
