"You know I am here for you right?"

“— - yeah. Why? What’s up?” What’s happened? The thought drives it’s way through his mind before he can stop it. A stray slip of old; the aching familiarity of his— -

Derek pushes himself up off the rock; knife and small wooden figure clasped loosely in his hands. It’s dusk; the last dying rays of light dipping beneath the horizon. Long shadows creep up against the sides of the trees not facing the sun.

Derek’s eyes search his face; coming to a gentle stop in front of him. “— - Stiles, what’s wrong? What’s happened?”

[sourwolfvstiles]

Stiles had studied the sunset dancing beneath the horizon; almost lost in the colors bleeding.

As the others gaze fell into his eyesight. A roll of his head, fingers reached out; to place against his shoulders.

“. . I’m fine Der. I just haven’t reminded you lately. I know you’ve been okay emotionally. But, i just wanted you to remember okay?”

[lycanvxined-blog]

“— - well, we haven’t been talking as much.” Now it was Derek’s turn to roll his broad shoulders a little uncomfortably.

But it wasn’t from Stiles. His discomfort came from somewhere else; the— -

. . . The tip of his tongue rolled back against the surface of his lips. “Lately, I mean.” He was so good with words— -

[itsanakinhale]

“So, I kind of chased down a druid. Thank God that I heal fast.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

“— - why?”

[itsanakinhale]

“New phone, who is this?”

Plan B Jamie, plan B. Tuck and roll, be the fastest snail there is.

[lycanvxined-blog]

“— - this is a verbal conversation, Jamie.” Cue a deeply unimpressed stare. “—are you. . tucking your chin-“

[itsanakinhale]

“Well, you see - sometimes cubs like me try to avoid conversations like these, so they can live to see another day.” Flashes a Stilinski grin, more teeth. Show your healthy teeth. That’s the family secret.

“Did you know that Netflix doesn’t have a single movie about Werewolves? Here I thought I could spend another day watching horror movies… But I can’t find any about werewolves. How boring is that?” He’s inching closer to the staircase, but keeps eye contact with the alpha. “Well, I’m as they say in England, very knackered so…”

Let your inner Stiles shine.

[lycanvxined-blog]

“— - we’re not particularly attractive to the average viewer, Jamie.” Derek scratched the back of his neck; expression flat.

Jesus; this was like talking to a slippier version of Stiles—

[itsanakinhale]

“So, I kind of chased down a druid. Thank God that I heal fast.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

“— - why?”

[itsanakinhale]

“New phone, who is this?”

Derek’s eyes search his face; coming to a gentle stop in front of him. “— - Stiles, what’s wrong? What’s happened?”

[lycanvxined-blog]

‘ oh my god, i feel like i’ve gone to the dark side.’

A deep, sigh passed through the single line of his lips; rearranging his body wearily on the couch next to him. “- Stiles; the only thing dark is the inside of your eyelids.” Patience had never been a Hale trait; but Derek was nothing if not determined. The slow; only slightly snarky volume of his voice was enough to display his stifled amusement.

Derek would not laugh. 

 “- If you opened them, you wouldn’t have this problem.” Measured; Derek took his time with his words. 

Oof. 

[sourwolfvstiles]

At that stiles couldn’t help but grin, “You think I am a beloved creation? That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said.” He beamed, eyes rolling at the bitting; before those same fingers trailed his back.

“You know, the Pope is intelligent right? Intelligent, brave; just like you.”

Same Stiles Same

[lycanvxined-blog]

Oh god; this kid—

‘If you don’t shut up talking; I’m gonna shift.” Beneath the speckled male’s gentle fingertips; the smooth curve of his bare back shivered slightly; reacting to the touch.

[sourwolfvstiles]

A simple brow arched.

“If I don’t stop talking, you’re gonna shift? Shift into a soft, fluffy wolf?” He mused, the smirk not wavering, palms moving towards his shoulders. To attempt to rid the tension.

“I think I’ll take my chances. Your threats don’t scare me anymore, Der.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

“—if they ever did to begin with.” Derek snorted softly into his pillow; although back then, he knew they had.

Fear fuelled by the slow growing of teenage arousal. And then the slow dissipation into something else. Derek knew when to retire his Big Bad Wolf routine; knew— -

“Your feet are freezing—“ He grumbled under his breath; rolling his neck before his skin began to move.

