There have been whispers around the school that Mr Stilinski and Mr Hale are dating. They decide to set the record straight.
They’ve heard the whispers circulating the school, a buzz of chatter filling the school halls like a swarm of bees.
Mr Hale – the English teacher – and Mr Stilinski – the history teacher and assistant coach for the lacrosse team – are dating.
They weren’t quite sure when it started, but whispers of their alleged relationship had spread throughout the school. Snippets of gossip and rumours would trail back to them.
“Did you see the way Mr Hale looked at Mr Stilinski today?”
“I’ve never seen Mr Hale smile, but Mr Stilinski makes him smile.”
“They’d make such a cute couple.”
“I saw Mr Stilinski in Mr Hale’s office the other day.”
“Mr Hale helped Mr Stilinski put away the sports gear after practice yesterday, and they were in the equipment room for quite some time.”
“Mr Hale and Mr Stilinski always spend their lunch breaks together in their classrooms.”
For the most part, they were amusing, harmless gossip and stories made up by kids who had watched a few too many romance movies, but it was starting to get out of hand. So Stiles and Derek decided to address the rumours.
They called all their students together and gathered in one of the larger classrooms. Students crammed in where they could, sitting in chairs or on the floor, a few perching themselves on the cabinets that lined the far wall. The room was filled with a quiet buzz of chatter, a mixture of confusion, concern, and excitement.
Derek stood in front of his desk. His arms were crossed over his chest as he leant back against the edge of the desk. Stiles stood beside him, hands buried in the pockets of his jacket.
“Alright,” Derek said gruffly.
The room fell silent.
“We’re heard quite a lot of talk around the school about whether or not Mr Stilinski and I are dating,” Derek started.
The students started cheering. Some let out excited gasps and a few students shouted, “I knew it!”
Derek drew in a deep breath, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. He waited for them to settle before continuing, “We’ve decided to clear this up, once and for all. Mr Stilinski and I are not dating.”
The room filled with shocked gasps, hushed whispers and a one student who was brave enough to shout, “Yet!”
Stiles ducked his head, hiding his smirk as he struggled to smother his laughter.
Derek waited for the room to fall quiet, his stern stare hushing the room.
“Mr Stilinski and I are not dating,” he reiterated. Pausing for a moment – waiting to see if the students would object again – before adding, “We’re married.”
The room burst into a cacophony of noise: cheers, screams, applause. You could have sworn they were celebrating winning the nationals, not finding out their teachers were married.
Stiles couldn’t hold it in any more, he burst out laughing, turning away from his students so that they couldn’t see how bright red his face was.
Derek glanced over at him, his harsh features softening as he smiled lovingly at Stiles and let out a quiet chuckle.
Stiles drew in a dep breath, gathering himself as he raised his voice above the noise to say, “And nothing happened in the equipment room.”
The members of the lacrosse team and a few other students who had heard that rumour started laughing.
somehow, blood does nothing for were-bat stiles, but no fruit bowl is safe. soon enough, derek’s apartment has one reliably half-open back window, and a freshly-stocked bowl of every fruit stiles could ask for.
if the roles were reversed, stiles’d probably have a photo of it by now. one very nectar-drunk fruit bat, passed out on a hoard of persimmons like a furry-faced dragon.
but that’s nothing next to the rest of it. where stiles wakes with a start, and nearly flails right off the table at the sight of the werewolf just watching him.
“sugar crash,” derek says, straight-faced, and stiles says, “aren’t you funny.”
but he lets derek help him down. gets his breath back, takes the apple derek hands to him.
“big fruit guy these days, huh?” stiles says, and derek shrugs.
“it’s good to be healthy.”
“funny thing about that,” stiles says. “i’ve never seen you eat something sweet in my entire life.”
“well, it’s been a while,” derek says. “people can change, right? in some ways, at least.”
“nope,” stiles says, and pats derek on the back, and says, “what’re you working on these days? can i see?”
“of course,” derek says, and stiles says, “and maybe you can weigh in on my enchanted car case. did i tell you about that one? that was crazy.”
“enchanted how?” derek says, and carefully says nothing as stiles’ arm settles around his shoulders.
he might be smiling at the door, that’s all. as he locks up, and as stiles lists closer to him in the elevator.
“i seriously never mentioned it?” stiles says. “where have i been? oh my god. okay, so there was this girl...”
I'm looking for some Sterek with soft Derek and happy endings. You know, the perfect mushy read after something dark and angst-ridden.
Okay, settle in for Everything is Beautiful and Nothing Hurts time
Physical Touch by mybestfriendsarebooks
Scott has noticed that Derek isn't big on physical affection.
Scott and the others had made peace with that and knew when not to push or back away quickly.
One person seems to be the exception.
Scott notices the progression of this affection over the years.
The Words You Speak by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)
Stiles just stared at her. “Derek’s a Werewolf, why the hell would he be in the hospital?”
Melissa gave him an odd look, then turned to Scott for help, who looked just as lost. At least it wasn’t another one of Stiles’ oblivious moments, though considering Scott’s IQ, it wasn’t exactly hard to be down at his level.
Melissa turned back to Stiles, still looking confused. “Whenever Derek has a bad day, he always goes to the postnatal ward at the hospital. He likes being around all the babies, and he’s actually really good with them. The women up there love him, he can get the crying ones to stop in a second. Not sure if it’s a wolf thing or a Derek thing, but it’s very sweet.”
Derek did what now?
“Did you both not know this?” Melissa turned to include Scott in her inquiry. “He’s been doing this for well over a year, I figured you knew.”
Ain't Nothing so Good as the Cake and Eating it by sofonisba_found

