Non-Creepy Mansion | Saturday Afternoon

[robinonadderall]

Stiles practically ran to the mansion after returning to Fandom. He hadn't seen Derek for a week, hadn't talked to him in two days, and he put together enough from his last texts to know that crap was going down in Beacon Hills. He knew logically that if Derek had been dealing with anything Stiles had already been through then he'd make it out okay. Still. He wanted to see him.

"Derek?" Stiles called when he stepped through the doorway. "Derek?"

When he got no answer and saw that the ground floor was empty, he started going up the stairs. "Okay, I'm going to your room now. I know I'm not supposed to be there but it's your fault for not answering me."

"Derek, are you even home?"

[For one! And definitely NFB. For reasons]

"Stiles--" This is why smelling emotions was awful! This right here! "I don't want to..."

Ugh, this was terrible.

"...I tried to use sex to get you in my pack."

Because someone's issues with that hadn't magically been resolved yet. God, Hannibal. What's taking so long?

[robinonadderall]

"Is that what you were doing?" he asked. "I thought you were just being creepy. 'Cause alphas can get really creepy."

[justlurkinghere]

"...Peter was creepy," Derek granted him slowly.

[robinonadderall]

"And so was Deucalion. Kali. The twins." He knew a lot of alphas, okay?

[justlurkinghere]

"That pack isn't exactly... normal." A beat. "Or liked."

Uuuuunderstatement.

[robinonadderall]

"They're not a pack anymore but I get what you mean," he said. "Still, that wasn't you. Not really. And you didn't push when I said I didn't want the bite."

Then again, neither had Peter.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek stared at him like he was trying to find a lie in there somewhere. "Are you okay?"

[robinonadderall]

"I'm worried about you," he said honestly. "But mostly I'm glad you're alive. I've been freaking out the last few days."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek reached over to grab his hand for a quick squeeze rather than respond to that using his words.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles smiled. "Can I see your eyes?"

[justlurkinghere]

That got him another suspicious look before Derek let them turn red.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles placed his hand along Derek's jaw under the pretense of holding Derek still so he could get a good look. "I like them. They're pretty."

Yeah he said pretty, what of it?

[justlurkinghere]

Well, it wasn't 'beautiful' but it still managed to get some of that tension in Derek's shoulders to lessen and his expression to go soft. He reached up to cover Stiles' hands with his own, eyes returning to normal.

And then he turned his head to kiss Stiles' hand in a move that was so saccharine sweet, it was giving people in a five mile radius diabetes.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles didn't really consider himself a romantic...until Derek did disgusting stuff like that. Ugh, they were terrible.

"You're gonna be a good alpha." Try to find the lie in that, Derek, 'cause you won't be able to find it.

[justlurkinghere]

At least they were getting this romance thing out of the way in private. No one needed to see this. No one.

Derek inhaled deeply, eyes switching back to red. "We need to not be in a room with a bed."

LOOK, BELIEVING IN HIM WAS APPARENTLY A TURN ON.

[robinonadderall]

"What..." Then he got it. Yeah, he definitely got it. "Oh. Oh yeah, okay. That'd be smart."

Though you're gonna have to excuse that fresh smell of arousal when he realized he had that kind of effect on Derek.

[justlurkinghere]

It probably wouldn't help if Derek mentioned that it happened a lot. Because someone ate like a freak.

"I trust you, I don't trust myself," Derek said, making his escape with that. Because he didn't want Stiles to get the wrong idea here.

[robinonadderall]

"Well that's hot," Stiles mumbled, following Derek out of the room. "Does anybody else here know you're an alpha now?"

He kind of doubted it since he ran here from the portal so he assumed he was the first person to see Derek.

[justlurkinghere]

"Jack. Barton." Oh, the annoyance was obvious on that one.

[robinonadderall]

Jack he could understand. Hell, even Stiles had brought him along for a Beacon Hills trip but-- "Mr. Barton? He was on vacation with everybody though."

[justlurkinghere]

"Kate called for back up."

[robinonadderall]

"What!?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek shrugged, having to force away fangs that felt wrong in his mouth still.

[robinonadderall]

"No, don't shrug at me, tell me what happened," Stiles said. "Did he hurt you?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek gave him a look that was searching. Because wasn't it just sad that he was used to people not caring about that? "No. He was just in the room with your friend's little girlfriend while Kate had her fun."
