@averystereksummer Day 6: Summer Snack
I tried uploading via the tumblr app the whole day yesterday but somehow always got a message that something went wrong :/
Hope this time the ost goes through...
Anyway. Hope you enjoy this art & ficlet for the "a vey Steek Summer" event!
"Hey there, meat master!"
Stiles slung his arm around Derek's shoulder and pressed his lips against his cheeks in a fleeting kiss. Derek turned his head slightly, a relaxed smile playing on his lips.
"Finally got tired of challeinging my beta's to arm-wrestle?"
Stiles huffed a laugh. "Your beta's suck," he commented while poking one of the sizzling sausages on the grill with his finger. "They could have let me win at least once.
"Derek chuckled and snapped his grilling tong playfully at Stiles fingers. "Well, not everyone entertains you like I do."
Stiles grinned widely and waggled his eyebrows. "They certainly do not," he purred, letting his hand slide down Derek's back to grab a handfull of his ass through his swim trunks.
Derek's eyes turned dark and he was about to reply when Cora interrupted the two of them, making fake gagging noises as she stepped up to the grill.
"Please don't grope each other in public," she said. "I mean, it's cute you two finally got over your ridiculous pining-and-suffering-phase, but there's just some things I don't need to see."Before Derek or Stiles could react, she already had stolen two full Steaks off the grill and turned to walk away again.
Derek just rolled his eyes, ready to turn the remaining food on the grill.Stiles, however, let out a quick whistle. "Hey Cora!" he shouted, prompting her to look back over her shoulder just in time to see Stiles press up against Derek's side, biting Derek's earlobe while pushing one hand into his swim trunks to give his butt cheek a good squeeze.
Derek let out a small content purr and Cora squeezed her eyes shut, face distorted in a disgusted grimace, and whipped her head around so fast she almost sent her steaks flying.
"You guys are DISGUSTING!" she screamed, while the rest of the pack over by the picnic table joined in with similar comments. Only Erica cackled gleefully, bringing both of her hands up to her mouth to shout "You go get him, Batman!"
Stiles buried his face in Derek's shoulder laughing and Derek just shook his head, grin spread on his face as he tended to the remaining sausages and steaks.
"Snacks are here!" Lydia proclaimed, walking over from the cabin Allison in tow, both of them carrying big plates full of fruits. When they sat the plates down on the picnic table the pack immediately crowded in, each trying to get their hands on the juiciest, biggest pieces.
"Aw man," Stiles said as he walked up to the table. "You cut up the watermelon already?"
Allison looked up, eyebrows raised. "...Yes? You did want to eat it, right?" she asked and Lydia just rolled her eyes as she popped a cherry into her mouth.
"Stiles has this weird idea that I would let him smash a watermelon with a bat in my presence," she said and if all it made Allison look even more confused.
"It's a game!" Stiles defended himself. "And it's FUN!" He reached in between Erica and Boyd for a piece of watermelon. "You like put the watermelon on the ground and then like blindfold one person that has to spin around and then walk up to the watermelon and hit it with a bat."
Erica playfully snapped her teeth at Stiles hand, grinning up when he in return flicked her earlobe. "I think that sounds like fun!" she commented and Stiles knew why he liked her so much. They bumped their pieces of watermelon in a toast and Stiles turned around to grin at Allison and Lydia.
"Told you so," he said but Allison did not look too convinced. "But if you smash it with a bat, that would just be wasting food, no?" she asked, eyebrows drawn together in confusion.
Stiles bit off the top of his watermelon and chewed. "That's the thing," he explained. "You have to hit it straight in the center - then it just cracks open. Like... splitting in half. And tada- you can eat it!"
Lydia just shook her head, holding open her hand for Jackson to place another carefully selected cherry on it. "As if you would manage that," she said and Stiles grabbed his chest in fake shock. "We all know you'd either miss completely..." That earned a snort from Jackson. "...or you'd smash the whole thing, getting watermelon on everyone in a six feet radius."
"I would totally not!" Stiles tried to defend himself, but everyone in the pack just laughed and disagreed. Even Derek turned his head and shouted "Stop trying, babe. You know you would. And that's partially why you wanted to do it."
And after faking heartbreak for about a second, Stiles snorted and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I guess you know me too well..." He stuck out his tongue and grabbed another piece of watermelon, walking back up to where Derek was still tending to the meat.
He wrapped himself around Derek's side, holding the watermelon out for Derek. "Here you go," he said. "Sweet and refreshing. Just like you." And just as hoped, half the pack was groaning at that. Stiles laughed and Derek just shook his head fondly at his stupid boyfriend before taking a big bite out of it.
"Juicy," Derek commented, a grin spreading on his face. "Love that taste on my tongue." Now that made Stiles grin, too. "Just like you."
Both held each other laughing when the pack disrupted in groans and gags, some of the betas even fleeing the scene for the lake. "You two really are insufferable," Cora shouted to which Derek just pulled Stiles in for a kiss.
"Absolutely. And happy while doing so," he murmured against Stiles lips. Stiles slung his arm tighter around Derek.
"Absolutely."
