“Ugh, I can’t believe you dragged us all the way out here just for the meeting after last night,” Stiles complains with a groan. He leans his forehead against Derek’s shoulder and wraps his arms around him as if that’ll prompt him to carry him through the forest like a baby koala.

Derek, like the meanie he is, just laughs lightly and pats Stiles’ back.

“And don’t dare start with any more seize the beautiful day bullshit because this oh so precious sun of yours is killing my soul right through my eyes,” Stiles adds.

“It’s early afternoon, Stilinski. Not early hours of the morning. Quit being so whiney.”

“Shut up, Jackson. I barely got a wink of sleep all night. I’m allowed to be whiney,” Stiles says as he dislodges himself from Derek to glare at the other werewolf.

“Too busy doing other stuff?” Erica jumps in, waggling her eyebrows like she’s performing some kind of show.

“Yes, we were too busy gazing upon the heavens and the breathtaking marvels of the universe!”

“Mhm, I’m sure that’s what took your breath away,” Erica says.

“It wasn’t like that!”

“There was a meteor shower,” Derek jumps in with a rescue.

“Very romantic,” Erica swoons. “And super sexy.”

“Oh my god.” Stiles is too tired for this. He looks over at his boyfriend helplessly and Derek shrugs. Then, places a gentle kiss to Stiles’ forehead.

“Let them believe what they want,” Derek says simple and takes Stiles hand. He gives it a squeeze as they continue their trek out to a clearing further away from town for some werewolf training.

Stiles smiles. He doesn’t need to hear the words from Derek again to feel something in him settle. They had talked about this extensively between the two of them, and no matter what anyone else thought, they’re good. Derek loves him, quirks and dozens of shaded purple shirts, sexlessness and all. They’ve grown to such a sturdy couple, Stiles could barely believe it. He’d never have imagined something like this back when he first considered he might be on the asexual spectrum.

But here he is, and he couldn’t be happier.

For the non-sexual intimacy prompts! A. Sharing clothes B. In the woods C. To make/prove a point! ♡

Hi! Thank you for the prompt! I hope you like this =) ♥ (for the Non-Sexual Intimacy - Prompt List)

A not so proven point ao3 - pillowfort

”You’re so stubborn, you know that?” Stiles said, and Derek huffed and glared, crossed his arms over his chest.

”I’m fine,” Derek said.

”Yeah, that’s why you have goosebumps all over your arms and why you’re shivering, because you’re fine,” Stiles said.

They were in the middle of the woods, had been for a few hours, and Derek’s short-sleeved henley was clearly failing at keeping him warm. Stiles was wearing a t-shirt, a shirt, and a hoodie, the hoodie tied around his hips most of the time because it was too warm to wear it, and when he noticed Derek looking cold he offered it to him, but Derek was fine. Derek also just huffed again and didn’t say anything.

“Is it because of scents? Afraid you’ll like mine too much so you won’t risk it?” Stiles taunted, because getting Derek to wear it just to prove him wrong would still get him to wear it, and Stiles wouldn’t have to watch him shiver and look so goddamn cold anymore.

“No,” Derek said, but he looked shifty as fuck, and Stiles raised an eyebrow at him.

“Perfect, then there’s literally no reason for you not to wear it.” Stiles held the hoodie out for him. “Come on, don’t be so stubborn.”

Derek huffed again and snatched the hoodie from his grip, then he stilled for a second, took a breath, and pulled it on. He glared at Stiles again. “There, happy now?”

“Very happy,” Stiles said, beaming at him, and Derek rolled his eyes and started walking again. Stiles just grinned and followed him.

It wasn’t long until Derek didn’t look so cold anymore, which was nice. He also looked bothered though, kept glancing down at the hoodie, and after a while, it was Stiles turn to huff.

“Does it really smell that bad?” he asked.

Derek looked at Stiles with big eyes, then quickly looked ahead again, his jaw working and his brow furrowed. “No,” he said after a few more steps, his voice quiet.

“Then what’s with the whole bothered look?” Stiles asked

Derek sighed, a heavy sigh, and he didn’t look at Stiles. “It smells good.”

“Okay? And how is that a problem?” Stiles asked, and Derek looked up at the sky as he sighed again.

“It smells too good, alright? You were right, okay?” He kept not looking at Stiles as he walked, and Stiles nearly tripped as he was gawking at Derek while walking in the middle of a big ass forest.

“I was right?” he asked as he tried to remember what he had said. “You-. My scent? You do like it too much?”

Derek’s jaw clenched, his hands were in tight fists, and he kept his eyes forward as he kept walking.

