[runswithwolvesx]

(don't hate me i love too many of these to pick just 1--you don't have to answer them all though--only if you want to ^.^) ‘INTIMACY + 32, 34, 39'

non-sexual forms of intimacy || accepting!

32. take care of the other when sick

Stirring the large pot with the ladle, Mieczyslaw allowed the aroma of the freshly made chicken soup to waft throughout the loft. Derek’s fever had been relentless, sparking worry in Stiles’ tired bones. He’d never seen the wolf so sick, never seen him this weak before. While Stiles wasn’t much of a chef, he’d learned a few dishes here and there after the death of his late mother. Mostly for when he’d have to take care of his father, especially during flu season when Noah was susceptible to catching the illness. Placing a generous amount of the food into a bowl, Stiles lidded the pot once more, grasping for a spoon from the nearby drawer. 

He’d grown accustom to being in the loft and Stiles knew where most things were at this point. It wasn’t just because he was nosy and had rummaged through different cabinets and drawers before. It was also because he’d been spending much more time with Derek, he’d grown familiar with the place Derek called home. Putting a dash of salt in the soup, he stirred the bowl as he shuffled across the building, coming upon the bed where the werewolf laid sprawled out. Stiles set the bowl of soup on the bedside table, hastily reaching for the damp washcloth he’d left in another bowl on the wooden table. Wringing out the cloth, he blotted up some of the beads of sweat clinging to Derek’s face.

“You can protest all you want, big guy, but I’ve made you some soup and you’re going to eat it.” Mieczyslaw’s voice was almost that of a scolding. When he earned an eye roll from the other male, it was a welcomed response. Derek hadn’t had much energy to protest within the last 24 hours. So, the outcome of this fever and illness seemed to be less bleak. “Was that an eye roll? ‘Cause that’s like the first time you’ve done that in a while.” He commented, placing the cloth aside before reaching for the bowl of soup. Stiles waited for Derek to sit up, examining him thoroughly as he moved gradually, still worn and ghostly looking. Handing over the bowl once prompted, Stiles resumed his efforts at ridding the wolf of some of his fever with the cool cloth, pressing it to his cheek and then his neck.

34. cooking together

“Come on!” Stiles’ voice echoed against the loft’s walls. “Give it to me.” He demanded in a light-hearted voice, laughter spilling from his lips, eyes glimmering with enjoyment. Flour had been smeared across his face, littered the floor and the counter top of the kitchen. Their attempt at making pancakes from scratch hadn’t gone smoothly because once Stiles had flicked some of the flour Derek’s way, the wolf had made it quite obvious he was going to retaliate. And he had, smearing the white powder across Stiles’ warm cheeks. This caused Stiles to throw more of the powder at Derek, hitting him square on the bare chest before wiping his hands off on his own pale blue shirt. “I’m trying to make you breakfast, alright?” The younger male chuckled generously.

Derek shook his head, reminding Stiles that they were supposed to be making it together. “As if I don’t know how to make pancakes. I mean, that’s the first thing I was taught.” Mieczyslaw was defiant, though it was a playful refusal. Quickly, Derek spun Stiles around, pulling the slender male into himself, his sturdy arms ghosting over Stiles’ arms until his hands reached the human’s. He helped Stiles crack a few eggs, Stiles’ cheeks flushing furiously from the close proximity of their bodies, though he willfully followed along until both their hands were on the wooden spoon, mixing the flour and eggs until it became a batter thick enough to cook. “These are honestly going to be the messiest pancakes I’ve ever made. And who’s going to clean up this mess, anyway?” Stiles shook his head, still giddy until he leaned back against Derek’s form, enveloped by the wolf’s heat.

39. an actual open honest conversation

“You think you’re the only person who’s got blood on their hands, Derek.” Stiles’ eye contact with the wolf was unwavering as he tended to get lost in the man’s emerald orbs, finding them the most beautiful shade of green. When Derek’s attention seemed piqued, his head tilting to the side gently, that’s when Stiles’ eyes finally shied away from the older man’s. “I’m just saying, even someone like me has their demons.” Swallowing thickly, he recalled the moment he’d killed Donovan, the lifelessness in his body as it was limp and impaled. 

Yes, it had been out of instinct to survive but that didn’t mean the guilt hadn’t swallowed Stiles whole and spat him out just the same. “I’m not the same guy, Derek. And I’m not just talking about the time the Nogitsune was controlling my every move.” No, he was talking about something completely different; something that haunted him more than the Japanese spirit playing with his friends. Amber eyes fell to the floor and he squinted, blinking away the angry tears that threatened to spill onto his cheeks. “I don’t want you to look at me differently. But, even I look at me differently. When I see my own reflection… I’m not the same guy.” The last of his admittance fell softly, almost inaudible because Stiles felt crippled with defeat. 

A lot had changed since Derek had left Beacon Hills and then returned once more. What if he couldn’t look at Stiles the same way now, knowing that he’d spilled blood on his hands too? What if Derek didn’t understand Stiles’ reasoning behind it all? What if he were just another murderer? All those thoughts plagued Mieczyslaw’s mind, wheels spinning with thoughts unwilling to settle.
