He sees the flash in Derek's eyes and it just serves to reinforce that knowledge that he's right. This isn't about the pack, this is about Derek, about this thing that's between them, that draws them together no matter how Scott tries to ignore it. It was there that first time in the forest, when Derek had tossed him his inhaler, and it had stubbornly refused to go away despite Scott's equally stubborn refusal to acknowledge there was anything there.
Except now Derek wins and Scott's finally admitting what they've both known all along, and really, that should be enough. At least, Scott thinks it should. But it's clearly not. Not when Derek is leaning in close, hissing in his ear and demanding that acknowledgement, that admittance that Derek is his Alpha. His breath is hot as it teases against Scott's ear and there's a spark of warmth in his body, from the proximity and the feeling that slips down his spine. Because Derek is hot and Scott is seventeen. He tries to ignore it, swallowing as he focuses on the words, on that demand.
"Derek, I can't." Scott didn't know how to say what the Alpha wanted from him. He was stubborn and independent, and trying to make him surrender to this, say those words was almost impossible.
