High school AU where the Hales send their kids to Devenford instead of BHHS, but Stiles and Derek still end up dating.
Stiles talks about his "loser (affectionate) boyfriend" all the time, but he hardly ever says Derek's first name and never says his last name, so the rest of the squad is 99.8% (Scott is the 0.02% holdout) convinced that Stiles is making him up bc he's the only single Pringle left in the group and his claim that "Derek" is a Devenford student is an excuse for them never seeing him. They're not bursting his bubble yet but they are taking notes to call him out with later.
"Facts" About Stiles's "Boyfriend" Derek:
Total nerd
Plays a sportsball (Stiles says it specifically like this to make Jackson's eye twitch)
Rides a bike
Sucks at video games
Has at least two sisters
When Lydia's famous birthday party rolls around and Stiles asks if he can bring Derek, everyone expects him to either show up alone or not at all. They do not expect him to show up with Derek Fucking Hale.
LIKE??? HELLO??? That is DEREK HALE??? Of the founding-family-of-Beacon-Hills, richer-than-God, own-most-of-this-town Hales??? (Of the basically-werewolf-royalty, shiniest-of-shiny-Pokémon, full-shifting-into-literal-wolves Hales???) The Derek Hale who rides a VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE ("that's still a bike?"/"not the point, stiles!") and is the reason BHHS has not won a SINGLE BASKETBALL GAME this entire goddamn SEASON???
THIS is who you've been calling your LOSER BOYFRIEND????
"He likes Star Trek more than Star Wars."