“I remind you of what?” Stiles couldn’t help but stare dumbfounded. Sure he knew he was a clutz and flailed enough for the both of them. But Bambi? Absolutely not.

Lips curling into a small grin as a palm came across the tanned face, “Me innocent? Correction, I have innocent eyes? If I am innocent, you are the pope Der.”

Oh no.

[lycanvxined-blog]

“— - the pope.” Derek replied flatly; a flicker of faint amusement popping into his voice. “I compare you to one of Disney’s most beloved creations and you — -“

He snorted.

“- — make comparisons between me and an eighty odd year old man.” Lightly biting his long fingers; he rolled onto his stomach; burying his face into his own pillow.

Shoulders shaking; but he’d never admit it.

"Hello, Sir. Thank you for letting me stay at the loft." Zelda NO

“— - you know, either it’s a talent you got in without setting off the alarms; or, you had help.” Drily.

Why was his loft a Beacon for teenagers?

‘ oh my god, i feel like i’ve gone to the dark side.’

A deep, sigh passed through the single line of his lips; rearranging his body wearily on the couch next to him. “- Stiles; the only thing dark is the inside of your eyelids.” Patience had never been a Hale trait; but Derek was nothing if not determined.

 “- If you opened them, you wouldn’t have this problem.” Measured; Derek took his time with his words. 

Oof. 

[sourwolfvstiles]

‘As attractive as you are’ had echoed through his head before he rolled his eyes.

“Relax Der. It’s a hypothetical saying, after all; didntya know eyes are the windows of the soul?”

A groan had quietly left his mouth, before fingers grabbing the edge of his shirt, “Excuse you, I’m not tired.” Correction: He was, but it was the first night Derek was back from hunting.

Is it a curse to want to spend time with him?

Sheesh

[lycanvxined-blog]

“— - that’ll explain why you routinely remind me of Bambi–“ Derek shot back; mouth curling as he turned his head to look at him. Because underneath all that gruffness; and serious personality; still lived a little shit.

“–big doe eyes— -“ He poked his cheek. “— - look at them. Have you ever seen such innocent blinking—“

Derek, no—

[hoechlin]

[lycanvxined-blog]

Dear father, my best friend is in like be with me, Stiles told me to ask you for advice. What do I do? Do you have money I can borrow so I can leave the country?

He thinks about this.

Thinks about it in the way that a solid silence will very clearly demonstrate; his jaw set; biceps tensing slightly; beneath the edges of his t-shirt. “… — you’re too young to date.”

His tone is dismissive. “So this isn’t a problem.”

[itsanakinhale]

“I wasn’t born yesterday, I’m two years away from being considered a grown-up. Besides, that’s not why I’m here.” If this had been future Derek, Jamie’s reaction had been a bit different.

“And I don’t have time to date, I’m a very busy man.” More like boy. “This person is my best friend, how am I supposed to act around her now. I mean she likes me. Not just as her friend, but more than that. Me. The person that doesn’t play the only sport in Beacon Hills that actually matter.” He was only important in the vicinity of the pack. Outside of the pack - he was pretty much a nobody.

“How can she like someone like me?” His shoulder dropped, the heel of his palm rubbed his eyes vigorously, and a sigh of defeat escaped him. “I already told her I don’t have time for stuff like that.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

Green eyes soften; but only a fraction; a slow blink that takes in the defeated slump of his own son’s shoulders— -

Derek exhales; and moves in. Not sure how to do this; especially to an almost stranger—. Wetting his lips slightly; to give him time to formulate his thoughts; he plants a broad hand on his shoulder.

“—what’s wrong with you?” Brow furrowed.

[itsanakinhale]

“Don’t you think that the most amazing person out there, should fall for someone more… Awesome? I don’t even know what to do in the future. I can barely choose topping on my pizza.”

A small crease formed between his eyebrows. “How did you know you were the right one for Stiles?”

[lycanvxined-blog]

He squeezes his shoulder; allowing himself this; a brief, paternal show of support. “— - so you think they’re amazing.” His tone is flat; but the interest behind the words is something else entirely.

Is he avoiding the second question? Absolutely, yeah.

[itsanakinhale]

“She’s my friend, of course she’s amazing. Just being able to spend so much time with someone, who genuinely likes me… Not because of who I am, but because of my personality.”

He’s going to remember this moment Derek. For the next ten minutes at least. He has the same attention span as his goofy father.

