Chapter Text
“Lydia you don't understand. I'm so fucking nervous that my head is gonna explode.” Stiles whined to his best friend.
“Stiles you are being a child..and it's annoying me...put on your big boy pants and relax or so help me I'm going to have Aiden throw you out the window.” she says causing the werewolf to chuckle and Stiles to gasp at her.
“You wouldn't dare”
“Try me Stilinski” she growls..she may not be a werewolf but she might as well be one. Lord was she was scary when she was annoyed or angry.
“Derek everything is going to be fine just sit down and drink some water” Melissa said as her and Scott watched the alpha werewolf pace the room. “You been doing this since six thirty this morning..it's eight o clock..how are you not tired?” She joked Scott laughed which earned him a glare from a nerved up Derek. Scott bowed his head but did nothing to stifle his laughter.
“I can't sit down..I can't calm down..what if something gets fucked up..what if I fuck up..what if I make a fool out myself or worse, him..I can't do that Melissa” Derek pleaded.
“Honey you are stressing over situations that are most likely never gonna happen...Just take a deep breath with me” She instructed before demonstrating for Derek. He followed her lead and allowed himself to take deep breaths until finally his heart rate had calmed down and he could think clearly.
“Thank you” Derek said once he had composed himself.
“Your welcome Derek..now how about you get some rest” She said as she rose and led Scott out of the room..
Derek didn't want to sleep but slumber eventually forced itself upon him.
“Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Mieczyslaw Genim Stilinski and Derek Alexander Hale in matrimony commended to be honorable among all; and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but reverently, passionately, lovingly and solemnly. Into this - these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together - let them speak now or forever hold their peace.” Stiles bit his tongue in anticipation. He knew no one would say anything so he was hoping the priest would get on with it. “Very well.. Both men have prepared their own vows..we shall begin with Mr. Stilinski.” he finished
“Derek...I have always been someone who thought I was going to be alone for the rest of my life..I'm sure a lot of others did to” the audience chuckled at that “But when I saw you..I knew that you were the one for me..I wanted nothing but to have you by my side..and now that you are..Nothing in this world is going to be able to separate us..nothing will change the absolute unconditional love I have for you. You are the reason I wake up everyday, the reason I take each and every breath, I want nothing more than to grow old with you and spend the rest of my life with you..I will love you forever and always”
The room was filled with a chorus of ‘awwe’s and cooing. Causing both men to smile.
Finally it was Derek’s turn, his eyes were threatening to betray him and break open the reservoir which would allow his tears to flow wildly.
“Stiles..when you bought me from the auction..I thought that you were gonna be like my previous two owners..cruel, unloving, and cold..but that first night you broke your back to show me that you were different. The day you told me you love me..it scared me, because before you no human had ever said that to me. But I believed you without even listening to your heart cause that’s the type of man you are, the type of man I fell in love with and am ready to be with you for the rest of my days. I want to spend every full moon by your side.. I want to be there with you through every high and low we face because we will face it together. You are my one true mate. I will love you forever and always” Derek finished just as the tears were about to make their appearance. He managed to just barely to push them down as the priest continued the service.
“It is by the power vested in me by the state of California I now pronounce you husband and husband..you may kiss” the priest said with a smile. Stiles all but lunged at the wolf who smiled around the kiss. Thunderous applause rang throughout the church.
“I love you Derek said as they parted their lips
“Forever and always” Stiles finished with a smile
