No Longer Middle-Aged Mansion, Monday Morning

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was sleeping remarkably well this morning. Possibly because he still had great thoughts of a future family that was loud and large.

No one said he was a normal guy, okay?

That would also be the reason he was still sleeping rather than up and making coffee like he lived in a Folgers commercial. Like normal.

[For that guy!]

Well Stiles was up and getting coffee made. He liked the idea of having a family so his weekend wasn't terrible but he felt tired on the older Stiles' behalf. Four. Kids.

He made his way back up the stairs with two cups of coffee in his hands. And he managed to not spill it!

Derek cracked open an eye at the scent of coffee, but didn't sit up until after he stretched. "This is new."

[robinonadderall]

"You sleeping in?" he asked, handing over a cup. "Yeah it is."

[justlurkinghere]

"It's not that late," Derek replied, taking the cup.

It was really late for him, lbr.

[robinonadderall]

"Aren't you usually up at the buttcrack of dawn?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"Aren't you usually sleeping until I drag you out of bed?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles shrugged and got into bed, careful not to spill any coffee. "Weird weekend."

[justlurkinghere]

"Weird," Derek agreed after too long a pause.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles lifted his eyebrows. Because he noticed that pause, Derek. Explain that pause.

[justlurkinghere]

It was a perfectly normal pause!

"What?"

[robinonadderall]

"The pause." You know the one.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek shrugged. "I don't know. Some of it was nice."

[robinonadderall]

"It was nice," he said. "It was very nice. Still doesn't take away from the weirdness though."

[justlurkinghere]

"We're not even talking kids until you're out of college." Derek would just make sad eyes at babies.

Like you do.

[robinonadderall]

"Not even a little bit of talking?" he asked. "'Cause I don't know how I feel about four kids."

[justlurkinghere]

"What's wrong with four?"

It was a nice, even number.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles just stared for a moment. "Seriously?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Yes, seriously."

[robinonadderall]

"Four is a lot," Stiles said carefully. "That's a lot of kids to have in one house."

[justlurkinghere]

"Maybe in a small house." Derek, don't be petulant.

[robinonadderall]

Oh he was being so petulant. "Do you really think we can handle four kids?"

Stiles thought older!him was stressed out.

[justlurkinghere]

"It seemed like we could." Without a single traumatic, family murdering fire!

[robinonadderall]

"You're right, maybe we should put off discussing it until I'm out of college." Because apparently Derek wasn't going to be reasonable this close to the weirdness.

[justlurkinghere]

"We can't say how many kids we will or won't have," Derek replied with a sigh. "It'll happen however it's going to happen. Maybe next time this happens we'll wake up and have five cats instead."

And Derek would be so sad.

[robinonadderall]

"You hate cats," Stiles said, leaning in to put his chin on Derek's shoulder. "I do want kids with you."
