Mansion of Tiredness | Sunday Morning

[robinonadderall]

After coming to in the woods yesterday Stiles made his way to the mansion, ignoring Derek's annoyed growls as he flopped down on the bed. He was too tired to deal with wolfy disapproval. The day was saved and he was fine, okay? No disapproval needed.

Now he was sound asleep, arm around what he thought was a cuddly wolf buddy. He was wrong. So, so wrong.

[For Derek first and then anybody else that lives there/wants to stop by after he's awake]

Derek looked very confused at the preparing part, but nodded obligingly.

"Better than dying," Derek said, kissing him quickly on the cheek like the terrible person he was. Then pushed himself away to get Stiles' coffee prepared.

[robinonadderall]

"Now who's cheating?" Stiles said with amusement. "I'll have you know that I was not in danger at all and your growling last night was completely uncalled for."

[justlurkinghere]

"You sat on my tail," Derek sniffed, shoving the coffee cup at Stiles.

[robinonadderall]

"I did not!" Stiles said, accepting the coffee gratefully. "You're a dirty liar."

[justlurkinghere]

"Prove it."

This was an appropriate follow up to emotional revelations.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles sighed. "You know that I can't. But I have the knowledge of your history of flying off the handle when I try to help anybody do anything that might be remotely dangerous."

[justlurkinghere]

"When you go alone," Derek muttered, having his own coffee. Oh, how he'd missed it.

[robinonadderall]

"I've hardly ever done a dangerous thing alone," he said. "Or did you mean without you?"

[justlurkinghere]

Maybe. Shut up.

It was also disturbingly possessive. So, there was that.

"You died the last time."

[robinonadderall]

"That was my choice," he said. "It would have happened whether you were there or not."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek turned away, shrugging as he drank his coffee with singleminded devotion.

[robinonadderall]

"Sorry," he said. "I can't guarantee that you'll be there every time something like that comes up. It's not like you can make me the same promise."

[justlurkinghere]

"You're--" More important. "--it doesn't matter."

[robinonadderall]

"Fine, it doesn't matter," he said, waving his hand. "We could be married with kids and we'd still be having this fight."

[justlurkinghere]

And it was just rude to bring that up. Because of Derek's inclination toward being a sappy romantic.

Derek sighed again, bumping Stiles' knee with his hip. Surly, surly hip-check.

[robinonadderall]

That at least got Stiles to smile a little. "I missed you being human-shaped the past week. Though you were fun to cuddle as a wolf."

[justlurkinghere]

"I missed coffee." And being able to talk. Shocking, right?

[robinonadderall]

"Well I wasn't about to give something wolf-shaped coffee," he said. "But I made it up to you with all that playing we did in the backyard with Puppy Joe."

[justlurkinghere]

"Delete that video."

Yeah, like he hadn't already sent it to everyone he knew and posted it on Facebook.

[robinonadderall]

"It's not like anybody knows it's you!"

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't want a video of Puppy Joe playing king of the mountain on top of my head," Derek grumbled.

Even if it had been adorable.

[robinonadderall]

"Well I do," he said. "And I've got one of you two randomly rolling around in dirt."

He didn't understand canine behavior sometimes.

[justlurkinghere]

"My back itched." That was a damn, dirty lie.

He also did that rolling thing all over Stiles' clothing. But some of that had been as a human, so...

[robinonadderall]

"Uh huh, sure it was," he said. "My dad thought it was adorable."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek groaned at that. "I hate you."

Liiiiiie.
