Trusting you (Sterek)

21

Derek sighed sitting down as he thought about what his mother has said to him, how can someone he never met be important to him, what important now was the people around him Stiles included, Derek looked at the time and sighed, it was getting late but he knew he couldn't sleep

DH: You still awake

SS: At the moment, feel a bit restless since you came off the phone

DH: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have woken you

Derek got up to make himself a coffee leaning against the counter, checking his phone again once it pinged

SS: it's fine, I had a nightmare anyways you woke me up from it, is something up?

DH: not really, mum was here when I got back, told me some things can't sleep

SS: It's 4am Derek have you not slept yet

DH: no, can I come over?

SS: if you want, I can't sleep anyways and dads at work so kinda lonely and bored doesn't help being restless

DH: I'll be there soon

Derek slipped his phone in his pocket abandoning the makings of his coffee grabbing his leather jacket and going to Stiles house parking his Camero outside the front Stiles opened the door as Derek reached the house and Smiled at the older man "hey Derek" he greeted, Derek smiled at him walking into the house

"Hey Stiles" Derek gave him a small smile as Stiles shut the door "sorry about coming so late"

"It's fine I can't sleep and I could probably do with the company" Stiles shuffled on his feet "you... you seemed upset about your mum" Stiles hesitantly says, Derek scratched the back of his neck, head nodding "I'll make some coffee" Stiles walked to the kitchen and Derek got comfy on the couch leaning his head back as he let out a sigh

A little later Stiles came back putting the coffee on the table sitting next to Derek "she told me to stay away from you" Derek started, he kept his eyes closed and head leant back, Stiles tensed at the statement "I'm not going to" Derek added, "I just want you to be careful, it wouldn't surprise me if she already knew where you live and have a pack member following you, my mothers pack is a lot larger then ours put together, I don't want you getting hurt Stiles, specially if it's just because I offered to be your friend"

Stiles smiles "my mum kept me hidden from our world my whole life, I never been around other werewolves until I became an Alpha turned a trained Scott and Danny, Lydia and her mother helped, both witches, Lydia's mum was friends with my mum she helped keep me hidden, I can always hide again if I need to, I don't think I'll have to, plus if I learnt to fight me and my pack could protect ourselves"

Derek lifted his head as Stiles said he could always hide again but listened as Stiles kept talking "I could always help you train" Derek offered, Stiles hummed with a nod as Derek rubbed the back of his neck comforting, Stiles heart had rose from mentioning his mother but calmed at the gesture Derek had done "I'll help keep you safe"

Stiles leaned into the touch and closed his eyes "thank you Derek, but I don't want to come between you and your mother"

Derek dropped his hand picking up the coffee "you won't Stiles, even when I became an Alpha it never put a barrier between me and her, she helpped me, she even helped me choose pack members, trust me when I say Jackson wasn't her choice it was because of Peter, and Peter is the reason I stopped visiting her nothing else, and now Peter's gone, she maybe my mum but she can't tell me who I can and can't be friends with"

Stiles nodded and looked at the TV "want to watch something" Derek looked at the blacked out screen before nodded "what you want to watch?"

Derek shrugged as Stiles turned the TV on "I don't know" Stiles flicked netflix on and passed Derek the controller before going to go grab some snacks, Stiles came back in with some crisps and popcorn and Derek was looking at supernatural "only on season 2?"

Stiles gave a smile "rewatch on season 2"

Derek pressed play as Stiles sat back beside him, they both eventually fell asleep

"Stiles" Noah called as he shook his sons shoulder, instantly making both werewolves jump awake and apart looking up at him "hey it's 10am, You should get up"

"Dad" Stiles looked at Derek who was rubbing his forehead in a groan before turning back to his dad "morning"

"Morning to you both to, I made breakfast" Noah gave them a smile before heading to the kitchen

Derek managed a small smile back "I should.... you know"

Stiles frowned "eat first, you should eat first then if you need to go you can"

Derek scratched the back of his neck "alright" Stiles got up and walked to the kitchen Derek following close behind "thank you Sheriff" Derek said upon seeing the older man

He simply nodded and eyed the two boys "slept alright?"

Stiles rubbed the back of his neck and gave a sheepish grin "I did the second time"

"Second time?" Noah gave a questioning look as Stiles ate and nodded

"Nightmare the first time" Derek said with a shrug, Noah nodded in understanding and went back to eating his breakfast before he could go to bed

"Derek woke me up before I managed to wake up screaming" Stiles played with the last bit of food "it was surprising because I don't usually wake to a phone call"

Noah nodded "that's the first time I think you been woken from a nightmare"

Stiles nodded biting his lip "I only called because I wanted to let him know Danny was back safe"

"How did you end up coming here" Noah finally asked wanting to know why he's here

"He ugh, I couldn't sleep" Stiles scratched the back of his neck "neither could he so he came here and we watched supernatural and I guess we fell asleep watching it"

Noah nodded "Someone called Talia came to the station last night" Derek frowned and let out a sigh "she's looking for someone" he looks at Stiles worried "more specifically the child of Claudia"

Stiles tensed up and Derek looked at Stiles sensing him tense up "why is she looking for her, we can't even find her"

Derek frowned in confusion and rubbed the back of stiles neck soothingly "my mum has been looking for someone for a few years but she wouldn't let any of us know, not even a name" he moved his hand to slide it into Stiles comfortingly "she refuses help from anyone else, though I suspect Chris knows"

"Chris? As in Chris Argent" Noah asked and Derek nodded "I can speak to him see if he can tell me anything, she said she didn't know her last name and Claudia was very secretive but she's gone missing and hiding something very important"

Stiles was glaring at the table "she, why is she looking for mum" Stiles was finding it hard to control the tears that where stinging as his eyes

Naoh watched as Derek cave stiles a warm look wiping the escaped tear that slipped down his face "look at me Stile" Derek spoke softly and Stiles slowly lifted his head to look at Derek "I will find out what I can, but I'm not mentioning you to her, from what I've heard from you what your mother was hiding was you, and I'm not going to let her get to you, this is my town, and you are part of it" Derek wiped another tear before pulling Stiles into a hug

Noah cleared his throat and stood up as the two boys looked at him "I'm going to sleep, be careful" Noah turned and headed upstairs

Stiles buried his face into Derek's chest "I want to know what really happened to my mum, I don't want to just hear she's missing I know she's gone, I felt her pain" Stiles whimpered and Derek held the boy tighter as he cried
