Pretty Damn Christmas-y House, College Park, MD - Friday

[justlurkinghere]

Derek had woken up at his normal time despite the holiday, wandering down to the kitchen to make coffee for the day. Because coffee.

And the fact that gift giving had been banned for financial reasons. Which was just ridiculous.

So, instead, he was going to make bacon. A lot of bacon. Hopefully that would lure Stiles out of bed.

[[For the guy! and SP]]

"You're no fun."

[justlurkinghere]

"I can wrap yours if you want." They were terrible.

[robinonadderall]

He chuckled. "You'll wrap your own gift?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Might be fun."

[robinonadderall]

He huffed, leaning over to place his empty plate on the coffee table. "If you can manage that while I'm asleep I'll be impressed."

[justlurkinghere]

"You'd probably hit me in your sleep," Derek muttered, hugging him close as the movie started.

[robinonadderall]

"Probably," he said, sliding his hand into Derek's hair so he could get his pet on during the movie. Until he fell asleep, that is.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek hummed, closing his eyes to shamelessly enjoy that. "Or say something in your sleep to ruin the mood."

[robinonadderall]

"I've never done that."

[justlurkinghere]

"Pretty sure you have."

[robinonadderall]

"What have I said?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"Last time?" Derek pretended to think about it. "Something about an octopus."

[robinonadderall]

"I don't believe you," he said, tugging on Derek's hair playfully.

[justlurkinghere]

Oh no. Not the hair pulling.

"No, I'm sure it was about an octopus. Are there some things I should know?"

[robinonadderall]

"I hate you." So there.

[justlurkinghere]

"That is such a lie."

[robinonadderall]

"Is not," he lied. "Watch the movie."

[justlurkinghere]

"Fine," Derek said with a sigh. "Keep petting me."

[robinonadderall]

"I suppose I can do that." It was such a hardship, really.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek hummed again, breathing in the scent of them and the contentment of the day. "I guess this is better than gifts."

[robinonadderall]

"It is," he murmured, petting Derek's hair. "We don't need gifts."

[justlurkinghere]

"Togetherness and all that being the true meaning of the holiday." And watching bad movies.

[robinonadderall]

"Now you're getting it," he said. "Those Christmas specials have paid off."

[justlurkinghere]

"Bah. Humbug," Derek teased.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles smiled, already feeling tired between breakfast and Bruce Willis' dulcet tones. "Are you going to have to be visited by ghosts?"
