Normal (Mostly) Mansion | Saturday Afternoon

[robinonadderall]

Stiles had come back to town to get Puppy Joe snuggles and to take blatant advantage of the bigger TV. Netflix had put one of his favorite childhood cartoons into rotation and it needed to be viewed on the big screen. So he decided to spend (Derek's) money on an overnight trip to Fandom and was now hogging the couch reading one of Derek's wedding magazines while the cartoon played in the background. He was also slowly eating everything that Derek and Mike had put in the fridge.

It was like Christmas for Puppy Joe since Stiles was a messy eater so he got to eat everything that was dropped on the floor.

"Do you really want me to answer that question?" It could possibly have a traumatizing answer.

"... Well, not now I don't." Because he was smart, you see. Very smart. "But still, dude, try to make your own sandwiches."

[robinonadderall]

"I'll keep that in mind for the future." He would not, the little shit. "What's with the papers?"

[newroutines]

"Business stuff," Mike replied with a stuff. "There's a shit ton of paperwork involved in getting one started."

[robinonadderall]

"Sucks it's not as easy as putting a sign in front of a building and saying you're open for business," he said. "The paperwork will at least be worth it in the end, right?"

[newroutines]

"I hope so."

He was kind of done being disappointed in himself in that area of life. (Oh, darling.)

He rubbed the back of his head. "Kinda what's carrying me through this process, you know? There's like this whole jungle of paper, but at least at the end of it I should be running my own show."

Figuratively speaking.

[robinonadderall]

"Do you need help with any of it?" he asked.

[newroutines]

"Uh, not right now, no." The paperwork stage was mostly a question of resilience. "But once I get going, yeah, I'll probably need some help. Yeah."

[robinonadderall]

"I'm not doing anything all summer," he offered. "So if you need anything let me know."

[newroutines]

"You'll regret saying that when you're carrying furniture around the island," Mike joked.

It was mostly joking. Really.

[robinonadderall]

"Doubt it, you have no idea how bored I've been," he said. "I should have gotten a job this summer."

[newroutines]

"Man, you kids today," Mike scoffed, this time definitely joking. "Those words would not have come out of my mouth when I was your age."

[robinonadderall]

"You haven't spent the last month and a half watching daytime TV and eating ramen," Stiles said. "It loses its charm."
