It's Creepy Because the Eclipse is all Red Mansion, Late Monday night/Early Tuesday morning

[justlurkinghere]

It was another complete lunar eclipse, one that would actually be perfectly placed for north and south America to view it. Which meant about 4 hours of lazy 'not turning into a werewolf' fun times.

Oh, and the special brownies. For people who are adults. So, Derek, Jack and maybe Mike. If Mike felt like putting up with lazy werewolves again.

Because why not?

[NFB! And for the wolfy types/wolfy type adjacent]

"Then don't do it in front of me," Jack decided. "Unless you want me to join in, and I don't think either of you do."

[justlurkinghere]

"He said no on the survey," Derek replied thoughtfully. "He gave me a survey."

Thanks for explaining that, Derek.

[bitten_notshy]

"You did a survey about having sex with me?"

No, Jack. Just no.

[justlurkinghere]

"No, with him." A bear. "Threesomes were on there. I said no."

He might accidentally rip someone's arm off.

[bitten_notshy]

"Oh. They aren't bad," Jack said thoughtfully. "A little crowded, but ... warm."

Jack was starting to feel rather warm himself, as it happened, or he wouldn't have shared this.

[justlurkinghere]

"How many have you had?"

[bitten_notshy]

Jack waved a hand vaguely. "Enough. Two or so."

It depended on how you counted ones where a vampire was involved.

"Why is Stiles surveying you about it?"

[justlurkinghere]

TSK.

"Graduation," Derek said like that explained it. And then pet at Jack's hair. It was the tried and true method Hales being nice to people.

[bitten_notshy]

"Sorry?"

That was an I don't understand that sorry, not a graduation is bad sorry. Jack was into minimalist sentences at the moment. (Also, the hair-patting thing made him make a noise close to a purr.)

[justlurkinghere]

Damn right. Derek's hair pets were the best!

"We're not doing anything until after."

[bitten_notshy]

"Mmmmm." That ... probably required more words, didn't it? Jack shifted his weight to sit up slightly.

"That's good," he said uncertainly. "Give you something to look forward to, all of that."

[justlurkinghere]

"You think?"

[bitten_notshy]

Sort of?

Jack shrugged, tried for a more honest answer. "I'm trying to be supportive. I couldn't do it. But if it's right for you, who am I to judge?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek frowned, curling slightly around Jack. Because of reasons again. "He doesn't seem to annoyed by it."

[bitten_notshy]

"What's he going to do, pin you down and force himself upon you?" Jack asked, smiling a bit to take the sting out of it. "Besides, you're a teacher and he's a student. Better to wait that out."

[justlurkinghere]

"He could find someone who didn't need to wait," Derek muttered.

[bitten_notshy]

"But he likes you," Jack returned. "Let him."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek muttered nothing particularly coherent as he used Jack's shoulder to rest his head on.

[bitten_notshy]

Jack murmured back and let his hand wander up to touch Derek's hair. Stoned wolves were cuddly wolves. "I like you too, all right?"

It seemed like something Derek needed to hear sometimes.

[justlurkinghere]

Because sometimes he did. "I like you too," he muttered, apparently turning Jack into his teddy bear.

[bitten_notshy]

D'awwww.

"Thanks," Jack said, and his smile was genuine. He must have needed to hear it too.

[justlurkinghere]

"Don't go die or anything, okay?"

Such a serious conversation.

[bitten_notshy]

"Wasn't going to," Jack told him. "You aren't allowed to die either."

[justlurkinghere]

Yes, this was perfectly normal.

Derek nodded seriously at that. "I think the brownies are working."

IF THE CUDDLING WASN'T ENOUGH OF A CLUE.

[bitten_notshy]

Well, duh.

"Hope so," Jack told him. "If they aren't we can blame the eclipse."
