[studmuffin]

[ Off to his right. ]

Next time, wake me up with coffee okay?

[lupusalpha]

No point.

[It opens up to a cave, and the cave is right near a cliff overlooking the water.]

[studmuffin]

I would be caff -.

[ He stops though, watches light reflect off the water. ] And now we're in the Batcave.

[lupusalpha]

You would still complain.

Congratulations, Robin.

[studmuffin]

I am not your Robin. [ But his heart gives a little lurch as he moves to the edge. ]

Nobody's ever Robin, Scott said.

[lupusalpha]

Scott would be wrong about that.

If you fall off, you won't die.

[studmuffin]

I'm pretty sure I would.

[ Peering over the edge. ]

[lupusalpha]

Water there is deep, and I know you can swim.

[studmuffin]

[ That has him flashing Derek a grin. ]

Pressure makes me awesome.

[lupusalpha]

Come here.

[He actually opens his arms]

[studmuffin]

Seriously?

[ Fuck, his voice goes a little too soft at the edges. ]

[lupusalpha]

Yeah.

[studmuffin]

[ Stiles moves to him instinctively, steps closer and in to the space Derek offers like he can't help himself. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He eventually closes his arms around Stiles. It's surprisingly careful, just a little tender]

All right?

[studmuffin]

[ He moves into it instantly, pressing his face against Derek's shoulder and letting his fingers curl into his stupidly soft henley. ]

Yeah.

[lupusalpha]

All right.

[He's not going to push it. He doesn't want to know, otherwise.]

[studmuffin]

[ He breathes out slowly, holds on to Derek for something close to too long. ]

Sorry.

[lupusalpha]

About?

[studmuffin]

[ Pressing into him. ]

Everything?

[lupusalpha]

[He doesn't say anything in reply. He just lets Stiles be there, holding onto him, even though he's never been one for this much touching]

[studmuffin]

[ Leaning back eventually, his hands still on Derek's sides. ]

You're getting better at this whole people thing.

[lupusalpha]

It's not a new development, Stiles.

[He used to be really good with people, when he was younger. Before everything went to shit]

[studmuffin]

I like it.

[ A small smile. ] It suits you. Beneath that angry exterior beats the heart of a helpless romantic.

[lupusalpha]

[A scoff, but Stiles is actually right about that.]

[studmuffin]

Scott wants me to move in with him and his mom.

[ Fingers curling tighter. ]
