Stiles's P.O.V:

        It was decently early in the afternoon the day after the whole run in. Having breakfast with the MF gang and Klaus at the Grill was chaotic, to say the least. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a serrated blade, and no matter how much I worked on making it civil they didn't stop death glaring at each other. That probably wasn't going to stop anytime soon I bet.

       Tyler, Matthew, and Lucas were unusually touchy and clingy. The only answer they would give us was that they felt like something was about to change, so it sent them into a frenzy of being extremely close to me.

    We finished our breakfast in a rush, and we left to get to the boarding house faster. The reason we were heading back so soon is so we could plan our best strategies against whatever was heading our way. We had learned not to ignore gut instincts after all of the shit that we've been through, and either we faced it together or in our separate ways. 

    It was just our luck that we'd decided to walk to the Grill instead of our cars. The worst part was that the weather started to get bad pretty quickly. I wasn't dressed for the weather like an idiot, and I can get sick very easily. Then the next thing I know my legs are giving out, and I was extremely cold all over. I was thrown into a coughing fit, and after I was done with that I was shivering badly. This was wearing me out very fast, and we were almost there so I simply passed out. 

   During a brief moment I heard a familiar growl, and whoever was holding me tensed up, but it was probably just my imagination.

Tyler's P.O.V:

  Stiles collapsed halfway when we were on our way back to the Salvatore Boarding House, and Klaus was carrying him back there. None of us were happy about it, but he was the fastest just in case the gut feeling is evil. Because then he can get Stiles out in a matter of seconds, and we wouldn't have to worry about him. 

   We all became extremely worrisome when he began shaking, and his forehead was almost the same body temp as us wolves. Then Elena and Jeremy assured us that this was normal for him to get sick easily and that it would be pretty bad so it lasted hours (a day at most).

   He was quite adorable while he slept, and with this fever, he hallucinated so random things would be mumbled. Like "Give me back my soup ice cream duck!", "Where's the chihuahua, Miguel?". He'd even said this: "The mean Dracula stole a toothpick, so the poor Tooth Fairy was robbed. Let's get Santa to help get that toothpick back. Stupid Dracula......" It was hilarious, so I hoped someone recorded him saying this stuff. *A/N: *raised eyebrow* blackmail much? 😂*

   We were almost back to the house when I caught unfamiliar scents, and Klaus, Lucas, and Matthew smelled it too because they tensed up. We heard a really loud growl that seemed non-threatening, and it had Stiles mumbling something we barely could understand. It sounded something like "irik" or "drek", and honestly, I have no idea what he was saying. Right then and there I could care less, for I had something more important to deal with.

   After that particular moment, three men came into our line of sight. The younger two looked to be about 17 or 18 years old while the other one could be 25. They were werewolves, but that's what I think they are. Because I could smell it, but they smelled a little different than us in Mystic Falls. They knew what we were because we watched each of them take a sniff, and then all three of them looked at us curiously. 

   While I assessed them to see if they were a threat in the background the gang covered Klaus and Stiles. That was to make sure the strangers don't see them or catch their scent. We had no idea what they were capable of, so we had to take precautions proceeding this.

"Who are you? What do you guys want?" Stefan asked them. The older one stepped up to speak. 

  "My name is Derek and those two are Isaac and Liam. We don't mean any harm we're just looking for someone." He answered.

"Who are you looking for? Maybe we can help you find them." Elena offered.

   "We're looking for our pack mom. Our Alpha didn't take it too well on who our pack mom was, and forced us to ignore him until he left. We wanted to be with our pack mom, but we weren't strong enough to defy our Alpha and we severely regret it. If we can find him we would ask him for forgiveness and try to form a new pack." This time it was the curly-haired one, Isaac.

" Are you talking about Stiles?" If it was Stiles and they tried to take him all hell would break loose. *A/N: sorry that's already happened. A few times if I'm not mistaken 😏*

   "Yeah!! Have you seen him!?!?" Liam looked like a puppy and if he had a tail it would be wagging. 

We moved a little to show them Stiles in Klaus's arms.

   "MOM!!" Isaac and Liam screamed. They tried to get closer to Stiles but that's when we closed the circle. They didn't seem to like that at all because the next thing that happened they transformed into what I could only assume was their werewolf form, and they were growling signaling that they were pissed off.

  "What happened to him? What have you done? Let us see him!!!" Derek growled.

"We've done nothing to him he simply has a fever, and we were just taking him inside the house. We won't let you see him until you've proven you're worthy of him. He told us all about and I'm not impressed." Klaus's voice rang through the circle.

  "How?! How do we prove ourselves to you?! We'll do anything!" Isaac said.

"Let's go inside and talk, and Klaus take him to my bedroom." Damon told him. Klaus nodded and in a second he was gone.

  "Wha-what is he!?" Isaac asked. We figured that Derek was the leader of this little trio since he tried to prevent Isaac from asking.

