Stiles watched Peter go and then sighed softly and shifted back against Derek a bit more. “I’m sorry,” he said again after a moment. “I… I know I should have just come to the manor to you and Peter but… I was having a really hard time with all of this… the fight… seeing Scott and the others at school every damn day… It was just… more than I wanted to deal with after everything.” He sighed once more. “How much trouble am I in?”
Derek shook his head. “I don’t think you’re in that much trouble. As for school, that’s a different issue. We’re the thing that keeps Peter in control of his wolf. The more Scott came around thinking we would let him see you, the harder it became for me not to go at him, which of course made Peter’s control strained.” he explained, kissing his head. “We were just worried, is all. But we figured you probably hadn’t been taking care of yourself when he finally put his foot down about Scott just showing up. I think Malia is trying to figure out where she wants to be, Scott’s basically cut the whole group off from us and you know she’s been trying to understand Peter more.”
Peter listened to them quietly, making a large lunch and getting plates made as he poured them water and set the table. He knew his control had been rough, which was why he was letting Derek be more physical at the moment. “Lunch is ready, boys. Come eat, both of you.”
