The Preserve, Monday Morning

[justlurkinghere]

In Derek's defense, he had noticed an increase of energy today. But he'd assumed it was the sort of restlessness that came along with the season change.

Because he made poor life choices.

Like dragging Stiles' idiot self out running this week. Poor, poor choices. You'd think he would have learned from that singing day.

Derek stood still, listening for anything happening nearby. Because teal deer were a nuisance. Also, he was waiting for Stiles to catch up.

"Hey, don't tell me what I was or wasn't paying attention to," he said, giving Derek's arm a shove. Better than admitting what he was thinking about.

Whoa now. Whoa. With the bossing Derek around in a forceful manner.

And the... Derek lost his train of thought somewhere along the way, taking a step back as he looked down at his arm. Stiles, this was cheating.

Stiles rolled his eyes. Jeez, he was so unappealing Derek looked like he was going to vomit just from Stiles touching his arm. "You're right, this was a bad idea."

He walked past Derek, purposely knocking his shoulder into him as he went by before mumbling, "You should have just jogged with Ms. Day instead."

Wait, who now?

But this was good. Yes. Stiles made at him during this torture meant Stiles staying away from him as well. This was all going according to his master plan that had only just sprung into existence.

Good, good.

Derek huffed in annoyance anyway, watching him stomp off.
