The beach- Monday afternoon/evening

[throughaphase]

Okay, so the weather on the unofficial first day of summer could have definitely been more summery. It wasn't cold or raining, though, just not as warm as Kitty would like for a Memorial Day party. And really, at this point, the weather just needed to stop messing with her plans. It was a shorts-and-bikini-top-under-a-hoodie type of day.

But the posters had been around town for days, there were drinks and snacks set up and music playing, and there was a little portable grill set up that someone else might have to take care of because Kitty didn't really want to. Everything was set up, so hopefully people showed up.


[Woo, no RL plans on a day off! Open beach! Come play!]

"I heard you and Kitty."

Pff. Radio was for losers. Eavesdropping like a creepy stalker for life.

[robinonadderall]

"That's creepy and inappropriate."

[justlurkinghere]

"You talk loud."

[robinonadderall]

"Bullshit. You're creepy," Stiles said. "Though that aspect of your creepiness seems to be inherent to your species."

Which isn't to say Derek didn't have creepy aspects to his personality that was all him.

[justlurkinghere]

"Yeah, Scott's real creepy."

[robinonadderall]

"You obviously haven't seen him on a full moon," Stiles said. "Trust me, the creepy comes out then."

[justlurkinghere]

"Creepy how?" Did he need to break more wrists?

[robinonadderall]

"You know, the whole sit in a dark room and wait for you to come in and turn the lights on creepy," he said. "And he used to try to kill me, but he's better about that when Allison is around."

[justlurkinghere]

What was wrong with sitting in a dark room?

"Better."

[robinonadderall]

"Well he hasn't tried to kill me in awhile," he said. "So, yeah, that qualifies as better to me. She's his anchor."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek made a face at that. "And what'll happen when she's gone?"

[robinonadderall]

"Well the broke up for about the millionth time a few months ago and he seems fine," Stiles said. "I think the hope of her coming back keeps him in line. She's a good anchor, power of human love and all that."

Yeah he had heard that speech from Peter.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek just rolled his eyes. Because Disney love wasn't a good measure of control. "Yeah, and when she dates someone else, I'm sure he'll keep himself in line."

A beat.

"Stop distracting me for the tattoo."

[robinonadderall]

"It's really none of your business." Yes, the nosiest person on the planet was pulling that card.

[justlurkinghere]

Really, Stiles? Really?

"Is it a flower?"

[robinonadderall]

Stiles rolled his eyes. "Yes, Derek, it's a flower. You got me. Now go away."

[justlurkinghere]

Not a flower then. "Is it a name?"

[robinonadderall]

"Weird, this isn't you going away," he said. "You do understand the concept of going away, right?"

[justlurkinghere]

"It's embarrassing, isn't it?" Oh, he was enjoying this too much.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles sighed. "Yes, it's very embarrassing. Now will you please drop it?"

[justlurkinghere]

"No."

[robinonadderall]

Stiles made a strangling motion with his hands, wishing he could hit Derek without breaking his own fingers. "It's a wolf, you stupid asshole! The tattoo is of a wolf!"

He tried to stomp off after saying that but stomping off in the sand wasn't very effective.

[justlurkinghere]

And Derek? Derek was making some very undignified noises as he attempted not to laugh.

[robinonadderall]

"Fuck off!" The bird was so getting flipped at you, Derek. "At least I have an excuse not to have you trying to kill me with jogging any time soon, asshole."

[justlurkinghere]

"You get a week off," Derek shot back. See how nice he was being?
