[ Trying not to move is hard, especially when he's been pretty much taught to keep Derek near him. ]
After we got rid of Peter. The uh - first time. [ After Kate and the Argents and Derek shaking and talking about pack until Stiles had to kiss him quiet. ] Almost a year. Feels like longer.
[ It's pretty clear how much he doesn't want Derek having any of the other betas in his bed. Touch is a werewolf thing, but Derek belongs to him, and teasing or not, his expression says as much. ]
[ He pauses, regards Derek for a moment. ] It's kind of like looking at a photograph. You're you but you're the old you, the you I kind of tend to forget existed.
[ Because his Derek has problems, of course he does, but he has Stiles and the rest of the pack. He has back up. ] It's kind of sad.
[ Shoving at him a little. Hey, not so puny now, huh? ] Don't do that, it's not funny. I worked long and hard to make you the fluffy puppy you are today. It's weird.

At least you're pretty.
.
Have we been together?

.
I trust you.
[It's a statement. He knows himself well enough to know that.]
.
[ Practically vibrating with energy, but he gets it, he does. ] I mean it's not perfect but who is?
.
He lets go but doesn't move away. People move from him.]
This is...different. Do you get that?
.
[ Huffing, teasing. ] I knew you only liked me because I'm a werewolf. Ass.
.
[He takes another moment]
No one crawls into my bed, Stiles. I would have done the same if it were Isaac.
.
Isaac's not allowed to. [ A hint of possessiveness creeps into his voice. ] That would be weird and also no.
.
[There's a slight hint of laughter, there.]
.
That's why we have Erica.
.
You don't want any of them touching me.
.
Not really. But you once almost broke Scott's arm for hugging me so you started it.
.
.
[ Pointing at him. ] That's cheating.
.
So, a year.
.
And you haven't tried to kill me once. I think that's saying something.
.
[Well, not for real, anyway]

.
[That doesn't earn a shove back, but Derek does twist into it.]
.
Well, you're wrong.
.
What do you want to do about this?
.
[ Huffing, leaning back. The moon itches under his skin here. ] It's going to be kind of ... [ Awful. Lonely. His pack aren't here. ]
Maybe you should explain the whole parallel dimension to me.
