Derek: Sure, babe. Whatever you want.

*2 minutes later*

Stiles: I'm tired, can you take over?

Derek: did you look a lot like her? It sounds like you take after her a lot

Stiles: well… i don’t have many pictures of her, but I got at least one on my phone. Be nice, okay?

Derek: of course

Stiles shows him his phone. It’s a photo of a fucking urn

The poor pack now has to deal with double sarcasm, sass, irony and bad decisions.

They all would be in a pack meeting discussing their new fae enemy, just for Stiles and Derek to look at each other eyes for a whole minute without even blinking and then leave the room without explanation.

By the time the pack comes out with a plan and drives to the fae nest, the only thing left is fae black goo. A text to Stiles later and now they know why they left earlier.

Stiles: From my angle I can't see it bounce.

Derek: See what bounce?

Stiles: Do you know why I always stay behind when we go running.

Derek: Because you can't keep up.

Stiles: Yes, but also because I like to see it bounce.

he’s chilling in the loft with stiles one day as they catch up. he’s expressing his frustration at his lack of inspiration, starting with the simple sentence “i’ve been in a rut lately.” but stiles mishears him. he thinks he said “i’ve been in rut lately,” thinking alpha werewolf derek is in rut.

stiles’ eyes widen as he stammers out, “uh, you need some help with that, big guy?” derek nods appreciatively. help would be much needed. he’d like to write another chapter this week—

suddenly stiles kisses him out of nowhere, seemingly. but derek kisses back easily, and one thing leads to another, and it’s only after a couple rounds of very enthusiastic sex that the miscommunication clears up between them with some red faces and bashful looks.

it doesn’t prevent them from going for another round or two, though.

Eventually it escalates to Derek breaking into his room to watch him sleep because he just has to make sure that Stiles is safe (and also Stiles smells more relaxed when he sleeps and sometimes he has wet dreams that just tempt Derek). At first Derek thought it would be enough but it's just not, he needs to stick his face into Stiles neck. He needs to scent him and make Stiles smells like him. Derek cringes and wants to growl every time he gets too close and smells Scotts scent on him, even if its faint and he can smell that it's friendly and not claiming. It still grates on him. Stiles should belong to him, not his Beta. He could provide for Stiles better than Scott could ever dream of. He's the Alpha for fucks sake.

reasons why derek wears tight shirts:

the compression feels good and makes him feel held

he needs the support. emotionally but also like a bra

less fabric in the way if he has to run from something

someone told him he has to dress sexy and hot

reasons why stiles buys him oversized shirts and he learns to love them:

comfy.

nonrestrictive

feels like a hug

more fabric means cozy and the running-away thoughts are less prominent in his brain. he doesn't feel like he has to be as on-guard in them

stiles bought them for him so they smell good and stiles borrows them too (and they smell even better)

stiles still thinks he looks hot in them and they're extra good for cuddling. they're soft and loose and warm and he can move more easily. they're not restrictive like before. they mean safety

on that note, despite derek kind of hating himself in season one specifically, at least he wore soft henleys. like yeah the leather jacket did not seem cozy, and stiles likes to buy him fleece and warm sweaters later on, but derek could've been wearing itchy or stiff or plastic-y shirts. instead they were soft and worn and the fabric was gentle and that's something at least. the man just wants to feel cozy and it's nice that he let himself at least partially.

One of the things that Derek totally hates about humans is their tendencies to cheat. To werewolves mates are sacred. Once they find their other half they mate for life and devout every breath to keep a strong bond with their mate.

But humans? Derek has seen them cheating before, after and while getting mated. (-The word is "married", Derek. -Same thing)

He has seen them talk shit about their mates behind their backs and then act as if everything was ok. He's smelled the lovers around newlyweds. He's seen human mates hurting and killing each other on the morning News.

Humans are dishonest, disloyal, deceitful, unreliable. Even for their own kind.

Then why does he feel so safe around Stiles?

Why does he feel that he can trust him?
