Scerek

“*Your best ally has always been anger, Derek, but what you lack most is a heart. That's why you've always known that you need Scott more than anyone.*”
―Peter Hale to his nephew about his friendship with Scott McCall.

**Scerek** is the friendship pairing between Scott McCall and Derek Hale from *Teen Wolf*.

## History

Peter himself has acknowledged that while Derek relies on anger as his anchor, Scott also serves as this, as he relies on him more than anyone else, because of the boy's heart.

Though they disliked each other at first, Derek and Scott now have a big-brother/little-brother style relationship, echoing back to Derek's first comment to Scott about them being Werewolf brothers in the pilot episode.

## Relationship

### Season 2

Scott and Derek were reunited in "Omega," when he saw him chasing an omega werewolf, who he accidentally led in a hunter's trap. He then took Scott to hide behind a tre. Even though the younger werewolf convincing Derek to save him, the Alpha refused as he restrained Scott to prevent him from being killed. However, Derek also wanted to show Scott the ruthlessness of the Argents as Gerard murdered and he forced Scott to watch. Derek told the  beta werewolf, to see what the monsters had done and why they needed each other.

Derek claims to Scott that everything he had done was to protect him.

After Scott learns that Derek turned his classmates Erica and Vernon Boyd, he went to confront Boyd at the skating rink. Scott knew it was wrong but Derek didn't care less. After Scott engaged Derek in battle, Derek mentally and physically abused him to make his point and told him to join the pack or be killed by the hunters.

### Season 3

In "Frayed", Scott started blaming himself for Derek's apparent death during their confrontation with the Alpha Pack. Because of the guilt, Scott was unable to heal faster. However, in "Motel California," Scott learns that Derek is alive but the Alpha Pack is hunting him because he apparently killed one of their own, Ennis.
