Derek loves Stiles

And they’re so flirty and horny, oh my god. Derek tries to be friendly and all but jesus christ. He calls Stiles like “you have to come and save me. There’s like five of them now. They brought camping chairs, Stiles. Just to watch.”

Stiles shows up in like 10 minutes, hero that he is, and somehow manages to scare them off by just being shamelessly touchy grabby and possessive, just making it crystal clear that Derek is his, thank you very much.

And he puts the whole pack in danger one day by running off, just to enjoy some freedom in the woods. And the wolves go out to look for him and there are hunters all over the land, and the Argents are after them, and Stiles doesn’t know it, but he also puts Derek’s life in danger because he’s being hunted by Kate Argent.

And when they get back the wolves refuse to speak to him until he’s paid up. As it turns out, werewolf punishments are pretty rough and pretty public, but since Stiles is human, Laura orders Derek to sort it out just between the two of them and choose something more fit for a human.

Derek is a softie and he’s like “if it was just up to me we would forget about this, but you know…you put everyone in danger today. You left us vulnerable. You can’t do that.”

Stiles apologizes but that’s clearly not good enough, because Derek awkwardly pulls out a belt and is like “well, should we just get it over with?”

Stiles crawls up the bed and away from Derek like “Woah woah woah, calm down there. What are you doing with that??”

Derek just looks confused, eyebrows drawn together. “I thought this was how you humans do it.” He brings the folded leather down on his own ass with a smack. “On your backside, like that?”

“Yeah, but it fucking hurts!” Stiles exclaims, scrambling away when Derek comes closer.

And a few minutes later you have feral Stiles running around and throwing things across the room at Derek, who’s just a little baffled at this point. He genuinely doesn’t understand what the big deal is. You do something wrong, you pay for it. That’s how it works. Right?
