Mackinac Island, MI - Friday Afternoon

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was possibly no longer allowed to choose the vacation spots after this one. Because, for one, the place was only accessible via ferry. And two, there were no cars, just horses to get people around the small island. Oh, and Derek spooked the horses by existing. Which was fun.

But on the plus side, there was a ton of fudge to be had?

"We should have gone with the beach," Derek muttered, trying to keep his distance from the horses. Because his Instagram perfect vacation was totally not happening as planned.

Joke was on him, it would have gotten hit with a tropical storm.

[For the guy!]

This island wasn't exactly to Stiles' taste but Derek put so much effort into planning that he couldn't complain.

"It's not that bad," Stiles said around a mouthful of fudge.

[justlurkinghere]

"There's horse poop everywhere." It was not. He just had a delicate lil' nose.

[robinonadderall]

"I haven't noticed that much." Again, he had been focused on eating.

[justlurkinghere]

"You're going to ruin all your hard work working out."

Awww, Derek was a lil' grump-wump.

"How much did you even buy?"

[robinonadderall]

"Enough to keep me occupied," Stiles said. "Can't ride the horses."

One, because of Derek being a werewolf. Two, because of who Stiles was as a person.

[justlurkinghere]

It would end in disaster for everyone around them, yes.

"I haven't really been around horses before," Derek muttered. "I thought it would be fine. The dog likes me fine."

The dog was magical and held no fear.

[robinonadderall]

"Are you gonna be a grumpy pants the entire trip?" Stiles asked.

[justlurkinghere]

"No." Just a little bit. "We can't even take a carriage ride."

A ~romantic~ carriage ride.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles did his very best not to laugh at that. "You wanted to take a carriage ride?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek sighed, rolling his eyes because he was wise to you, Stiles. He reached over to snag some fudge for himself.

"It'd keep you from whining about walking everywhere here."

[robinonadderall]

"This island's not that big." And between working out and living in Fandom he was used to it by now. "Other than anything involving horses what would you like to do during this vacation?"

[justlurkinghere]

Not be somewhere that was hotter than hell? Did that count?

"There are historic things to look at." He saw a brochure at the hotel. So. Yeah.

[robinonadderall]

"Oooh, fun," Stiles said, leaning down a little to give Derek a slightly chocolately kiss on the cheek.

[justlurkinghere]

Which made Derek and his surliness deflate a little bit.

"There's lots of places to eat too," he said, leaning into Stiles' space. "And we can go to a bar and you get carded for the rest of your life."

[robinonadderall]

"I thought you were worried about my figure?" he teased.

[justlurkinghere]

"You have to wait to be a cop before you can let go," Derek shot back dryly. Wait until the donut jokes started, Stiles. Just wait.

[robinonadderall]

Ugh, not the donut jokes. So awful.

"And yet you're still trying to stuff me full of food."

[justlurkinghere]

"Maybe I like you soft." Let's be honest, he liked Stiles any way he could be.

[robinonadderall]

"I could so make that dirty," Stiles said. "But this doesn't seem like the place to do it."

[justlurkinghere]

"You dad will never forgive me if I get you arrested," Derek replied with a worried look.

[robinonadderall]

"You know he'd blame it on me."

[justlurkinghere]

"But he'd just sound disappointed in general." And Derek had this weird need to try and not be an overly dramatic failwolf around the man.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles rolled his eyes. "I can't believe you're scared of my dad."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm not scared." He was a little scared. "You're scared of Cora."

Cora was legitimately scary, though.

OOC

Ahahahahaha! My mom just got back from a week at Mackinac, and she was like, "Every other shop is fudge! What's up with that?"
