[ There's cackling from behind Derek before Stiles takes off after him, he's not as fast, of course he's not, but what he lacks in speed he makes up in tactical advantage.
He takes a different path, aiming to cut Derek off at some point. ]
[He almost never does this anymore, runs like this for the sheer joy, for the burst of endorphins. It's like having Laura back, for a second, running through the woods like this.
The pack never does this. He's been too concerned with the alpha pack, he knew they were coming.
When he was a kid he used to do this all the time.
He spots Stiles coming in from the side and crashes into him, both of them tumbling through the woods]
[ He ends up laughing, playfully snapping his teeth at Derek, trying to knock his heavy weight off him before leaping into the trees. Because no matter how old they are they can still play hide and seek. ]
[Derek huffs and takes off after him, slipping slightly on the snow and ice but mostly staying upright. Whatever this is, this moment, it's stupid and silly and Derek doesn't have time for it but he's not stopping, not drawing his eyebrows together in irritation.
There's no supernatural threat. There's nothing out here to be scared of.]

[He says it, finally, not as an accusation but as a fact.]

Come on, little red riding hood.

What big eyes you have.

[He snaps as he hunts]
- tease?

[ Stiles pounces out from the trees in an attempt to knock Derek down. ]
Re: .
Almost.
.
[ Grinning up at him. ]
.
I guess we do that often, too.
.
[ A soft grin. ] You still pull those eyebrows of yours but you have to admit it's fun.
.
.
Sure there isn't.
.
[Said casually.]
.
Wouldn't be the first time.
.
So how did it happen?
