Pairing: Stiles Stilinski x Reader
Summary: This a rewrite of a ficlet I wrote like, two years back, because why not. You can find the original here.

Your finger hovered over the “call” button on your screen for a good minute before you decided to throw it on your bed. It was a little after midnight, and he would be sleeping anyway. Still, you desperately needed to talk to Stiles- you desperately needed to know that he was alright.
The truth was, despite maintaining your composure, you had no idea how to handle the events that occurred the last two days. You could still hear Scott’s voice, repeating the words “Stiles is missing” over and over again. You could still hear Stiles’ voice repeating, “It’s called Frontotemporal Dementia, it’s what killed my mom” over and over again. This loop in your mind didn’t seem to come to an end.
You were a chronic insomniac, but this kind of sleep deprivation you were experiencing was painful because you couldn’t recall how long you had stayed awake. Sleeping pills didn’t seem to be much help either.
You knew what you needed- you needed him. His touch, his scent, his warmth- him. You wanted to call him, but you didn’t- it seemed like a selfish thing to do because you knew he was as exhausted as you were, if not more.
You kept biting your lips until you could taste the metal of blood in your mouth in an attempt to calm down before your tears became sobs. Your phone vibrating, thankfully, made you instantly snap out of your thoughts.
“Stiles?” you asked as soon as you picked up the phone. His heavy breathing from the other line had you agonizing before he finally spoke up. “Can I come to see you?” he asked. His voice was oddly calm but devastated at the same time.
Instinctively, you glanced at the flip clock on your nightstand. “It’s almost one-thirty in the morning,” you pointed out, a sigh escaping your lips. “Do you want me to come to pick you up?” you questioned after a moment of silence. “No, I got this,” Stiles answered in a weak voice, and you could already hear his Jeep keys jiggling. You weren’t quite sure it was safe for him to drive, but it was only a five-minute drive- hence, you gave in.
“Okay,” you whispered, “I will be waiting for you.” And with that, the line went dead.
No longer than ten minutes later, you had Stiles laying on your chest, his arm hugging your torso tightly. Your room was so quiet only the sound of your breathing could be heard, which actually calmed you down to the point you were moments away from being claimed by sleep.
“Stiles?” you suddenly asked, shooting a sitting position, causing him to sit up as well. It was too dark to distinguish his features, so your hand reached to cup his face- sure enough, you felt his tears moistening your palms like they had moistened your shirt.
“What’s wrong?” you whispered. Stiles let out a whimper. “I don’t know,” he said in a broken voice- you could tell he was really trying to hold back his tears to no avail. And you couldn’t blame him. Something happened to him the night of the eclipse, something he couldn’t pinpoint, and it had visible consequences.
“Something is fucking with my mind,” he cried. You couldn’t help silently crying, too, as all you could do was hold him and whisper soothing words in his ear. “We’ll figure it out, I promise,” you kept repeating.
When you and Stiles finally calmed down, the sun could be seen rising from your window, and you were both on the verge of collapse. “I think we need to sleep,” you said softly, running your fingers through Stiles’ messy hair, though he was already half-asleep. He didn’t respond, which was your cue to finally go to sleep, too.
“I love you so much, Y/N,” was the last thing to hear before you drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
You didn’t know for how long you were asleep, but when you woke up, Stiles was nowhere to be found.

*Flashback*
“Do you have a death wish, Y/N?” Derek crossed his arms over his chest, leaning against the doorframe, blocking the exit. You raised an eyebrow, sort of glaring at him.
“Do you?” you talked back at him, smiling coldly. Derek’s jaw clenched as he suppressed the urge to give you a piece of his mind. You had been giving him attitude for the past few days, and even if he was fully aware you disliked being told what to do, he was still your Alpha and had obligation to protect you.
“In case you forgot, Argent has already tried to kill you twice,” he acknowledged. “And failed to do so, twice,” you responded bitterly.
