Totes Not Creepy Mansion | Tuesday Afternoon

"What makes you think I want to come home any time soon?"

Because Stiles really didn't, no matter how much Scott wanted it to happen. Or needed it to happen in this case, because apparently trying to teach a girl who had spent her formative years as a coyote to be more human was difficult, who knew?

"I know," Scott said. "But this is important. Teaching her how to control her abilities I can do. Teaching her that it's not okay to kill small woodland animals and eating them raw? I'm having a tougher time with."

"Ew." Stiles wrinkled up his nose at the thought even though Scott couldn't see his disgust over the phone. "What makes you think she'd listen to me?"

"She trusts you for some reason, dude." Scott said. "I think that time at Eichen House together helped."

"Right, that whole day and a half we spent together," Stiles said, rolling his eyes. Though he did feel bad Malia was having difficulty with everything. It was their fault she was human again. "Look, okay, I'll figure something out. But I can't spend my whole summer making trips to Beacon Hills all the time. Shit's expensive."

And he was worried enough about his financial situation at the moment.

"I get it, do what you can," Scott said. "Malia will really appreciate it. Deep down."

Because, yeah, she probably wouldn't show that she was thankful.

"Sure she will," Stiles said. "I'll talk to you later, Scott."

Poor, poor Mike. Screaming matches generally followed by... screaming orgasms.

"That doesn't mean I can just--is that how you think of our relationship?"

[robinonadderall]

"No," he admitted. "Though I don't think we'll never not fight."

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't like that you're going back to that hell hole of a town," Derek said, forcing all those words out. "I'm not going to be happy about it. But I wouldn't ever try to make you--not--not--"

Aww, he lost his momentum.

But he made up for it with a surly little frown and hand wave.

[robinonadderall]

"I know," he said, shoulders slumping. He got what Derek was trying to say. "I know you wouldn't."

[justlurkinghere]

Well good. Because Derek wasn't able to get it out without feeling even creepier than normal.

He shuffled from foot to foot awkwardly at that, looking down. "Is this even normal?"

Since Derek's bar for relationships was... very, very low. Congrats on not killing Cora, Stiles. You passed that bar easily.

[robinonadderall]

"I don't know, I've never been in a relationship before," he said. "But I don't really care if its normal or not."

[justlurkinghere]

"You're an idiot," Derek replied. But there was fond exasperation there.

[robinonadderall]

"Do you care?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"About you being an idiot? Obviously not." NICE ONE, DEREK.

[robinonadderall]

"You know what I mean," he said, rolling his eyes.

[justlurkinghere]

"I care that this might be screwing you up," Derek admitted. Because, let's be real, Derek was far from ever being normal about these things again.

We mean. It's not like he'll just lose all his money, have to become some kind of mercenary for hire, hunt down dangerous creatures while finding love with an amoral druid with a heart of gold who will change her ways for his puppy eyes.

That'd be silly.

[robinonadderall]

"You think this is the thing that's screwing me up?" he asked. "Out of everything in my life you think this is the problem?"

[justlurkinghere]

"It's a problem." God, Stiles.

[robinonadderall]

"Every couple has problems, Derek," Stiles said. "Granted, most of them don't involve possession and things like that but still."

[justlurkinghere]

"Yeah, they don't exactly have the right bouquet for 'I'm sorry I almost mauled you at the full moon'," Derek added dryly. Then offered out his hand. Because he was an overly romantic idiot.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles took Derek's hand and tugged him closer. "You're not screwing me up."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm sorry I was an asshole," Derek muttered, moving into Stiles' space easily.

[robinonadderall]

"You're worried," Stiles said. "I get it."

[justlurkinghere]

To that, Derek responded with a kiss. As is their way.

[robinonadderall]

Yep, a ridiculous amount of fighting followed by fooling around. It was the key to a totally healthy relationship, really.

Stiles didn't really much care if it was healthy or not so long as he got to kiss Derek.

[justlurkinghere]

"Expect phone calls when you go," Derek added, pulling Stiles in close before kissing him again.

At least the calls were still better than Derek stalking from a distance. Which would happen at college.

Sorry not sorry.

[robinonadderall]

"I'm going to be gone for a day at a time maximum," Stiles said between kisses. "Twenty-four hours."

[justlurkinghere]

"Texts," Derek amended like the creeper he was. "You could always howl for me."

[robinonadderall]

Stiles smiled and looped his arms around Derek's neck. "I'd be pretty impressed if you could hear me howl from across the country in another universe."

[justlurkinghere]

"Ancient werewolf secret," Derek assured him seriously. "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."

Which would be a real downer. But what wasn't a downer was Derek hooking his hands under Stiles' thighs to pull him up.
