Could Be Creepy If Someone Decorated For Halloween Mansion | Tuesday Afternoon

[robinonadderall]

As far as Stiles was concerned the weekend had went pretty well. He got to see his father was in one piece with his own eyes and that, no, he didn't dream about the fact that his dad was slowly but surely getting used to this whole supernatural thing. So yeah, nothing traumatizing for him.

Which would be why he was over at the house, raiding the fridge. Puppy Joe was tucked under one arm because Stiles couldn't let him walk anywhere on his own. If anyone asked the dog was helping him decide what to eat.

[For the people that live there and anybody else that wants to stop by, yep]

Comments

That was a different kind of nervous!

"Well, I should be."

[robinonadderall]

"Never going to happen," Stiles said, laughing a little. "Those days went out the window after seeing you as a little kid."

[justlurkinghere]

"Maybe next time you'll be a kid." No, Derek. The humiliation was forever yours.

[robinonadderall]

"What good would that do?" he asked. "You're already not afraid of me."

[justlurkinghere]

"Maybe I'll get more embarrassing stories." Aren't you sad you can't tell if he's lying, Stiles?

[robinonadderall]

"Who are you getting so-called embarrassing stories from now?" Stiles asked. "Jackson? Is it Jackson? A lot of kids ate paste in elementary school, don't listen to him."

[justlurkinghere]

"Your dad did stop by this weekend." And yes, this is what Derek was going to let you think happened. "But I'll make sure to ask Jackson too."

[robinonadderall]

"You talked to my dad?" That probably wasn't good. "Why?"

[justlurkinghere]

"He showed up here."

IT WAS YOUR FAULT, STILES.

"I thought you knew."

[robinonadderall]

"No I didn't know," he said. "What did he say?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Made sure you're safe." That was... accurate.

[robinonadderall]

"That's...wait, why would he go to you about that?" he asked. "I don't need to be watched over."

Great job, Derek, now the Sheriff would have to sit through a lecture on how Stiles could take care of himself.

[justlurkinghere]

At least the Sheriff could point out all the hospital trips. And stare Stiles into silence.

Derek wished he could still do that.

"He's your dad."

[robinonadderall]

"Doesn't matter," Stiles said with a wave of his hand. "The fact he went to you is weird."

[justlurkinghere]

"Why is it weird?"

[robinonadderall]

"It just is." Because that would indicate that his dad might have an idea of what Derek meant to him and Stiles didn't want to deal with that right now. "What did you say to him anyway?"

[justlurkinghere]

"That it's safer here than Beacon Hills," Derek muttered. Because everyone loved a misunderstanding that could easily be fixed should people talk to each other.

Why can't you tru-uh-uh-ust hiiiiiiim. Sobbing in narrative was now a thing.

[robinonadderall]

"Well that's true," Stiles said. "Sorry you had to deal with him. Or if he threatened to shoot you. He doesn't mean that. Most of the time."

[justlurkinghere]

"Why would he threaten to shoot me?" OH, HE KNEW. BUT YOU MUSTN'T KNOW.

[robinonadderall]

"I have no idea." Oh he had an idea. "It's just a turn of phrase. That's used by cops a lot."

Sure, let's go with that.

[justlurkinghere]

Cops. Angry dads.

Though, on the plus side, the odds of Scott making him bite the Sheriff were slim?

"Sure."

[robinonadderall]

This suddenly took a turn for the awkward. "I, uh, should go write a book report."

What was he going to do when he couldn't Lit class himself out of awkward situations?

[justlurkinghere]

He was going to say he was giving the dog a bath. In the dorms.

"Is it on Treasure Island?"

[robinonadderall]

"That was last week," he said. "We're on Little Women now."

And also there was no book report.

"Wait, why do you know that?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Your teacher brought it by on Wednesday." It had been confusing.

Also, English Teachers.
