Date night. That's what im dying for. That's what I would die for. The whole time Derek and I have been dating, we haven't been on one date. Not one at all.

I wouldn't complain except for the fact we're setting up for Scott and Kira to have a date. If Scott a true alpha who doesn't catch a break can go on a date, surely Derek and I can.

I'm not gonna ask him, he should ask me.

I'm easy to plan a date to go on with. I would do pretty much anything for a date, But Derek oh- no. Derek would be so difficult to go on a date with because he is difficult.

Once we finished setting up, we drove to my dad's place.

I went inside and dragged Derek inside with me.

I found Stiles and Malia in the living room, doing homework. "Hey dudes. Looks like you're having fun." I say sitting beside Stiles. I pull Derek down beside me and put friends on the tv.

"Drop what you're doing, we're going out for dinner. Whatever you want." Dad says walking into the living room.

"Dad  I don't think a man of your debts should be treating anyone to anything." Stiles says and I look over to dad confused.

"Well... there's debts we no longer need to worry about." Dad says and I grab Derek's hand as dad pulls out an envelope. "What is that?" Stiles asks and Dad hands him the letter.

"A letter of apology from Eichen House. Apparently they've decided to forgive our debt due to, uh... Well  you and Lydia almost getting murdered." He says and I perk up.

"They can do that?" Malia asks. "They sure can." I say looking up at dad who was smiling. "I've never been so happy to have almost been murdered." Stiles says cheerfully.

"Then some angel, who's anonymous, has paid massive chunks out of our medical bills. We're gonna be okay." Dad says looking between Stiles and I.

"And right now, I can afford to take my kids and their lovers out to dinner." Dad says and I jump up as I cringe. "Don't say that ever again." I say patting his shoulder.

"Derek, Malia, what's your favourite food?" Dad asks. "Deer." Malia bursts out and I laugh softly.

"Pizza, she likes pizza." Stiles adds for her. "Derek?" Dad asks. "Pizza's good with me." He says and I squeeze Derek's hands.

Dinner was lovely, I loved having dinner all together. We've only ever had a meal together once and now everything was

Watchin the game was actually horrendous. Stiles, wasn't doing so well.  He got body slammed and I look over to

Stiles comes over to us and starts telling us he's worried about Scott and he's gonna start looking for him.

"We can check our place." Derek says and I nod as we stand up. "Do you want me to stay here incase he shows up?" Malia asks and Stiles nods. "Yes." He says and the four of us leave the game.

When we get back to the loft, Derek sighs as we look inside. "You should call your dad." He says and I nod before doing so.

"What the hell happened?" Stiled asks. "It was supposed to be a date." Derek answers. "They were both here?" Dad asks. "Now they've both gone bye byes." I say and Stiles rolls his eyes.

Stiles phone rings and he answers it.

"They're in Mexico. Kate took them." Stiles says and I roll my eyes. "Of course she did." I say sighing.

"We need to go." Stiles says rushing to the door. "No, we can't go now. It's to late. Plus we need to come up with a plan." I say and Stiles sighs before leaving with dad.

Derek and I didn't get that much sleep.

We had spent hours cleaning the loft whilst trying to get a hold of Argent. I also rang Braeden and explained the whole thing to her and asked her to come round at a suitable time.

"I still don't like relying on these things." Derek says with a 'huff' whilst looking at the guns. "I get it. You miss your power. I would, too." Braeden says whilst loading up some guns.

"It's not about the power, it's about being able to help. I don't like feeling helpless." Derek says and I squeeze his shoulder.

"Im human." Braeden says. "Do I look helpless?" She asks whilst loading a gun. "You've got a better shot then me. You're trained." Derek says and I sigh.

"I don't want you to come." Derek says, turning to me. "I am absolutely going." I say and he rolls his eyes. "I won't be able to keep you safe." He says and I shrug. "Who cares, now shut it dear bear." I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Is this gonna be enough to take down one Berserker?" Derek asks and Peter laughs from somewhere upstairs. "Not even close." He says coming down a few steps.

"Killing a Berserker is next to impossible. It's not just the firepower, it's breaking the animal spirit from the human." Peter says and I roll my eyes.

"Well, the one person we know with that kind of experience is Argent. And he's not getting back to me." Derek says.

"Well then, we're gonna need help." Peter says and I raise an eyebrow. "Like Malia, maybe Liam. Definitely me." Peter says and smirks. He is so cocky.

****

We met up with Braeden (who'd gone to get a US transport van), Malia, Stiles and Liam. We'd talked over the plan and off to Mexico we were. Dad is gonna kill me when he realises I've gone behind his back and took Stiles to Mexico.

The van had gotten out of control when Liam couldn't stay in control as we neared closer to the church we were going.

Even though Derek and Stiles had tried to teach Liam control, it didn't work.

We arrived at the church and I watched Braeden check her guns. Derek opened the door and stepped outside to be met, face to face with a Berserker.

The Berserker attacks him as I jump out of the  van. I go to rush to Derek when Braeden pulls me back and starts shooting at them. I suddenly remember where I am and it hits me that I would never be able to go after a Berserker for Derek.

When the Berserker leaves I head to Derek's side. I move his hand to see where he was holding. I almost gag at all the blood and how deep the wound was.

"How bad is it?" Peter asks. "Im fine, I'm fine. Just get to Scott." He says to them.  "Just find him. We'll be right behind you." Derek argues. "Go!" He yells and Peter runs in, followed by Malia and Liam.

"Hey." Derek says looking up at Stiles. "Save him." He says and Stiles looks ovet to me. I nod whilst holding my hand over Derek's, on his wound.

