Chapter Text
(1)
Isaac is an insomniac. He always had trouble sleeping, but after the bite, it just got worse. Whether Isaac's insomnia is brought on himself due to his nightmares, or if it's real, Derek will never know. Most nights Isaac stays in his bed, staring out the window, as not to disturb anyone else in the loft. But there are occasion, not very rare ones either, that Derek will be woken to Isaac pacing in front of the window. There have been nights when Derek has had to force Isaac back up to his bed and stayed with him, sometimes holding him down, until he falls asleep.
(2)
He can solve a Rubix Cube in less than two minutes. A talent that is near pointless that entertains Derek to know end. It's just something to do to pass the time and to keep his hands busy. He found the cube in his gym locker when he first started playing lacrosse, it was unsolved and he was determined to figure out how to solve it.
(3)
Isaac likes to be held. It began not too long after Isaac moved into the traincar. The teenager woke up screaming from a nightmare and the only way Derek could calm him down was to hold him. As soon as the alpha's arms were around him, his heart rate steadied and he stopped crying after a minute. It didn't take long for it to become a regular thing, whenever Isaac got overwhelmed with something or his anxiety kicked into high gear, for Derek to roll his eyes and wrap his arms around the beta's shoulders.
(4)
He cannot cook to save his life. Not too long after the pack moved into the loft, they started taking turns cooking dinner. Derek would cook a nice, balanced meal for the pack. Boyd usually made hotdogs or burgers and box mac and cheese, because it was the easiest thing for him to cook. Erica's specialty was pasta, any kind of pasta; fettuccini alfredo, pasta primavera, vodka pasta, spaghetti Bolognese, she made it all. On Isaac's first night to cook, he ended up setting the kitchen on fire, and they ordered pizza, thus ending Isaac's rotation in the cooking.
(5)
Isaac is far more insecure that he lets on. Most people who hang around Isaac for more than a few days, and actually pay attention to him, can see through his tough guy act and see that he's just a scared kid, not that he'll willingly show that side to anybody. But there's something about Derek, maybe it's his former alpha status, or the connection between the two due to the bite, or something else entirely, but Isaac isn't afraid to ask Derek if he's doing okay or show that he feels like he's done something wrong when Derek raises his voice.
(6)
He sings in the shower. Those stupid songs from the late 1990's and the early 2000's that everyone knows the lyrics to, but hates to admit. One of the songs that he sings the most of is an N'Sync song. Bye, Bye, Bye.
(7)
Isaac kissed Derek.
