Derek was amused, his mate watching for the seventh time in a row the movie “Encanto”, watching Stiles as he sang the songs and been sad with Mirabel about her gift.
“Stiles, what’s wrong?” Derek asked, not knowing why his mate used his magic to turn off the screen.
“I can’t watch it anymore,” Stiles replied, not even facing his mate.
He felt the same as Mirabel when she didn’t get her gift, it was the same thing with the spark.
Stiles wasn’t even visible to Derek, he knew that his alpha’s mate never saw him, only when his so-called best friend was bitten, and now that he has the greatest spark, finally, he was seen.
Stiles never felt like he was good enough, he could relate with Mirabel about it, just like her Abuela told her.
He was never good enough, but now as the magic tingled in his hands, Stiles was happy, he won at everything that his heart was calling for, his dad seeing him, even talking with him, and Derek being his mate, and yes, he was powerful.
“Wait, maybe I can be in the movie, I’m the mage after all,” Stiles declares, maybe he could reach up to her and hug her, she looked like she needs a hug.
“Are you sure?” Derek asked as he looked at his mate.
“Positive,” Stiles confirmed, taking Derek’s hand in his as he asked, “Do you trust me?”
“Always.” Derek replied, staring at Stiles’s brown eyes, drowning at him, not even feeling as they were floating until the air was changed.
The air, the breeze, it was refreshing and there was no cloud in the sky.
Derek looked at his mate, and then around him, noticed the colorful in the ground, everything looked like it was taken from a postcard.
“This is so beautiful,” Derek told his mate who was near him, he could scent him nearby.
“Stiles?” Derek asked, his mate didn’t respond, which made him notice Stiles running over the ruined house, searching for Mirabel.
“Mirabel,” Stiles called, hearing the others calling her name, knowing where he should look after her, maybe catch an embrace before her Abuela.
“You are special,” Stiles told her, letting his magic warm her, and hugged her, “You are going to be alright, kid.”
“Stiles, come on, we need to go,” Derek urged him and led him away so Stiles could use the magic to get them back over Beacon Hills.
Derek hugged his mate, was glad that he was back at home.
Derek was taking Stiles’s hand and started dancing while singing to him.
“We don’t talk about Bruno-no-no-no…” Derek sang and danced with Stiles, happy to see those beautiful brown eyes sparkling with joy.
Derek knew that Stiles loves the songs from the movie, although the crack between Mirabel and Abuela, and even if his mate tried to hide how he really felt, Derek will make sure that his mate always is happy, and eventually will talk of what bothers him.
“No matter how many times I watch this movie, it always makes me feel toward Mirabel, I want to hug her, I know how she is feeling, I had that too, before the pack,” Stiles told him and broke the dance to sit on the sofa, before he added, “Did you know that before Jackson, Boyd, and the others were in your pack, did you know that they treated me poorly, even bullying me? I knew that I was never special until you show up when I and Scott were in the forest looking for his inhaler, no one saw me before, the real me.”
Derek sat next to his mate, his hands cupping Stiles, kissing him softly before he said it, “You are special, I love all of you, Stiles, my mate, and you are all mine.”
“And about Jackson and Boyd, I can take care of them if you wish,” Derek said with a smile, “After all, I’m the Alpha.”
Stiles brushed his finger over Derek’s lips, “You don’t need to, I have magic now, I can handle them myself, but if you want to, maybe just be rough of them while you spar with them, mostly at Jackson?”
“Your wish is my command,” Derek told him with a smile, kissing Stiles one more time, before he hugged him, and started to sing from the movie, “We see how brave you've been…”
“Derek… I didn’t know that you know all the songs.”
“How could I not? My mate loves this movie, and I love him.” Derek told him with a smile.
The End!