what a big heart i have (better to love you with) by crazyassmurdererwall (smartalli)
Stiles has a massive thing for Derek Hale.
This is not news. Stiles, after all, has been carrying a torch for Derek ever since they bumped into each other at a taco cart at the start of his freshman year.
But what is news? With no hope of ever capturing Derek’s attention, Stiles is thinking it might be time to let that torch go. Try to let it burn out.
(Derek might have something to say about that.)
Three Lost Kids, Two Minute Noodles and One Hot Mate. by MysticEdge

Little Promises by crossroadswrite

“It’s not a kid,” Erica counters. “It’s just-“

In which Isaac and Scott get de-aged, the pack must learn to bond and protect their own, and Derek ("Dewek!") and Stiles ("Sti-ewes!") are mates…even if it takes them forever and two toddlers to realize it.
“Oh, God.” Stiles buries his face in his hands, water dripping down his wrists.
“What? What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Derek whips out a towel, wrapping it around Stiles’ forearms, pulling them away from Stiles’ body so he can look them over.
“I’m fine,” Stiles says, a little blankly. Erica and Boyd have set Issac and Scott back onto the floor, tickling them both into fits of giggles. He huffs out a noise that’s not quite a whimper, not quite a laugh. “Just wondering when the hell I ended up in my very own episode of ‘Teen Mom’.”
Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me? by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)
So if his dad hadn’t been the one to come home and get him into bed properly, and was now making him breakfast, then who…?
Seriously, his embarrassment level couldn’t get any lower at this point. It was bad enough to imagine it was his dad, but to know Scott had come to take care of him was worse.
But not nearly as bad as the absolute horror and astronomical levels of embarrassment when Stiles walked into the kitchen and found Derek at the stove making French toast. Because of course it was Derek. If someone was going to see Stiles naked and passed out cold on his bed, why wouldn’t it be Derek? His long-time crush and provider of fap material? Sure, why not, life wasn’t horrible enough yet, might as well make it downright dreadful!

Sometimes Not Seeing Is Believing by FeelingFredly
Stiles gave him a lopsided grin. “I wouldn’t poison you, Der.” His grin turned sharp and sharklike. “At least not much. I just need to test it on you to make sure it will work on other weres.”
Derek snorted. “And you didn’t think Peter would be a better target for your experiments?”
That got him a shrugged shoulder. “He offered, but I didn’t think it was a good idea.”
---or that time when an invisibility potion helped Derek see things a lot more clearly.

