Stiles's Pov

I wanted school to end.

I wanted to get out of this damn building so that I could finally meet up with Luke and we could head out.

He promised that today he'd tell me more about himself, that he'd tell me more about his past and what led him and Olivia to come here.

I couldn't stop glancing at my phone to check the time.

And I couldn't stop glancing behind me every few seconds just to see Luke.

It looks like he was in the same state as me.

Looks like we were both eager to leave this hell and find somewhere private to talk.

Because we crave for privacy since we've been getting interrupted by almost anyone and anything.

Hell, we got interrupted by my own dad last night and I desperately need the moment we lost back.

I let out a quiet yelp when I felt someone pinch my arm. I turned around and was met with Malia's curious eyes.

"What's going on with you?" Malia asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"Why are you bouncing your knee up and down? You only do that when you're nervous" she frowned.

I blushed slightly and looked down at my notes.

"It's nothing. I'm just waiting for class to be over" I replied.

"Why? Are you going somewhere later?" Malia asked.

"Yeah, I am" I nodded.

I smiled at the thought of being alone with Luke so that we could finally talk in private with zero distractions.

However, I snapped out of my thoughts when someone placed their hand on my shoulder.

I turned around and was met with Isaac, who was grinning at me.

"Oh, I think I know where he's going and who he's meeting" Isaac grinned.

"Really? Who?" Malia asked, fake gasping.

"That boy, Luke Carter. Aka, his crush" Isaac wiggled his eyebrows at me, the stupid grin on his face.

Malia let out a gasp before a grin appeared on her face and she wiggled her eyebrows at me too.

I blushed bright red and tried glaring at them to get them to stop, but they were completely unfazed.

"He's blushing. That means we were right" Malia smirked.

"Of course we are. After all, Stiles and Luke have been hanging out for quite a while" Isaac smirked.

"Aw, our sarcastic boy is growing up. How sweet" Malia fake cooed.

She even pinched my cheek when doing that, which only increased my blush.

Isaac fake cooed and pinched my other cheek, doing his best not to use his werewolf strength so he wouldn't hurt me.

I gritted my teeth in annoyance and shoved their hands away from me and buried my head into my desk, groaning in embarrassment.

Isaac and Malia are two little shits and they aren't afraid to admit that out loud.

I can't believe they would do that.

I shouldn't be surprised, but it still caught me off guard.

A small snort could be heard and I picked my head up and turned around, only to be met with the sight of Luke staring at the three of us in amusement.

It dawned on me that he watched and listened to everything that happened.

He grinned at me but I simply glared at him, flipped him off and buried my head back onto the desk.

"I hate you both" I groaned.

"Yeah, yeah, we love you too" Malia giggled.

She ruffled my hair while Isaac patted my shoulder before they went back to taking notes in their notebooks.

Well, Isaac was taking notes.

Malia, no doubt, was sketching something new of Kira.

Funny story, I was the one that got her interested in sketching.

For her birthday I got her a sketchbook and some pencils, coloring pencils included, and told her to watch some YouTube tutorial videos on the phone that Peter got for her so that she could get the hang of it.

Turns out, she's extremely skilled in sketching given how well she did on her first picture.

She has now deemed herself as an expert. And since she's dating Kira, she's decided to sketch her.

Kira obviously doesn't mind and is pleased and touched that her girlfriend would find time to sketch her.

Believe me, her sketch book is mainly filled with sketches of Kira.

The bell finally rang, snapping me out of my thoughts as an immediate smile appeared on my face.

Malia and Isaac glanced at me one last time, grinning while wiggling their eyebrows, before getting up and leaving the classroom.

I rolled my eyes at their antics and quickly gathered my things before leaving the classroom myself.

I made it to my locker and opened it up and placed all my books inside.

Luckily, I was only given one homework assignment for one class so I didn't need to bring alot of stuff with me.

And luckily, today is Friday. So I can always do the homework either tomorrow or Sunday.

After that was over and done with, I shut my locker and spun around and practically sprinted towards the exit.

