“What were you really doing at the movie theater?”

“Seeing the Lego Movie sequel, I told you.”

Scott sat back, disappointed. He had been so sure that Peter was lying that day. 

“Are you sure he got hit with the truth spell?” he asked Stiles. 

“Yep,” Stiles answered, amused. “Right in the chest. You have about twenty more minutes to ask all your burning questions about Peter’s theater habits.”

“I don’t know why you all seem to think that I spend all my time lying,” Peter said, relaxed. “The truth is much more fun most of the time.”

“What do you actually think of Derek’s homemade granola?” Erica called over from the other side of the room. 

“Heavy but filling.”

Erica pouted. 

“That’s what you said last time.”

“Well it’s not as if he can improve his recipe without honest opinions, can he?”

“You’re all asking lame questions,” Cora said. “Let’s start a fight. Peter, what do you think of Derek’s new girlfriend?”

Peter shrugged. 

“She doesn’t seem like she’s murdered anyone lately, which is more than I can say for most of the people in this room. And she doesn’t put raisins in her cinnamon rolls. Could be worse.”

“Thank you for the approval,” Derek said dryly. 

“C’mon, someone think of something good to ask him,” Isaac whined. “This is our one chance to make him admit to anything!” 

Erica rolled her eyes, saying, “What, do you want us to ask who his crush is?”

“Stiles,” Peter answered promptly. Stiles immediately choked on his own tongue. Peter looked over at him, slightly concerned but more judgemental. 

“I thought you were joking!!” Stiles sputtered out. Peter sighed. 

“I really don’t know why you all insist on believing I’m lying all the time.”

“I didn’t think you were lying,” Stiles defended, “just… not serious when you asked me out.”

“Well, I was.” He looked at Stiles appraisingly. “I still have the tickets, if your answer has changed. The show doesn’t start for another hour.”

“Fuck yes, let’s go!”

“Wait!” Scott protested. “You can’t- he- what if-”

“Scott buddy, stop worrying. You literally could not have more honest proof of his intentions,” Stiles said as he gathered his coat. 

“My intentions aren’t pure at all,” Peter volunteered. “But they are honest.”

Scott continued to stare after them even as they closed the front door behind them. Everyone else got up and started milling around until Derek spoke up.
