For the prompt thing, how about Stiles catching Derek watching Sailor Moon or something he used to refer to as silly and cliche and teasing him before they curl up and watch it together?
I’ve never actually seen Sailor Moon so I didn’t refer to any specific cartoon/anime in this. Anyway, I hope you like it!
“Dude, what the hell are you watching?” Stiles wondered aloud as he stepped further into the room where Derek was lying on the couch watching TV. As soon as the words left his mouth, Derek scrambled to his feet, grabbing the remote off the coffee table and desperately trying to turn the TV.
But nothing happened. No matter how many times he hit the power button, the children’s cartoon that he was watching remained on screen.
“That’s the DVD remote, big guy,” Stiles informed him as he reached over to grab the TV remote from off the unoccupied couch cushions. He turned it around a few times in his hand, brandishing it with a wide smirk.
On the TV screen, a character laughed, mocking Derek. He hung his head and let out a deep groan before plopping down on the couch.
Slumping against the cushions, he covered his face with his hands, so beyond embarrassed that Stiles showed some mercy and turned the volume on the TV down. He set the remote down on the coffee table along with one of the two sodas he had pilfered from Derek’s refrigerator.
“You should really restock your fridge,” Stiles commented conversationally as he sat down on the couch beside Derek. Opening his own can of soda with a metallic snap, Stiles shifted a little bit closer and announced, “The only thing left is some leftover roast beef and these sodas. Your freezer’s pretty wiped out, too. Isaac spend the night again? That dude and his midnight cravings, am I right?”
That got a smile from Derek, though it was small and barely visible through his fingers. It encouraged Stiles nonetheless.
Laying his head on Derek’s shoulder, Stiles set his soda down in favor of curling an arm around his boyfriend’s waist. Snuggling closer, he very softly murmured, “I’m sorry, babe. I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”
“It's fine,” Derek claimed, dropping his hands into his lap with an exaggerated pout, the situation clearly not fine. “I'm a grown adult, I shouldn't be watching cartoons, anyway.”
“Blasphemy,” Stiles declared, startling Derek who craned his neck to look over at Stiles with a curiously raised brow. Stiles just shrugged and explained, “Me and my dad still watch the Justice League animated show every Saturday. Cartoons are the shit.”
“So you don't think I'm…” Derek trailed off gesturing around aimlessly with a deep frown. Stiles just shook his head and tightened his arm around Derek who still seemed unsure, asking, “Really?”
“Yeah,” Stiles confirmed with a grin up at his boyfriend, giving him a tight squeeze. Groping around on the coffee table, Stiles picked up the remote and turned the volume up.
He shook the remote again, silently bragging that he had used the right one, as he settled in more comfortably against Derek. His boyfriend immediately curled an arm around his shoulders, pulling him closer.
They both turned their attention back to the TV screen to watch whatever wacky situations the characters got into.
