Jackson smiles and rubs Barry's back
Jackson: you're not going to be able to get rid of me baby. Ever, I love you too much
Derek nods
Derek: I'm certain Ian....he's my soulmate. I know I have a long history with Evan but the connection I have with Isaac is almost impossible to explain, even when he's not around I still smell him, I still crave him. I love him...I just wish I hadn't dragged Evan along all this time
Stiles nods as he looks at Eddie
Stiles: you're right....it's a horrible feeling. Especially when the heart and mind want something different. Even if Isaac doesn't end up with me, I just still have to have him in my life the same way you've always been there for me
Danny: I don't know, I just think you two make a really good pair. He's always cared about you and has always Been there to pick you up. Look at how many guys I had to be with to find the one
He chuckles and rubs Isaac's face
Danny: you look at Derek the same way I look at Eddie, the same way Jackson looks at Barry, the same way Ian looks at Theo. I know you love stiles with all your heart but....Derek is your soulmate I can literally smell it

Ian: This is a lot you know
Ian leans back against the couch and lets out a sigh
Ian: How come you've never tried to get together with Isaac before though?

Isaac bites his lip
Isaac: I know I wouldn't be here anymore if it wasn't for Derek, I owe him a lot. And I always feel so drawn to him, almost as if I'm only calm when I'm close to him

Jackson: Awww Barry don't cry, everything is gonna get so much better I promise
He holds onto Barry and kisses him on the head
Jackson: we can get a house, a dog...get married, start a family. Our options are unlimited
Derek: because my heart fell for so many others. Isaac was my right hand man, my beta. I made no decision without getting his opinion about it first. I fell for Stiles, for Riley, for Evan and so many others but it'll never be how deeply connected I feel to him. Everyone is gonna think I'm an asshole but I can't hold it back anymore...it'll kill me if I do
Stiles smiles
Stiles: I love you too, you know I'll always be there to fight by your side even if I don't have fangs and claws. I've still got my jeep and a really nice ass
He laughs
Danny: that's called true love Isaac. That's how it is with Eddie....I always feel paranoid and like something horrible is going to happen but it all goes away when I'm with Eddie. Maybe you should go talk to Derek, see how he feels

Derek laughs
Derek: yeah he is the hottest guy I've ever been with and really really nice. I just hope he won't hate me
Stiles smiles
Stiles: in more ways than just one. You got a lot bigger, I got braver...the others in the pack actually let us make the decisions sometimes. I'm just glad we survived this long and I'm so happy that I still have you in my life

Stiles grins
Stiles: really? Alright let's go
