House Without A Name - College Park, MD - Thursday Morning

[justlurkinghere]

For February the weather was turning out to be... a thing. That was the reasoning behind Derek suspiciously drinking coffee while looking out the window at it.

He felt his paranoia over nice things was perfectly justified, thanks.

It was almost as though it was taunting him and his awful garden with how springlike it was. Which meant it was going to snow and soon. It just had to, right?

Damn global warming.

[for that guy who lives there]

Meanwhile Stiles was staring at Derek glaring out at the yard with his own cup of coffee in his hand. The last time he had seen Derek glare that hard at someone it was at the nogitsune.

"What is wrong with you?"

[justlurkinghere]

Wasn't it nice that the only thing Derek had to aggressively glare at now was the weather?

"Isn't it supposed to still be chilly out?"

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah, it's February," Stiles said. "And the groundhog predicted a long winter."

Guess you shouldn't trust a rodent to be a weatherman.

[justlurkinghere]

Just because that rodent didn't have a fancy degree didn't mean his arbitrary predictions weren't valid.

"I can't believe I miss California."

Where it was flooding, Derek.

[robinonadderall]

"What's wrong with it being nice outside?" he asked. "Aside from, you know, being a harbinger for the earth's doom."

[justlurkinghere]

"The harbinger thing sort of sticks in the mind," Derek replied dryly.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles walked up behind Derek, putting his chin on his shoulder. "Still no reason to brood at the lawn."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm not brooding," he said broodingly.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles huffed. "You're totally brooding."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek huffed, leaning back against him a little. "Things are too nice. That usually means something bad."

[robinonadderall]

Stiles sighed. "I know, it's weird. But can't we just enjoy it?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm enjoying it." In his own way. "I'm just suspicious."

[robinonadderall]

"You don't seem like you're enjoying it."

[justlurkinghere]

"More now that you're here." Such a sap.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles chuckled, kissing the back of Derek's neck before moving to grab his coffee again. "I don't deserve you."

What with the snappiness and everything.

[justlurkinghere]

"Are you talking to me or the coffee?" Derek teased.

[robinonadderall]

"Oh I definitely deserve coffee," he said. "Always."

[justlurkinghere]

"It's why you keep me around, right?" Derek asked, turning away from his brooding to look at him instead. "Coffee before school."

[robinonadderall]

"That and the daily sex."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm okay with this," he decided, leaning in to kiss Stiles.

[robinonadderall]

"Okay enough to stop brooding at the lawn?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"I wasn't even brooding," Derek grumbled oh so incorrectly.

[robinonadderall]

"What were you doing then?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"...thinking about joining the neighborhood watch?" Yes, because Derek really wanted to hang out with his neighbors.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles laughed. "I would love if you did that. The neighbors love you."
