Stiles definitely didn't have a crush on his best friend's older brother, Derek. Definitely not. He just appreciated Derek's body. Shut up, the man was walking sex and Stiles was a seventeen-year-old boy. He could fantasize about him if he wanted (“But not out loud.” “Shut up, Scotty, it’s your fault for being related to him.”)

Derek decides the best way to get Scott to join his pack is to seduce Stiles first. Derek makes terrible decisions.

“I’m sorry,” Stiles sighed heavily, coming back down to earth, “But when you woke me up this morning and said that we needed to go out into the woods and find the evil Snow Witch that brought this shit here, I thought that was your emotionally stunted way of saying come build a snowman with me.”

Stiles really doesn't understand why he needs to join the pack at training every single weekend. Derek tells him why.
There’s a varying level of roughhousing and aggressiveness people are okay with, heck, me and some of my best friends would get into consensual fist fights just for the fun of it, it was roughhousing in the extreme but it gave us an outlet for our energy and we could always call off the fight the second we felt the need for it.
…so how do you tell your comparatively giant friend after you end up permanently shrinking one day for one reason or another that you’re not some delicate flower and you WANT them to tease, taunt, roughhouse, and playfully bully you, cause that’s the sort of friendship you’re used to having, and that’s what you’re comfortable with even at this size?
Cause that sounds like a very awkward conversation to have, lol.
Roughhousing is my love language. You’re so cool, punch me in the stomach. Wow you look great today, wrestle me for your shoe. God man that color does wonders for your eyes, now let me elbow you in the face.
So, I was talking with my partner the other day about how Kakeru and Yuki are always touching each other (one of many reasons they're the most popular non-canonical furuba pairing on Ao3). Anyway, it got me thinking-- if we don't read all this physical contact as necessarily romantic, what are some other possible explanations? An examination:
When Yuki first meets Kakeru, he immediately gets up in his face talking about his favorite Super Sentai character, then walks him out of the student council office with an arm around his neck, despite Yuki's obvious discomfort.
When Kakeru puts a hand on his shoulder soon after, he teases Yuki about his feminine features. Yuki bats his hand away and decides he already hates Kakeru.
In Kakeru's next appearance, he puts a hand on Yuki's shoulder, removing it when Yuki gives him a death glare.
When Kakeru stays behind that day to needle Yuki about Tohru, Yuki is the one to initiate touch this time. This leads to the two of them sharing a moment of vulnerability and the true beginning of their friendship. Kakeru putting his thumbs up on Yuki's shoulder is also a change to the way he's touched Yuki before - it's perhaps a bit more comfortable for Yuki, who's reacted negatively to all touch from Kakeru before this. Kakeru's communicating in his own way that he'll try and consider Yuki's needs from now on.
Next, we have the Kyoto trip, in which Yuki is still not fully comfortable with Kakeru (shown by his embarrassment when he tells Kakeru they wouldn't be friends anymore), but is starting to consider him a friend and spend time with him intentionally. We also have some sweet moments like this exchange between Haru and Kakeru, which Kakeru takes very seriously.
After this, Yuki finally learns (some of) Kakeru's backstory when he goes to help Kakeru clean up after Machi destroyed the student council office again. Yuki gets context for why Kakeru is the way that he is, learns about the successorship conflict, and then tries out some Kakeru chaos for himself. We also see Yuki initiate touch for the third time. I think this episode is where the real shift in their relationship happened. Yuki sees that there's a wisdom to Kakeru that he wasn't seeing without that context of Kakeru's oppressive childhood-- something to which Yuki can relate all too well. In a way, Kakeru's impulsiveness and sense of fun is his own way of either reclaiming or living out the childhood he didn't get to have, along with other traits like his love of Super Sentai.
And now, a brief aside.
We see pretty clearly that the other three cursed Sohma boys around Yuki's age are all pretty comfortable interacting with each other physically. Kyo will roughhouse with Haru and give Momiji noogies, Momiji will hug or lean on both Kyo and Haru. These sorts of interactions began when they were young boys, and are pretty typical of boys through adolescence. Yuki, being shut in a room with Akito or alone, didn't get to have that experience of boyhood. All his physical interactions with Kyo are negative, and his physical interactions with Momiji are neutral-ish (Momiji jumps on him at the culture festival, Yuki dabs his tears in Kisa's first episode, and Yuki scolds Momiji a handful of times). (Aside within the aside: while Haru sometimes reciprocates the affection from Momiji or rough play from Kyo, he clearly has a special way of physically interacting with Yuki in the T-shape and shirt pinch, or the stroking of his chin, etc..., and he initiates touch with Yuki much more often than with the other two, likely because he noticed that as one more thing Yuki was missing out on and wanted to include him in a way that would be comfortable for him.)
So when Kakeru tells Yuki about his childhood, and Yuki gets stuck in the storage room later that episode and has a flashback to his own terrible childhood, he's already primed to open up to Kakeru about his own childhood and to start looking at the world more like Kakeru does.
So, after that day, their friendship becomes much more physical. Yuki no longer bats away Kakeru's hand and even initiates touch more often. They roughhouse and Kakeru often puts his arm around Yuki in a gesture of affection. To me, it's a way of reclaiming those experiences they didn't get to have in their childhood-- especially the type of friendships neither of them got to form when they were younger.
i love being the strongest girl in my friend group... my friends keep throwing themselves at me to rough house, and none of them have succeeded in taking me town yet.
it always ends with them pinned, unable to move despite their best efforts until they ask me to let them up >w<
Awww, that sounds so fun and chaotic! I love that for you! Do you think one day they might gang up on you to playfully tackle you to the ground? That would be a very silly and victorious day for your friends if they can get you! 😂
I'm just imagining the chaos of one friend laughing while they watch you pin another one of your friends down who's equally as joyful and full of giggles that they can wrestle with you!
