"Please tell me you're kidding", Isaac whined through the phone "I can't get all of you food and keep it hot. Can't you just at least join? Like let's meet up at one house so you can all have your food hot and nobody shouts at me?" It sounded like a question and it hurt Stiles to think that someone shouted at Isaac. This boy had gone through enough already. "That's fine with me. Will the others come over or are we going to another house?", Stiles smiled through the phone and he could hear Isaac letting out a breath. "We'll meet up at Scott's?", Isaac suggested as he was living there at the moment. "Sounds good to me. We will be there in about fifteen minutes I guess", Stiles told him and gestured for Derek to stand up. "Thank you", Isaac said relieved and hung up. "We're going over to Scott's", Stiles announced "so Isaac doesn't need to drive to three different houses". Derek growled silently. "Woah, what's wrong, sourwolf?", Stiles asked surprised at his reaction "you like your pack, remember?" "I also really like to kiss you", Derek stated and created one of those sweet smiles on Stiles' face that he liked so much. He leant down to kiss Stiles but soon pulled back. Stiles still made a kiss mouth and had his eyes closed, when Derek's lips left his. "Wha-what?", Stiles raised his eyebrows and opened one eye. "I also like to live", Derek shrugged "and I think when your dad who just woke up comes down to us kissing, he might shoot me in the head multiple times". Stiles took in a sharp breath "you might not be wrong with that". Derek took a few steps away from the sofa Stiles was still sitting on just to be sure. "Hey dad", Stiles waved at his father. The sheriff smiled at him tiredly. "Hey son, how's your face doing?" "It hurts but I feel okay with the painkillers", Stiles explained "oh, dad, we're heading over to Scott's. Are you working today?" "Not if there is nothing bad happening today", the sheriff made it sound like a question. "Oh no we're just hanging out, nothing supernatural going on right now", Stiles clarified. "Right now?", the sheriff asked done. "Oh no need to worry.....now", Stiles grinned at him apologetically. The sheriff just nodded and rolled his eyes. "I haven't cooked so I guess you have to order something for dinner", Stiles smiled at his dad whose face lit up. "So no healthy food today?", he asked just to be sure. "It's your day off. Go wild", Stiles laughed and got up. "I am gonna change and then we can head out", Stiles said to Derek and hurried up the stairs. "Derek", the sherrif nodded at him as he hadn't greeted him yet "you are gonna watch out for him, right?" "Of course", Derek said immediatly. The sheriff smiled at him as Stiles already came down the stairs. "Bye dad, enjoy your day off", Stiles yelled putting on his jacket. Derek did the same and soon they headed out the door, the sheriff smirking at them knowingly.

"Oh my god, Stiles, what happened to your face?", Melissa asked in shock when she opened the door for Stiles and Derek. "Umm...", Stiles tried to avoid the ugly truth. "It was Scott, wasn't it?", Melissa rolled her eyes unnerved. Stiles nodded, feeling like he betrayed Scott, although he was the one with a bruise on his face. "Scott McCall get your ass down here right now!", Melissa yelled up the stairs. Soon Scott came running down. "What have I done wro...oh", he said as he saw Stiles "it was an accident. I didn't mean to shoot him in the face". Melissa's eyes got wide while Scott tried to explain the situation. "You shot him?!", she threw up her hands in exaggeration "you know he doesn't heal like you do. You are supposed to take care of him, not hurt him". Scott looked at the floor ashamed. He didn't want to disappoint his mum, or Stiles. "I am sorry", he whispered sadly. "You already said that yesterday", Stiles smiled at his best friend "also I have a walking painkiller". He turned around to look at Derek who sighed. "I used to be the alpha, now I am a walking painkiller. That's just awesome", he said. Melissa laughed and patted Stiles shoulder. "I'm glad you're okay", she said then said her goodbye and headed out to work. They got in and went into the living room, settling down. "Weren't you supposed to take care of Allison?", Stiles asked. "Yeah, Aiden and Lydia pick her up. She slept until an hour ago", Scott told them "do you need anything for your face?" "Yeah that would be nice", Stiles nodded and received some frozen blueberries from Scott. Soon after the bell rang again and Allison, Lydia and Aiden entered the house. The girls hugged Stiles and settled down across from him. "You look...", Allison started struggling to find the right words. "Blue?", Lydia finished for her. "Thank you?", Stiles looked at them confused. "You're still good looking tho", she said and shrugged smiling at him. "I was told", he mumbled smirking, watching Derek from the corner of his eye. "What?", Allison asked, because she couldn't understand him. "Oh nothing", Stiles smiled at her innocently and she smiled back at him. "Does it hurt bad?", she then asked. "Scott tried to kill me a few times before, that's not the worst", Stiles joked. "It wasn't on purpose", Scott rolled his eyes trying to defend himself and made the others laugh in the process. The doorbell rang again and Isaac and Ethan arrived with their food. They put it on the table and settled down themselves. Isaac sitting next to Stiles and handing him his burger. "Thanks", Stiles smiled at him. Isaac looked at him confused. "What?", Stiles asked him. "You smell like Derek", he said, catching Stiles off guard, he was glad that Isaac spoke silently. "He is living with me, Isaac", Stiles told him the truth, if not the whole. "Yeah, right", Isaac nodded, remembering, but he didn't seem completely convinced that this was all. Stiles let out a breath and then bit in his oh so awaited hamburger.

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.

Celestial Teahouse System [Slice Of Life LitRPG]
“I guess this is the end of my lifespan? How pathetic.” An infamous Immortal Emperor from Black Heaven Realm was at the end of his lifespan as he shut his old and wrinkled eyelids, awaiting his impending death with a hint of regret. However, when he was on his last breath– the serenity was disrupted by a simple-looking pebble that started glowing intensely out of nowhere as it entered his dantian and he lost consciousness. After what seemed like forever, he finally woke up and to his amazement– he discovered that his body had recovered to the state of his once youthful self with his cultivation only regressing by a little, while ending up in a foreign world filled with modern technology– Earth. He realized that a mysterious robotic voice had suddenly established its presence in his mind unknowingly, issuing him missions and rewards that would help and guide him in a certain direction. Enjoying his new life with a carefree attitude in a new world, running a teahouse with the help of the Celestial Teahouse System– Li Qu will slowly unravel the mysteries behind the pebble and the reason for his transmigration. Was he the only one to do so? Or was there a deeper meaning behind all of this? Will be releasing chapters daily until it gets knocked off the Rising Star list. From then on, it'll be Monday - Friday. Important Note: It's written in a style of a 'Chinese-translated-to-English' type of story. I get the confusion in the earlier chapters, however– NO harem. It's mostly a turn-off-your-brain chill type of story. Author's Note: As this is the first story that I've ever written, there will be occasional errors and as such, please forgive me in advance.
