a sick!derek snippet, teen wolf (emeto, h/c)
(pure self indulgence. he's poisoned again, idk. Enjoy!)
For being such a big guy (as Stiles’d homoerotically christened him), Derek looked surprisingly small as he crouched over the toilet, limbs shaking and chapped lips parted in nausea-heavy pants, heart pounding with fulsome dread that mounted with his rising gorge. This was going to suck.
The panting hitched into a gag, and he instinctively clutched at the bowl with a rattling marble click of claws against porcelain. Spots danced in the blackness of his tunnel vision; he inhaled shakily, coughed hard enough to crack his chest, and then doubled over and vomited a violent torrent of black bile, gasping in the aftermath and blinking away a flood of burning tears, nostrils dripping charcoal grey.
Alone, sick, and suffering, Derek Hale spat into the bowl and whimpered like a little boy, wishing he was one again so his mother could comfort him.
Another wrenching heave surged out of him, leaving him trembling and panting in the aftermath, sweat prickling – or was that hair? The physical stress and panic of being sick was making him turn. Danger, screamed his amygdala, and his bestial hormones responded, the wolf uncurling with weary vengeance to face the unknown threat that was causing all the red-alert alarms to go off.
His pointed ears twitched as he heard soft footsteps pad down the carpeted hall, a knock at the door. “Derek? Honey, you okay in there?” Without waiting for a response, Scott’s mom Melissa turned the knob and stood there eyeballing him with nurselike proficiency that jolted into shocked sympathy when he turned around and she saw his face. “Oh, sweetie.”
As Derek suffered a momentary aneurysm trying to remember the last time anyone’d called him that, Melissa was already rubbing soft circles on his back, asking if it was something he ate, was it wolfsbane? Did he want some water? And all Derek’s short-circuiting brain could produce in response was a choked, quiet “it hurts.”
