[lupusalpha]

You know what I mean.

[studmuffin]

You mean us, right? We're never going to be pretty.

[lupusalpha]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[studmuffin]

I don't want pretty. I don't want something perfect. I don't care if it's a clusterfuck from day one, Derek.

[ A sigh, resting his chin on his knee and looking out from the cave opening. ] I just want to feel something. To have one thing that's right.

[lupusalpha]

You just need to know that.

[That it won't be pretty, or perfect, or anything neat.]

[studmuffin]

[ Twisting to look at him. ]

You think I don't know that?

[lupusalpha]

I think you're young.

[studmuffin]

[ He shrugs. ]

I am. But also I've managed to survive our lives so I figure that works in my favour. I like you, you like me. We could die tomorrow, Derek. I don't want to die without trying.

[lupusalpha]

You're not going to die tomorrow.

[studmuffin]

[ Eyeing him. ]

Derek, I want to stay with you. Doesn't that mean anything?

[lupusalpha]

[He pulls him close for a minute. Yes. Yes it does.]

[studmuffin]

[ He's quiet while they watch the sun rise, but eventually he pipes up again. ]

So, are you giving in yet?

[lupusalpha]

I think we determined that, didn't we?

[studmuffin]

You're totally my boyfriend. [ Sing-song. ] I win.

[lupusalpha]

[A snort]

I don't think you should be too proud of that.

[studmuffin]

Are you kidding me?

[ Shifting to press his knee against Derek's. ] I think I've been thinking about you with a mix of fear and lust since we met.

[lupusalpha]

Charming.

[But he's almost laughing, so]

[studmuffin]

We have palpable sexual tension. [ He's mostly joking, trying to get Derek to laugh. ] Danny totally thinks so.

[lupusalpha]

Right, because Danny is a great judge of our sexual tension.

[studmuffin]

Well, I could say Matt but thinking about him makes me want to stick Popsicle sticks in my eyes.

[lupusalpha]

[A cranky, growly noise]

[studmuffin]

[ He laughs though, pleased despite everything. ]

Cute.

[lupusalpha]

Cute?

[studmuffin]

You're cute.

[ Stretching his legs out in front of him. ] You like to pretend you're not but you're totally just a cranky puppy.

[lupusalpha]

Excuse me?

[Oh now he sounds displeased.]
