    Summary

    “What day is it?” Derek demanded.

    “What?”

    “The day! What day is today?!” Derek let Stiles go, but only so he could reach into his pocket and pull out his phone. He tapped at the home screen, and then went so perfectly still that Stiles was pretty sure this guy wasn’t human. No human could stand that still.

    When it was clear Derek wasn’t going to move again without some prompting, Stiles said, “It’s Wednesday.”

    “That’s impossible,” Derek whispered.

    “Not really, it comes around every seven days.”

    “This is impossible,” Derek said again, looking around himself, as if he was searching for something.

    Summary

    Derek nodded once, reaching for it, all while reminding himself over and over again in his head to thank him with the pun. This was it, this was the moment for him. Stiles would realize he’d understood the pun from yesterday, and would laugh, and Derek would feel relieved, and everything would be great.

    His hand closed around the cup and he said, “Thanks for the latte.”

    Fuck.

    Fuck!

    Stiles looked startled, eyes dipping down to the drink Derek was now holding, and then back up. “Sorry, did you—I thought you wanted a coffee, did you want a latte?”

    “No.” Derek turned his back on him and walked away, resisting the urge to just head straight back to his car to drive off a cliff.

    Thanks a latte! The fucking pun was thanks a latte! Not thanks for the latte! Fuck! How had he messed it up so fucking badly?! It was three words!

    “That went well,” Boyd said, catching up with him. Derek just reached out to punch him hard in the arm without even looking.

    Summary

    The first time Stiles was offered the bite, he said no, but the universe only gave him the courtesy of asking so many times. When the inevitability of the bite catches up with him, Stiles has to face his new nature. Luckily, he has Derek by his side every step of the way.

    Summary

    They had always been this way.
    Stiles was the only one to pull Derek ashore,
    Guiding the sailor through the storm.
    Derek was the only one Stiles looked for,
    Searching for a boat to call his own.
    So, what would happen if a ship was in need of an anchor all along?

    (or the one where Derek and Stiles shares stories, dig up old traumas, patch up wounds and works through it all to make their new relationship works)

    Summary

    “Alright,” Jordan says, stepping up next to him and pushing him forward. Derek follows when he motions him up to the counter, relieved, because he may be the alpha but Jordan’s his captain, and he’s more than willing to let him take the lead. “You’re going to get him some coffee, and when you give it to him, you’re going to ask if you can get his phone number and if he’d be interested in a date when the season’s over. Offer to take him to a Guardians game or something. We’ll let Allison and Kira plan out the rest of your life tonight, but take it shift by shift until then, Chief.”

    “I take full responsibility for this,” Allison says, joining them at the counter and giving her drink order to the barista. “I should have taught him how to date back in college.”

    “I would have ignored you,” Derek says, sliding his card back in his wallet after they’re all done ordering. He hadn’t dated much in college—he hasn’t dated much at all since either if he’s being truthful, and nothing that could even resemble a relationship. A few dates during the off-season, a hook-up occasionally if he needed it, but Derek’s always been fairly content to be single.

    Until he got to know Stiles.