"Hybrid. Half werewolf, half-vampire." Caroline responded and shrugged like it was a normal thing, but for us, it was anyway.

   "Okaaaaaaaaayyyy..." 

  We all walked inside and went to the living room where Klaus was already waiting. All of us either sat down or just leaned against the wall. Our gang sat looking at the stairs whereas the other three sat on the couch with their backs to the stairs.

"Stiles is in your bed, and I already gave him medicine to bring down his fever." Klaus informed us to which I gave him a nod to show that I was grateful for that.

  "Soooooo, what do you want us to do to prove ourselves worthy?" Liam asked this time.

"We don't know, so stay silent while we discuss this." Damon replied.

   We gathered in a shitty circle of sorts and closed in so we could talk a little more privately. Although that didn't do much since they probably had enhanced hearing.

"What should we make them do?" Matthew asked.

 "I don't know, but nothing deadly because Stiles would kill us." Jeremy said.

"What if we make them fight each other?" Damon said.

  "That counts as deadly Damon," Stefan answered.

"Jump off a cliff?" Again Damon.

  "That's deadly too." Stefan said.

"Chase off the hunters in town?" Damon suggested again.

   "Deadly." *A/N: Hero-haired Stefan to the rescue 😂😂😂.*

"How about-"

    "DAMON! Everything you're saying counts as deadly." Stefan finalized.

"What if I turned them into hybrids?" Klaus suggested.

  "That's not exactly something they have to do Klaus." Elena replied.

"I know but we could give them the choice to either turn or leave, and if they decide to turn then they get to stay with us and Stiles." Klaus answered.

  "That's actually not bad." Damon said.

"You're all forgetting the part where Klaus can make them do anything with the sire bond if they turn into Hybrids right?" I stated.

   "Oooooohhhh right so we're back to square one." Damon said.

   That's pretty much how our conversation went. We were so absorbed into trying to find something to use as a trial that we didn't notice Stiles walk down the stairs until we heard him.

"Derek?"

Derek's P.O.V:

  What the group was saying was absolutely bizarre, and I hoped they didn't go through with any of those ideas because they were pretty fucking dangerous. By the looks on both Isaac and Liam's faces, I could tell it was a solid agreement on that one. I wasn't looking forward to those trials. *A/N: Eh? Eh? Get it? Get it? Trials? Maze Runner? Okay nvm*

  That's when I heard it.

"Derek?"

  I turned around at the same time as everyone else, and I saw Stiles with his moles and his cute upturned nose. His beautiful amber eyes that I had missed so much. Isaac and Liam sprung from their seats practically tackled Stiles with a big hug. They were cuddling him saying that they missed him and that they were sorry while they were balling their eyes out. Stiles took a second to comprehend what was happening, and he returned the hug beginning to soothe them saying that it was alright and that he missed them too.

   Just seeing them like that brought so many emotions that I stumbled a bit from the force of it, and it was at this moment I realized what those feelings were. I loved him. I loved how he was; I loved his sarcastic remarks. I loved how fearless he was; I loved how he was with the rest of the pack. I loved the fact that I got to know him a bit more; I loved his smile and his dimple along with his laugh. I just loved him.

   I thought back to all the moments we shared throughout the years, and I realized that I had loved him all along and that he loved me. I remembered the nervous tick his heart would make every time he saw me that I thought was just me. The looks he would give me that I thought were just imagined, and the times he would say something trying to get me to figure it out when I just couldn't.

   That's why the second Isaac and Liam let him go I walked right up to him and pressed my lips firmly against his. *A/N: 'note sarcasm' wooaaaahhh is that what kissing is?* It wasn't passionate and hard, but it was slow and careful as I tried to show him my newfound feelings through it. By the way, he kissed back I knew that the feelings were reciprocated.

  I pulled away when I heard that he needed oxygen and just hugged him.

    "I missed you, and I love you." I said while I buried my face in his hair and wrapped my arms around him feeling a little worn out.

"I know I'm sorry and I love you too." He mumbled into my shoulder, and for the first time since the fire, I felt at peace with him in my arms. 

   Knowing that I loved someone again and that they loved me back. It probably seemed sudden to most, but when you live in a world where there's a threat every week the lines between slow and fast tended to blur a bit. It's not like I suddenly started to love him out of the blue. I loved him, but I just didn't know it yet.

  So while the Mystic Falls group watched us awkwardly, and the Beacon Hills pups cheered us on. I just ignored all of them and enjoyed the feeling of Stiles in my arms for the first time.

  It was blissful.

OH, MY GODS!! AHHHHH MY BACK HURTS!! Seriously I was bent over my iPad at 03:13 in the morning finishing this chapter because I'm just running on internet this instead of my phone and jamming out to music about to the Mother of Dragons and her precious babes. Anyways thanks so much you guys for sticking around to deal with this. I know that there's way too many a/n's to count but I thought that it was best to let you guys what was going on or something of that reason. The game is set now........

Stay tuned.