[lycanvxined-blog]

Derek nods; tucking his chin into and against his own neck, a little imperceptibly. Looking thoughtful.

“—be honest with her.” One last squeeze; before he removes his touch. “I don’t think you should be dating right now anyway. Focus on your grades. Get into a good collage.”

Derek’s eyes linger on the floor. “—because believe me; falling in love with someone when you’re barely out of your teens?”

A surprisingly soft sigh. “Not a good idea. You’re not thinking straight. You’re only focused on the emotion.”

Face set; eyes hooded. “If you change your mind down the line; when you’re older; then - — fine. But not now. Not when you’re still in school.”

It’ll distract him.

[itsanakinhale]

“You know I don’t even have to go to school. They stream classes. Heck, I don’t even have to leave my room. Like ever.”

To be fair he had already told the girl how busy he is saving the world. Or well, to him the pack was his world. Lips curled into his signature smile. That in the end showed more teeth than - he’s a bit awkward.

“Be the top of my class, got it.” Little do you know Derek, your future son is smarter than he look.

[lycanvxined-blog]

Both brows rose. “—but you’re gonna leave your room. You’re gonna go to school.” Muscular arms folded across his chest; eying him suspiciously. There was just a little too much wolf in that smile.

“Because social interaction— - ” Slow; taking care to pronounce each word as if he was talking to an idiot. Just in case. “- — is a thing.”

[itsanakinhale]

Oh, he had heard that tone before. It was used quite often in his home, especially around teenagers. “I’m just kidding, of course I’m leaving my room. I do have lots of activities after school as well.”

Social interactions, hm. “I have never missed a day of school, so there’s no need to worry.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

Derek grunted.

“— good.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

[lycanvxined-blog]

Well isn't it my favorite grump? Hi Derek!

“ - Jamie.” 

He gets a slight nod of acknowledgement; choosing to ignore the whole ‘grump’ thing because he’s — 

Anyway. 

[itsanakinhale]

The smile that curled the boys lips at the faint acknowledgement of his… Father? This entire situation was a bit awkward.

“You know, you should smile more often. Makes you less scary. You’ll get there some day, I’m sure.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

You should smile more, Derek.

Why don’t you smile more—? ❜

The tip of his tongue traced the corner of his mouth; expression caught in quiet contemplation; eying his son the younger male. You smile like Stiles. All goodhumour and baffled mirth.

“Yeah— - well, maybe I don’t wanna smile.” It flew from his dry lips, a throw-a-way line; curiously flippant, almost as though he was using it to cover up for something else.

[itsanakinhale]

“Well, obviously you should only smile when you want to. But you have lots of reasons to keep that permanent scowl off your face.”

He also never shuts up, just like a certain Stilinski. But to be fair, he’s in a good mood today. That often brings out his more carefree nature. “I’ll be out of your hair soon, Derek. I’m sorry for being a freeloader.”

The beta inclined his head, observing the Alpha - soon his face lit up with a mischievous glee. “I’ll see you around.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

Derek’s gaze narrowed. “— - what did you do?” He’d seen that mischievous glee somewhere before.

[itsanakinhale]

“You’ll see, soon enough. I worked hard on this prank. Don’t worry, this person deserves this.”

[lycanvxined-blog]

He rubbed the edge of his face; palm passing over heavy brows; half yawning. “— - just don’t kill anyone.”

[itsanakinhale]

“I don’t have blue eyes, Derek. I would never!” He tried killing a spider once. Once.

[lycanvxined-blog]

The older male shot him a quick; imperceptible roll of the eyes. “— - who’s the target of this prank, anyway?”

If it’s him, he’s going to beat him unconscious, cuff him around the ear. Naturally.

[itsanakinhale]

“Your uncle, who else would I prank? Stiles would know if I pranked him, and prank me ten times worse. Future you would probably have me clean the house with a toothbrush… And you, you’re scary.”

He’s too young to die.

[lycanvxined-blog]

Derek’s seen younger deaths.

“— - oh. Well. In that case; continue.” His mouth twitched. Amused? Him? Nope.

[itsanakinhale]

“Let me just say, he’ll look like a Smurf for a few days.” He’s an evil child.

[lycanvxined-blog]

Derek has no problem with that.

If he’d had his way; Peter would be a dead smurf; but— - he figures it’s probably not a good idea to talk about killing your own uncle in front of your own — yeah. Anyway.
