    Summary

    volta (n.) a turning point or point of change in a poem, most commonly a sonnet.

    *

    Derek watches as Dex’s eyes flick over the poem. He pushes back the dishevelled hair in his face like it’ll help him see clearer. He mouths the words as he goes, pauses, reads each line again. His fingers tap against the page in iambic pentameter. When he comes to the final line, his lips pull up into a barely there smile. “That in black ink my love may still shine bright,” he murmurs. “That is kinda nice.”

     

    (Or, five times a poem doesn’t reach its intended recipient, and one time it does; five drafts, and one work completed; five turning points, and one ending.)

    Summary

    “You are the worst person to have to keep tracking down. Have I told you that recently?”

    Derek sighs and opens his front door a little wider to let Stiles in. “Only every other time you’ve tracked me down.”

    Summary

    He catches Derek by the arm and Derek lets himself be turned, surprised when Stiles shoves a small box into his hands. “I don’t know if you still celebrate it or what but… I wanted you to know someone was thinking about you. Happy birthday.”

    Then he squeezes Derek’s arm and bolts, gone before Derek can think to stop him.

    He opens the box standing there, only to find one singular, misshapen, sloppily-frosted, cupcake, with a candle in the box next to it. It’s kind of squished despite the paper towel all around it to keep it from banging around in the box.

    Derek has to take a moment to sit down because yeah, he can’t deny it anymore.

    He’s gone on Stiles.

    Summary

    Where Derek's skills at thinking on his feet mean that he and Stiles have to act. For the sake of Stiles' dad, of course, for the sake of the pack. No personal interest interference at all, whatsoever. Right.

    -0-

    “Why does my dad say that you and your boyfriend are a bad influence on me?”

    “What?”

    “Yeah, what boyfriend? Dude, you are not allowed to not tell me crap like this. You didn't think I'd like be a douchebag or something. Right?”

    “No, wait, what? I have no boyfriend.”

    “He says you were with him at the police station.”

    Stiles blinks. “Uhm. Oh shit.”
