Still Pretty Creepy Mansion on Phoenix Way, Tuesday Morning

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was just not allowed to have a normal week. Though the last few times it had been on the weekends... Not the point! The point is that today he woke up at the tender age of fifteen.

On the day of the full moon.

Which Derek would blame for why he was in the kitchen demolishing all the food they had there.

[For the housemate, but open to any!]

You know, Mike was starting to get used to running into random teenagers when coming into the kitchen for breakfast.

"... Stiles?"

It was a reasonable guess, although the uncertainty in his voice already betrayed he was actually pretty sure the answer was no.

[justlurkinghere]

Hey now, Derek wasn't random! He lived here.

He also froze mid-bite, staring at Mike like he was some foreign animal. With two heads.

[newroutines]

It took Mike a second or two to catch on, but then his face fell in that special 'oh Fandom's up to its shit again' way.

"Aww, man, seriously? Again?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Again what?" ALWAYS THE BABYSITTER, MIKE.

[newroutines]

SIGH.

"Again with the ––" He gestured vaguely at Derek, then realized that probably wouldn't help. Sigh. "You know, whatever. Hi, I'm Mike. And you're Derek, and we both live here."

[justlurkinghere]

"Here?"

[newroutines]

"Yes, here." A pause. "Yeah, I know that's probably weird for you right now."

[justlurkinghere]

"...yeah, pretty weird. It's kind of--" A dump. "Small?"

Also accurate compared to the Hale House.

[newroutines]

Cue slight eyebrow raise.

"Small? It's a mansion."

[robinonadderall]

Sorry, Derek and Mike, now that Stiles was comfortable enough just wandering into your house he was going to do it all the time. A key will be made. Shh, don't question how he does it, it's a magical skill and his secrets will not be shared. He was even talking before he actually found anyone because he figured Derek would hear him anyway.

"Hey, I was wondering if you needed any help with the full---okay what the shit?"

[justlurkinghere]

What the shit indeed. "Who are you?"

AND WHY ARE YOU IN HIS HOUSE?

[robinonadderall]

"Stiles," he said, doing a lot of staring because this might be weirder than the little kid Derek. "Why does this stuff always happen to you?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Nothing's happening to me," Derek replied a little too loudly, trying to wipe smudged mustard off the corner of his mouth.

[robinonadderall]

"Riiiiiight." Because you usually were a baby-faced teenager who seemed to have acquired Stiles' eating habits, Derek. "Are you trying to consume everything in the fridge?"

[justlurkinghere]

And method of dressing. Because he didn't need to wear the colors to match his black, leathery soul yet. That and he was so itty bitty. You could just pinch those cheeks.

The ones on his face. Who are you, Kate Argent? GOD.

"No." Yes. "I was hungry."

[robinonadderall]

"You don't say." Oh pictures would so be happening. Scott could add them to his scrapbook of hilarious Derek pictures. "Is this a full moon thing?"

[justlurkinghere]

The existence of that scrapbook would only encourage Laurie, Stiles. Just sayin'.

"A what?" Derek was so good at lying. Mostly by looking like a puppy of some sort.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles reeled back from that look, slightly horrified that it actually fit Derek while he was like this rather than making him look like someone who stored body parts in their fridge.

"Yeah, you can save that look," Stiles said, looking slightly ridiculous because he had put his hand over his eyes. Smiley teenage Derek would take some getting used to. "Know about werewolves, not a hunter, etcetera, etcetera..."

[newroutines]

Mike was not even remotely surprised by his appearance at this point. Sigh, Stiles was so going to end up with his own room or something.

"Fandom," he said, because that covered everything.

[robinonadderall]

"I'll say," Stiles said. "I don't know if this is better or worse than little kid Derek."

[newroutines]

"Jury's still out on that one," Mike agreed. "I can't even tell if it's good or bad that I'm all normal."

[robinonadderall]

"Would you want to be a teenager again?" Stiles asked. "Were you just as buff back then? 'Cause if you're missing looking like me...don't."

[newroutines]

"Nah, it's not that I miss it." He actually really, really didn't for a good number of reasons. "But if I was hit with the weird at least I wouldn't feel in any way weirdly responsible for anyone else."

[robinonadderall]

"Ah, yeah I get that. I feel that way too." Though Stiles felt like he was responsible for everyone the majority of the time. "Tonight's the full moon. I know adult Derek doesn't need looking after but I'm not sure about this one."

[newroutines]

"Yeah, I noticed, about the moon." He had them highlighted in his calendar, now. "I don't know the first thing about teenage werewolves, think it's gonna be bad?"
