Non-Creepy Mansion | Monday Morning

[robinonadderall]

When Stiles woke up Monday morning he was completely human (that he knew of). And almost completely back to normal except for two things. One, he was now dressed in a manner that Jackson and Isaac would have probably approved of (this version of Stiles ditched the plaid and wore more flattering stuff) and, two, he woke up with a nosebleed.

"Oh fuck," he said, holding his hand up to his nose. That couch would need to be cleaned, definitely.

[For those in the house if they're around. Work SP applies]

Comments

"I'm helping you!" They had the best fights, didn't they?

[robinonadderall]

"Derek," Stiles said, pushing his hands away. "I'm fine. I'm back to normal, it's just a nose bleed, you don't need to hover."

[justlurkinghere]

Yeah well. Derek still aggressively fixed Stiles' hair. As one does.

[robinonadderall]

That got Stiles to smile. "You grooming me?"

[justlurkinghere]

"It looked bad, so I fixed it," Derek corrected. Now shut up and take his pathological need to reassure himself you're back and fine.

[robinonadderall]

"Wow, such a sweet talker," he said. "My face is blood-free, right?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Wash your hands and you're good."

[robinonadderall]

"Okay good." Then he was clean enough to pull Derek into a hug. Because he hated when Derek got worried like that.

[justlurkinghere]

And who was Derek to deny a hug? He was just going to manfully soldier through it by hugging back. Clinging, really. It was just sad.

"Don't do that again."

[robinonadderall]

"What, hug you?" He knew what you meant, Derek.

[justlurkinghere]

"That too," Derek replied dryly.

[robinonadderall]

He pulled away from him after a few moments and looked Derek over. "How did the moon go?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I didn't go on a murderous rampage if that's your worry."

He might have creepily stayed directly under where the couch was. For reasons.

[robinonadderall]

"I didn't think you would," he said. "Did it feel any different?"

Scientific curiosity.

[justlurkinghere]

"I didn't try a full transformation," Derek replied with a shrug. "Everything else is just like going through puberty again."

Accurate description, but possibly not helpful here.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles pressed his lips together as he attempted to avoid the question about excessive horniness that he desperately wanted to ask. "Why didn't you try a full transformation?"

[justlurkinghere]

THE ANSWER WAS PROBABLY YES, STILES.

Derek looked uncomfortable for a moment before he moved to start the coffee. "I don't know what I'll end up like for one."

[robinonadderall]

"What do you mean?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"Laura and my mother could turn into wolves," Derek said, filling up the coffee pot with water. "Peter couldn't even though it's in his bloodline."

Meaning he didn't want to see if he was as twisted inside as Peter had been.

[robinonadderall]

"Well it reflects who you are inside, right?" Stiles said, remembering that whole thing from the kanima. "You're not like Peter."

[justlurkinghere]

"I've killed people."

GREAT BREAKFAST TIME CONVERSATION.

[robinonadderall]

"I know that." He had seen your pretty blue eyes, Derek. "Doesn't make you a bad person though. You didn't enjoy it."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm not sure it'll matter," Derek muttered. "I'll try it when there's less pull from the moon."

And force you to be there, Stiles.

[robinonadderall]

"You know I don't care what you look like when you shift, right?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I care."

Like the fragile flower he was.
