   Summary

   “I’m sorry I’ve been so busy,” Stiles says the next night, much to Derek’s surprise. Stiles sinks against him in the entryway and Derek clings back tightly, taking all he can get. 

   He presses a kiss to Stiles’ shoulder, stalling for time. He must say his next words correctly, perfectly. To make Stiles stay. So Derek will look good in his eyes. So Stiles will still love him.

   “It’s okay,” is all he manages. 

   “I knew you’d understand,” Stiles says against Derek’s hair, but it’s hard to hear over the sound of Derek’s heart breaking.
