[It's really early - just after dawn - when Derek wakes Stiles up]

Stiles, come on.

[studmuffin]

[ It's a potentially awkward situation but Stiles flails awake and blinks at him in the dim light. ]

Whazzit?

[lupusalpha]

Wake up.

[He tugs at the sheets, and tosses jeans in his face]

Get dressed.

[studmuffin]

[ He groans like he's dying - hangover kicking him firmly in the face as he pulls his jeans over his boxers. He stumbles a little, then hisses. ] What the hell?

[lupusalpha]

We're going out.

[He knows that hungover smell, and he feels no pity]

[studmuffin]

Why?

[ Whining. And then tripping after him. ]

[lupusalpha]

Because you stink.

[Of City and booze]

And you need to get up.

[He's already opening the trapdoor. Scott and his mom are still asleep - it'll just be the two of them]

Get in.

[studmuffin]

I --.

[ Fuck. ] Oh my god, fine.

[ He gropes blindly when he throws himself down into Derek's dumb underground tunnels, shivers because the heat hasn't managed to enthuse into the earth yet. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He pushes Stiles a bit, and after they've walked for about ten minutes, he starts talking]

So what happened?

[studmuffin]

What happened is you made me get out of bed at ass crack o'clock.

[ He crosses his arms over his chest. ]

[lupusalpha]

You smell like you drowned in Jack Daniels.

[studmuffin]

[ Stiles falters in his step, Derek's word choice, the post on the network. It makes his stomach twist. ]

So I got drunk, so what?

[lupusalpha]

Do you want Scott to know, and tell his mom?

[studmuffin]

That I was drunk? She picked me up, Derek. I think she knows already.

[lupusalpha]

You could have called me, you know.

[Keep walking, prisoner 24601]

[studmuffin]

[ He didn't even steal any bread. ]

I didn't want to call anyone. I just wanted to forget for a little while.

[lupusalpha]

I noticed.

[A cranky wolf noise]

[studmuffin]

Are you pissed at me?

[ Twisting slightly to look at him. ]

[lupusalpha]

[There's quiet from the back]

You didn't have to be alone, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

I'm used to being alone, that's the problem.

[ It's been them for the whole year he's been stuck here. And he's glad, he is. But it reminds him too much of the one person he's missing. And how quickly their lives are about to go to shit back home. ]

I'm tired of feeling this way, Derek.

[lupusalpha]

Who do you think you're talking to?

[He's really not good with this. He's terrible with emotions like this.]

I don't exactly go around offering this to everyone.

[studmuffin]

[ He runs two hands through his hair, his shoulders dropping. ]

I know, I do. I'm just ... there's this big weird disconnect now, right? The lives we have here and ... home.

[lupusalpha]

Apparently.

[studmuffin]

[ He makes a noise in the back of his throat. ]

Where are we going?

[lupusalpha]

Catch the sunrise.
