I just read a little thing about stiles telling Derrk hes just a big old puppy dog and i thought about how derek even when not shifted and is relaxing with stiles. He just at times nips at stiles for no reason and moves on from it like nothing happened. Stiles running his hand through Dereks hair while they relaxed on the couch and bam, derek turns his head and actually nips at stiles which scared him cause it was unexpected and then derek getting comfortable again while making little grumbling sounds for stiles to continue. It could also be him just stopping in the middle of a conversation with someone, walking up to stiles who is either in a conversation or relaxing and just laying on him with his back to stiles before just rubbing on him or giving him a soft/hard headbutt before going back to what he was doing. (Derek not even noticing his behavior but the pack and stiles notices, some may be even jealous cause derek only ever does it with stiles. XD)
not gonna lie, i read this in a rush as i was getting ready for work the other day and realized i misread the whole thing and almost had an entire thing written.. either way, immediately yes !
itβs the pack and Stiles not knowing how much Derek actually enjoys affection and craves attentionβ¦ mostly from Stiles.
like maybe Derek does give some of the pack little hints of affection. he doesnβt completely ignore them; itβs within his wolfy instincts to touch or wrestle with his betas every once in a while to let them know heβs happy to have them around and love them. he gives them little pats on their shoulders, a light grip at the back of their necks, a hug.. maybe !
but his affection or need for attention towards the betas is not at the same extent that it is with Stiles.
Derek walking into the loft, finding Stiles already comfortably curled on the couch. without hesitation, Derek kicks off his shoes, rushing to the couch and giving a low, content purr as he crawls into Stilesβ lap, giving a little nip at whatever piece of skin he can reach. Stiles giving a stunned, βouchβ even if it didnβt hurt, staring down at Derek whoβs staring back before rubbing his nose into Stilesβ tummy. Stiles giggles and just begins lightly scratching his fingers through Derekβs hair. another low purr escapes Derek and Stiles figures this is what Derek was asking for.
despite not being a jealous person, Derek still likes to make his presence known when Stiles is locked in on a conversation with anyone else. he nips at Stilesβ ear, a kiss at his neck or shoulder, pressing his own body against Stilesβ back, wrapping an arm around his waist β all just to remind Stiles that heβs here. itβs not necessarily that Derek cares who Stiles is talking to or what heβs giving his attention to, Derek just wants a little bit of that attention maybe.
βyouβre just a giant puppy, you know that?β Stiles tells Derek one day.
Derek only grunts in response, giving a gentle enough headbutt to his mate. he probably would never admit it out loud, but he loves when Stiles calls him a puppy. he loves that he doesnβt have to outwardly ask, Stiles just knows when Derek is hungry for his attention and affection.
Derek gets it all when they finally have their moments alone. where Derek can kiss, nip, butt Stiles as much as he wants because he knows Stiles will hold him for hours on end, providing just as much kisses, rubs, and light nips back.
because Stiles loves his giant puppy :3