When I got outside I began looking around, trying to spot the blonde boy I was looking for. Almost instantly a smile appeared on my face when I spotted him.

He was leaning against my jeep, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared up at the sky.

I let out a sigh of relief before the smile reappeared and I jogged over to him.

He must've heard me because he turned his head and when our eyes met I saw them brighten in delight.

"There you are. I was worried you weren't gonna show up" Luke grinned.

"I wouldn't miss this for anything. Especially when we've got a few things to finish talking about" I told him.

He hummed at that and nodded, knowing that it was true.

"Where are the others?" I asked in curiosity.

"They went back home. They're gonna be studying at mine and Liv's apartment because they've got a test on Monday" Luke explained.

"Huh? So it really is going to just be you and I" I grinned.

"Lucky us, right?" Luke asked, grinning himself.

You have no idea...

At The Woods

I honestly never expected Luke to want to go to the woods so we could talk.

But, then again, there aren't really other private areas for us to go to.

Not to mention Luke wants us to be alone where we won't get interrupted and honestly I agree with him.

We've been getting interrupted way too many times that I was close to hitting someone and sending them to the hospital.

Don't underestimate me.

I might not be strong, but I know how to put my baseball bat to good use.

When we made it to the woods I parked my jeep and Luke and I exited the vehicle and began walking further into the woods.

I told him I knew a spot we could go to and he easily agreed to follow me.

His exact words, and I quote, were...

"Wherever you go, love, I follow. I don't care where we go because as long as I'm with you, I'll be alright"

I swear to god I was smiling like an idiot and my face resembled a damn tomato.

I can't remember the last time anyone said that to me.

Derek never said anything like that to me and we were dating for two years.

But, I have to remember that him and I aren't an item anymore so I shouldn't be thinking about him nor should I give a damn.

After all, he's the one that never loved me.

He's the one that moved onto his next side piece after we broke up.

If he wants to act the way he's acting right now, that's fine with me. Because whatever the hell he does doesn't concern me.

Not anymore.

Anyways, moving on from that...

"Love, are you going to at least tell me where we're going?" Luke asked.

I was getting tired of walking forward while he walked behind me.

Which is why we were now holding hands as I sped walked, dragging Luke with me so that he wouldn't fall behind.

"Nope. Besides, we're almost there" I grinned.

"I have never been so tired in my life. And someone like Olivia is my twin sister" Luke sighed.

I rolled my eyes at that but let a small chuckle escape my lips.

Finally, after a few more minutes of walking, we finally made it.

"Alright. Here we are" I grinned happily.

Luke moved so that he was now standing next to me rather than behind me.

Our hands were still clasped together. Like hell we were going to remove them.

I turned to face Luke and satisfaction coursed through my body when I saw his eyes widening and his jaw dropping to the ground.

"Oh my god" was what came out of his mouth.

"That was my reaction when I found this place" I chuckled softly.

"Love, this place is beautiful. Well, not as beautiful as you, but it's definitely a close second" Luke gasped.

A blush appeared on my cheeks when he complimented me, my heart fluttered even more.

I shook my head and decided to just focus on the two of us and this beautiful place we're at.

"I knew you'd love it. Now come on, lets sit" I grinned.

I dragged him with me and pulled him down onto the ground so that we were both sitting next to each other.

I sat with my legs crossed while Luke just let his legs hang over the edge.

Luckily, his feet weren't touching the water so no need for him to worry about them getting wet.

"When did you find this place? How did you find this place?" Luke asked in awe.

"I found this place a year ago. And, the how part is a funny story" I chuckled.

"Enlighten me, then" Luke grinned, raising an eyebrow at me.

"I was sleeping like I do every other night and when I woke up I found myself here, lying on the dock. It wasn't early but it wasn't late either, the sun was still getting ready to shine" I explained.

Luke managed to keep a straight face on for a good few seconds before he burst out laughing.

I didn't glare at him nor did I hit him.

Instead, I burst out laughing myself.

We were both laughing our asses off over what I just revealed to him and, honestly, it was pretty good. 

Finally, when we managed to calm down, we let out breaths we'd been holding and sighed.

