Stranger Of Dark- Teen Wolf Fanfic (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/gU4ytwXaUM

Stiles and Scott have known about the dangers of the world they live in, since Scott became a werewolf, little under 3 years ago. But now the super natural world is changing.

And when Stiles witnesses a dream that might be the foretelling of a horrible future, the pack know they have to do something.

So Stiles is the 24-year-old son of a successful company and a foundation owner

His mom died pretty early in his life but he still remembers her (and yes, he misses her)

He's expected to take over the company once he turns 30 but he always misses important meetings and seems to spend too much money and no-one knows what he buys

When he misses a foundation-event (which is very unusual because Stiles absolutely loves playing with kids and trying to get them to be happy for a little while), he's called into an emergency meeting as tabloids and internet blogs have picked up on his absence and are publishing articles about him being drug addicted

The most important people of the company, including his dad, demand for him to explain where he always spends his time and since his father picked up on his frantic excuses that are getting more obvious lies every day he's not amused my Stiles' stutters

But when his dad says that Stiles is the future of the company and should learn to take responsibility and maintain a positive image he snaps

He yells at them that it's his life and they can't tell him what to do and that he doesn't want the future they want him to have and runs

He takes a random flight of a random country and ends up somewhere in the Alps in Switzerland, booking into some hotel and spends the first day curled up in his room, phone off, TV showing some documentary about wolfs

The next day Stiles decides to go for a walk, managing to get lost when it starts snowing heavily

He's hopelessly running through the woods, clothes all wet from the snow, not seeing a thing and calling for help when he stumbles over a cabin

The door isn't locked, so he walks in and collapses on the floor

When he wakes up he's lying on a couch, staring at a huge, handsome man, who's scowling down at him

Stiles yelps and falls off the couch

"What the fuck, dude? What's your problem?"

"You are the one that broke into my house."

"I... the door was open."

"Doesn't give you permission."

And the guy won't stop glaring and frankly, it's getting on Stiles' nerves

"Alright, grumpy cat. No need to glare me to death. Just let me use your phone and I'll be out of your hair in a minute."

"I don't have a phone."

"Uhm, E-Mail?"

"No Internet-connection."

"Then would you consider driving me to the next town?"

"I don't have a car either."

"And hooow am I gonna get back to civilization?"

"There's nothing out here. The next town is several miles away. Walking would take a whole day."

"And how do you stay alive out here? Do you hunt down innocent rabbits or something? Steal eggs from birds? Look for berries? Get water from the lake that must be around here somewhere?"

The guy scoffs at Stiles. "I have someone who brings me food and other stuff once a month."

"And when is their next visit scheduled?"

Cabin-man (who kinda looks like Superman. If Superman would wear henleys and dark jeans and won't shave for some weeks. Stiles is a tiny bit intimidated) sighs like Stiles is the worst thing he ever encountered. Which, rude.

"In two weeks."

"Great, I'll stay here for the time being."

"No way. That's not happening."

"And where do you suggest me to stay instead? Think one of your many neighbors has a guestroom he doesn't need?"

The guy sighs again - honestly, doesn't he know how to use words? - and rolls his eyes

"Fine. Two weeks."

"Great. Do you have a second bed or will I take the couch?"

Stiles gets to take a shower - how is it that grumpy cat has a huge house (seriously, it's huge and beautiful, all woody and glass) and hot water but no phone or internet? - and caveman lends him clothes that aren't dripping with melting snow (and are only a little bit too wide because Stiles and he share the same high but the guy also has the build of Superman and not just the face and that's so unfair)

Caveman introduces himself as "Derek" and raises one impressive eyebrow when Stiles offers a "Stiles Stilinski"

They drink coffee and Derek shows Stiles a surprisingly comfortable guest room. He even gets two blankets because yes, it's damn cold even inside the house

The next day, Stiles wakes up to Derek chopping wood outside and they silently eat breakfast together

Stiles is pacing around, drumming beats on every surface when Derek snaps at him to please keep quiet or read a book

Stiles snaps back that he can't stop it because he hasn't had his Adderall (and nearly pulls out his hair when he realizes that he'll go into withdrawal in the next few days)

Derek snorts and is all "Nice, so I'm stuck with some Idiot who managed to get lost in the middle of a snowstorm and to top that off, said Idiots has ADHD?"

"Woha dude, you seriously need to lighten up."

"Don't call me dude."

"Alright, grumpy cat, you really don't have a phone or a laptop? Fax? Light symbols? An owl?"

"No. You have to play Harry Potter somewhere else."

"Ha, so you  know pop culture!"

"I choose to live like this. Doesn't mean that I always did."

