Work Text:
Kira was curious about her boyfriend’s best friend. She knew that he was the mate to the other Alpha of the territory, but Scott had told her that he and Stiles were not allowed to discuss pack business at all. So, she asked if she could get to know his best friend and his boyfriend.
Walking into the loft behind Scott, she froze. Stiles was sitting on the couch with Shadow, glaring at Derek as the older man stood in the doorway to the kitchen.
“I'm sorry. Please talk to me,” Derek pleaded, knowing better than to approach his mate.
Stiles continued to glare at him in silence. Shadow was licking all over his face, and he was not phased in the least.
“Hello? World's most amazing person?? Sweet pea? Precious cinnamon roll that's too good for this world, too pure?” Derek said.
“'Sorry' doesn't bring back my fucking m&ms,” Stiles finally declared, looking away from Derek.
“Really, you ate his m&ms? I could have told you that he would murder someone for doing that. What were you thinking?” Scott asked, laughing. He pulled Kira over to the other couch and had her sit beside him.
“I didn’t realize that they were his. Isaac went through the cabinets the other day and moved everything around. I thought that they were mine, but apparently, I was wrong. I’m sorry baby,” Derek said, walking over to his boyfriend.
Kira saw the smirk on Stiles’ face before he changed it to a puppy-dog expression and looked up at Derek.
“Will you buy me more?” He pleaded, pouting up at him.
“Of course I will.”
Stiles smiled and accepted the kiss that he pressed to his forehead.

“You don’t have to tell me anything, just promise you’ll come to me if you need any help,” Stiles told Kira the first time that their packs had to work together. She gave him a look full of confusion.
“Are you really ok with that? With not knowing?” She asked.
“Whatever you’re doing, is your own business, not mine... I just want you to be safe. Derek calls me the pack mom, and that extends to Scott’s pack as well. Just because I am Derek’s mate doesn’t mean that I can’t be as protective over all the wolves. Just...watch after Scott and don’t let him get killed.”
Kira nodded. As she finished getting ready to head out, she watched Stiles. He went to each member of the pack and let them scent him. When he walked over to Derek, she watched as Derek simply held him tight.
“Why isn’t Stiles coming with us?” She whispered to Scott.
“The creature feeds off of magic. Stiles is safe here, in the loft. Derek and I will not let him get hurt again, that is one thing that we will always agree on,” Scott replied, looking over at his best friend.
“Love you too, Scotty. Be safe, I don’t want to have to explain to mom that you got hurt,” Stiles said, peeking out at Scott from Derek’s arms.
"I will try my best. Please act rationally for once and stay put. I would hate to have to explain to your dad that you got killed by a monster because you refused to stay in the loft."
"Low blow, sing the dad against me."
Kira shook her head, seeing the rest of the pack laugh at the interaction.

Derek and Kira arrived at the restaurant together, because their significant others had driven together after hanging out at the McCall house. Kira had to admire the older man, there was no question that the man was insanely handsome and you would have to be blind not to see that. Derek smiled at her reassuringly, making her smile in return.
"Hey, handsome," Derek greeted Stiles when they got to the restaurant.
"Hey, baby." Stiles smiled and gave him a kiss. "Hey, Kira, you look good.”
Kira shrugged, smiled, and looked behind Stiles. "Not as good as your boyfriend, but it’s hardly a competition. You look good too."
Stiles shrugged and turned around. "Scotty, come say hello to your girlfriend before I steal her from you."
Scott stood from the table that they were supposed to be sitting at.
"Stiles, poly marriages are illegal. Hey, baby," Scott walked over and pressed a soft kiss to Kira’s cheek.
"Hi honey, you look good," he said with a smile. He pressed a kiss to her lips, making her smile.
"Come on, let’s sit down and eat. We do have a pack of betas that need to be picked up at some point tonight before Peter kills them," Derek said, wrapping an arm around his mate and leading him over to their table.
"This is true. Plus, there is food to be eaten and Scott is starving," Stiles said, letting Derek pull his chair out.
"Well, I had to work today. Unlike some people," Scott said, pulling out Kira’s chair before taking his own seat. "Let's see what’s good."
As the evening goes, they all relax and start to have fun. Laughing at the jokes Stiles told, sometimes laugh at Kira when she said something she didn't quite get about them.
