A Home Outside the UMD Campus, Maryland - Wednesday Evening

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was looking for a booty-call house investment property in the Maryland area for cutting down on all those hotels. Yes, a house was somehow the better investment. Just don't ask why rich people do these things. Or why Teen Wolf characters do anything. Just accept it and move on.

On one hand, he wasn't looking for an abandoned shack to lurk in. On the other, he hadn't hired a real estate agent to keep him away from the really shitty properties yet.

That would be why he was looking at a house that had probably been very nice fifty years ago. And frowning at the listing. "This says it has character."

[For the guy]

"No sex dungeon?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Do you want a sex dungeon?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles pretended to think about that for a moment. "Maybe in the house we get after we're married. You do have to rent this one out, after all."

[justlurkinghere]

"It would be niche market to rent out," Derek replied, bumping his shoulder against Stiles'.

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah, the pervert market," he joked. "I feel like I should be protesting more about this."

[justlurkinghere]

"It'll cut down on travel expenses." Clearly the best reason.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles huffed. "Why don't we just admit we're codependent?"

[justlurkinghere]

"We're codependent? Since when?"

[robinonadderall]

"Since always," he said. "Except maybe for a few months after we first met."

[justlurkinghere]

"Does it count if we're engaged now?" Derek asked. Because that made all the difference.

[robinonadderall]

"Are there other engaged couples buying houses for weekend visits?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"...maybe." On Gossip Girl maybe.

[robinonadderall]

"Uh huh." Stiles didn't believe that at all. "What's the next house on your list?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek cleared his throat as he looked over the nearest listing. "It's called 'bohemian.' What should we expect from that?"

[robinonadderall]

"The dank smell of pot," he said. "Seriously, Derek, where are you getting these listings?"

[justlurkinghere]

"The internet," Derek replied, making a face. "I was going to get Mike to help if it needed work."

Since all of them would need work.

[robinonadderall]

"Let's hope these places are within Mike's skill," Stiles said. "This one is beyond hope."

[justlurkinghere]

"Maybe I should hire someone to pick houses."

Who would make high pitched noises of wonder when asking after his budget.

[robinonadderall]

"Like a realtor?" he asked. "Isn't that what most people do?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Probably." Maybe if they weren't Derek. "Laura was the one who invested."

He just brooded and looked pretty.

[robinonadderall]

"Might be a good idea," he said. "Less stress. Less looking at monstrosities like this."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek snorted at that. "You're not enjoying your night out?"

[robinonadderall]

"Oh yeah I'm thrilled with looking at run down houses," he teased. "So much fun."

[justlurkinghere]

"It's an adventure that probably won't end with one of is bleeding," Derek insisted. "Unless one of your classmates is secretly a harpy."

[robinonadderall]

"I'm sure you think my roommate is some evil monster." Some sort of cockblocking monster. Even though Derek and Stiles probably had more sex than any other couple on the planet.