Stiles spends the rest of the day asking Derek tons of questions - "Who's your favorite character? Do you know Star Wars? Can we please talk Sherlock?" - and only getting one-word answers

Most days go like this until Stiles starts cooking because he already read half of Derek's (impressive yet boring) library and needs to keep his hands busy

Derek mostly reads or work on texts and keeps to himself and it's bugging Stiles because there's nothing to do around here

"Seriously, can't you answer one of my questions with more than two words?"

"No."

"Why are you here anyway? I mean you clearly aren't from Switzerland."

"What gave me away."

"Mark the date! Derek said more than two words! And your ability to speak English with an accent that sounds a bit like mine."

"Derek. Deeerek."

"What."

"It's so quiet."

"Yes."

"It's too quiet."

"No."

"Derek!"

"Hey, grumpy cat?"

"Stiles."

"Don't you have anything to do for me? I'm really bored."

"... Do you play chess?"

Turns out that both of them are really good at chess (and that Derek hasn't played in ages because "it's a two-person game, Stiles.")

Derek starts to open up a bit more. At one point, he talks two hours about why Remus Lupin is his most-favorite character. And another two hours on why John Snow is boring.

Stiles tells him about his life (born in Beacon Hills, moved to New York after his mom's death). He also tells him that while he loves the foundation of his family, he hates the company and secretly studies at Columbia University which is where the money goes everyone thinks he's spending on drugs and why he misses some events

(Derek is actually impressed)

Derek quietly tells him that he used to be a middle-school teacher but won't tell why he moved out there

They actually get along well with Stiles finding himself falling for Derek because the guy may glare more than laugh but he's a huge marshmallow underneath

But then Stiles stumbles into Derek's room one morning to lend another shirt and Derek's not there so he goes to the closet and finds a small box under the shirts

It's filled with old articles cut from magazines, a picture of a huge family (Derek had to be around 13 on that photograph) and a small stuffed wolf

And when Stiles sees the picture it clicks

Because Derek is Derek Hale from Beacon Hills who's family died in a fire (Stiles only knows this because he stayed in contact with his kindergarten friend Scott who told him about that)

Derek comes into the room when Stiles is staring at the photo and loses it

He yells at Stiles for touching his stuff and why he can't just leave Derek alone

And Stiles accidentally lets the picture fall because Derek scared him

He runs out, quickly getting lost again in the wood and are those wolfs he hears?

He's running around for hours, not knowing where he is and slowly freezing because he didn't take a jacket with him

But right when he thinks that he'll die out there, Derek's there, pulling him into his arms with a breathless "Stiles." when he sees him

Back in the cabin Stiles gets covered with every blanket Derek can find

And while he drinks tea and a fire is crackling away in the fireplace, Derek tells him his story

His family, the Hales, were pretty famous in Beacon Hills. Thalia Hale was a well-known advocate, her brother Peter owned a wolf sanctuary and her husband Dave was an author

When Derek was 15, his mom managed to frame one Gerard Argent who had killed several people as a doctor in a hospital by poisoning them and watching them slowly die ("Like that guy in Sherlock?" "Yes, like that guy in Sherlock.")

Thalia got several threats against her life and that of her family but finished the case and Gerard Argent was charged with murder and had to pay a huge sum to the families of the victims and also faced a life imprisonment

The Argents were in the papers for months even though Gerard's kids didn't have anything to do with it

When Derek was 16 he met Kate, an older woman who was clearly interested in him and he dated her, kissed her and slept with her

She always asked about his family but he thought it normal since he got many questions about them anyway

But One night, when his whole family was gathered due to his dad's birthday, there suddenly was a fire. It spread fast and they couldn't make it outside because all the doors were looked

Laura, Derek, and Cora where the only survivors

Laura took them to New York were she finished her degree and managed to pick up Thalia's job while Derek decided to study to become a teacher once he finished High School

But some years later, when Derek was 25 ("Wait, how old are you now?" "I'm 32." "Holy shit."), they started to get threats

Cora went missing the next day

When Derek was 27, Cora's remains were found. Evidence led to one Kate Argent, Gerard Argent's daughter who wanted revenge for her dad.

Before the police could catch her and before Derek could tell Laura, Kate managed to crash her cars into Laura's, killing both of them on impact

Derek fleed to Switzerland, believing that it was his fault because he didn't see the danger Kate displayed or the person she really was

"Why Switzerland, though?"

"My mom loved snow and peace. This was our family getaway because here, no-one knew us."

"Oh, that's why this place is so huge?"

They talked some more about everything and anything and when they parted for the night, Stiles hugged Derek close

"You aren't at fault, Derek. Kate Argent is the villain here. I hope you know that."

