Summary
“Hey – isn’t that the cat of the guy you’ve been pining after?” she asks, biting her lip as she suppresses a laugh, “Is that?”
“Yes” Derek says dryly, “Probably his girlfriend’s.”
“You don’t know that” Laura says, picking up the cat an depositing it in Derek’s arm, “Maybe they’re his.”
Which doesn’t help at all – because now Derek has an extra visual to pine after.
“Sure” he sighs, hearing Laura shut the door behind her a cursing to himself as he turns and is suddenly facing -.
(PS; the title is not a typo ;) )
“My cat steals underwear and I come home to find you chasing my cat to get your underwear back.”Series

Summary
“You soaking in your own dirt yet?” it reads. Cora is about six years younger than him (she just turned 22) and helps out on the retreat during the summer to make some extra money for college.
He shakes his head and snorts, making a picture of his face surrounded by bubbles and sends it to her in response with the caption “I like it dirty ;) ”.
His phone pings again five minutes later and frowns as an unknown number flashes on the screen, informing him he just received a picture.
He clicks it curiously to reveal another man, much in the same position as Derek, sitting in the tub and his face decorated with a foam beard. The picture is captioned: “I’ll help you get clean ;)”.
“I sent a selfie of myself in the tub to the wrong number and you responded back with another selfie. Holy shit you’re really attractive.”

Summary
“NO” Stiles says, louder than he had wanted to say it – causing everyone to turn around and face him, “Uhm – Sorry. I was just really looking forward to my cupcake of the week. Can’t you miss like – one?”
The man just stares at him, as if it’ll make the entire situation disappear.
“What could you possibly need so many for?” he asks, “Besides, you are clearly not going to eat them. By the looks of it you’re one of those people that actually uses their gym membership.”
“I need them for work” he growls, which would scare Stiles if he hadn’t been raised by a sheriff, “Can you please move out of the way.”
“No, not unless you give me one” he says, crossing his arms and ignoring the attention he's drawing towards himself, “Besides, percentages say that at least one of your colleagues will be gluten intolerant or something, or have diabetes, and won’t be allowed to eat them.”
“Hello I’m your boss and you’re the new employee who just saw me shove an entire cupcake into my mouth.”

Summary
“Hi” he says, Derek looks at him, confused at first but then his face morphs and he smiles widely, “So – uhm – Derek.”
“Stiles” the man replies, his eyes raking over Stiles’ body, he’s ready to say something else when the guide – Lizzie, her name was – starts talking again.
“This is where the married couples get housed” she says, gesturing towards Derek and Stiles, “As you can see, you’d have a bit more room and privacy than the regular dorms.”
“Looks pretty nice” Stiles says, giving Derek a small shove with his elbow, “See, Derek, this could be ours if we were married.”
The group is already moving on to the next building, Stiles and Derek following them at the end of the line, “We’ve met less than an hour ago and you’re already proposing?” he asks, quirking an eyebrow at him.
“Why waste time” he jokes as they follow the group, “I mean, according to dear Lizzie we already look like a married couple.”
“I’ve never talked to you before but the teacher just used us as an example for a scenario where we are married.”

Summary
“You’re watching the Lion King” Stiles says after a while, looking at the little screen over the man’s shoulder, “No wonder you were crying.”
“I wasn’t crying” he says defensively, as he wipes his eyes dry with the back of his hand, “Shut up.”
“I’m not judging” Stiles says, and he actually sounds sincere, “I always cry when watching the Lion King. I used to watch it with my mom before she – uhm.”
“I’m watching The Lion King on my phone and I’m trying to hide the fact I’m sobbing uncontrollably but you notice anyway.”

Summary
Stiles doesn’t really notice that everyone’s already packed and ready to leave. They don’t really wait for him – since he has his own transportation – and Isaac is already in his room. Somehow it’s just him and Derek standing in the living room and Stiles nervously looking for his bag.
Derek’s already dressed for bed, wearing a ratty shirt and boxers, and throws Stiles an impatient look.
“Sorry, dude” he says, “I can’t find my bag, that’s all. And I need it, because my keys and driver’s license are in it.”
“Oh, I’ll help you look” Derek says, giving Stiles a look he can’t quite decipher. He finds it eventually and passes it to Stiles. But since Stiles is a complete klutz, he misses and the bag drops. The contents spilling over the floor – including the stuffed bunny. Derek stares at it for a moment, and Stiles meets his gaze nervously as he watches Derek bend down and pick it up.
“You dropped your – bunny” he says, a mix of surprise and mocking in in voice.
“Please don’t tell anyone that I carry a stuffed animal around with me and even talk to it.”

Summary
There’s someone hanging over him.
“Oh fuck! Are you okay?” the man asks as Stiles grabs his eyes and groans.
“No, I’m not” he says, “I’m dead. Someone just killed me. I’m so not okay!”
“You look pretty alive to me” the man says, frowning at him.
“Nu – uh” he says, pointing at the person hanging over him, “People like that don’t exist in the real world. Ergo – I’m dead. That, or I’m hallucinating.”
“This horrible umbrella won’t extend! Oh shit I just hit you in the stomach/crotch! I’m so sorry.”

