Sterek

"Don't be such a sourwolf."

- Stiles Stilinski

Sterek is a slash ship between Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale on MTV's show Teen Wolf.

They first meet in the pilot episode of Season 1, Wolf Moon, with their last meeting in Season 4 Episode 12, Smoke and Mirrors, until Season 6 Episode 11, Said The Spider to The Fly.

Sterek was first a relationship between two characters who didn't like each other, but as the show progressed, they got over their differences and started having a grudging respect for each other.

Episode 1: Wolf Moon
Stiles and Derek first meet in this episode. Stiles is wondering around with his best friend Scott in search of Scott's inhaler that he had lost the previous night. They end up finding Derek, who demands that they get out, as this was 'private property', before tossing Scott his inhaler and walking away. Stiles mentions that he knows Derek, as Derek was only a few years older than them, before he had left school.

Episode 2: Second Chance at First Line
Stiles and Scott go to Derek's house and discover that he has buried half of a dead girl's body beside the house. Stiles and Scott end up getting Derek arrested. While Derek sits in the sheriff's car, Stiles gets in and starts off by saying he isn't afraid of Derek...ok. Maybe he is. They end up having a very tense conversation, before Stiles is pulled out of the car by the Sheriff, leaving Derek behind in the car.

Season 4
Erica takes Stiles to the school pool.

Episode 1: Creatures of the Night
While the pack is writing their names on the library bookshelves, as per senior tradition, Stiles see's the initials DH and smiles to himself before writing his own.