Derek Hale is pretty much the worst person in the world to hypothetically develop a crush on, being a murder suspect, a dangerous werewolf, a weirdo who stalks people from the treeline, and also living in a train car, Jesus Christ.
(In response to jennova's prompt: Five times Stiles tries to make Derek smile and one time he succeeds but doesn’t notice because kissing or something.)
Loud Love
There wasn’t a single moment when they weren’t touching. They didn’t notice anyone — obsessed with each other, they were blind to all jealousy. The circle of one another’s arms encapsulated their world.
Close, tight, inseparable. They didn’t care if someone watched them, both lost in each other, entrapped.
In which Stiles is a struggling baker whose main customers are the feisty Hale sisters, and Derek is the reluctant pickup boy for their latest order.
They fall in love.

Burning For You by MadMim
Sterek | 25.5 k | completed
Summary:
Derek loves every part about being a firefighter except one: the annual charity calendar. That is until the new photographer waltzes into the firehouse. He easily charms every member of the pack but Derek worries about opening up to the human. Still he can't seem to keep Stiles at arms length, the photographer easily worming his way under Derek’s walls and into his heart.
Imagine Derek likes to leave gifts for stiles randomly in his room. But he does it in a way that stiles doesn’t even notice it’s a gift. Like he buys stiles new shoes (same as the old pair) but leaves them on stiles shoe rack. He buys stiles new clothes and just folds them into his drawers and closet. Electronics are harder to buy. Derek buys stiles a new phone after his other one cracked but he gets them same color and puts on the same case and transfers all his stuff on it. He buys stiles his favorite snacks as it’s running out and just put it in the pantry.
Stiles starts to notice but he’s just confused. He could have sworn the inner soles of his shoes were wearing thin, or that he ate that bag of Doritos. He starts to panic that he might be losing his mind and Derek has to own up to buying things for Stiles and sneaking them in with his stuff. Stiles knows that it’s Derek’s way of showing love so he lets Derek do it with the exception that he tells Stiles.

The Sheriff sighs and plops down in a chair opposite his son.
“Stiles, I’m going crazy here. We need to get you to a doctor. You sleep like you’re trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, and your eating habits are bizarre! You vomit around the clock and for some reason only the tea your mother used when she was pregnant will get your stomach to settle down for any length of time. Is there something you aren’t telling me? Can werewolves get guys pregnant? I’ve noticed how you look at that Hale kid-”
Stiles meeps and flails, sloshing tea down his front. Luckily it’s not scalding anymore, but still hot, so he jumps up and wrenches his shirt off.
“God, dad, no! Guys can’t get pregnant, that’s ridiculous, it’s like...”

“Holy—shit,” Stiles breathed, Bacon stopping in what he was doing, still staring at him intently, as if begging him to understand, for someone to finally understand. Stiles felt like he’d been electrocuted and he leapt out of his chair, kneeling in front of Bacon and grabbing at his furry face. “Holy shit! Oh my God, are you—wait, holy—you’re not fucking with me, right?!”
Bacon let out two quick barks, which Stiles chose to interpret as ‘no.’
“Oh my God, are you a real person in there?!” Stiles shouted in the wolf’s face, staring him right in the eye. He was still holding the wolf’s head with both hands, but Bacon dipped his muzzle in confirmation and Stiles officially lost his mind.
“Oh my God!” he shouted again, releasing Bacon to clutch at his own hair. “Oh my God! Dude, for real?! You’re—holy shit! Holy shit!” He didn’t know how to react to this news. He had no fucking idea how to react. This was a person?! But how?! How was this a person?! People didn’t just turn into wolves!

He wasn’t good at knowing the best thing to say, knowing how to comfort someone. He never had been. That had always been his mom or Laura.
He thought of them then, of his mom’s warm eyes and Laura’s thoughtful expression. He remembered that night she’d tucked him into the Camaro, smoke still clinging to their hair and clothes, remembered what she’d said and he thought those words would stick with him until the day he died.
He watched Stiles for a long heartbeat; his own head slightly cocked as he listened to Stiles’s heart simmer back from the enraged crescendo it’d worked itself into. When it settled back to something sad and steady, like the vibration on a string instrument, Derek offered an uncertain echo of Laura’s words. “We’ll work this out, Stiles.”