Derek sighed. “I’m only trying to keep you safe, Y/N/N. Please, just listen to me,” he said. Your gaze softened. “I’ll be fine, Derek,” you muttered, making your way out of the loft.
*End of flashback*
You weren’t exactly sure how you had found yourself running through the woods for dear life. There was, however, something you knew for certain: if you made it out alive, you’d never disregard Derek again. You were getting weaker, however, every second that went by. The possibility of you surviving seemed considerably unrealistic.
You hissed in pain, removing an arrow from your abdomen and hurriedly pressing with your hand against the cut to stem the bleeding, only to realize that you had been poisoned with wolf’s bane- you weren’t healing. You were seriously injured, and teetering on the edge of unconsciousness, yet you refused to give up.
“I have to admit, Y/N, you gave me quite a hard time,” Gerald Argent commented, examining your bloodied features. You scoffed, “yeah, well. Facilitating your process of killing me wasn’t exactly on my to-do list,” you replied sarcastically, aching with every breath you took.
“You’re something else, aren’t you? For a newly turned Beta, you’re quite skilled. I’m sure you’re Derek’s favorite,” he pointed out, laughing devilishly. “It’s a shame you have to die this way, so young and innocent.”
Realization hit you. You were really going to die, if you didn’t do something drastic. With every bit of power you had left, you roared. Assuming Derek was searching for you, you had given away your position.
“Your life is completely in my hands; quit testing my boundaries, sweetheart,” Gerald warned, aiming a gun between your eyes. “Do you have any last words?” There was a brief moment of silence.
“Look behind you,” you breathed.
Derek emerged from the shadows, fully turned in his werewolf form. He neared Gerald in no time, instantly disarming him. “You didn’t actually believe I’d let you kill my Beta, did you?” he asked. To say his voice was infuriated, was an understatement. “Hunting her down alone was a seriously bad idea, Argent.”
–
“SON OF A-” you cried, immediately waking up. “Hold her still!” Deaton shouted, pressing a syringe in your carotid, which you supposed contained the antidote for Aconitum. The pain was sending you over the edge, causing you to dig your claws in your Alpha’s skin, who held your hands pinned against the cold metal table.
After a few moments that felt like centuries, the veterinarian removed the needle from your neck. He gently pressed a cotton pad soaked in rubbing alcohol to where he injected you and gave you a sympathetic smile. “You almost died. Welcome back,” he simply said, earning a chuckle from you.
Deaton shot a knowing look at Derek. “I’m sure you two have a lot to discuss.” Derek nodded lightly, and Allan hustled out of the room, leaving you alone with your Alpha.
He wasn’t protective over you only because you were his Beta. He was protective over you because you were his anchor. There was something, in that intractable character of yours, that brought out the best of him. He felt responsible for you, as your Alpha and as your guardian. You were the closest person he had to a family. He needed to know you were safe. The idea of your getting hurt terrified him.
“Did you kill him?” your croaked voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Derek smiled half-heartedly at you. “No, I didn’t. The Argents don’t deserve this kind of mercy,” he answered. “Right,” you whispered, avoiding eye contact.
You wrapped your hands around Derek’s neck and rested your head in his chest. “I’m sorry,” you muttered, and he could already feel your tears moistening his shirt as he rubbed your back, trying to calm you down.
“It’s alright,” he said comfortingly. “Just, don’t be so stubborn next time.”
“I promise,” you breathed. “Can we go home now?” Derek nodded and kissed your forehead, picking you up. The familiar warmth of his body soothed you to sleep, finally feeling protected in his embrace.

It was a little after midnight at a school night, which meant that you should probably have been asleep. That wasn’t the case, though- you had a little something to sort out that went by the name Liam Dunbar.
You had low-key developed a crush on Liam since you first laid your eyes on him. At first, you just liked him for his appearance- you found him a hottie and an adorable cinnamon roll simultaneously. He was in your grade, so you had a few classes together; and this is how slowly but steadily, your feelings grew stronger as you got to know him better.
