It's Creepy If You Squint Mansion, Thursday afternoon

[justlurkinghere]

So, it was Thanksgiving and Derek--shockingly--was not in a social mood. Because he was an outgoing social butterfly on most days, you know.

That would be why he was eating Chinese food and watching whatever movie marathon he could find on TV. More accurately he was picking at the food and looking morose.

Family based holidays were no fun for him.

[[For that human shaped thing]]

Stiles wasn't going to Beacon Hills for Thanksgiving since it was like September or October there. He might make a visit this weekend if he felt like he looked well rested enough to see his father. No need to worry him.

Today, however, he was letting himself into the mansion with a McDonalds bag in one hand and a rawhide for Puppy Joe in the other. "Lookit at what I got you for Thanksgiving! It's bigger than you are!"

Oh god it really was.

[justlurkinghere]

"Are you trying to kill my dog?" DAMN IT, STILES.

[robinonadderall]

"I'm trying to treat your dog." With a rawhide that would take a month to finish. "I've decided to treat you too 'cause I'm nice."

Mind out of the gutter, Derek.

"A bag full of apple pies, fresh from McDonalds. Very Thanksgiving-y."

[justlurkinghere]

That got a sigh but also a hesitantly pleased smile. Because he was a complicated guy. "I guess it's better than you baking them."

[robinonadderall]

"Shut up," Stiles said pleasantly. He tossed the bag down on the table and moved to push Derek around until there was room on the couch for him. "I see you bought Chinese food for us to share."

[justlurkinghere]

"Since you brought dessert, sure." Only reason. Clearly.

[robinonadderall]

"That's the Thanksgiving spirit," Stiles said, reaching for an egg roll. "I'm so proud of you."

[justlurkinghere]

"For what?" Having a self pity party?

[robinonadderall]

"For being nice and sharing," Stiles said like it was obvious. "And for letting me watch The Godfather marathon."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek rolled his eyes, sitting back as he fished out an apple pie. "Shoulda known you were here for the cable," he drawled.

[robinonadderall]

"And for your sparkling conversation," Stiles said. "Can't forget that."

[justlurkinghere]

"It's what I'm known for," Derek replied dryly.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles nodded in agreement. "Got any big plans for tonight?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Listen to you talk about which Godfather movie was the best," Derek suggested. Because it was a hardship.

[robinonadderall]

"Ooooh you're in for a thrilling evening," he said. "For the record it's the second one."

[justlurkinghere]

"I never saw them before." He liked Ghost Dad.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles just stared at Derek. STARED.

[justlurkinghere]

...that had been a bad idea, hadn't it? "They're long."

[robinonadderall]

"I don't think we can be friends anymore," he said seriously. "This is almost worse than Scott never seeing Space Battles."

[justlurkinghere]

"How can he not have seen Space Battles?" Stop trying to take the focus off you, Derek.

[robinonadderall]

"How can you have never seen The Godfather?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I have other things to do usually." Like brood.

[robinonadderall]

"Like what?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"...watch what Laura wanted." SO MUCH DUSK.

[robinonadderall]

"You're such a pushover." Another example of this would be the situation right now.
