Totes Normal Mansion | Thursday Afternoon

[robinonadderall]

Stiles really hated the bed in the spare room. Which was sad because it was supposed to be his bed in his room. Ugh. Well he and Derek had a nice...two week streak where they didn't fight. Was that a record?

He attempted to talk yesterday and it failed spectacularly so as far as Stiles was concerned it was Derek's turn to make up. Whenever he felt like it. Stiles, however, would be holing himself up in his room, going over student loan stuff again.

This shit was so confusing.

[For the people in the house and visitors of course. Work SP applies]

Comments

"That doesn't even make sense," Derek grumbled. "It's terrifying, not attractive."

[robinonadderall]

"It is terrifying," he agreed. "But the fact that you'll drop everything and do whatever you can to help when somebody's in trouble is attractive."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek just let his shoulders slump. "You're always going to be doing this."

[robinonadderall]

"When you say it like that it sounds like you think I'm doing this on purpose," he said with a frown. "I try to be careful."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek looked away, thinking on their differences in ages more keenly than he had in a while. "Keep trying then," he replied, fight going out of him.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles crossed his arms over his chest. "You're not going to be happy until I say I'm never going back there again."

[justlurkinghere]

"No, I'm not going to be happy until you're safe," Derek replied, rubbing his forehead. "But it's not my decision, is it?"

[robinonadderall]

"I can't guarantee my safety anymore than you can guarantee yours," Stiles pointed out. "I want you to be happy, Derek, but I can't just ignore the things going on over there. Not while my dad, Scott and Lydia have to deal with it."

[justlurkinghere]

"Then we're not going to resolve this fight," Derek replied.

[robinonadderall]

"What are we supposed to do then?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't know," Derek admitted quietly. "Maybe we can't fix each other on this one."

[robinonadderall]

"So we just keep fighting about it?" 'Cause the other option was keeping away from each other and Stiles didn't think he could do that.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek tugged on Stiles' leg to pull him closer. "Probably."

[robinonadderall]

"Can we even agree to do that?" he asked, moving towards Derek. "Is that in the relationship handbook?"

[justlurkinghere]

"You got a handbook?"

[robinonadderall]

"Well, no," he said. "Don't think it'd really work for us anyway."

[justlurkinghere]

"Probably would say no to your boyfriend being a wolf sometimes," Derek replied, pushing himself up onto his feet.

[robinonadderall]

"It is kind of unfair since I can't do it in return," Stiles said. "But I guess there's the benefit of you being naked afterwards."

He had no idea how Derek could be comfortable just being naked during the majority of that fight.

[justlurkinghere]

It helped that he was jacked like whoa. And also the werewolf thing.

"You're an idiot and I have no idea why I'm into you," Derek muttered, hugging him. Because that totally emphasized his words. Really.

[robinonadderall]

"I have no idea either most of the time," he said, hugging Derek back. "Absolutely no clue."

[justlurkinghere]

Well, at least they didn't need to make a video talking about what they loved about each other. Because that would be ~awkward~.

"Maybe by the time you're able to legally drink we'll have this worked out."

Joking. Kinda.

[robinonadderall]

"Hopefully," he murmured. "Maybe we'll get a break from the drama by then."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek let one of his hands rest on the back of Stiles' neck, keeping him close. "We'll get better. We have to, right?"

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah," he said, nodding a little. "Of course we're going to get better."

They just had to go a few months without a disaster happening and then they'd be all boring like regular couples!

[justlurkinghere]

And then they could die peacefully in Florida. Or maybe Arizona. Arizona seemed pretty popular lately.

"Good. Because someone once told me I'm stubborn. Hate to see it disproven."
