justlurkinghere | Denny's On the Mainland, Saturday Night

Laura was once again gone. And Derek was totally fine about that. Yeah, totally fine. He was just glaring down at his coffee cup like it offended him on every level possible and would set it on fire with the power of his hatred.

And he was apparently talking to Stiles again.

Well, it had really been more of a kidnapping because the kid had his jeep available to drive them to Denny's while the Camaro was still in Beacon Hills. But, you know, whatever got him a Grand Slam of sadness.

[[NFB, and for the kidnappee!]]

"Tybalt was related to Juliet," Stiles said. "And he's the one that killed Mercutio."

Yeah Stiles was totally going to be a Lit minor in college, don't judge.

Derek just smiled at him for the last part. "And they all ended up dead."

From:

robinonadderall

"Yeah, definitely a bad analogy," Stiles decided. "Let's avoid everyone dying."

From:

justlurkinghere

"Duly noted." Just let Peter in on that plan. Might help.

"You're never going to get Scott to stop obsessing about Allison, just for the record," he said. "It's best to just work around it."

Derek sighed, sitting back in the booth. "Anyone else being bit would be better."

From:

robinonadderall

"Yeah, the alpha feels that way too," Stiles said, like that was helpful. "I'm pretty sure Scott agrees."

From:

justlurkinghere

"Believe me, I know." He was aaaaall alone with his werewolfness. No one he knew wanted to be one.

From:

robinonadderall

"Well the good news with the whole Scott thing is that everyone learns a valuable lesson about not biting people who don't want it," Stiles said. "The alpha offered to bite me and let me be when I said no."

Stiles hadn't even told Scott that, but he figured he probably owed Derek a few secrets.

"That's how it's supposed to be," Derek replied. "It was gift. Not something forced on people."

From:

robinonadderall

"Scott was out of desperation," Stiles said. "Nobody wants to accept the bite from a crazy person."

From:

justlurkinghere

"Crazy." Give him more clues, Stiles. Yesss yessss.

From:

robinonadderall

"I tend to think most murderers are at least a little bit crazy," Stiles said. "And biting Scott without doing your research? Either crazy or stupid. We were both out in the woods that night, two seconds of eavesdropping would be enough to tell I was the better choice."

From:

justlurkinghere

"But you don't want it." Right, Stiles?

From:

robinonadderall

"I don't think so?" That wasn't an confusing answer at all. "I mean, I told him I didn't want it but he said I was lying."

From:

justlurkinghere

"Were you lying?" That was an important question, you know.

From:

robinonadderall

Stiles shrugged. "I don't know."

The decision would be easier to make if he wasn't surrounded by flop alphas.

From:

justlurkinghere

Hey now. You're going to end up in the middle of the Alpha Pack, being fought over.

Derek shrugged. "Then why talk about how much better a werewolf you'd make?"

From:

robinonadderall

"Because I'm just a lowly human and it makes me feel better," Stiles said. "Let me embrace the fact I'm the only one with common sense, okay?"

From:

justlurkinghere

Hey, Derek had some common sense. Sometimes. About fashion.

That earned him an eye roll. Because he was a big fan of eye rolling. "You would be an even bigger pain in the ass as a werewolf. But you wouldn't be trying to claw your way into a hunter's pants."

Hopefully. Chris was pretty attractive, though...

From:

robinonadderall

"Well I don't know, Lydia Martin proves I clearly like unattainable badasses." So Chris defintely counts there. "But I doubt being a werewolf would make me less of a plague...so okay, yeah, I probably wouldn't claw my way into a hunter's pants. Or anybody's pants."