"Save your best friend." I say to Stiles. "I'll save mine." I say and he nods. He kisses my head and gives Derek a sympathetic look before running off.

"Lydia was right." Derek says and I shake my head no. "You aren't dying. Shut up." I say putting a little bit more pressure on his wound.

"It's a mortal wound and right now I'm feeling pretty mortal." He says and I scoff. "We've done this before. I got shot and stuck here for weeks and I didn't die. You aren't going to die." I say looking into his eyes.

Braden hands me a gun before goimg to check out the area, not going too far.

A growl was head and I sigh. "If they come here, you need to save yourself." Derek says and I roll my eyes. "You have to be there for Stiles, Nia." He says and I nod. "I know." I say groaning.

I watch Braeden check out the area whilst holding one hand to Derek's core, the next on a gun that I don't even know how to use.

Braeden shoots continuously and I grip the gun tighter. "How the tables turn, am I right?" I ask Derek in attempt to lighten the mood. "Oh definitely." He grunts.

When everything goes silent me and Derek exchange glances. Suddenly a cars drives in and start shooting as well.

I climb onto Derek's lap and cover him with my body. "Your boob is in my face." Derek grunts and I scoff. "Shut up." I say and sigh.

Derek becomes hazy against my boob. "Hey, what are you doing?" I ask as his breathing slows. "I love you." He mumbles and I roll my eyes. "Duh." I say.

I look down at Derek to see his eyes closed and I could no longer feel his breath against my boob.

"Derek?" I ask waiting for an answer. "Derek?" I ask more seriously. "You fucking better wake up. This isn't the best time to find your humour." I say.

"Nia, he's gone." Braeden says kneeling down beside me. "He's gone." She says and I shake my head no. "He's not." I say and she sighs. "He is." She says sympathetically.

She puts my hand over his neck and there was no pulse. He is dead.

I feel my eyes get watery as I struggle to swallow the lump in my throat. "Shit." I mutter whilst grabbing his hand. I begin to cry into his shoulder.

"You promised. You promised." I cry until eventually Braeden pulls me away and into shelter with here where I cry.

I listen to the gun shots and the distance of Kate Argent's voice.

I'm angry.

Im hurt.

Derek has died on me again. This is such a weird situation. No one would ever have to go through the pain of losing the same person twice.

The first time Derek died, I'd heard from Stiles and broke down.

Now, Derek had died against my boob. My literal boob. The last thing he probably heard me say was "duh." Like how shit is that?

Atleast we went out the way we started right? A too serious man and a literal angel who spends half her time happy, the other half sarcastic.

I've only told him I loved him once. One time! And now he's dead. I feel sick.

I pull my knees into my chest to just cry. No one has made me cry as hard as my mom's death, except for Derek. I cried so hard the first time and now im uncontrollably sobbing. I hate the fact he's got this kind of control on me.

A wold howlimg had me looking up curiously.

"What in the hell?" Braeden whispers and I look up at her. "He's gone." She says and suddenly a wolf jumps over the wall and starts attacking Kate.

"No fucking way." I say to Braeden. "It can't be." I say and she shrugs.

The wolf stands up, except a second later it wasn't a wolf, if was Derek.

How's he gonna do this to me twice????

Dick.

"You were... you were dead." Kate says in almost a whisper I wasn't sure I heard it all correctly.

"No. I was evolving." Derek says. Wow. Sexy. "Yeah you were." I yell from behind him, making him grin. "Something you'll never do." He says to Kate.

He defeats a Berserker, naked, and I swear it's the hottest thing I've ever watched.

Chris shoots Kate and then they both run off.

Derek comes over to me and we head to his car to get some clothes.

"I'm gonna kill you." I complain as he tugs his clothes on. "I bet you are." He says and I roll my eyes.

"How the hell have you done this to me twice. This is the second time you've 'died'. And the second time I've broke down over your death. This isn't fair." I say and he smirks.

"You're a dick and I hate you but I love you." I say and he smiles before keaning down to kiss me. "Duh." He whispers to me and I roll my eyes before punching his chest.

****

I leant against Derek's car.

My dad's gonna kill me.

Stiles slowly makes his way to me and looks over at Derek. "I should kill you." Stiles says and Derek scoffs.

"I just got you back." Stiles sighs at me. "I know." I say and hug him.

"Please don't go with him." Stiles says and my heart wrenches as I take a step back towards Derek. "Stiles." I start by sighing.

"I know it's selfish but Derek's... Derek's boring and he... ugh." Stiles groans. "Please don't go." He says and I sigh.

I'd already made my decision.

It's not that I couldn't live without Derek, because I probably could. But there's not a left In Beacon Hills. I only have dad and Stiles there. It isn't like I won't visit when I can or when they need me. But if I don't leave with Derek now, there's a chance I'll have no clue where he is by Stiles' graduation which is the only thing holding me to the town.

"You have to go with him don't you?" Stiles asks and I nod slowly.

Stiles turns to Derek and just glares at him. "Make surs you take care of her." Stiles says and Derek sighs. "I guess." He jokes and I roll my eyes.

"I don't like this one bit." He says and I laugh before pulling him in for another hug. "Me either." I say and kiss his cheek before pulling away.

"I love you and please for the sake of everyone and everything, don't die." I say and he smiles. "You too." He says and I smile.

"Come on." Derek says tugging my hand.

I get into Derek's car and this is it. This is my new life. Derek slides into his seat and glances over to me.

"Are you ready, bonked nose?" He asks and I scoff. "I guess, sexy pants." I say smiling.
