A/N: A short and cute epilogue that's just pure fluff and nice feels since this was such a harsh story. It's totally cheesy and meant to be that way with no real purpose except to close it off on a good note.

It's a little hard ending this story because it's been 6 months of writing this story and figuring out how to develop all the characters and the plot and now…here it is…the ending. So sad.

Warnings: Lots of Fluff

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Wolf

ENJOY!

Epilogue

Beacon Hills didn't feel so much like Hell anymore. Sure there were days where Stiles sank back into depression but Derek was usually there to keep him upright and safe. There were only a few days where he'd harmed himself, like three weeks ago when he and Derek had a huge fight when Derek saw one of those bimbos from Stiles' third period class draping herself over Stiles in front of the school and he'd left for two days and two nights. It hadn't meant anything and Stiles had firmly rejected her but Derek was still convinced that there was no way that that was nothing…which it was…nothing. In the wee hours of the morning Stiles hadn't slept or relaxed either nights and was convinced that Derek, the only one who had ever loved him, who had ever made him feel loved in the way he needed, hated him and was never coming back. Derek must've been lurking right outside the window because the second the blade pierced his flesh Derek was there, gripping his trembling hand and pulling his sobbing form into his firm chest.

Scott and Isaac had finally pulled their heads out of their asses and were dating, much to the chagrin of Allison who watched them with barely concealed hatred and envy. They walked through the halls either holding hands or walking so close to each other it looked like their arms were glued together. Frankly, their googly, lovey dovey, goo-goo eyes made Stiles kind of sick but he was happy for them.

After his sling had come off Stiles got the all good from the doctors and was back in school. His dad was working less hours at the station and Derek had actually gotten a full-on job there as a 'consultant'. Things seemed…This is totally going to jinx things, Stiles thought, things seemed to be going well for once. When he said as much to Scott during lunch the second week he was back at school he'd looked at Stiles with wide, horrified eyes.

"Why would you say that?! You know things like that will eventually turn out bad for us!"

Stiles couldn't help but laugh. "I know, it's just…I'm glad that there's some down time, even for a little while."

Scott's expression softened. "Yeah man, I know what you mean. How are you and Derek doing by the way? I haven't smelled him on you for the past few days."

Stiles sighed. "Yeah, my dad has him helping out at the station like crazy these days. The times he's not working he's sleeping so…no hanky panky."

Scott made an ick face. "I so don't need a playthrough of your love life."

Stiles whacked him on the shoulder. "As if you don't do the same thing. Unfortunately for me I know the exact sounds Isaac makes when you two are gettin' down and dirty at bedtime."

Scott's mouth dropped open, thankfully foodless, in horror and embarrassment. "Dude!" he flaps his arms around before covering his face in embarrassment. "It sucks because you're not actually lying. Sorry about that man, we really don't mean to be that loud."

Stiles just rolls his eyes and eats the rest of his sandwich, licking the mustard off his thumb before crumpling up his brown paper bag and tossing it into the garbage can right next to their table.

"Well, now you know. I won't share if you swear to keep yours to yourself as well. Seriously, every single time you have a relationship I end up knowing way too much about it."

The rest of the day is fine, a little boring, but at least not as terrible as it seemed before he started getting better. When he got home Derek was already there, sitting on his bed and pretending to read one of the random books off of Stiles' shelves. Stiles groaned and shouldered his backpack to the ground before he threw himself on top of Derek. Derek barely had enough time to toss the book onto the nightstand before catching him.

"Long day?"

Stiles nuzzled into Derek's chest, enjoying the rumble of his voice. "Every day is long when you're not there."

"Cheesy."

Stiles laughed. "But you love it. Admit it."

"I'll never admit such a thing because if I do you'll never stop."

"As if I'd stop now." Stiles sighed and pressed his face into Derek's chest and wrapped his arms tightly around his torso. "How was work?"

"I had today off. I was planning on seeing you before you left for school but by the time I got here you had already left. What had you gone so early?"

Stiles groaned loud and long into Derek's sternum. "I have this stupid biology project with one of my classmates, who is a complete and utter moron. Doesn't know a cow from a chicken I swear."

"So, does that mean that you're doing all the work then?"

Stiles shook his head. "I made him do the powerpoint and construction of the model cell we're doing while I do the research and the paper."

They were silent for a while, simply enjoying each other's presence after three long days without each other. Of course it was Stiles who once again broke the silence.

"I'm glad things aren't as hectic anymore. We really need a break from everything."

Derek gave a startled chuckle that made Stiles lift his head and give him a suspicious stare.

"I forgot to tell you why I was here."

Stiles gave him a mock wounded look. "You mean you're not here to shower your beloved boyfriend with love and attention like he so desperately needs and deserves?!"

Derek just rolls his eyes. "I'll give you all the love and attention you want later. I need you to pull up whatever you can about mermaids."

Stiles just stares at him as if waiting for the punch line but when he gets none his face drops into surprise and disbelief. "You've got to be joking. Mermaids? Really? Those exist now too? Soon we'll be watching unicorns eat butterflies and poop rainbows."

Derek lifted one shoulder in a shrug after rolling his eyes. "I don't know, maybe. We don't know for sure but whatever it is came from the water and is causing some serious bad luck. Who knows, could be a Selkie."

"Selkie. Right." Stiles sighed and made to get off of Derek to start the research but Derek's arms held tight around his waist.

"I didn't say you had to start right now. That can be done later. Give some much needed attention and love to your boyfriend."

Stiles felt a shock of excitement roll through his body and his face lit up in delight. "Well, if you insist." He says with mock exasperation and climbs up Derek's body to press their lips together. "How can I deny my boyfriend anything?"

The research doesn't get done until that weekend.

A/N: Holy Hell it's done. Like…totally done. There's nothing more to add. HOLY HELL! This is my longest writing I've ever done and possibly the longest I will ever write. I can't believe I made it through.

What really helped me finish was the fact that so many people wanted to read more. There were so many people who liked my writing and wrote encouraging things and that kept me going even though I had no inspiration to finish this.

Thanks so much guys (and galls) for sticking with me. There will be other stories for Teen Wolf but this is the end of this one. Even though this epilogue was short and kinda (totally) cheesy I hope it was ok. Thank you to everyone who favorited, followed, and reviewed my story. I look forward to writing for you in the future. ~hearts~
