A Car Somewhere In The South | Friday Evening

[robinonadderall]

Visiting college campuses had seemed like a good idea at first. Bringing Derek along for the ride seemed like an even better one. However Stiles was greatly beginning to regret both decisions after a few hours in a car that was not his beloved jeep and after realizing that the South was really boring. Really, really boring.

"We should have just taken a portal."

[For the road trip buddy!]

Hey. The rental car was way safer than the jeep, okay? Way safer. In fact, it was a mom car. That's how safe it was.

"Shouldn't you be researching the school?"

[robinonadderall]

It was an embarrassing car. So very embarrassing.

"I've done research. I researched before deciding to drive eight hundred hours to Florida."

[justlurkinghere]

Safe car. The safety rating was phenomenal.

"Play some phone game then." On your fancy phone.

[robinonadderall]

"I already did." And he got bored of it. Therefore you must entertain him now.

[justlurkinghere]

"Try the radio." Yeah, who didn't want to listen to some country music?

[robinonadderall]

"I don't want to." Now he's just being stubborn. "I'm booooooooored."

[justlurkinghere]

"Are you five?" Derek asked, setting cruise control because someone was distracting the driver.

[robinonadderall]

Oh god, Derek, you were such a mom driver.

"If I were five I'd be saying I was bored like five hours ago," he said. "And I probably would have taken off my seat belt and been crawling around."

Poor Mama and Papa Stilinski.

[justlurkinghere]

God help him. "...how are you still alive?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles shrugged. "Luck?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek sighed. "How did you get the jeep across the country anyway?"

[robinonadderall]

"I drove it." The 'duh' was implied. "Roscoe is not the death trap you think he is."

[justlurkinghere]

"It's an accident waiting to decapitate you," Derek shot back, but it was snarky amusement this time.

[robinonadderall]

"I'll have you know the last time I got into an accident it was the darach's fault, not my baby's. And I didn't even end up with a concussion." At least he didn't think he had. Though it would explain a lot.

"I will not sit here and listen to you slander my jeep while you're driving a soccer mom car."

[justlurkinghere]

Excuse Derek while he endangered the structural integrity of that steering wheel as he didn't respond to the car accident thing. Because he didn't care about Stiles' safety.

Did not care at all.

No caring.

"It's a good car," he ground out.

[robinonadderall]

"I feel like you should have a Kids Bop CD in here," Stiles said, looking down at Derek's hands. Well, at least he hadn't given him a lecture about life endangerment. That was progress.

[justlurkinghere]

Because Derek didn't care what you did, Stiles! Did not care!

"I thought you had one."

[robinonadderall]

"Hilarious," Stiles drawled, shifting a little in his seat. Look, even with Adderall, long trips in the car sucked for him, okay? "I'm still bored."

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't care." He was so friendly when he was repressing.

[robinonadderall]

"Sure you do, you're trapped in this car with me," Stiles said, putting his head against the window. "Tell me a story or something, maybe it'll make me fall asleep."

The odds of that happening were very slim.

[justlurkinghere]

"There once was a very annoying high schooler..."

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah? What was his or her name?" Stiles asked. "Their full first name, not any nicknames he or she might have had."

Go ahead, Derek. Pronounce that Polish mess.

[justlurkinghere]

"With a dumb name," Derek continued, heedless. "Who was also dumb when it came to poking at angry werewolves."

It was a mystery where this story was going.

[robinonadderall]

"Uh huh." Well this was keeping him entertained. "Please go on."

[justlurkinghere]

"I hate you," Derek said with a greatly put upon sigh.

See, this is when he was glad Stiles couldn't tell a lie from the truth.
