The panic attack starts to set in when Derek says "Don't worry, we don't have to... you know"

"We don't?" Stiles said, relieved but a little sad. He just messed up his chance to make out with Derek.

"I know something else we can do."

A few minutes later, the others are starting to wonder how it's going. They sneak over to the wardrobe to see if they can hear what's going on.

"It's not going to fit," they hear Derek say.

"It will," Stiles replies. "See?"

"Wow, you're really good at this."

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.

“oh my god,” stiles says, and fumbles to free him instinctively, before he realizes. “wait, wait, don’t go anywhere. i’m coming right back, okay? with like, help, and food.” 

but the dog’s still barely moving, even now. 

just pawing at the edge of the circle around him, and drawing back like he’s been shocked. 

one of those electric pet gates, maybe. but no way those are meant to be used like this, god. there’s barely room to fully turn around, for a dog this size. even just stretching looks like it’d be challenging.

“how does it work, huh?” stiles says, and reaches out, feels for a collar.

the whole time, the dog’s, like, shaking. 

“no collar,” stiles says, for the benefit of no one. “what is it then, like a chip?”

and good luck getting scott’s boss to come and do surgery right now. in the dark, in the ruins of the rumored-to-be haunted hale house. 

yeah, who’d turn down that offer?

okay, plan B. there’s a receiver, right? there’d have to be. underground, to mark the boundary. 

it’s a weirdly perfect-looking circle, now that stiles squints down at it. like, not lopsided at all, for a bunch of dirt that’s been poured out in a ring. and it looks poured, it looks like ashes.

a chill goes all down his spine for a second. 

“that’s not ashes,” stiles says, just to hear his own voice out loud. just to have something else to slightly distract him. “it’s not, and that’s gonna be my defense if i end up needing it. okay! fivefourthreetwo…one, go time.” 

he digs blindly for a couple seconds. dares himself to look back down. 

the circle’s gone. like, there’s not a single trace of it. 

which’ll probably only make digging up the boundary even harder, now that there’s nothing marking the spot on top of it. great job, stiles! 

but when he steps back a few feet, squinting, trying to will the sight of it back into his mind, the dog follows him. 

“that worked?!” stiles says, looking to the spot again, and the dog, who looks better already. like, a million times healthier, somehow. “i guess you just have to disturb it, huh? and that, like, blocks the frequency.” 

it doesn’t really make sense. but whatever, he’ll come back and solve that later. 

or maybe the dog just like, fought through the pain, and crossed it. just to stop stiles getting even more freaked out. 

stiles holds his palm out, lets the dog sniff it appraisingly. only realizing too late that his hands probably smell like dirt right now, maybe with a side of metal. 

the dog’s way ahead of him, anyway, speeding in circles around him, suddenly super-energized. 

Derek who gets possessive and territorial easily. He's a wolf and if someone else is looking at his mate, of course he wants to get aggressive but for the longest time he'll hide it. He'll oppress it and force it down cause he doesn't want to burden stiles by being this way. Doesn't wanna seem toxic or clingy or overbearing cause he knows that humans get that way. He's seen it when his mom curbed her jealousy cause his dad didn't like it. (Until eventually he finds out just how much it turns on Stiles when he's possessive)

I've been impatiently eagerly awaiting more chapters of They May Have Fallen But We Still Stand by @hellodystopianfuture, which is SO GOOD.

The piece of art I did referenced in this post! A scene from my upcoming multi-chapter fic, which I'll be sharing more about soon!

Not gonna lie--I'm super nervous. This is the first time I've finished a drawing in so long, and I'm trying to be okay with everything about it that isn't perfect.

But I love these boys, so here we are!
