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 dog doesn't know how to walk." Bickering was a safe space of 'nothing weird happened lalala can't hear you!'

[robinonadderall]

"Good thing he has me to carry him around then," Stiles said before giving Puppy Joe a nuzzle. Or full on putting his entire face into his fur and rubbing against it, rather.

Stiles, just buy a baby backpack. It'll save you a lot of time in the long run.

Derek rolled his eyes. "Stop using the dog as a napkin."

[robinonadderall]

"I'm not using him as a napkin, I'm being affectionate. This is how I show affection." By unconsciously scent marking things, yes.

[justlurkinghere]

"Because you're weird." STOP SCENT MARKING THE DOG.

[robinonadderall]

"No, weird is when I do it to Scott," Stiles said, grabbing orange juice out of the fridge before kicking the door shut with his foot. "Which usually only happens when I've been drinking."

[justlurkinghere]

There was just so much about that Derek hadn't needed to know. So, so much.

Derek rolled his eyes again before shoving a glass at him.

[robinonadderall]

"I was going to drink straight from the carton, but if you insist," he said, putting down the dog. Pouring orange juice one handed wouldn't have ended well. "Or did you want some?"

[justlurkinghere]

"You could at least pretend to have manners." Because Derek totally had those.

[robinonadderall]

"Says the guy who eats steak with his bare hands," Stiles said. "You're in no place to lecture me."

[justlurkinghere]

"It was a weird week," Derek replied defensively.

[robinonadderall]

"You were eating meat with your hands because it was a weird week?" he asked. "Oooookay."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek gave him a bland look. Because don't make him bring up what you were doing, Stiles. Don't make him.

[robinonadderall]

He was doing nothing!

"What have you been doing the last few days?" It had been weird not seeing Derek for a few days. And it was weird that was weird.

[justlurkinghere]

They had weird lives!

"Went camping with Jack." To reaffirm masculinity.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles wrinkled up his nose a little at that. "Why would you go camping?"

[justlurkinghere]

Werewolf reasons. God!

"Why not? Other than the bug spray and the smoke and the sleeping on a rock?

[robinonadderall]

"Because it's uncomfortable and sweaty and there's bugs," Stiles said. "I was so happy when I got kicked out of cub scouts because it meant no more camping."

[justlurkinghere]

"You got kicked out of Cub Scouts?"

[robinonadderall]

"I was politely asked to leave," he said. "But, yes, I was. I drove the Scoutmasters crazy or something like that."

[justlurkinghere]

"Why am I not surprised?"

[robinonadderall]

"Oh shut up," Stiles said. "I didn't even want to do it, I think my dad just needed a babysitter type thing for me so I wouldn't hang out at the police station or at the McCall's all the time."

[justlurkinghere]

"No relatives to watch you?" Look, he came from a large family. Originally.

[robinonadderall]

"Uh, no," he said. "Just me and my dad after my mom died."

[justlurkinghere]

"Laura was always the babysitter," Derek replied with a shrug. He turned away to grab his own glass because distractions were good. "Until she got her license and then I got stuck doing it."
