Not-So-Creepy Mansion | Friday Evening

[robinonadderall]

Stiles had arranged for a portal to take him back to Fandom even before the clusterfuck that was last night went down and he was grateful for it this evening (it was a different evening, right? Stupid timelines) seeing as he had sort of felt like a zombie the last few hours. He was still sore as hell from getting the crap kicked out of him so the walk from the causeway into town was slow. He wasn't really thinking about where he was going but wasn't really surpised when he found himself at Derek and Mike's front door.

He let himself in (he hoped by now Mike realized B&E was a talent of his) and shuffled towards Derek's room, only taking a second to marvel at the fact that Derek actually had a bed now before kicking off his shoes and shrugging off his (Derek's, really) jacket before crawling under the covers.

Right now he was moping, but he was hoping it'd turn to sleep soon. Derek could just deal.

[For the guy whose bed it is]

"You're only with me for it for my personality, right," Derek said, leaning in closer than strictly necessary.

[robinonadderall]

"I already told you before that you were a two," Stiles said, trying to resist the urge to move away. 'Cause that would be losing. "I'm also in it for your impressive ability to be a complete creeper."

See right now for an example.

[justlurkinghere]

Oh, Stiles was committing to it. "I'm just being a good boyfriend," Derek shot back, pulling away again.

[robinonadderall]

"That's so sweet, dear," Stiles said sarcastically. "What did I do in life to deserve someone as amazing as you?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Killed someone," Derek replied with a totally romantic smile. "Sweetheart."

[robinonadderall]

"You wish you were that much of a punishment for me," he said. "And, no, that's not an invitation to try to be more of a jerk."

[justlurkinghere]

Sure, make Derek roll his eyes. "Could be worse." SOMEHOW.

[robinonadderall]

"Oh, believe me, I know it can." He already had enough weird text messages from Peter to be well aware of that. "You could be fake dating Scott."

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't see that happening." Because of reasons.

[robinonadderall]

"Well, yeah, Scott's butt crazy in love with someone else," Stiles said. "And I'm fairly sure he thinks we're actually dating even though I told him we were fake dating."

Oh, Scott. You innocent little lamb.

[justlurkinghere]

"...he's not that smart." FYI.

[robinonadderall]

"Well, duh, why do you think I kept going back home every other week for the last three months?" he asked. "Scott can't handle anything himself, he's like the worst werewolf ever."

EXCEPT WHEN HE HAD A MASTER PLAN.

[justlurkinghere]

"Trying to look shocked here." And failing.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles lifted his eyebrows, deciding to keep this moment in mind if Derek went the way of his counterpart and became desperate to have Scott join his pack.

"He does have his good qualities that make up for his lack of brains," Stiles admitted. "I'm just too pissed at him right now to really think of any specific one."

[justlurkinghere]

HE DIDN'T NEED ANYONE. SHUT UP.

"Argents."

[robinonadderall]

"...are generally assholes?" Stiles finished. Sorry, Allison and Allison's sexy, sexy dad.

[justlurkinghere]

DAMN YOU, DILF CHRIS.

"Pretty much." For so many reasons. "They're not to be trusted."

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah, that lesson got punched into me pretty hard," Stiles said, lightly tracing the bruise on his cheek. "But things with them are complicated...in a way I can't really explain right now. I know you've got your absolutely valid reasons for hating them, but I can't cut off ties completely."

Mostly because it was impossible to hate Allison. Even after she went on a psycho rage bender.

[justlurkinghere]

She did have a Disney Princess thing going for her...

"How much do you know." Derek, get your frown on.

[robinonadderall]

"I know one of them was responsible for what happened to your family." Was this appropriate Denny's conversation?

[justlurkinghere]

Well, Derek was involved. So.

Derek gave him a look. A very serious look. For someone who had no bacon, so serious. "How did you know it?" Whoa. Whoa. A real question.

[robinonadderall]

"I'm a slight stalker in my own right and I looked up police reports of the fire after we met," Stiles said. "Possible arson added to the fact that you don't really hide your hatred for the Argents kind of gave it away."

And there was other stuff too, but he wasn't getting into that.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek shrugged at that like he didnt care. "It's not like the cops looked too much into it once they decided it'd been an accident. Why would anyone else bother?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles decided to ignore that little jab against the police considering his dad would eventually prove Derek wrong and look back into the case. "I'm not the type to let things go, even if everyone else has given up. It's why people think I'm so annoying."

[justlurkinghere]

And Derek would rather bury his sister in the backyard than report anything to the police. What an odd couple!

Yeah, that was pretty terrible.

"One of the reasons, sure."
