Lobby at Stiles' Dorm | Wednesday Afternoon

[robinonadderall]

Stiles' sophomore year was trucking along at a fast pace but he was still feeling the beginnings of some student fatigue. He was tired of having to read textbooks and writing essays. The fact that he knew he had two more years of this plus grad school didn't help anything. His mopey texts to Derek had progressively gotten mopier to the point where Derek actually agreed to interrupt Stiles' studying and visit in the middle of the week.

His roommate was upstairs which was why Stiles was waiting in the lobby, impatiently keeping an eye on the door for Derek.

[For the guy!]

"And yet we've been banned from at least three hotels in this city."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek sighed like the drama queen he was. "I could just rent an apartment." And make the neighbors hate him.

[robinonadderall]

"You'd rent an apartment you'd only use like once a month?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

Okay, point. He wasn't that needlessly rich.

"...maybe?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles leaned in to kiss Derek's cheek. "You're cute."

[justlurkinghere]

"I could invest in property. I already manage an apartment complex."

Honestly, he just sat in the office sometimes and collected rent.

[robinonadderall]

"Before you buy an apartment building in College Park let's just try to not get thrown out of every hotel in town first." Less paperwork that way.

[justlurkinghere]

He was going to buy something anyway. Because he was rich, Stiles.

"I can try."

Maybe they wouldn't get kicked out this time, but the future was wide open.

[robinonadderall]

"For the record I am very ashamed of this car."

[justlurkinghere]

"And you're still marrying me?"

[robinonadderall]

"Second guessing that decision," he joked.

[justlurkinghere]

"Liar," Derek replied, pressing him against the minivan for a kiss that was probably too sweet for anyone nearby.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles happily kissed him back, not really caring about anybody nearby getting diabetes. He was already feeling more relaxed and less worried about school. It was nice.

[justlurkinghere]

God help anyone watching them. God help them.

Derek smiled into the kiss as Stiles began to smell less anxious. "Better get used to the idea of a minivan," he teased.

[robinonadderall]

He smiled. "You are not buying a minivan."

[justlurkinghere]

HE WAS BUYING THAT MINIVAN, STILES.

"Not even when we have kids?"

[robinonadderall]

"At least buy an SUV," he said. "They're less embarrassing."

[justlurkinghere]

"Maybe one of those electric ones?" Derek was just going to make things so suburban soccer mom no matter what you said, Stiles.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles sighed. "Fine. I'll agree to that."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek kissed him again. "Get in the minivan. I'm buying you pancakes."

[robinonadderall]

"How romantic," he teased, playfully shoving Derek away so he could get in the minivan.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek stumbled back, hands on his chest like he was wounded. "It's our thing," he replied, heading around for the driver's seat. "And I get some bacon."

[robinonadderall]

"We'll see." Let's be real, Stiles was grateful enough that Derek came here to distract him that he would let the bacon thing slide.

[justlurkinghere]

"We can share the bacon." Look, he was compromising!

[robinonadderall]

"That'd be a good idea," he said. "Though ordering a double order of bacon and each of us eating half doesn't count as sharing."