Summary
“That’s him” she whispers, giving him another slight shove. He’s caught off balance and trips, face first into someone’s crotch, dragging him along in his fall.
He scrambles backwards, “Oh fuck” he feels his cheeks go bright red and slowly looks up to meet the man’s eyes and he freezes. Because those eyes, and that face, and his – everything. Derek’s never seen anyone that beautiful in his entire life, at least not someone that beautiful in real life.
The man gives him a concerned look, “Dude, are you okay?” he asks, the man sounds genuinely worried and his tongue flicks out to lick his bottom lip.
“Are you?” he asks, trying desperately to not look at the man’s crotch. And failing desperately.
“Yeah dude, I’m perfectly fine” he frowns, patting his crotch, “I’m wearing protection.”
“I just tripped and fell face first into your crotch, god end my life now please.” AU

Summary
Derek is startled when his phone goes off at 3am. Blinking sleepily as he grabs it from his bedside table and answered it with his name.
“Hi” a voice he doesn’t recognize replies, “Do you know the meaning of life?”
“Who is this?” Derek asks, suppressing a yawn.
“Me? I’m nobody” he says, a heavy sigh, “Nobody important, anyways.”
Derek doesn’t really know what to say, another beat of silence.
“Why do people cheat, Derek” the man sighs heavily, “One moment they whisper 'I love you’s' in your ear, the next they’re fucking your project partner in your own bed.”
“Hey you called this number at like 3AM and we talked about some pretty heavy shit do you remember any of that?”

“Ouch” he lifts his hand and touches his head. Yup, that’s definitely blood.
“Ouch indeed” the man smiles brightly – fuck, he’s gorgeous, “Ready to get up?”
“I don’t want to” he pouts, closing his eyes, “Just leave me be.”
“No can do, man” he smiles again, “I called an ambulance for you. You need to get up.”“I drunkenly tried to fight you and knocked myself out but you were kind enough to take care of me till I woke up.”

Summary
Derek’s just minding his own business and checking his phone when it happens. Someone behind him shouts “Scotty boy” and the next thing he knows someone slaps his ass and he freezes completely, slowly turning around to be greeted by a pair of big brown eyes and a smile that is quickly fading and being replaced by a shocked expression.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry” he says, taking a step backwards, “I thought you were Scott.”
“I figured from the ‘Scotty boy’” he comments dryly, trying to keep calm, “You didn’t mean to, it’s okay.”
“No, it is so not okay” he says, shaking his head, “I don’t know what you’ve been through. That was sexual harassment, you could file a complaint.”
“I won’t file a complaint” he says, slightly surprised by the man’s response.
“You should. I mean, not that I want you to. I could lose my job” he shakes his head, “You should. I’m so sorry.”
“I thought you were my friend so I slapped your ass in greeting.”

Summary
“No Scott! That is so not how it went” Stiles says, shaking his head, “He swung his arm backwards first, like this –.”
He lifts his arm to demonstrate and swings, which is when he feels it collide with something and he freezes.
“See” Scott rolls his eyes, “I can’t take you anywhere.”
Stiles slowly turns, to be met with a glare belonging to a kid a few years older than him.
“Oh my god” he gasps, “I’m so sorry.”
The kid sighs. He grabs his nose and winces slightly, looking at the blood on his hand. After that he turns around, quickly walking away and leaving the two boys behind.
That was the first time it happened.
“I was imitating a fight scene off this anime I watched and accidentally hit you in the face.” - AU

Summary
He taps his shoulder, and then, suddenly, his eyes sting and he curses loudly.
“Oh Fuck” the man curses loudly, “You’re not Gemma.”
“Who the fuck is Gemma” he curses back, shutting his eyes tightly as he feels the man takes a step towards him.
“My stalker” he replies, “Wait – I have a bottle of water. We have to rinse out your eyes. Otherwise the pepper spray will keep burning.”
“You pepper sprayed me? That’s what this is?” he asks in agony, trying to rub the sting out of his eyes.
“Yes” he says, Derek feels his hand on his cheek after slowly prying his hands out of his eyes. He can’t stop himself from thinking they’re kind of soft, “I’m going to rinse your eyes out, you have to open them.”
“This shit stings” he says, feeling the tears stream over his cheeks.
“I’m well aware” he says, “My dad pepper sprayed me once.”
AU “I was trying to ask for directions and you accidentally pepper sprayed me because you thought I was your stalker.”

Summary
There’s another thing people don’t tell you – not all tree branches that held you up as a kid, will hold you up when you’re an adult.
“Ouch” the voice from the man underneath him comes out annoyed, “The fuck were you doing up that tree?”
“Um – climbing it. Duh” he rolls his eyes and crawls off his victim – feeling less embarrassed than he probably should right now.
“Why? Why would you –?” he turns towards Stiles to look at him and stops mid-sentence, “Oh – it’s you.”
“What does that mean?” he frowns, watching the stranger grab his painful arm, “How would you even know me?”
“Well – you live a few houses from me. I could always see you sitting in your tree from my bedroom window” he says, carefully checking his arm and wincing in pain, “You’re the main reason I finally got curtains.”
“I wasn’t creeping on you” he says, then pauses and thinks about it, “Wait – were you the kid with the Darth Vader statue on his windowsill?”
“You accidently broke my arm when you fell from a tree and landed on top of me.”

Summary
He stands there frozen in place, staring at the naked man sipping from a glass of water, his doors to the balcony wide open and the music playing – swaying his hips to the rhythm. And he should really stop staring at him, maybe put on some pants himself instead of the towel he has wrapped around himself.
AU: “I needed a drink of water after my shower but I forgot that I opened the blinds to my balcony and you just saw me walk into my kitchen naked.”
