A Denny's On the Mainland | Thursday Evening

[robinonadderall]

It'd been awhile since he and Derek had been on a Denny's trip. Especially one that had no trauma attached to it. Sure, it had the risk of being slightly awkward if anybody misconstrued this as a date but it was a risk Stiles was willing to take. He was even willing to pay for his own meal just to further prove that this wasn't a date.

"Oh god there's a peanut butter cup pancake breakfast."

[For Derek! And I want that breakfast]

Well, Derek thought it was just normal, friendly banter. With hormones.

Shut up.

He considered it for a moment before sighing and sitting back in his seat. "Explains why I read those books for your class."

"You--" Stiles groaned, covering his face with his hands for a moment. "Oh my god I am such an idiot. I thought you had a crush on my teacher."

[justlurkinghere]

"She's... not my type." Oh god was she chipper and the ultimate genki girl.

"I know. I totally knew that in the back of my head but still." He was a paranoid idiot. "The other you had dated the lady who would have been my Beacon Hills English teacher over the summer and, I don't know, I thought you had a thing for chicks who read."

"I like to read." And impress people he was interested in with his book smarts.

[robinonadderall]

"I mean I do too." Obviously, he was one of those people who had to know everything about anything. "Though I haven't gotten to do it for fun lately. Just class and life saving research."

And soon he wouldn't even be able to do that. Thanks, nemeton!
