Still Working On A Name House, College Park, MD - Saturday Afternoon

[justlurkinghere]

Today was Derek and Stiles' anniversary. And Stiles' complete refusal to allow Derek to spend money on gifts meant he was spending the morning getting things ready for a great day.

And burned all the receipts. So nyah, Stiles.

He squinted down at the moderate success of a Pinterest inspired brownie recipe as part of said gift. In his defense, it was also the least expensive thing he planned. And the ugliest.

[For the guy!]

Stiles broke his own rule about the gift giving thing. Sorry not sorry, Derek.

He made his way downstairs when he smelled chocolate, still dressed in pj pants and one of Derek's shirts since he figured they weren't going anywhere today. Since that cost money. "What's going on here?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I made you brownies." They looked lumpy and sad. Fuck you, Pinterest. You preach lies.

[robinonadderall]

"Aww, thank you," he said, shuffling over and looking them over. "They look...great."

[justlurkinghere]

"You are such a liar," Derek said with a dramatic sigh. "I don't think the peanut butter cups were supposed to clump together."

That's right. He tried to make your favorite.

[robinonadderall]

"I'll still eat them," he said, kissing Derek's cheek. "You can't mess up brownies."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek huffed again, but leaned into the kiss to make it easier on Stiles. "No fancy dinner tonight, so I had to try something new."

[robinonadderall]

"So you're blaming this on me then?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"Completely."

[robinonadderall]

Stiles huffed. "So mean. And on our anniversary too."

[justlurkinghere]

"How do you deal with me?" Derek asked, wrapping an arm around Stiles' waist.

[robinonadderall]

"I ask myself that every day," he joked.

[justlurkinghere]

"It probably helps that I feed you sometimes." Sure, that was the reason. "Usually better than this."

[robinonadderall]

"They're fine, Derek," Stiles insisted. "Don't brood over brownies."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm not."

He was.

"I just want today to be great."

[robinonadderall]

"It doesn't have to be perfect," Stiles said, leaning against Derek. "We've got a lot more anniversaries ahead of us."

[justlurkinghere]

That just made Derek grin like an idiot and kiss him. Congratulations on bringing the sappy before Derek could, Stiles.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles was very happy he could still make Derek grin like an idiot. He kissed Derek for a few moments before pulling back slightly, still remaining close. "So what have you got planned today?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I was going to make you a nice dinner and then maybe a little making out on the couch."

That was it. Sure.

[robinonadderall]

"I like that plan," he said, kissing Derek again. "Somewhere in all of that I have to give you your gift."

[justlurkinghere]

"You got me a gift?" THAT WAS RUDE, STILES. THERE WAS A GIFT BAN.

[robinonadderall]

"Just a small gift." Which wasn't technically a lie. It was small. Size-wise.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was still going to give him a disapproving look. Even though he bought a house for Stiles. "Is it for both of us?"

That was the wiggle room on that gift ban.

[robinonadderall]

"Yes?" No. No it was not.

[justlurkinghere]

"You are such a liar." But Derek was going to let this slide because it was their anniversary. "Next year I get to take you on a trip."

[robinonadderall]

"Fine." If only because that counted as a gift for the two of them. "I'll allow that."