Liam felt the same; however, he wouldn’t confess to you. It wasn’t that he was stubborn- he was rather shy and lacking self-confidence- he never thought that you’d like him back. It was only when Scott gave him the bite, that he grew more attached to you. Scott later explained to him that it was perhaps because you were his anchor. He actually liked the idea; you were always sticking together, so if anything happened, you’d protect each other- which meant he had fewer things to worry about.
Given all that, plus the fact that neither his little sister nor his Beta could lie to him; he was well-aware that you were dating. You simply weren’t aware of it, just yet.
“Goodnight, love you,” Scott whispered, trying not to ‘wake you up’. He placed a kiss on your forehead and tucked you in, then proceeded to leave your bedroom.
The moment he closed the door behind him, you threw you blanket off you and quickly but quietly got up from your bed. Coast is clear, you texted Liam, but didn’t bother waiting for a reply. As soon as you unlocked your window, he stepped in your room.
“Hi,” he said softly, kissing your chick. You smiled, wrapping your hands around his neck. He grabbed your waist and reached for your lips. “I missed you,” he muttered in-between kisses.
“I missed you too,” you whispered, leaning your head in the crook of his neck, exhaling his cologne. Liam drew patterns on your bare skin underneath your shirt and felt you relaxing with his touch.
As your kiss deepened, Liam picked you up and carried you to your bed. You lied on top of him, grinding slowly against his crotch. He let out a hushed growl as he caressed your butt, and you smirked at his eagerness.
Liam started kissing your neck lovingly, making you let out muffled moans. “Shh, Y/N,” he cooed, sucking on your sweet spot. You punched him lightly on the chest, warming him not to leave a hickey. He then paused, waiting for you to take off your shirt. He copied your actions.
All of a sudden, the lights in your room flicked on. You instantly shot a sitting position and hurried to cover your bare chest, whilst your brother, Stiles, Lydia, Malia, and Mason walked in on your making-out session.
“Ha, I knew it!” exclaimed Stiles, staring at a blushed Liam, and patted Scott’s shoulder. Lydia let out a scoff, as she took out of her pocket a fifty dollar bill and handed it to Mason. “Don’t doubt me again,” he smiled at her sweetly.
Your eyes glued to your brother’s, not daring to say a word. You expected him to snap at you for keeping your relationship with his Beta a secret for such a long time. Instead, an amused grin appeared on his face.
“You didn’t really think I didn’t know, did ya?” he asked, making your brush deepen. “Y-you knew?” you stuttered, avoiding eye-contact. He laughed, “Dude, seriously. I could smell your chemo-signals from miles away,” he stated.
You mentally cursed at yourself, for not having thought about it earlier. “So, you’re not mad?” Liam questioned, hiding his face on your shoulder. “Why would I be mad?” Scott replied, “I don’t have a say on your personal lives, kiddos. I just want both of you to be happy.”
A small smile formed on your lips. It was stupid of you to think that your brother would try to prevent you from being with someone you loved. You knew that Scott’s loved one’s happiness was his top priority.
“Thanks,” you and Liam said, finally relieved.
“Alright, I think that’s enough for tonight,” Stiles, who tried to stare anywhere else but your exposed skin, ushered everyone out of the room, banging the door behind him.
Liam’s eyes met yours again, and you let out a giggle. “It was easier than expected,” you pointed out. Liam shook his head in agreement, still blushing hard. “Definitely.”

