Okay, he's not running down the stairs and out the front door, and that's
good. That's something. And Derek talking with that mouthful of
fangs...isn't actually that creepy. It's actually kind of a relief, that
Derek's as worried as Stiles is. He thinks. At least he isn't saying
anything about hoping Scott gets himself killed, or leaving him to it, but
he didn't expect that from Derek, anyway. Not really. Everyone is Derek's
responsibility, whether they know it or not. It's one of the things that
makes him such a....well, not necessarily good Alpha, but hell. At
least he's got good intentions. He just kind of fails at the
follow-through. But he's listening, and he's asking relevant questions, and
God that's all Stiles can really ask for right now.
Have they all been there at the same time before? Any time in the last two
weeks? He can't remember. Any fall before this one, all the way back at
least ten years or so, that answer would have been easy. He always spent
Friday afternoons after school with the McCalls, and sometimes Friday
nights and Saturday mornings. And Isaac is almost always around, so that
part's easy too, and he just takes the twinge of jealousy that gives him
and shoves it back in that box with all the rest of that stuff he's not
thinking about. It's getting kinda full these days. He's gonna need to
upsize. But..."I...think so? But I don't remember. I don't go to Scott's as
much these days, but there's got to have been at least one day. You think
they're waiting to get us all together, or waiting til we split up? Because
I don't know, I don't think they saw me." Not that they'd be looking.
There's no reason for the Alphas to go after him. He isn't wolf, he isn't
Pack. Right? In lieu of Derek's hand on him, Stiles wraps arms around
himself. He can't lose focus now, not when Scott needs him again. The
dummy. Even after everything, he's still Stiles' best friend. "But I
think...I think that might be where they're keeping Erica and Boyd. It
wouldn't make sense to let them out of sight, right? And Scott's mom
mentioned a family, so..." So maybe that's all of them right there. Maybe
for once, this doesn't have to be impossible.