And if Derek pulls Stiles a little bit closer and buries his face in his neck, no-one has to know but them

The next couple of days were filled with a new kind of warmth

Derek chopped wood while Stiles made breakfast, they played chess and somehow, Derek started to read Stiles some of his favorite passages from his favorite books (which aren't as boring as Stiles thought)

The day before Stiles is set to leave, they cook together and make s'mores over a candle. And they laugh a lot and Stiles doesn't know how he ended up so close to Derek but there's this gorgeous face of this gorgeous man and Stiles kisses him

It's slow and sweet and Stiles doesn't want to stop

They don't have sex but they cuddle and kiss the whole night on Derek's bed, falling asleep shortly before the sun starts to rise

Waking up in Derek's arms makes Stiles want to stay but when he tells Derek so, the man tells him to go because he can't stay with him forever

They fight because Stiles doesn't want to go and also doesn't think that Derek should tell him what to do because that is the thing that made him run from his own dad in the first place and it ends with Stiles leaving with the delivery guy

When he looks back through the window, he swears he can see Derek crying

When he reaches the hotel his dad is there

Turns out he got really really worried when he couldn't get a hold of Stiles after the fight that he let someone trace Stiles' credit card and followed him to Switzerland

Stiles never hugged his dad so hard in all of his life

Back in New York - and after he let Scott know that he was fine and alive - he calls a meeting himself, telling everyone who has something to say about the company that he doesn't want to take over the company and that he's studying at Columbia

They settle on Stiles taking over the foundation because he always loved it and him helping them to find someone suitable to take over the company once his dad had plans to retire

Stiles get's to go to Columbia without having to make up some lies and the press quickly picks up on it. There are still scandals about him but he has a pretty positive image now

A month later, Scott comes to visit him

And it takes the man all but two minutes to see that Stiles isn't happy at all

Stiles tells him the story of Derek and Scott smiles at him

"You are in love with him."

"What?! No! No way!"

"Stiles. Go get him."

And maybe Scott is right. Scratch that, Scott is definitely right and Stiles needs to mark this date on his calendar because Scott is rarely right about something

But he won't go to Switzerland because Derek wanted him to leave

Three days later, Stiles gets picked up by Derek once his classes have finished

The fucker just leans against a really beautiful Camaro, wearing that red thumb-hole jumper Stiles really loves and looks all hopeful when he spots Stiles

Funnily enough, Stiles first question isn't what Derek is doing here

"Where did you get that car?"

"I left it here when I run to Switzerland."

"And what made you come back?"

"I don't know."

"Well, we better make you find a good reason then."

And they kiss against the Camaro

"Wait, how did you know when I have classes?"

"I googled your company - yes Stiles, I know how to use the internet, don't look at me like that - and went to see your dad-"

"You went to see my dad? Holy crap, you love me."

"I... I do. I love you."

"Good. I love you too."

Bonus:

Derek decides to move in with Stiles. He ends up applying and getting accepted as a middle school teacher for English and history. Stiles is not surprised.

Stiles' dad loves Derek and vice versa. The two of them like to watch baseball together. The "Call me John, son." wasn't a surprise to anyone

The Company chooses one Lydia Martin as Stiles' "lifesaver", as he calls it. She's a young, beautiful, incredibly intelligent woman. They hit it off immediately, two clever people finally having someone to challenge them

Stiles graduates with honors and several job offers. No-one but Derek knows what exactly he studied but they are all extremely proud of him.

"Sterek" become the Dream-couple of charity work. Whenever Stiles does something, Derek is there too and when Derek starts to work with kids who lost their family, Stiles is there to support him along the way

Derek cries when Lydia asks him to be the godfather of her first child ("No Stiles, I haven't forgotten about you. But Jackson really wanted Derek to be the godfather and I have no idea why but he was the second one on my list so he'll get the job this time.")

They sometimes have bad days. Derek is in therapy now but it resulted in the worst nightmares once he started going. Stiles one day finds a letter from his mother addressed to him in one of the books she loved and he wanted to give to Derek. He isn't able to leave the bed for days. But they are always there for each other.

The tabloids ship them. So does everyone else.

Derek is 36 when he finally realizes that he found a new family. It's Christmas and he ends up in the center of a massive group hug, carefully of his goddaughter sleeping in his arms, when he tells them he loves them.

This video really gets me every time I see it... He’s so freaking cute/adorable, and seems like just a nice, pretty normal guy when he sits down and talks like this like I could meet him at a bookstore or something. 

Ruebin my friend!!!! I hope you like this lil thing I wrote ^^ It’s kinda short but sweet too, you feel? 

(Thanks to @drgrlfriend for making this ficlet SO MUCH BETTER)

Title: Make Me Go Blind

Stiles likes to think that he is, in general, a professional. Sure, he hasmoments where he gets frustrated – whenever one of the kids gets into a fightagain, or pees in their pants – but he usually keeps his calm. Kids are, afterall, child’s play (pun intended) compared to some of the adults in Stiles’life. Toddlers are generally more likely to follow Stiles’ orders than adults,in any case.

There’s just one teensy thing that always throws a wrench in Stiles’professional facade – Derek Hale.