"Damn, I really needed a good laugh" Luke grinned.

"Same" I nodded in agreement. 

"Anyway...moving on from that. Does anytime else know about this place?" Luke asked.

"Only my dad. I took him here when he had a bad day at work and decided that bringing him here would help clear his head" I explained.

"That's sweet of you" Luke softly smiled. 

"Yeah, well, when it comes to my dad I'd do anything for him" I smiled.

My dad is the most important person to me and I would do anything for him.

He deserves happiness and I'll gladly give it to him as best as I can. 

"So, other than your dad, I'm the only one you've brought here?" Luke asked in curiosity.

"Yep" I nodded, smiling slightly. 

He chuckled at that and grinned, looking really smug.

"I feel honored. Truly, I do" he told me.

I rolled my eyes and nodded, gently patting his shoulder as I ignored his chuckling.

We both sat there in silence. The silence wasn't awkward, it was actually quite comfortable.

Then again, we're in a pretty nice place and for once we are alone and don't have to worry about anyone interrupting us.

I wanted to speak, I wanted to break the silence by asking Luke if he was comfortable with telling me more about his past.

But, that sounded rude and the last thing I wanted was to rush him.

If he needs time, I'll give him just that.

If he doesn't tell me today, that's fine. I can always wait for him to tell me another day.

He doesn't have to tell me anything that he's not comfortable with. I wouldn't do that to someone like him.

"Growing up was never easy. Especially for Liv and I" Luke broke the silence as soon as he spoke.

I snapped out of my thoughts and turned around to look at him.

He was staring forward, a blank look in his eyes.

I wanted to open my mouth and tell him that he doesn't have to talk about his past if he doesn't want to, but, almost as if he's reading my mind, he shoots me a quick glance.

His eyes were telling me 'please let me tell you everything' before he went back to staring forward.

So, I stayed quiet and let him continue his story.

"Our parents had us in their early college years. When our mother learned that she was pregnant with us she wanted to have an abortion. Our father wasn't against the idea, he was more than pleased with it. The only reason our mom never had an abortion was because our grandparents, our fathers parents, talked her out of it" Luke explained.

I was frowning the entire time, sadness shown in my eyes.

"When we were born our parents barely paid any attention to us. They devoted themselves in their studies and never made time for Liv and I. Our grandparents were the one that raised us, they were the ones that spent all their time with us and they were the ones that taught us everything" Luke explained.

He had a small smile on his face everytime he spoke about them.

He must've really cared about them since they raised them. They were practically their parents.

It warmed my heart that even if their own blood parents didn't care about them, at least they had their grandparents.

So, they weren't completely alone. 

"When they graduated college they found themselves high paying jobs and devoted themselves to their jobs. They still paid zero attention to us and never once cared for us, they still ignored our existence. Sure, they would give us money whenever they needed it, but not once did they spend time with us. Our grandparents were still the ones to do everything that our blood parents should've done" Luke explained.  

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist at his side.

He really dislikes his parents and, honestly, I don't blame him.

"Our lives turned upside down when our grandparents were killed in a car accident. Liv and I were devastated. Especially when our grandparents were the only ones that cared about us and they were the ones that showered us with love and care our whole lives. With them gone, we were back to being neglected and unloved" he explained.

He unclenched his fist and I watched as he forced himself to relax so that he wouldn't have an outburst.

I frowned and scooted closer to his side, gently placing my hand on his shoulder.

Luke didn't mind, nor did he shove my hand away, and simply let out a sigh.

"I swear to god they gave zero shits about Liv and I. They never asked us how our day was, they never asked us if we needed something, they never attended our parent teacher conferences back at our old school and they wouldn't even cook dinner for us after we came home from school. They would simply leave money for us to buy whatever we wanted before heading off to work. They treated us like strangers" Luke explained.

He gritted his teeth a bit harder and swallowed thickly.

