Kind of Trashed Mansion | Thursday

[robinonadderall]

After getting the hell scared out of him by Kate last night Stiles risked the glaring of his life to go check in on Derek at his house. At least he told himself it was just to check in. It certainly had nothing to do with having violent Argent flashbacks from last month and wanting to be somewhere safe. Nope. Not at all.

Even the safety aspect of this was iffy because you had to have been blind not to notice the bullet holes around the place. Stiles managed to coax Puppy Joe out from under the couch and took him up to Derek's room for much needed cuddling. Which eventually turned into sleeping. 'Cause there was something about Derek's bed that made him pass out for some reason.

And Stiles was still there the next day. Comfort zone reasons aside, it was the best place to wait for Derek. If he ever came back.

[Open for the occupants of said house, yes. And calls too!]

This was possibly the most awkward conversation ever. Possibly.

"It's from IKEA."

[newroutines]

"That doesn't actually nullify my knowledge of re-upholstering shit."

He wasn't going to buy another couch just because this one had bullet holes, okay.

[justlurkinghere]

"We could just get a slip cover." SERIOUSLY, GUYS.

And their special conversation was highlighted by the sudden laugh from upstairs.

Look, Laura enjoyed other people dealing with Derek's social awkwardness.

[newroutines]

Acting like an awkward old married couple could count as a coping mechanism, right?

Mike didn't really ignore the laugh, as such. But it also didn't distract him from the issue at hand. (Mostly because he was still trying to come to terms with Laura even being here.) "No way> are we getting a slip cover."

[justlurkinghere]

Hey, Derek had to deal with it too. And the fact that she was probably in his bedroom. Talking to Stiles. Ugh.

"What do you have against slip covers?"

[newroutines]

"Just the fact that it's basically making your couch wear clothes."

Yes.

[justlurkinghere]

"..." Mike. What.

[newroutines]

"It looks stupid!"

[justlurkinghere]

"It's a couch. You sit on it."

[newroutines]

"Yeah, and window treatments are just stuff you put around the windows for no good reason," Mike pointed out, "and you still didn't let me get orange ones."

[justlurkinghere]

"Because orange is ugly." OH, HE WENT THERE.

Wasn't this so much easier than talking about your emotions?

[newroutines]

Lots!

Plus it might amuse Laura. She was dead, she deserved to be amused.

"So are slip covers!"
