Stiles's Pov

I honestly felt stupid.

I felt stupid for two reasons.

One of them is for being so stupid and letting love blind me. I let myself fall in love with Derek and look at what happened.

My feelings were too strong for him, I was just so in love and so naive and I let myself fall in too deep and I got my heart crushed.

The second being I'm crying out all my emotions to Luke.

Out of all people I cried out my entire emotions to Luke, someone I've known for only a few days.

Someone that is a friend, someone that flirts with me like there's no tomorrow and someone that be a bit of a pain in the ass.

But, I will admit, Luke is a good person to vent my feelings to.

He actually listened to what I have to say and he never left my side.

He didn't have to be there for me but he wanted to be there for me.

He proved how much he cares about me and my well being by chasing after me and asking me how I felt.

For god sakes...he begged me to let him help me.

Luke Carter actually begged. To me, of all people.

Why...why would he do that?

He's not the type of person to beg for anyone or to anyone, so why would he for me?

That's definitely something I'll have to find out later.

Right now, I'm just glad he never left my side and comforted me as best as he could.

He brought me into a tight hug and let me cry into his chest, he let me empty out all my emotions.

I'm grateful for that...

However, his shirt is probably ruined because of my tears.

If he gets mad because of his shirt being ruined, I'll gladly buy him a new one.

It's the least I can do after he was there to comfort me and help me feel better.

When I finally felt myself calming down, ever so slightly, I slowly pulled away from his chest and looked up at him.

His eyes had softened and a frown was on his face, he looked concerned.

Why does he look cute like that...?

"Are you alright, love?" Luke softly asked.

"I'd lie and say yes, but no, not really" I softly said.

"That's fine. And I'm happy you told me the truth" Luke softly smiled.

Me too.

"I'm sorry about ruining your shirt with my tears. It must've cost alot" I sighed.

"Stiles, a stupid shirt doesn't mean anything to me. You're well being matters the most to me" Luke said.

"Why? Why do you care so much about my well being?" I asked.

Whenever I had problems the only people that would comfort me were my dad, Malia, Kira, Isaac, Liam and surprisingly, Peter.

Theo, well, he's not the best comforting person in the world.

But, he was there to just let me cry on his shoulder whenever I wanted to.

Oddly enough, I was grateful for that.

Because despite our differences, at least he cares.

Scott...he never once comforted me, hell, I doubt he even knew when I was feeling upset.

And even if he did, he never cared to talk to me about it to or help me feel better.

Derek was the same. He still is.

When we were dating he never once asked me if I was feeling alright, he never knew when I was lying to him or myself and never comforted me when I did reveal how I felt.

That just shows that he really didn't care. Not one bit.

God, I feel like such a dumbass.

"Are you really going to ask me that?" Luke asked in disbelief.

"Yes" I deadpanned.

Luke rolled his eyes before sighing.

I blushed when he gently cupped the sides of my face, brushing some hair away from my face.

"Stiles, I care because you're my friend, you're someone that means the world to me. You literally ran off and started crying out your emotions to me and that just hurts even more" Luke explained.

I opened my mouth to protest but Luke shot me a warning glare.

I'm not one to back down that easily, but I have to admit that his glare did scare me.

I'm pretty sure that glare could scare someone like Peter.

"I swear to god if you say 'I'm fine' when you really aren't, I will hit you with my shoe. That shit might work on other people but not on me. I'm not an idiot, I can see right through you" Luke explained.

Well, ain't he the observant one, huh?

Luke sighed before he began caressing my face as gently as he could.

The action had me blushing even more. I wasn't used to that type of stuff.

Derek never did that when we were dating, so it makes sense for me to be surprised.

But, what confuses me is why the hell am I blushing?

"Stiles, you're my friend just like Jake, June and Olivia. You mean everything to me and I don't care if we've only known each other for a while. I'm not going to just sit back and let you deal with your problems alone" Luke explained.

He leaned in so that our foreheads were touching.

His hands wandered down to my shoulders and he rested them there.

I was a little disappointed, I already missed the warmth of his hands when they were on my face.

"Always remember that I'm going to be here whenever you need me. Alright?" Luke softly asked.

"You don't have to always be there for me. You know that, right?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

That prompted another sigh from him as he rolled his eyes.

Not from annoyance, but from fondness.

Honestly, that was a surprise, I was used to people rolling their eyes at me from annoyance.

And by that, I mean I was used to Scott, Derek and the pack members that were still on their side.

For Luke to do that out of that emotion, it felt oddly...nice...

"I want to be there. I want to always be by your side to help you with whatever you need. After all, you're my friend and friends are there for each other" Luke smiled.

Friends...

Yeah...that's what we are...

Friends...

Why did that hurt? Shouldn't I be happy?

After all, I truly thought that the only friends I had were Malia, Kira, Isaac, Liam and Peter.

I lost Scott, Derek and the other pack members.

Not that I care. But, it doesn't stop me from feeling hurt just thinking about it.

Deciding not to worry about that too much, I simply sighed and rested my head on Luke's shoulder.

"Thank you, Luke. That means alot" I softly said.

He wrapped his arms around me and rubbed my back up and down.

"No need to thank me, love. I'm just doing what I would've done if you were Jake, June and Olivia. Despite the fact that they get on my nerves sometimes" Luke explained.

I let out a laugh at that and picked my head up.

Our eyes made contact and I saw him smiling, faintly, at me.

I guess he was happy he got a laugh and a smile from me, helping me feel better.

"Are you saying that I get on your nerves too?" I teasingly asked.

"Of course not. After all, I like you more than those three idiots" Luke rolled his eyes.

His eyes brightened slightly and he leaned closer to me.

My breath hitched as our foreheads touched once more, our noses inches away from touching as well.

"Besides, I love flirting with you, love. The things you say and do just know how to make me smile and make my heart flutter" Luke smirked.

I shivered as he spoke, his breath hitting me a few times.

You would think that his breath would smell bad, but it didn't smell anywhere near bad.

I'm gonna assume he really did his best when brushing his teeth or he ate a few mints.

Either way, it was nice...

"Aw, have I made you speechless, love?" Luke asked, his eyes gleaming in delight.

I snapped out of my thoughts and glared at him.

I rolled my eyes and shoved him away from me, smirking internally at the groan he let out.

"In your dreams" I scoffed out.

I got up from the ground before looking down at him. He removed his hand from his head before looking up at me.

The smirk had never faltered which is something I should've predicted.

"Come on, lets go meet up with the others before they believe we got kidnapped or something" I said.

I extended my arm out, gesturing for him to place his hand in mine so I could help him off the ground.

Luke frowned before sighing as he nodded.

He placed his hand in mine and just like that I helped him off the floor.

I nodded at him while he smiled. Just like that, we were out of the bathroom and on our way to see the others.

And, surprisingly, our hands remained clasped together.
