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!]

Well, hopefully he didn't expect Derek to move any time soon. "You are."

[robinonadderall]

Luckily Stiles was more than capable of handling Derek's weight. "I'm still in need of major cuddling and napping. Napping while cuddling."

[justlurkinghere]

"We're cuddling," Derek replied, totally nuzzling Stiles' neck.

[robinonadderall]

"I know," he said, kissing Derek's temple. "But we're going to need to be doing it for awhile."

[justlurkinghere]

That got Derek to smile like the sap he was. "I got the room all night. Not like we have to leave for a while."

[robinonadderall]

"Good," he murmured, sighing contentedly. "Thanks again for coming here."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek pushed himself up enough to look Stiles in the eye. "That's part of this. Being there for each other."

[robinonadderall]

"I know," he said. "I just...it feels stupid being upset about this sort of stuff."

[justlurkinghere]

"We can just hope it gets easier. If not..." He kissed Stiles. "Still here for you."

[robinonadderall]

Stiles smiled into the kiss, feeling all sappy about that. "You're too good to me."

[justlurkinghere]

"You put up with my weird things." Like ears.

[robinonadderall]

"Your weird things aren't really that weird." At least not to him.

[justlurkinghere]

"Or my toy collection." That was honestly just impressive now.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles grinned. "I like your toy collection."

[justlurkinghere]

"Not jealous?" Derek teased.

[robinonadderall]

"I like to think I benefit from all your practice."

[justlurkinghere]

Well, that was true.

"Only got them because of you," Derek replied, smirking as he settled in against him again.

[robinonadderall]

"All my fault?" he asked. "I find that hard to believe."

[justlurkinghere]

"Had to make sure I enjoyed it," Derek replied. "And it wasn't like I could ask someone to try it out."

[robinonadderall]

"Well, I mean, you could have." Considering they hadn't been dating at the time. "But I'm glad you didn't."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'd have to have trusted the person." A beat. "Or been someone else."

Which was what caused the trouble in the first place.

[robinonadderall]

"Two unlikely things," he said. "Like I said, I'm glad you didn't."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek responded to that with a little bit of scent marking that he would still insist wasn't happening as he rubbed his cheek against Stiles' chest. "We're lucky we're just as possessive with each other."

[robinonadderall]

Stiles laughed and shook his head. "We got lucky that we both find possessiveness hot."

[justlurkinghere]

"It probably explains why we don't argue as much." That and the athletic sex.
