May 28-June 3: School is out for the summer!  

School is out for the summer! It's time to relax, have fun, and enjoy the warm weather. Are Stiles and Derek looking forward to swimming, surfing, visiting friends, or just taking some time off? No matter what they do, it’s sure to be a summer to remember. 

June 4-10: Coastal Celebration

What better way to celebrate the summer than hitting the beach? Are Stiles and Derek watching the sunset in Santorini, Greece? Swimming in the clear waters of Hawaii? Maybe they’re taking a pack trip or sailing around the world together for the summer. Take us on their coastal celebration!

June 11-17: Staycation

It’s summertime in Beacon Hills! From the bowling alley to the indoor ice rink, there are a lot of fun places to hang out and explore. Will Stiles and Derek dance the night away at one of the local clubs? Or maybe they spend their time walking through the preserve, taking in all nature has to give. Who knows! It’s up to you to decide how Stiles and Derek spend their staycation.

June 18-24: Camping Anywhere

Stiles and Derek are going on a camping trip! Are they going to a National Park? Hiding out in the preserve in a den? Sleeping in the Jeep because the rain flooded them out of their undisclosed campsite? Maybe they’re taking a pack trip during the full moon to run under the moonlight together, hunting deer while Stiles and Derek renew their mating bond. Only you can tell us where their camping adventure will take us! 

June 25-July 1: Tented Elegance

It’s that time of the year when fabulous parties happen in large, elegant tents! Maybe Stiles and Derek are having a summer wedding on their property at the rebuilt Hale house, renewing their vows; or they’re having a pack get-together escaping the heat in style.

July 2-8: Luxe Lakeside

It’s time to hit the lake! Lydia Martin is known to throw the best parties at her lakehouse! But this one is going to last all summer. Is it pack party time? Or are Derek and Stiles alone at the lakehouse after everyone left the party? Maybe Stiles borrowed the key from Lydia and there is no party, so the mated couple is getting away and spending time alone. Or they’re taking a trip out of town to visit a lakehouse in a beautiful secluded place that is owned by Derek’s family. Only your imagination can tell us! 

July 9-15: Road Trip to Anywhere

Pack your bags for a road trip to anywhere! Stiles and Derek are getting the heck out of Beacon Hills this summer. Pick a destination, whether by Camaro or Jeep and show us their journey!

Take us on your fantasy trip, or give us some insight if you live or have visited European destinations! 

July 23-29: Island Getaway 

Stiles and Derek are heading to an island getaway! It sounds like a great time to visit Cancun for the first time. Jamaica, The Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Barbados, Cuba, Honduras, the British Virgin Islands, Bora Bora, Fiji, Greece, Italy… There are so many places to visit, laying on a beach, catching some sun! What are Derek and Stiles doing on their island getaway? Are they on their honeymoon? Taking a pack trip? Take us away to their island getaway!

July 30-August 5: Back to School

Summer is over and it’s time to head back to school! Are Stiles and Derek the same age and in high school together? Are they attending the same university? Maybe they’re pledging the same fraternity or they’re freshman roommates away for the first time at school. Maybe they met at summer camp and have to leave since summer is over and find out they don't live that far from each other. After all, it’s a small world! Take us back to school with Stiles and Derek!

Summary:

…the one where Stiles realized he was in love.

With the wedding reception in full swing, guests mingled around the gorgeous, sprawling grounds of the Hale Estate. And Stiles was in Trouble—capital T—as he stared out at Derek across the lawn. Derek, who looked too good in his tailored suit as he spoke with someone Stiles didn't recognize. Not that Stiles would know anyone here besides Derek or the rest of the Hales.

Talia, Derek's mom, had offered the use of their home to a neighboring pack for their wedding after their venue informed them that they'd double-booked. And, of course, Stiles said yes when Derek asked if he'd be his date since the Hales were all invited to attend.

"You're drooling."

Stiles flipped Cora off as she sat beside him under the enormous tent on the property.

She laughed. "Well, that's not a very nice way to treat your future sister-in-law."

Heat crept up Stiles's cheeks, and he just knew he was blushing. "I think you're getting kind of ahead of yourself, aren't you?"

Stiles and Derek had only been dating for a few weeks, so it was far too early to think about things like that. Right?

"Please. Derek is so hung up on you." She refolded the napkin on the table. "I wouldn't doubt if he's already picked out the ring."

"Don't be ridiculous." Stiles glanced back and found Derek heading their way. His heart jumped. It was as if a kaleidoscope of butterflies had taken flight in his stomach, and his whole body seemed to come alive just at the sight of him.

"I'm just saying…" Cora chuckled, and Stiles forced his attention back to her as she spoke. "Besides, you two are perfect for each other."

The back of Stiles's neck prickled in awareness.

"Hey." Derek's voice was a rumble behind him.

