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!]

"My hero," Derek replied, digging out his wallet to leave a generous tip for the waitress. Without getting her number at all.

Stiles got up from his chair to give Derek a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for buying lunch."

[justlurkinghere]

"I got bacon," Derek reminded him, tugging him in for a better kiss than that. But he was at least mindful of being in public.

Ish.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles smiled into the kiss, ignoring any stares they might be getting. "We might want to get to the hotel before we get arrested for public indecency."

[justlurkinghere]

"I wouldn't do that." A beat. "At your college."

That was the stipulation.

[robinonadderall]

"But anywhere else is fair game?" he asked, reaching for Derek's hand to lead him out.

[justlurkinghere]

"...maybe," Derek replied, following obediently.

He was terrible.

[robinonadderall]

"Well as long as I'm protected at school," he joked. "Have to think about my education."

[justlurkinghere]

"I can't keep you from graduating and making me a kept man," Derek replied seriously. Oh so seriously as he unlocked the sexy minivan.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles sighed at the minivan. Sighed so hard. "Still can't believe you rented this thing."

[justlurkinghere]

"It had good safety ratings."

For the werewolf who could heal from anything short of bisection.

[robinonadderall]

"You planning to shuffle kids to soccer practice?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek sighed. "Shut up. We're going back to the hotel and we're cuddling until you're hungry again."

[robinonadderall]

He grinned. "And what are we doing when I'm hungry again?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Ordering food." Which was probably pizza. "Unless you want to do something else then," Derek replied, failing to keep from grinning as he looked at Stiles out of the corner of his eye.

[robinonadderall]

He smiled and shrugged. "Maybe. Of course I might need to be tired out before cuddling."

[justlurkinghere]

"I can manage that." And check that out, he may have picked this hotel based on closeness to a breakfast place. And it hadn't banned him. That too.

[robinonadderall]

"You ever worried that the hotels you've been banned from will call the other hotels and let them know about you?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"...do you think they would?" Yes. Yes, they would.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles shrugged. "Who knows? You might have wanted posters in there."

[justlurkinghere]

"You get to pick up the key. I'll catch the elevator."

It was two stories, Derek.

[robinonadderall]

He laughed. "Okay, good idea. Stealthily make your way to the room."

[justlurkinghere]

"Consider it your chance to work undercover."

That made it sound seedy. And amazing.

[robinonadderall]

"I'll take my job seriously," he said, opening the door.

[justlurkinghere]

"Don't get caught!" Or run into psychotic Hales. Derek gave him a minute's head start before stealthily sneaking along like the creeper he was deep down.

Oh, dark corners. How he missed you.
