Stiles groaned slamming his door behind him.His day was terrible and he go the shit beat out of him today.But that's not even the part that effected him,the part that hurt was knowing he had to hide it or Scott would go ballistic.That was their goal in the first place to anger Scott well that's what Stiles had pieced together.

There was a cold chill in his room which meant that one of the pack members had climbed through his window.Thankfully it wasn't Scott but worse it was Derek who looked even more pissed than Stiles had ever seen Scott.He stormed over to the sulking teen and surprisingly gently grabbed his face in his hand.

"Who did this?" He growled lowly while he clenched his free hand into a tight fist.As angry as he was he would never harm his mate.He loved the fragile teen way to much to cause him harm.

Stiles stared at him blankly "It doesn't matter." He deadpanned.The wolf glared at him suspiciously and raised an eyebrow in question.

"Yes it does Stiles,now who did this to you?" Derek was not amused by Stiles just brushing this off.

"No one,now drop it or go away." Stiled growled before pushing his hand off of him.

"Don't just blow this off Stiles!It's serious!" Derek was becoming increasingly irritated with his boyfriend.

"Why do you even care?It doesn't matter so just leave it alone." Stiles opened a book before he began reading it.Derek grabbed the book out of his hands and threw it at the wall.

Stiles' eyes sparked with annoyance as he glared at him."Hey!I was reading that you ass!Just go away if you're going to be a dick!" Derek frowned at this.

"I'm just trying to protect you Stiles!" He yelled back out of frustration.This only proved to provoke Stiles further.

"I'm not a little kid Derek!You don't have to protect me.You can't protect me from everything!" He yelled with a few tears slipping from his eyes.

"Yes I can!I'm only doing this because I love you." He spoke softly while taking a few steps so that he in front of him.He gently grabbed Stiles and pulled him into a tight embrace.

"I love you too Derek." He replied before nuzzling his face into his shoulder.The two ended up watching a movie together before Stiles fell asleep cuddled up on Derek's lap.The older male smiled softly kissing his forehead before he moved him into a more comfortable sleeping position.

"Goodnight Stiles,I love you." He whispered tucking him in before he climbed out the window.Dropped onto his feet he began on his way back to his loft with his thoughts filled with Stiles.And Stiles only.
