Stiles' last two dates hadn't gone well, one ending with him being kidnapped and his date getting mauled and the other ending with his date having a psychotic episode at an ice rink. So he didn't have high hopes for this date going well, though maybe since it wasn't actually a real date disaster would be averted. Or maybe it'll be averted because being on a date with Derek was punishment enough.

Fake date or not, Stiles did manage to put in a little bit of effort in his appearance. Meaning he called the other Derek for fashion advice and that phone call got passed off to Peter because Derek so did not care about Stiles' social life. So he was actually wearing something that wasn't flannel for once because you don't turn down Hale fashion advice, even when given by a psycho.

Since he didn't really care about being polite, Stiles got a table and started eating the rolls before Derek got there. This was so weird. Maybe the world will end before things got too awkward.

[For the "date" primarily, but the post is open of course]

Look, he was only doing this to keep Laurie off his back. possibly in a literal fashion. You take your fake date like a man, Stiles. Because this was just another sign of the apocalypse.

That and your complete lack of flannel.

"What are you wearing?" He was just soooo polite.

[robinonadderall]

"Clothes?" Was this a trick question?

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was so very suspicious about your sudden foray into fashion. "They look good."

Yeah, make it sound like an accusation, Derek.

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah, I called the other you for advice," he said, looking down at himself. "I thought looking better would distract, you know, from my face."

[justlurkinghere]

"I think I'll manage to keep my dinner down when looking at you," Derek replied dryly. "Just barely."

[robinonadderall]

Stiles rolled his eyes. "Not for your benefit, jackass, I'm talking about the waitresses that probably think you're my overbearing boyfriend."

[justlurkinghere]

"Dressing for the waitresses. How will I contain my jealously?"

[robinonadderall]

"Just don't pee on me to mark your territory, people eat here."

[justlurkinghere]

"What has McCall been doing?" SERIOUSLY.

[robinonadderall]

"Okay Scott might be the worst werewolf on the planet but he's not peeing on people," Stiles clarified. "...I don't think he is, anyway."

[justlurkinghere]

Allison's house on the other hand...

Derek just smirked at that, finally taking a seat at the table. Because he was a complete social freak.

[robinonadderall]

"Okay, so just for the record the two dates I've had in my life have both ended tragically so if you lose an arm or something you can't say I didn't warn you," Stiles said. "This is me warning you right now."

[justlurkinghere]

"It's not even a real date, Stiles." So only fake tragedy would befall them.

[robinonadderall]

"Looking back on it I don't think the other two counted as real dates either," he said. "So you should still be on your guard."

[justlurkinghere]

A gremlin would show up for caroling and have an allergic reaction to shellfish any moment now. Though, considering Derek and Stiles, they'd probably ignore it and keep eating.

"I'll keep it in mind."

[robinonadderall]

"I just don't want you to die horrifically before I give you your Christmas presents." He was a nice boyfriend like that. "You can die after if you want though."

Such a nice boyfriend.

[justlurkinghere]

"...you got me gifts." CRAP, WAS HE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO MACY'S FOR LAST MINUTE SHOPPING?

[robinonadderall]

"Yep." And you were going to hate them, Derek. Hate them.

[justlurkinghere]

"No." Like that would work.

[robinonadderall]

"It's too late, I already wrapped them and everything," Stiles said. "You're just gonna have to deal with it and accept my awesome gifts."

[justlurkinghere]

"Am I." DON'T EVEN TRY LYING TO HIM, STILES.

[robinonadderall]

"Well I think they're awesome," he said. Which wasn't a lie, so there. "What are you getting me?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Nothing." Probably a necklace meant for a woman. Or maybe a horrible pair of yoga pants with 'bootylicious' on the seat of them.

[robinonadderall]

"Aw, come on, you're not even gonna leave me a dead bunny or something to show that you love me?" Stiles asked. "So rude."

[justlurkinghere]

Was that deer not enough for you?!

"Very funny. I'm not going to kill an animal for you."
