You texted me first

Derek ---> Scott

Derek:
Scott, we need to talk

Scott:
Dude, I'm busy. What is it? Did you bite another innocent teenager?

Derek:
Put away the sarcasm or I'll murderer you

Scott:
How does it come that you're always so charming Derek?

Derek:
Shut up

Scott:
Just tell me what you wanted so I can go back to my DATE

Derek:
Oh please, like someone would date you

Scott:
Wow, thanks for the confident boost, idiot

Derek:
We need to talk

Scott:
About what...? Like I said, I don't have time for this right now

Derek:
You don't have time to talk about your best friend?

Scott:
What do you mean?

Derek:
Stiles is beyond pissed right now. He even turned off his phone

Scott:
He never turns off his phone

Derek:
I know. He's mad and hurt that we didn't believe him

Scott:
What should we do? We don't know for sure who or what it was that did that. It could possibly have been Stiles. Like Isaac said, the claw marks on the man matched those in your basement

Derek:
That doesn't mean that it was Stiles

Scott:
But what if it was?

Derek:
Why don't you have faith in him?

Scott:
Cause I remember how it was to go through the turning process. It was horrible and I did things I couldn't control. What if Stiles haven't found himself an anchor?

Derek:
Then we will help him find one

Scott:
How?

Derek:
It need to be something that Stiles care about. Something he loves. Something that keeps him human. What's your anchor?

Scott:
Well at first it was Allison but then when we broke up, I became my own anchor. My mum help me realise that could go through this, I just needed to believe in myself. What's yours?

Derek:
It was anger...

Scott:
What is it now?

Derek:
Stiles

Scott:
Oh

Derek:
Yeah

Scott:
You still haven't told him, right? The thing about him being your mate?

Derek:
No. I haven't

Scott:
Maybe you should tell him

Derek:
I know I should but I'm scared. Every person I have ever shown interest in has either tried to kill me or gotten really hurt by someone. I can't let that happen to Stiles. I just...I can't

Scott:
Derek, Stiles is nothing like Kate. He won't end up hurt you, and Stiles is not Paige. He's not going to die, okay?

Derek:
What if I can't protect him?

Scott:
Then we will help you. We're a pack Derek, remember?

Derek:
I can't lose him. I can't lose one more person I care about. I love him Scott

Scott:
I know you do and you know what? He loves you more than I think you can imagine

Derek:
Really?

Scott:
Really.

Derek:
Thank you Scott. I'm sorry that I disturbed you. I'm going to go

Scott:
Wait!

Derek:
What?

Scott:
Did Mr. Grumpy just apologise?

Derek:
Scott?

Scott:
Yes?

Derek:
Shut up

Scott:
Give Stiles some time, okay? Text me when he's answering again

Derek:
I will

Scott:
