it’s the middle of the night and stiles’ room is pitch black except for the glowing light of his laptop as he hunches over it in bed. there’s a zoom in to NordVPN on his screen and he’s connected to someplace in Delaware. we think he’s watching porn but he’s actually furiously typing and navigating to supernatural sites. the vpn is on so his dad doesn’t find out. he doesn’t give a shit if his dad knows he’s watching werewolf porn, that’s just one of his extracurricular activities, everyone knows that. but the supernatural world must stay hidden for now. he’s not ready to come out about that one yet.

stiles pays attention to everyone. he practically has files on them. (stiles’ files. files of stiles. miles of files of stiles.) he also observes derek needing to chill the fuck out. so what does stiles do? look up knitting tutorials for the man. he finds the ones on youtube aren’t giving him enough info and the cameras are too shaky and the quality is grainy and stiles is nothing if not nice, okay. he just wants the best for derek.

so he logs onto Skillshare and scrolls until he finds the perfect beginner knitting tutorial. the teacher is a sweet old lady with a soothing voice and it’s just what he wanted. he texts the link to derek and we see him add a few skeins of yarn and knitting needles to his Amazon shopping basket. except they can’t get Amazon as their sponsor so it’s just Scamazon.com instead. stiles has Scamazon Prime so the order will be here tomorrow. he can’t wait to give it to derek and see all his stress melt away. Stiles throws in a couple bath bombs for him too, what the hell.

stiles cooks most meals for him and his dad. they’re healthy, or at least they’re trying to be. but it’s a lot of work meal prepping and cooking in between his schoolwork and supernatural business and saving everyone’s asses every week. so he gets the HelloFresh meal kit.

he picks all the non-bacon options and steers clear of all the keto meals. it’s just that when the kits come, there’s always an extra serving left no matter how much stiles eats. and he doesn’t really want to eat a lot of it because yeah it’s kind of gourmet but it also still sucks very slightly and he just wants a damn pizza once in a while instead of a quinoa bowl.

but he’ll do anything for his dad so he keeps making the meals and having some left over. a thought occurs to stiles which is that someone else he knows could really use a gourmet meal or two, and loves eating healthy as well. so stiles buys a pack of glass tupperware containers (the fancy kind) and we see him packaging up the extra portion of his meals every night and driving them over to the loft. he leaves them on the doorstep before he knocks and then runs away, looking like a little giggling gremlin all the while. it’s like a reverse prank.

derek opens the door suspiciously the first time but stiles’ scent is all over the container. he picks it up and we see him a minute later scarfing it down, letting himself enjoy the meal stiles made for him, the best meal he’s had in a while. he returns the clean container the next day without a word, leaving it on stiles’ desk, and a new filled container is on his doorstep that same night.
