What My Heart Is Telling Me
Chapter Four: Heart By Heart
"So I am your sidekick?" Stiles asked looking at the picture. They both seemed young in it but as Stiles looked closer they only seemed about sixteen.
"Love-Interest/Sidekick. You help a lot, but, I still save you mostly." Derek said moving over to the bed. "I heard your whole conversation with my sisters."
"You have been drawing me since we met?" Stiles said back as he examined the folder full of pictures. Some ruff sketches, some extra photos, others were pictures Derek drew of him in his everyday life.
"My therapist told me to find an outlet for my stress, and you are so beautiful. Then one day I was having a nightmare and then you showed up in it. You cried for me to come save you, and then I remembered you calling me your superhero…."
"I meant every word I said to your sisters…" Stiles replied and they both sat in silence for a moment.
"So you love everything about me?" Derek said just above a whisper. Stiles could see the shine of tears in the corner of his eyes.
"You think I am beautiful?" Stiles replied looking up at him. When his eyes met Derek, a quiet "yes" slipped past his lips. It made him blush.
Derek got down on the floor and sat in front of Stiles. He grabbed the boy's hands and said "No." But before Stiles could react Derek took Stiles' face in his hands. "I think you are so much more than that. I think you are smart, kind, unbelievably gorgeous, and the love of my life."
Stiles looked up at him with tears streaming down his face. "And I know you are my soul mate." When the words left Stiles' mouth the pain disappeared and the strings brightness grew to a blinding red. Stiles closed his eyes do to the brightness and cried; both from pure happiness and relief, he was finally free of the pain.
Derek smiled and kissed Stiles. When their lips touched both boys moaned in delight. Derek let his hands fall to Stiles' sides and Stiles wrapped his arms around Derek's neck. When the separated they were both breathing hard. Derek helped Stiles to his feet only to push him on the bed.
"What happened to passive Dr. Jekyll?" Stiles asked in a teasing tone.
"You said you wanted me to be myself." Derek said with a wink as he locked the door.
Later That Night…
When Stiles opened his eyes he squeezed Derek tighter from his position on Derek's chest. He could not believe this was actually happening. He slowly turned his head and smiled when he saw Derek's sleeping face. Stiles just stayed there watching Derek sleep for a few moments and replayed the past few hours over in his mind. Most of his thoughts made him blush, however, one made his eyes widen. I forgot to tell Dad where I am!
Stiles took one more look at Derek's face and went in for one last small squeeze before he tried to maneuver out of Derek's grip. The task was not easy, damn my Man has a good grip…wait a moment! My man? When in hell did that happen?
Once Stiles had reluctantly escaped Derek's arms he creeped over to his phone and noticed the twelve missed calls from his dad. He quickly hit redial and moved to sit on the end of the bed. His dad picked up after the first ring.
"Stiles! Thank fate, where are you?" The sheriff of Beacon Hills sounded more worried then pissed. Stiles figured that was a check in his favor.
"Hey Dad, I am so sorry. Harris gave me a tutoring position today after class. I had to take it because the school is letting me do it for my volunteer hours. Anyway, my student wanted to start right away and we kind of lost track of time…"
"So you want me to believe this whole time you were hard at work?" Stiles' dad asked in a questioning tone.
"Oh believe me I was hard at work. Derek defiantly learned a few things…" Stiles said and then immediately face-palmed.
"Derek? As is Derek Hale, your superhero Derek Hale?" His father said with a chuckle.
"Yes Dad, as in my superhero Derek Hale. I am tutoring him in chemistry." Which I really should start doing…Stiles thought.
"Okay now I am sure something else is going on. So, you are telling me the boy you have had a crush on for years. Just happens to need a tutor, and your school just happens to recommend you?" His dad said coating his words in sarcasm.
"I am not lying…but…. he is kind of my boyfriend now. I guess…." Stiles says with uncertainty. Is he though? We never actually said I or talked about it.
"He is coming over tomorrow, no acceptations." His dad said in his 'do not fuck with me tone'.
"Fine but I am staying here tonight." Stiles said in the same tone.
