[ open au ] moon baby

[benchwarming]

My pain is caused by my pleasure
And my soul mate lives in your body
I can't get you out of my head
It never goes away

( an au where stiles is a werewolf.
can be because he was bitten by peter hale instead of scott,
or possibly after he was offered the bite.
maybe he was always a werewolf. )

booo :<

[benchwarming]

[ Stiles looked at Derek, as if considering him deeply. Then, with a slow exhale, ]

You know I'm not Scott. Peter might have bit us both but I know this is both a gift and a death sentence. And you're the only one who's been willing to help us, so yeah, I'm willing to accept it.

this is the only thread i can tag right now ._.;;

[sassywolf]

Okay.

[ He gives Stiles a nod. ]

Have you learned to control the shift yet?

dude i like this thread. BE MY WOLF YODA DEREKKK

[benchwarming]

[ The calm acceptance is... nice. At least Derek isn't giving him shit. ]

I - no, not yet. I think I'll be able to but I'm not sure. Every time I get angry I think of my m - anchor and that keeps me from going any farther. So I don't know.

[ Imagining his mother's pained face if he got angry, yeah, that's good for keeping him down. ]

I am loving this thread so far! Wolf Yoda, I will be!

[sassywolf]

It's a start but you may need to find something stronger if you're going to successfully prevent a shift.

And you need to trust your body more if you want to heighten your senses.

hahajkvds

[benchwarming]

So I need to learn how to stop one and learn how to will one.

[ Then Stiles sighs, slumps forward. ]

Dude, I'm so used to my body kind of doing it's own thing and me fighting it, I don't even know how to start trusting it.

[ Aka, how did he start learning how to trust it. ]

B)

[sassywolf]

You run.

You run and keep running even if you feel so exhausted that it hurts to breath. It only until you collapse that you'll start to feel things you couldn't before, hear things you couldn't, smell and taste everything you couldn't.

[benchwarming]

That seems a little ... intense. You sure there's not a book I could read instead?

[ Still, even as he slumps further towards the ground, he's not really arguing about it. ]

I doubt that's a good idea to do tonight, though, considering the hunters and... school tomorrow.

[sassywolf]

Well if you don't have any big plans for the weekend, I would suggest maybe you do it then.

AHAHA WHOOPS

[benchwarming]

Yeah, probably. You think I could convince Scott to go with me?

[ Or maybe Derek, but he doesn't ask him about that, yet, just looks over at the other. ]

sdghoGJLKS XD

[sassywolf]

Do you think you could convince Scott to go with you?

[ It was the question Stiles should have been asking because Derek didn't know Scott half as well he would have liked, but perhaps that was his own fault. Either way, all three of them were stuck in this mess now, which meant they were family, whether they liked it or not. ]

shush

[benchwarming]

[ That thought may have warmed Stiles, at any other time. Right now he was only annoyed. ]

If I don't mention that you told me about it, maybe. But he also can't avoid you forever.

[ That Stiles wasn't avoiding Derek, was actually seeking him out, should be obvious in his tone. ]

neverrrrrr

[sassywolf]

Then ask him.

And no, he can't but I'm not about to go chasing him down unless he does something to jeopardize us.

[ Derek took his eyes off of Stiles finally, to pace. He couldn't help but feel something was off, something other than the fact that Stiles was just a werewolf now. It was twisting in his gut and Derek didn't like it. ]

<3

[benchwarming]

You mean more than he already has?

[ It's not bitter but tired. As a werewolf he can see more clearly where Scott stumbles, though he wants to show Scott his mistakes, not cut him up.

He watched Derek pace, eyes flashing for a moment as the sound of leaves crunching hit his ears, then stood. ]

Okay, you look and smell agitated. I think.

<33

[sassywolf]

Yeah.

[ It was already a problem but at least he could count on Chris to follow the code to some degree. Unlike Kate, he at least played by the rules and so long as Stiles and Scott did nothing to agitate him further, they were in the clear.

Derek on the other hand pretty much found himself painted with a target and cross hairs. He stopped pacing when Stiles spoke a second time. ]

You're learning.

[ But it didn't lay waste to that unsettling feeling. ]

[benchwarming]

[ Stiles shook his head. ]

No, you look agitated. I'm just, you know, memorizing the particular smell I think is going with that. What's eating you?

[ It could, Stiles knew, easily just be the hunters he'd just run from. But not volunteering that as the reason meant maybe Derek would tell him if there was something else. ]

[sassywolf]

You're learning. [ Repeated, a little more aggression creeping into his voice this time.

He sighed when he realized all Stiles wanted right now was to help. ]

I'm not sure yet.

[benchwarming]

[ Stiles looks like he wants to snap back at Derek - I'm not learning, I'm memorizing - but he visibly reigns himself in, exhaling heavily through his nose. ]

You just got a feeling, then?

[ Unlike Scott, who might sound dubious as to that evidence, Stiles sounds like he's more willing to believe it. Instincts, and all that. ]

[sassywolf]

[ Derek would argue that memorization is a form of learning but alas. ]

Yeah.

[ He folds his arms over his chest as he starts to recognize what it is. He doesn't like the familiarity of it and wonders if its even worth dancing around the issue with Stiles' heightened senses so he diverts it into a question. ]

You and Scott are pack now, right?

[benchwarming]

[ Stiles looks at Derek, raising both his eyebrows. ]

I'm with Scott. You know that. Are you asking if we're part of your pack?

[ It's perceptive, and he sighs softly. ]

Because I can't speak for Scott himself, but I ... want to be.

[sassywolf]

[ It was what he wanted to ask but didn't want to be outright about it. Giving a nod only when Stiles asked. ]

...You do?

[benchwarming]

[ Stiles shrugged, looking away while sliding his hands into his pockets. ]

Look, I know you killed Peter for revenge but, also, because if Scott became Alpha it'd just make things harder for him. Your methods may not always be what I want but you're not a bad guy. And you know the most out of all of us, even if I can look up a lot of it too.

[sassywolf]

There's plenty you've missed. [ He felt the need to point that out. ] But you come to the correct assumptions when it counts.

How are you going to explain it to your father?

[benchwarming]

No need to rub it in. [ Stiles grumbled about it, but he half grinned at Derek when he gave him credit where it was due.

Then he mentioned his dad. ]

Explain what to my dad? He'd believe me befriending a twice suspect, I think.

[sassywolf]

No, the whole creature of the night thing.

[ He didn't want to stick his head into business that wasn't exactly his own but if Stiles was pack then it sort of became his business and the Sheriff really wasn't the type that wouldn't notice more odd habits sprouting up in his son. ]

[benchwarming]

I don't want to tell him.

[ it was easy despite the words coming out in a rush, and he winced. ]

Look, he worries about me a lot and this? He would start worrying about me more. I'm pretty sure I can keep this under wraps, right now. I don't wanna not tell him ever but not right now.
