Unfortunately for Derek, Scott doesn't miss it. The hurt in Derek's eyes, the way he says be with me, and Scott isn't quite that oblivious, not with his friends tangled up in this too. There's a hint of a whimper as Derek's fingers tighten painfully in his hair, forcing their gazes to melt together.
"This isn't about the pack, is it?"
The words out of his mouth before he even gives himself a chance to think better of it, not that he ever makes that choice. As much as Scott has been trying to fight this, he's starting to get the feeling that maybe he can't. He feels it too, even if the only place he allows himself to acknowledge it are in dreams he'd never even tell Stiles about. Because Derek's right -- he does know that he should be. That somehow they fit together despite Scott's stubbornness and Derek's pride.
There's a moment where his body tenses, and then he exhales, because there's no choice. If there ever was. There's something that shifts, changes in his gold eyes as he keeps looking into those scarlet red eyes, even as his body shivers. He should just give him what he wants. Just say it. But that's hard for Scott to manage, because even when bending, meeting somewhere in the nebulous space between them he's still stubborn.
"Okay. I.. I'll be with you from now on."
Because there was a power, a weight to the words that Scott wasn't entirely comfortable with. You're my Alpha just slipped away from him in that moment where he'd needed to say it.
