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."

At least the dog had stopped barking too. And now was trying to use Derek's foot as a pillow. Because he was soooo exhausted.

Derek just nodded at that. Because using his words had not ended so well here.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles gave Derek an expectant look for a moment, as if to say 'well are you going to say something, you buttface?'.

But when that didn't happen he just looked down at the dog and huffed. That was cute.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek gave him a look right on back with eyebrows that said 'am I supposed to say something here?'

[robinonadderall]

After a couple more moments of silence, Stiles had about enough of trying to push through the awkwardness. "Are you going to be like this every time I attempt to go home?"

[justlurkinghere]

"No, I'll bake you a cake," Derek replied sarcastically.

[robinonadderall]

"So we're going to fight every time then?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek sighed, looking away. "No."

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah we are," he said with a frown. "You'll get grumpy and I'll say something and then we'll fight."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek's shoulders went tense as he reached down to pick up the dog so he could walk away.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles watched that happen before stomping off to the room that was supposed to be his. Oh and you better believe there was a door slam.

Because he was a teenage girl sometimes.

[justlurkinghere]

Of course there was a door slam. Soon there would be Taylor Swift music playing too!

God, you two.

Derek made a face, petting his dog for comfort before manning up to go follow. So they could talk like reasonable adults. Nah, jk. They're morons.

"Stiles."

[robinonadderall]

"What?" How dare you interrupt his brooding, Derek.

[justlurkinghere]

"You want to open the door?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles sighed and went over to open the door. "I thought it was stairs you had trouble with, not doors."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek's bitch face was on an epic level at that. "It's your room, you idiot," he snapped, staying in the hall for that reason.

[robinonadderall]

"It's your house." Guys, once again, it was Mike's house.

[justlurkinghere]

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.
