Summary
It’s John’s kid. It’s the boy John trusted him with from the moment he handed over the car keys and said, “Teach him to drive. Just don’t let him crash.”
It’s the boy John let him pick up from school when he was too sick to go in. The one Derek watched grow out of braces and bad skin and into something bright and sharp and undeniable.He closes his eyes for a beat too long.
Just a second. But it slips. The effort of holding still, of pretending he doesn’t feel Stiles leaning in, slowly unraveling.
You don’t get to do this, he tells himself.
You don’t get to want this.
But he does. God, he does. He wants it so badly it makes him sick.
One move. That’s all it would take. Just turn. Just tilt his head. Just meet him.
Stiles Stilinski is twenty-two. Derek Hale is forty-one. They are not supposed to be anything but what they’ve always been. But nothing feels like it used to.
