St Pete Beach, FL - Friday Evening

[justlurkinghere]

So, apparently everyone was going to use Labor Day weekend as one last hold onto summer. Who knew? (Other than everyone.)

Derek hadn't even considered that when he'd dragged Stiles away from campus after his last class to drive down to Florida in the sensible soccer mom car that he'd rented.

And now he was watching the crowded city with a deeply put upon expression.

"Next time no restrictions on spending." Because privacy.

[For the modded guy and SP]

"I don't think restrictions are going to stop places from being crowded on Labor Day weekend." If Stiles allowed himself to believe that Derek could afford a private island or something his head would explode. Let him keep his delusions.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek gave him a look, but allowed those delusions to continue. Because his inexplicable wealth would probably need explaining. Can't have that.

"At least the hotel is nice."

Even if he'd end up glaring at people on the beach all weekend.

[robinonadderall]

"Extremely nice," he said. "The hotel suite is nicer than my house."

[justlurkinghere]

"You wanted a big tub." Clearly it was all Stiles' fault.

[robinonadderall]

"Oh like you don't benefit from the big tub."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was wounded by such an accusation! Wounded.

"I didn't say that." He just implied it.

[robinonadderall]

"You better not 'cause it'd be untrue," he said. "So what do you want to do first for our romantic reasonably priced vacation?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek failed to suppress a smile as he curled a hand around Stiles' hip possessively. "Dinner? A romantic walk on the beach?"

Where it was only... moderately crowded with the sun setting soon.

[robinonadderall]

"We can take a walk," Stiles said, putting an arm around Derek's waist. Weren't they cute? "We can order room service later."

[justlurkinghere]

They were definitely that couple.

"I can live with that," Derek replied, seeming to radiate happiness at the arm around his waist.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles smiled. "You love this."

[justlurkinghere]

"We're on vacation, of course I do," Derek replied, gleefully skipping around the point.

[robinonadderall]

"No, you love this," he said, squeezing Derek's waist. "The cuddliness."

[justlurkinghere]

Okay, maybe a little. "It's nice."

[robinonadderall]

"Even with the crowds?"

[justlurkinghere]

"As long as no one gets too close." To Stiles. He was a jealous little man.

[robinonadderall]

"How close is too close?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"Two feet?" That wasn't too bad, right?

[robinonadderall]

"Two feet seams reasonable," Stiles said with a nod. "Except on, like, crowded elevators."

[justlurkinghere]

"Elevators would be an exception to the rule."

Really, guys?

[robinonadderall]

"What are we going to do if someone breaks the rule?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

Glare a lot and tenderly clutch Stiles to his bosom.

"Make they back off?"

[robinonadderall]

"You are pretty good at scaring people away," Stiles said. "Except for me, of course."

[justlurkinghere]

"Except for you," Derek agreed. "What'll you do if people get too close to me?"

[robinonadderall]

"Punch them in the face."
