The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was back at work after that fun week in the dungeon. Which meant the usual amount of torment from the DJ. Because the week wasn't complete without playing some horrible music while Derek attempted to stock the bar.

This week?

Justin Bieber.

His ears were bleeding

[[OCD free!]]

Oh Derek, Stiles hoped you didn't think you'd be getting away from him that easily. The only reason he hadn't been right behind Derek on the way to the bar was because he got caught up in another phone call with his father.

"So just as an FYI, nothing too big to worry about, my father might literally kill you 'cause I'm like 90% sure he thinks last week you whisked me off to some remote area to deflower me," Stiles said. "Though how that explains me missing for a week in his mind I don't even know. His imagination must be a vast, dark, evil place where he clearly overestimates your stamina."

"...what." STILES, THIS WAS NOT WHAT HE WANTED IN THIS FAKE RELATIONSHIP.

[robinonadderall]

"It was Scott's fault!" Wasn't that the cause of most of Derek's problems?

[justlurkinghere]

...he was. But that didn't explain this!

"Why--did you correct him?"

[robinonadderall]

"What was I supposed to say?" he asked. "I couldn't explain the whole dungeon of evil thing to him!"

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't know," Derek said, rolling his eyes. "Anything that didn't involve me committing a felony?"

[robinonadderall]

"The age of consent in Maryland is sixteen." Why did he know this off the top of his head?

[justlurkinghere]

Yes, Stiles. Why did you know that?

Derek gave him a look that questioned every single time Stiles stole his couch or bed.

[robinonadderall]

"Don't flatter yourself, I also know the entire history of male circumcision," Stiles said, rolling his eyes. "When I read something I remember it."

[justlurkinghere]

"Stay off Wikipedia." Seriously.

[robinonadderall]

"I'm surprised you know what Wikipedia is." Because seriously, Derek.

[justlurkinghere]

"I went to high school." And he used Internet Explorer.

[robinonadderall]

"Sorry, sorry " he said. "You're just not the most tech savvy person in the world."

Kitty wasn't here to check up... except that was a total lie and she was only really here to check up.

"Sounds like things are back to normal," she said, frowning at the DJ booth.

[justlurkinghere]

"I think he might be deaf." It was the only explanation.

[throughaphase]

"I think he might be a Belieber," Kitty said, taking a seat. "Or he hates all our ears."

[justlurkinghere]

Excuse Derek while he judged you for using the term 'Belieber', Kitty. Judging you so hard.r

[throughaphase]

"Oh, please, I've been on the Internet," Kitty said.

[justlurkinghere]

"That's not an excuse."

[throughaphase]

"I'm not saying I am one," Kitty explained. "I'd rather take to my eardrums with a power drill than listen to this. But I've heard the term."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek rolled his eyes like a mature person. "Drink?"

[throughaphase]

"Just a beer," she said, wondering if she'd get it this time or not.

[justlurkinghere]

She was lucky he didn't care too much about getting in trouble with Eric. "Settling back in?"

[throughaphase]

"Mostly. Clint and I are going away for a few days. I think I'm just trying to look ahead to that," she shrugged. Most times she'd call it running away from her problems, but it was harder to call it that when you didn't immediately flee. "You?"

[justlurkinghere]

"Stiles' dad apparently thinks I stole his son away for an illicit affair." This is just awkward on so many levels.
