derek going to talk to spencer as soon as that asshole opened his stupid mouth. the hand on the shoulder grounding him. the gentle voice. the reassurance. the cupped cheek. spencer cheering up. the little chuckle and smile. the soft and breathless "yeah"/"thanks". the way they look at each other. the tap on his cheek. the confidence coming back. the deep breath and pursed lips, ready and wanting to prove himself and make derek proud. the fact this wasn't even about the game for derek but about spencer and his self-esteem. how am i supposed to not love them..