Stiles being born twelve minutes prior to you
which meant constantly making fun of you for being ‘the little Stilinski’
which resulted to you smacking him so he’d shut up
He always did
Being the exact opposite of him
Getting along excellently, regardless of your dissimilar personalities
Being the only one able to pronounce his name without slipping up
Being each other’s best friend
Always having each other’s back
Fighting over who’d shower first
Fighting over what you’d have for dinner
Fighting over what you’d watch on TV
Fighting over who’d drive
Fighting over who’d get to date Derek
Stealing his clothes
Twin telepathy
Knowing when either of you was in trouble
Pulling pranks on Coach together
And getting lectured by Sheriff Stilinski about it
Even though he knew it was realistically pointless
Not arguing often, but when you did, nobody dared to step in-between you two
They knew better
Having had to learn it the hard way
Being a member of Scott’s pack
Asking your help with the investigation
Isaac trying to flirt with you during pack meetings
Stiles telling him off because he knew you weren’t into him
Instantly noticing when he started showing symptoms of Frontotemporal Dementia
Crying your eyes out when the tests came back positive
Him coming to you for comfort after a nightmare
Calming him down after a panic attack
The Nogitsune kidnapping you to manipulate the pack
You being the one who remembered him first and was able to bring him back
Leaving Beacon Hills with him
Forever watching out for each other
Being next door neighbors, so practically knowing each other since birth
Growing up together, so you couldn’t exactly tell when you fell for him
Stiles having a crush on you too
But since you were best friends, neither of you confessed
However, you couldn’t help feeling a little jealous, because you thought he was crushing on Lydia
Scott knowing that you like each other, so at some point he got sick of your stubbornness and decided to take that matter in his own hands
He practically locked you in the school’s janitor’s closet until you made out
And this how you started dating in eighth grade
So much sarcasm
Inside jokes
Studying sessions together
That always led to heated make out sessions
Helping him solve cases
Cheering for him during lacrosse practice
Comforting him after he had nightmares about his mum
Never leaving his side when he was in the hospital
Keeping your memories of him, which was what brought him back
Long drives on his Jeep
Cuddling until you fall asleep
Hair stocking
Sweet, slow kisses
Never falling out of love with him
First things first, you two being inseparable since you were born
Being two years younger than Scott, but despite the age difference, you got along pretty well
Mostly because Melissa taught you from a very young age to always stand up for each other and stick together through thick and thin
Stiles was like, a second brother to you
Even though you slightly had a crush on him
Helping him go through his first full moon 🌕
Him wanting you to keep you safe at all costs, which meant keeping you uninvolved in the supernatural
Him failing to do so, since you quickly discovered you’re a Banshee
Which meant you got to spend a lot of time with Lydia and befriending her, although you disliked her at first because of her attitude towards Stiles
Scott being overprotective in general, like very overprotective
Texting or calling you constantly to make sure you’re okay
It could be annoying at times, but you secretly loved it
Let’s just say that, when you got on your first date, things didn’t go that well
Apart from Scott threatening the boy, he also gave you ‘the talk’
Basically lecturing you about protection
You rolling your eyes at him
Scott and Stiles spying on you the whole time
Eventually, you called it quits quite quickly. The dude was a jerk
Scott and Stiles took you home. You ordered pizza 🍕 and watched Disney movies cuddling on the couch
So after that night, you and Stiles grew pretty close
Stiles asked Scott’s permission to take you on a date, and he happily agreed
Stiles took you to the movies, and then for ice cream. He made sure everything was perfect
Him giving you his jacket, because you were cold
Not knowing whether he should kiss you or not
He drove you home, and as you got out of his Jeep, you gave him a kiss on the chick
After a couple of dates, you were official
During pack meetings, Stiles wouldn’t just keep his hands of you. Whether it was him just holding your hand, or hugging your waist
That didn’t go unnoticed from the pack members, especially Isaac
But you were quick to cut him off
And so was Scott
Getting matching tattoos
Late night pillow talks
Scott helping you when you were feeling down
You just always knew what to do. He’d either take you bowling or cook something for you and just snuggle with you on your bed
Trusting him more than anyone
Being heartbroken when he and Stiles left for college
They’d come back home once or twice a month though
Being there when you graduated
Attending the same college as him, and sharing an apartment
Coming back to Beacon Hills after five years and start a family with Stiles
Can you do a 'dating Derek Hale would include' headcanons?
Here ya go!

Eye rolls
Sarcasm

Forehead kisses
Constantly asking you if you’re okay
