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]

"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.

[justlurkinghere]

They were the outlier on statistics, yes.

"You can't always tell right away!"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles laughed. "You're insane."

[justlurkinghere]

"Wasn't your English teacher once an evil druid?"

[robinonadderall]

"That was in Beacon Hills," he said. "Beacon Hills doesn't count."

[justlurkinghere]

"I think it counts." He would.

[robinonadderall]

"You just want me to leave the dorms."

[justlurkinghere]

"Harpies," Derek insisted. "I'm just trying to make sure no one eats your liver."

[robinonadderall]

"You just want to be able to keep an eye on me at all times," he said. "'Cause you're a paranoid little man."

[justlurkinghere]

"I am not." He so, so was.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles gave him a disbelieving look. "You so are."

[justlurkinghere]

"Am not," Derek muttered incorrectly. "C'mon. You're buying me dinner."

[robinonadderall]

"Aw now you're grumpy."