“Yes,” he gritted out, and when Stiles grabbed his arm to stop him he whipped around and glared at him. “What.”

“You like how I smell?” Stiles asked. Derek just gritted his teeth harder though, looked at Stiles’ hand that was still on his arm, and Stiles carefully removed it. “You like how I smell enough that it’s a problem. You like me.” Derek still didn’t say anything, but he looked like he both wanted to murder someone and flee. “That’s awesome. I mean, that’s, wow, that’s awesome.”

Derek gave a deliberately fake smile, one that actually made him look kind of dangerous while also in pain. “Awesome,” he said. “Yeah. Right.”

“No, but it is,” Stiles said, “because if you like me and I like you, then we could like, do something about that.”

Derek’s face did a very interesting thing there, it went from murderous and angry and hurt to confused and hopeful and a little scared in the blink of an eye. He looked at Stiles, his eyes huge, but then he shut down, his face blank, just his slightly too big eyes betrayed how vulnerable he really felt.

“I’m a sex-repulsed asexual,” he said. “What could you possibly want that I could give you?”

“I know,” Stiles said. “Well, I didn’t know, but I kinda guessed? And that’s fine?”

“You knew?” Derek asked, and he was back to looking confused. “How?”

“It’s pretty clear with how you behave around sex and flirting and stuff,” Stiles said with a shrug. “You look a little sick, kinda, so I usually try to steer the topic away from that.”

“Oh,” Derek said quietly. “Oh, that-. That explains so much.”

“You okay, big guy?” Stiles asked softly, because Derek looked like he was having a hard time adjusting to this new information.

Derek nodded, frowning at nothing, then he looked at Stiles again. “So, what do you want with me? I mean, you’re not getting any of that, so?”

Stiles rolled his eyes at him and carefully took a step closer. “I get you though. You’re a pretty great guy, Derek.” He carefully held his hand out for Derek, who cautiously took it while looking like he was ready to bolt, and Stiles stroked his thumb across his knuckles. “I definitely wanna try if you want to.”

”No sex?” Derek asked.

”No sex,” Stiles agreed.

Derek’s brow was still furrowed as he watched Stiles, searched his face. “You’d be okay with that?”

“Yeah, of course, for you, most definitely. Absolutely.”

“Oh,” Derek said softly. It took a moment of furrowed brows and downturned lips, but then he smiled, a soft little smile, and Stiles’ returning smile was much bigger. “Okay, yeah. Okay. If you want to.”

“Oh, I want to,” Stiles said, “no question about that.” He changed his grip on Derek’s hand, held it a bit firmer, squeezed it a little, and Derek smiled down at their hands and squeezed back.

“Okay, yeah.” He looked at Stiles. “Then yes, we should do something about it.”

I almost missed the ace Sterek headcanon weekend

I felt the need to contribute at least one headcanon to this wonderful weekend, but it took me a while to really pinpoint what I wanted to put it out there. (Because I am still learning all the ace terms despite helping this blog whoops.)

I've loved seeing all the demi/gray interpretations of Sterek, because even when I got started with this blog, I had always thought, "I don't really see Derek and Stiles as ace, but I'm happy to help." Now I'm realizing that actually, I already did headcanon them in the gray-ace spectrum - I just didn't realize demi counted.

Seeing all the headcanons and meta about trauma shaping their pasts and their canon behavior is wonderful, and has fit a lot into my preexisting headcanons, and I love seeing that other people share similar ideas.

So, what canons does my head hold? I've always thought that Derek's sexual interest lies very much on the side of, "only once I know you and trust you, or I'm going to get something out of this I otherwise couldn't"; sexually repressed isn't exactly right, but I imagine he was uncomfortable with it for a long time.

Stiles, on the other hand, is a lot more vocal about his interests, though I think would have backed out if someone he didn't know and/or wasn't actually interested in attempted to proposition him.

Since Derek has such profound trust in Stiles, even realizing that he's his anchor, his sexual attraction towards him grows - something that I think would surprise Derek. But the closer he grows to Stiles and the more time he spends with him, the more comfortable he gets with this.

Once they've crossed that awkward first time together, they're insatiable; touch starved; addicted; clinging to each other and always seeking more. Not always sex, though everyone else might think so; they're still perfectly happy to just lay naked in each other's arms instead of turning up the passion.

Saying it fills a void for them may be too much, but there's a certain contentment that settles over them - like all the pieces have finally fallen into place. Everything is finally enough.

It was a random idea, and I'm not sure I'm happy with it?
