Title: I Hope That You Can Repair MeĀ
Tags: AU: Robots & Androids - Robots - Angst - Fluff and Angst - Happy Ending
Summary :Ā In a world where robots live alongside humans, Stiles is a new model robot. He is fully equipped with emotions, whereas Derek is an older model, unable to love. So what happens when Stiles falls in love with Derek anyway, but Derek can't possibly return the feelings?
Notes:Ā This is my second commission for The Tyler Hoechlin Birthday Project auction. This fic is for my most wonderful friend emoussie, who asked me for robots, Derek who was unable to love, angst, a specific crying scene, and a happy ending! I hope I did it justice. *frets*
I added a quick Sterek sketch as well, because I didn't want to post without anything. :/Ā
Thank you to iam-space, for the beta!
I Hope That You Can Repair Me
āHey, where were you?ā Stiles asks as he lounges at Derekās desk - his usual spot if he isnāt keeping the Sheriff company or taking over front desk duty.
Itās not like Stiles actually works at the Police Station, but heās more like a son to the Sheriff than anyone else ever will be, and he knows that the Sheriff likes to keep him close. And if Stiles is completely honest, he likes working the front desk, he even thinks he does a better job at it than Greenberg, not that thatās saying much. The added bonus of getting to spend a lot of time with Derek is⦠well, one of Stilesā favorite parts of the ājobā.
āGetting fixed up by Lydia,ā Derek says as he shrugs off his coat and hangs it over a chair, āI needed some fine-tuning.ā He winks at Stiles before plopping down in his desk chair and jokes, āAnother day of not being tossed in the junkyard.ā
āOh, stop it,ā Stiles brushes off as he rolls his eyes.
āIām serious,ā Derek says while shrugging but Stiles knows itās a genuine concern, āIām an old model, Stiles. Why would they go on keeping me around if theyāve got improved ones everywhere?ā