Stiles couldn't help but smile as he tilted his head back and looked up at Derek. "Hi."

Derek held out two roses. One white, one red. "For you."

"Me?" Stiles stood and adjusted his suit jacket before taking them. Warmth spread through his chest. No one had ever given him flowers before, let alone roses. He knew there was significance in their meaning—though he couldn't recall what either color meant beyond love. He ducked his head and smiled, offering up a shy, "Thank you," as he sniffed them.

Derek tipped his chin up and ran his knuckles across Stiles's jaw.

The look on his face took Stiles's breath away. It was soft. Adoring. And then he smirked, and Stiles wanted to swoon.

"Wanna get outta here?" Derek asked.

Stiles nodded, saying a quick goodbye to Cora as he linked his arm with Derek's when he held it out.

"Just…y'know," Cora called out as they walked away, "no hanky-panky in the gardens or anything!"

Heat crept up Stiles's neck, and Derek laughed.

"Just ignore her," Derek told him as they walked down the limestone steps that led to the gardens.

Stiles had only been down here once before, and that was the first day he'd come to the Hale estate—two weeks prior. Derek had given him a tour around the property. And just like before, they walked down the flagstone path that wound through the gardens.

Derek gestured to the bench by the koi pond—koi pond!—so they sat. "Thank you for coming today."

"Of course," Stiles answered honestly. While it might have been a little weird to attend the wedding of someone he didn't know, there was no way he would have said no. Not when it was a chance to spend more time with Derek.

Honestly, this summer had just been so amazing, and it was all because of Derek. Because of his easy-going nature, and the way he encouraged Stiles out of his comfort zone. Stiles could have spent the past few weeks holed up in his room, playing video games or bugging his dad about ongoing cases at the sheriff's station. But instead, Stiles had spent all his free time with Derek, doing things he never would have done before. Mostly because he would have been alone. But not anymore.

With Derek, he'd gone to the beach. He'd gone camping. Go-kart racing. Six-Flags. Had dinner at the fanciest restaurant Stiles had ever been to. They'd even gone to Jungle and Sinema, the local dance clubs.

"What are you thinking about?" Derek asked, cutting into Stiles's thoughts.

Stiles couldn't help the smile that pulled at his lips as he looked at Derek. He twirled the roses as he spoke, "All the different things we've done this summer."

"Ah." Derek chuckled, and his gaze softened even more. "It's been okay, though? You know if there's anything you don't want to do, we don't have to."

"I know," Stiles assured him. "And I've had so much fun. Normally, I'd be at the station, helping my dad out. Well, I say helping—" He laughs. "My dad would probably say I’m more of a hindrance."

He had a habit of distracting the deputies.

Derek chuckled again, then looked across the gardens—a contemplative look on his face—and asked, "So what else should we do? Is there anything you want to do? Anywhere you want to go?"

"I don't know. I mean, we're going to the lake next week." And Stiles was excited about it. They were spending the full moon at a cabin Derek's family owned. He was looking forward to seeing Derek shift. As for anything else…

There were so many things Stiles wanted to do, but he also didn't want to take advantage of Derek. Stiles was perfectly content just sitting here with Derek. Or in either of their rooms. Or going to the park across town. Even strolling down Main Street.

"Hmm…" Derek glanced back at him, a thoughtful expression on his face. "What if we take a road trip somewhere? We could go to the Grand Canyon or just drive down the coast."

Stiles huffed a laugh. "You wanna do that?"

"I wanna do everything with you."

The butterflies that had been fluttering in Stiles's stomach from the moment Derek walked up to him intensified. "I'd like that."

Derek smiled, it was small but gorgeous, and Stiles melted a little. Especially when Derek reached out, threading their fingers together and squeezing. "Good."

Then he tilted his head as if he were listening for something.

"I think they're going to do the first dance now. You wanna go back?"

"Yeah." Excitement bubbled through Stiles as he imagined walking onto the dance floor with Derek. Swaying with him to whatever song the DJ played.

Derek tugged Stiles up and off the bench, their hands still linked as they wandered back to the reception.

When they returned to the tent, the newly married couple were having their first dance—eyes locked with beautiful smiles as they swayed to the music.

One day. One day that would be him and Derek. He was sure of it. More certain than anything else he'd ever felt before because Stiles knew, without a doubt, that he was in love with Derek. And while Derek hadn't said it either, he'd shown Stiles, in just about every way, that he loved him too.

Stiles looked up at Derek then, a smile tugging at his lips. His heart fluttered in his chest. And as if Derek knew the direction of Stiles's thoughts, he leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead. Stiles glanced around, but no one was watching them, their attention on the bride and groom. So he reached up, cupping Derek's face and pressing their lips together.

It was soft. Simple. Perfect. And Stiles couldn't wait for the many more kisses they'd share for the rest of their lives.
