Summary: During a high school field trip hiking along the Lost Coast trail, Derek and Stiles end up getting separated from the rest of the group.
Notes: This work is a commission for the Frekky Fundraiser, that was won by tsuminubiaru. Beta'd by iam-space, as usual.
“This is just great,” Stiles mutters under his breath before he swings around to face Derek, “We’re lost.”
“We’re not lost,” Derek says with almost no intonation in his voice, not even looking at Stiles as he scans the trees.
Stiles scoffs, hitching his backpack higher up on his shoulders. It’s starting to get heavy, but at least it means they still have food and water. And he knows that Derek is carrying a tent in his, so they might not die of exposure or dehydration right away.
Of course there’s always wild animals or crazy hunters in the woods that might do the trick.
“We are so lost and we’re going to die out here!” Stiles calls out, his voice a little more panicked than he wants to admit.
Derek just huffs out an annoyed grunt as he purposefully turns his back on Stiles. And then it hits Stiles that there’s always the possibility that Derek will push him off the cliff and claim it was an accident.
