    Summary

    He should’ve kept his mouth shut. He should’ve smiled like always. Now everything was ruined, crushed, destroyed. Dust, shards, and the remnants of his pride. Love that no one needed.

    Derek’s gaze scalded the side of his face but Stiles refused to meet it. He had already revealed too much.

    Summary

    There was no physical equivalent to what it felt like they did, so intimate it was. It was seeing each other naked, it was deep make-outs, it was dry-humping, and it was sex, but it was none of it. Perhaps, if someone opened their chest cavities, took their hearts and squished them together, that’s what it would feel like — feeling their valves open and close, the blood pump, the muscles contract, and one heartbeat pulse right into the other.

    Derek offered his hand. “Let me show you one more time.”

    “Show me what?”

    “What would it feel like to have an alpha.”

    Warmth burst in Stiles’ tight chest. His stomach swooped. His spark trembled in anticipation, reaching out, striving to taste that power again. Going red under the constant gaze of those hazel eyes, Stiles put his hand in Derek’s. He couldn’t help but give a small inhale at their sparks meeting once more.

    Heat. Weight and weightlessness. Tight embrace and high, impenetrable walls. Power. Safety.

    Summary

    [Stiles]
    I can’t sleep :(

    He knew staring wasn’t going to make Derek respond any faster—if he was even awake this time—but he kept the message open anyway, waiting. After a solid minute, he was pretty sure Derek was asleep, and was about to put his phone back down when he finally saw the three dots appear, denoting that he was typing.

    Waiting, he knew Derek had to be typing and deleting things, because he spent much too long typing for the two words he sent in response over thirty seconds later.

    [Derek]
    Who cares?

    “Wha—?” Stiles sputtered aloud, and then began to respond immediately.

    [Stiles]
    :(
    [Stiles]
    don’t you care about me now?

    Summary

    “Always such a smartass,” Finstock insisted, shaking his head. “What, you want a gold star for your mediocre performance?”

    “If you’ve got any, I’d love one,” Stiles informed him.

    “You’re too old for a gold star, Bilinski.”

    “Hey, hey,” Stiles argued, holding one hand out towards the man as he headed back for the board—evidently forgetting Greenberg now had his marker. “Sometimes adults need gold stars, too.” When Coach turned back to give him a look, Stiles just shrug-flailed. “We’re all just little gremlins starving for attention! Do you know how satisfying a gold star would be? Right here?” Stiles motioned his right pectoral up near his shoulder. “Just a cute little star right there. ‘Good Job!’ or ‘I’m proud of you!’ or even just ‘Well done!’ So satisfying. Or what about like, a hero biscuit?” Stiles mimed nibbling on a cookie. “Cute little bone-shaped cookie made for heroes? Wouldn’t that just brighten your day?”

    “Stop talking or I’ll bench you.”

    “I’m always benched,” Stiles argued.

    Summary

    “How are you?” Stiles asked, falling onto the couch beside Derek and leaning heavily into him. “How was your day? How’s the book?” He kissed his cheek once. Twice. Then two more times in quick succession.

    Derek turned to look at him, Stiles affecting his most innocent expression as he patiently waited for Derek to answer his questions.

    Instead of doing so, Derek slowly closed his book, losing his page, and set it on the coffee table in front of them. Then he turned to look at Stiles, leaning back slightly against the arm rest, and crossed his arms.

    “What do you want?”
