Stiles Stilinski / Derek Hale
Rated: G
Written for the Teen Wolf AU Fest ( @twaufest )
Week 3: Garden Gnomes
Summary: Stiles just wants to enjoy his backyard in peace. His new neighbor seems hell-bent on ruining thatāmostly with his creepy taste in garden decor.
Read on AO3
Read a preview below the cut!
āStop being a stalker and leave your new neighbor alone.ā
āIām not being a stalker! Iām in my own house; I canāt be a stalker from inside my living room.ā Stiles puts his phone on speaker and balances it on the window ledge so that he can more easily pull down just a single blind. āI just donāt get it. It doesnāt make sense.ā
Stiles hears the clanking of a cage opening and mewing sounds as Scott huffs on the other end of the line. āGardening is a perfectly normal hobby.ā
āItās not the gardeningāitās the gnomes! They are creepy!ā
āTheyāre cute.ā
āThey are not cute. They are weird little demon statues waiting to take your soul.ā
Scott sighs. āYou really should lay off the b-horror movies. A couple of months ago, you were convinced that werewolves were surrounding your house.ā
The blind snaps back into place as Stiles releases it to pick up his phone and glare at it. āIn my defense, there were glowing eyes just past the fence line.ā
āYes, that family of raccoons was very scary.ā Scott doesnāt even sound mocking. He sounds like heās placating a small child.
Stiles sets the phone back down and carefully pulls the single blind back down. His eyes narrow as they land on two garden gnomes stare back at him from the other side of the chain-link fence. He wonders how long it would take tall shrubs to grow if he planted them along his side of the fence. They wouldnāt help with the view from his upstairs bedroom window, but then he wouldnāt have to see the creepy gnomes from his kitchen, living room, and backyard. Of course, then he also wouldnāt get to see his very attractive neighbor doing all that sweaty landscape work either. It really is a no win situation.
āIt just doesnāt make sense. He barely says āhi.ā Heās always glaring and broody and is in a perpetual bad mood. Shouldnāt he have⦠I donāt know⦠like angry garden decorations?ā
āAngry garden decorations?ā Scottās voice sounds further away, and thereās more kitten mewing. Stiles wonders briefly if thereās another abandoned litter he can come cuddle soon, but he refocuses. He needs validation, damn it!
Stiles huffs loudly. āI donāt knowāwhatever garden decorations dark broody people have! Probably none. That would be more normal, right? It should be, like, plain and boring to go with his resting murder face! Ughāheās the worst.ā
āIs this because he doesnāt talk to you?ā
āNo.ā Stiles glares at the garden through the small slit.
Scott sighs again.
āIt wasnāt like I was talking to him all the time! I was just trying to introduce myself. Be a good, friendly neighbor! Whatever. Itās fineāI get it. Heās all Adonis levels of hot, and probably has all hot, cool friends, and doesnāt need to be friendly with his dorky neighbor. And itās great, really. I can go outside and have some peace and quiet without someone constantly trying to talk to me about their roses. He can do his thing and I can do my thing.ā
His neighborās house sits around the patio and garden in an L-shape, so that the patio partially faces Stilesās property. With his last neighbor, the layout was the source of much annoyance. Mrs. Milpeper insisted on talking to him every time he was in his own backyard, acting like it was just an extension of her own space. Even if he had friends over or was on the phone (and once on a work Zoom call), sheād start up a conversation with Stiles. She was a nice lady, but Stiles really didnāt want to have to talk to her every time he went outside in his own backyard. Sheād even wave to him when sheād catch sight of him in his kitchen or living room windows.
Then the new guy moved in and Stiles spent a good few days thrilled at the garden layout, especially when he realized that Derek liked to work on his yard shirtless. Stiles finally mustered up the courage to go over to the fence line to introduce himself, but all he got was a muttered name, Derek, a quick nod, and a look that could curdle milk before the man went right back to shoveling a large hole that later turned out to be for a Japanese Maple. Stiles hovered at the fence line, his face heating up before awkwardly turning and going back into his house. Heās been avoiding his backyard since.
āPlus, thatās not even the issue. Itās not about him not talking to me. Itās about the gnomes! Serial killers shouldnāt have flowery backyards with happy creepy garden gnomes. They should have bare patches of grass, and, like dubious-looking sheds and shit. And maybe a door that looks like it goes to an underground bunker.ā
āLet me see if Iāve got this straightā¦ā Thereās some shuffling and then the whine and clash of a metal crate shutting. āYou would be okay if your new āserial killer neighborāāā The sarcasm is loud and clear. āāput a shed and an entrance to a bunker in his backyard, but because heās planting flowers and putting out garden gnomes, youāre suspicious?ā
āCreepy garden gnomes,ā Stiles corrects.
āSure.ā
āWhatever.ā
āIf they bother you that much, get a privacy fence.ā
āThose are expensive. I looked into those after Mrs. Milpeper interupted my one and only date in the last year, remember?ā
Scott makes a sound that Stiles interprets as heās either lost interest in the conversation or has moved onto a more difficult task with an animal. Stiles should probably let him go so that he can do whatever vets do all day.
He stares for another minute at the stupid gnome faces with their stupid grins. āI should just turn them around. Maybe he wouldnāt notice.ā
āStiles. Do not go into your neighborās yard.ā
āTheyāre probably sentient anyways. Maybe heāll think they moved on their own.ā
āIf they are sentient wouldnāt that be a good reason to not touch them?ā
āUgh. Fine. I should probably let you go anyway.ā
āSure,ā Scott chuckles. āGood talk.ā
āWhatever, man. Iāll see you Saturday. You know, unless Iām killed by sentient evil gnomes before then.ā
āSee you Saturday, Stiles.ā
Stiles doesnāt move to hang up, letting Scott end the call. He stares at the gnomes for another minute and then finally releases the blind. It snaps into place with a click as he grabs his phone and heads over to the sofa. With a sign, he plops down on it and grabs the remote. After a minute of flipping through the horror options in his queue, he settles for one about a giant lizard paralyzing people in a small town. Itās still less creepy than those stupid gnomes.