"I remember Liv getting into an argument with them after she told them she was lesbian and dating June. They were absolutely livid and disgusted. Especially our mother. She wanted a straight and perfect daughter, not a disgraceful daughter that liked the same gender. I stayed in my room the entire time during the argument but I heard everything. Liv stormed upstairs, looking completely enraged, and when she entered our room I saw that her right cheek was red. It soon dawned on me that our mother slapped her" he explained.

My eyes widened at that and I saw him gritting his teeth more.

I can't believe their parents would react that way to Olivia coming out.

Yes, I know that everyone is going to be supportive because of that topic, but for a mother to slap her own child is wrong.

When mom was still alive she would always yell at me when I did something wrong, sometimes she'd pull at my ear, but she never hit me.

She never laid a hand on me. Ever.

And when I told dad about me being gay, he was nothing but supportive and hugged me and told me that he was proud of me.

So, for their mother to react the way she did is wrong.

"Did the same thing happen to you? Did you get into an argument with your parents when you told them about being bisexual?" I shakily asked.

I honestly don't know if I want to know what happened.

But, my curiosity has gotten the best of me and I want to know.

Luke let out a bitter chuckle and shook his head, looking down at the water.

"I didn't tell them anything, they found out on their own. They caught one of my one night stands, a junior boy, leaving the house and confronted me. I was pissed when they assumed I was gay and told them that I was bisexual. That didn't really help my case because they told me that I shouldn't be hoeing around and I should find a nice girl and tie the knot rather than giving myself up to multiple boys and girls" he explained.

I suddenly found myself wanting to find his deadbeat parents so I could beat them to a pulp.

How dare they call someone as amazing as Luke that terrible name?

Sure, he might've had tons of one night stands and flings with many girls and boys, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Especially when that's something he wanted to, something he was comfortable with, something that he wasn't forced into doing.

Everyone fools around once in a while and that's not something to name call them for.

I'm not a judgmental person.

I would never judge Luke just because of what he used to do before coming here.

His business is his own and I have to respect that. I always will no matter what.

"My father tried slapping me when I talked back to him, but I punched him in the face, hard. It sent him to the ground and when I saw that I actually broke it, I was smug. I showed him and my mother that I'm not someone to be messed with and neither is Liv. The fear in their eyes was amusing and the pride look in Liv's eyes, since she witnessed everything, was everything. After that, Liv and I packed our things and left. We didn't have to worry about money because our  grandparents left us with all the money they had saved up" Luke explained.

"How much did they leave you and Liv?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Enough for us to rent the apartment we're staying in and buy food, water and clothes. We don't have to worry about rent since Olivia actually found herself a job, thanks to June, and it's enough to pay the rent" he told me.

I smiled faintly at that and nodded.

He smiled faintly at me before letting out a sigh, running his hand down his face.

"Our lives have been better after we ran off. They were even better when we moved here because we didn't have to worry about running into them. Liv and I might be living on our own but as long as we have each other, especially June and Jake, we'll be alright" he explained.

However, what happened next shocked me.

Luke turned his head around and when his eyes met mine, I saw tears welling up in his eyes.

He did his best to hold them in, not allowing them to fall, but the tears were still visible.

"But, I can't lie when I say that I miss my grandparents. Liv and I miss them almost everyday. They were our parents, they raised us our entire lives and they were the ones to shower us with love and care. And now they're gone and I-I just want them back. I want them to hold me, I want them to reassure me that everything is going to be alright and I want them to shower us with the love they always showered us with since the day we were born" Luke explained.

It dawned on me what was happening...

Luke Carter was actually tearing up, he was actually showing his emotions to me.

He was showing his vulnerable side to me...

And because that, I wanted to comfort him as best as I could and remind him that he's not alone and that he has me.

That I'm always going to he there for him the same way he's gonna be there for me.

Without hesitation, I scooted closer to his side and brought him into a tight hug, gently bringing his head to my shoulder.

Luke didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around me as he hugged me back. He silently sobbed into my shoulder and I felt his shoulders shake slightly.

"Shh, shh, it's alright. It's alright. I'm here" I softly said.

"Why does it hurt? I've never felt this way in a while and I thought I learned to move on from their death" Luke sobbed.