"…okay…goodnight son, I love you." His dad said and Stiles was happy that he did not have to argue with him about this.
"Love you too dad, see you tomorrow for dinner." Stiles says as he hung up the phone.
"I am totally your boyfriend now, just to let you know." Derek said with a smirk from his position on the bed.
"How much of that did you here?" Stiles said blushing.
"Enough...care to teach your superhero a few more things?" Derek said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Damn it!" Stiles says as he craws under the covers.
"You know…it made me very happy that you called me your boyfriend. Even more that you said it to your dad." Derek said to the lump of sheets that was his boyfriend.
"….." Stiles mumbles but Derek cannot make it out.
"What was that Cub?" Derek says as he pokes the lump.
Stiles surfaces from the sheets, his face raspberry red and looks Derek in the eye. "I said, I wanted to because I love you…." Stiles says breaking eye contact.
Derek turns Stiles' face so their eyes meet again. He leans in so their lips are millimeters apart and says "I love you too" before connecting their lips.
The Next Morning…
"When you asked me out on our first date. I was hoping for something a bit more romantic or at least fun." Derek said the last part with an eyebrow wiggle.
"Hey now Baby-Bro, chemistry helped bring you guys together. So you should not hate on it." Laura said with a giggle.
"Shut up Laura." Derek said with a grumpy look.
"Hey now Sour Wolf, we have a dinner with my dad tonight and he will ask you what I taught you. So pay attention." Stiles says rolling his eyes at Derek's eyebrows.
"I can tell him about you taught me last night." Derek says in a teasing tone.
"Do that and chemistry will be all we do together for a few months." Stiles says with a half-hearted glare. Derek shut up very quickly.
"What did he teach you last night Bro?" Cora said coming into the room with a smirk on her face.
"Go away Cora!" Derek says with a red face.
"You are no fun." Cora says with a joking tone. When she rounds the corner out of the kitchen she runs into her sister. The both smile at each other, happy to have their brother back. They both then agree to leave the house so their brother, and hopefully future brother-in-law, can have some privacy.
"Well they are gone. We have the whole place to ourselves." Derek says with a grin.
"Good now you can focus." Stiles says with a big smile. The string is the most beautiful shade of red.
"Fine…" Derek said returning Stiles' smile.
"Hey now Sour Wolf. If you focus, I will give you a reward before we go meet my dad." Stiles says with a wink.
Derek blushed and quickly began reading the book. They finished in half the time Stiles had planned for them to take. Later that day when the Sheriff did meet Derek, he constantly complemented his son for finding such a relaxed boy. Stiles simply blushed.
Monday Morning…
They were about to enter school for the first time as a couple and Stiles was unbelievably nervous. Not because he was ashamed but because he was worried about Derek. "Promise me you will not get into a fight with anyone who looks at me weird."
"Okay…" Derek says crossing his arms already glaring at people walking by the car. "Can I at least hit Jackson once? Maybe a little threat?" Derek asked hopeful.
"No Sour Wolf." Stiles thought for a moment and then he looked up and smiled. "Just think about it. If you get suspended how will I make it without you…" Stiles says looking up at Derek with big watery eyes.
"Fuck! Cub you are killing me here…can we be late for first period. Please!" Derek says biting his lip.
"No and do you promise." Stiles says rolling his eyes.
"I promise I will never leave you." Derek says stealing a quick peck from Stiles.
Stiles looked at him for a moment and his mom's words echoing in his head. I am sure! "Derek…is it okay if we are a little late. I…I have to tell you something." Stiles said as he looked towards the school getting nervous.
Derek immediately stopped joking and unbuckled his belt so he could turn towards his boyfriend. "Of course Stiles. I would do anything for you." Derek said with a true smile. But he was a little scared.
Stiles took a deep breath and looked into Derek's eyes. "So the day we met I saw this string…." Stiles was very wrong that day. The were not late for class, they missed the whole day.
"So, tell me again how having sex repetitively in your car celebrates me telling you that you are my soulmate?" Stiles asked from Derek's arms in the back seat of the Camaro.
"Because, you let me wait long enough." Derek said kissing his head.
"Valid point." Stiles says kissing Derek's chest.
