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.

"I'm in complete agreement," he said with a nod. "It'll get easier."

Possibly after relieving some, ahem, tension between the two of them.

[justlurkinghere]

There is that, yes. All that tension.

Probably didn't help with the touching happening. "It will," Derek agreed. He nodded, forcing himself to take a step back before more of that salacious hugging could happen. "It doesn't stay the same your whole life anyway."

[robinonadderall]

"Thank god," he said. "Scott would be in real trouble if that was the case."

[justlurkinghere]

"Pretty sure my little sister's first anchor was Elmo," Derek said. Because deal with it, Stiles.

[robinonadderall]

That drew a surprised laugh out of Stiles. "That's terrible."

[justlurkinghere]

"Mine might have been a Power Ranger," Derek added, unable to keep himself from smiling at that and leaning closer.

[robinonadderall]

"That's even worse! Please tell me it was at least a cool Power Ranger." Stiles, of course, did not back away any and didn't do anything to release his grip on Derek's shirt. Because he lived to encourage any and all rule breaking.

His immediate needs outranked any awkwardness later.

[justlurkinghere]

Damn it, Stiles! This was all clearly your fault!

"And which one was the cool one?" Derek asked, propping himself up with a hand on the counter top so at least his feet weren't near Stiles. Which made a complete difference.

Can you guys have a serious conversation without flirting? Can you?

[robinonadderall]

No, no they could not.

"Well definitely not the blue one," he said. "He was a big nerd."

[justlurkinghere]

Okay, so long as this is acknowledged. "The red one then?"

[robinonadderall]

"That would be an acceptable choice," Stiles said, tugging on Derek's shirt a little. "Still a big dork for having a Power Ranger for an anchor though."

"Mine would probably be Reese's Cups."

[justlurkinghere]

Well, if he was being tugged forward, of course Derek was going to keep leaning in. "Remind me why I'm interested in you again."

[robinonadderall]

"Probably some combination of my good looks and intellect," he said jokingly. "And the fact I don't take any of your crap."

[justlurkinghere]

"Probably the latter," Derek admitted. "But the rest doesn't hurt."

[robinonadderall]

"I'm gonna take that as a sign to keep fighting you on everything," Stiles said. "Just so you don't lose interest in me."

Yeah that was the reason, sure.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek's face softened at that. "So, if we're getting along, I should worry?"

[robinonadderall]

"I tend to worry if there's anything going on in my life that doesn't have some sort of conflict," he said. "It's usually calm before the storm."

[justlurkinghere]

"We've got another month for more things to happen," Derek replied. "I'll try to do something to make you mad in the meantime."

[robinonadderall]

"You don't really have to try," Stiles replied. "We both have a natural talent for pissing each other off."

[justlurkinghere]

"...true." Maybe being able to do the do would fix that!

Ahahahahahahaha no. They'd just end up fighting more. As foreplay.