Why does it hurt to see him this way?

Maybe because I'm used to seeing him so confident and determined and not once  did he let that falter.

He's never shown weakness to anyone.

Seeing him in this state breaks my heart because I'm used to him being so confident in himself.

But, like my dad always said, everyone breaks at some point in their life.

 "It's alright to still miss them, it's alright to still be hurting. It's the same way I felt when my mom died and it's the same way I still feel. I miss her the same way you miss your grandparents and it sucks that she's gone and not coming back" I explained to him.

I sighed and pulled him back so that I could see his face.

I gently cupped his face with my hands and wiped his tears away. 

He smiled faintly as he felt my hands on my cheeks, almost immediately he leaned into my touch. 

I'm glad I have that affect on him the same way he has that affect on me.

"It's alright to still feel the way you do. Trust me. I still feel the same way as I long for my mom, so does my dad. But, remember that you aren't alone. You've got your sister, your friends and you also have me" I told him.

When  I finished wiping his tears, I moved my hands down to his shoulders and rested them there. 

"And remember that I'm not going anywhere. Because I care about you the same way you care about me. I'd never leave you alone in any of this because you mean alot to me" I softly smiled.

Luke's eyes met mine and I saw so many emotions wash through them.

He slowly placed his hands onto my face, gently cupping them, as he stared into my eyes.

I stared back into his own eyes and not once did I tear away from them.

"I'm glad that I mean alot to you. Because you mean alot to me too. You always have, ever since I met you" Luke softly smiled. 

It honestly didn't surprise me when I felt my heart flutter at his words.

Never in my entire life did anyone say such beautiful words to me the way that Luke did. 

However, I wanted him to know that I truly do care about him.

I wanted him to know that I care about him as more than just a friend.

I want him to know that he's not just a friend to me. I want him to know that he means more to me than that.

I want him to know that I've grown feelings for him. The same way he's grown feelings for me.

And my dad has always told me that action speaks louder than words...

So, I'm gonna finish what we started yesterday...

Without wasting anymore time, I leaned in and pressed my lips onto his.

I watched as his eyes widen in shock, clearly taken aback by my actions.

However, I watched in satisfaction as he slowly leaned into my touch and began kissing me back as his hands remained where they were.

We poured out all our emotions into this kiss because this is something that we have been wanting to do since that day at the mall.

We both have gained feelings for each other and it was only a matter of time for us to finally take action.

One of us has to make the first move.

And I'm happy that I'm the one that took action.

Because I just couldn't wait any longer. I really couldn't. 

My hands tightened on his shoulders as I deepened the kiss, causing him to moan loudly. 

I smirked and let my hands wander down to his waist and wrapped them around it, pulling him closer.

Finally, after about a minute, we pulled away from the kiss to catch our breath.

Our cheeks were bright red, our lips were swollen and we were panting heavily. 

I swear Luke looked upset because we parted but he has to understand that we did need air.

Finally, when we managed to calm down, we leaned in and pressed our foreheads together. 

"Well. That was clearly unexpected, not that I'm complaining" Luke grinned cheekily. 

"Me neither. Especially when I've been wanting to do that for quite a while" I grinned back just as cheekily. 

"Me too. And, well, we almost did yesterday but we kind of got interrupted" Luke said.

Yeah. I remember.

I really had to stop myself from smacking my own dad with a slice of pizza because of yesterday. 

I opened my mouth to say something when Luke shushed me.

I raised an eyebrow at him in confusion but he simply smiled at me.

He closed his eyes, mouthed something under his breath, before reopening his eyes as he stared at mine again.

"Stiles Stilinski, will you do me the honor of going on a date with me this weekend?" Luke breathlessly asked.

Alright, now I wasn't expecting that...

But, then again, we did just share a passionate kiss...

And the feelings we share for one another are reciprocated. 

I panted slightly as I was still a little out of breath, my cheeks remained red and I kept my forehead pressed against his.

When I managed to calm down, I stared into his eyes and told him my answer.

And I told him my answer with confidence, that way he knows that I'm serious...

"Yes"
