    Summary

    Derek is a romantic. He dreams of finding his mate, of connecting with that special someone who will make his heart swoon.

    [Excerpt]:
    "Who says I need to be in a relationship to be happy?" Derek asks, his hackles rising. Besides, Boyd has it all wrong. Derek has Die Hard on his Christmas queue.

    Yippee ki yay.

    Boyd holds up both hands. "Not me. If you want to be a bachelor forever, I'm not one to judge."

    "But I am," Erica says. "You don't date anymore. Hell, when's the last time you even got laid? Which would also be fine, except it's not, because you're miserable and it's obvious that's not what you really want."

    Sometimes Derek has a hard time following Erica's logic. Unfortunately, this is not one of those moments.

    "It doesn't matter," he says, digging the excess rice out from his wrap. "I'm better off alone."

    Summary

    The average human can walk twenty miles in a day. It's different, though, when you're in the wilderness and battling supernatural creatures at every turn.
    ~~~
    Stiles is hallucinating.

    He cracks open an eye. He's floating… no, not floating, because he's bouncing up and down, horizontal-like, the skyline above the trees growing closer, then more distant. There are hands holding him upright, cradling his upper back, his thighs. There's a face hovering above him, with a shock of black hair, and although Stiles is having problems focusing, the person looks good. Insanely, inhumanly good.

    Stiles never wanted to be the recipient of the basilisk's venom, but now that it's coursing through him, he admits it's some top quality shit. Absolutely fucking primo.

    "Wow." He breathes, trying to enjoy the moment.

    "Stiles?" The person holding him bends closer, their eyes flashing a bright blue.

    Stiles shakes his head. He knows those eyes, remembers their unnatural, electric color. "Dude?"

    The godlike specimen huffs. "It's Derek. And don't call me 'Dude'."

    Stiles is pretty sure his mouth is hanging open unattractively. "We really need to talk," he manages before finally passing out.

    Summary

    Of all the things Stiles imagined could happen, he never thought he’d end up packless.

    *****

    Derek picks up his coffee and drains it slowly. "My place is a twenty-minute drive from here. I could show you, if you'd like," he says once he finishes. His tone is studiedly casual, but Stiles knows what a big deal it is. It's an offer to re-establish a connection with a former pack member. To invite Stiles into the new sanctuary Derek created for himself.

    Stiles looks at his empty cup. He thinks of the miles he's driven. Of the motels and hotels and cheap campsites he's crashed at, and tries to keep his desperation to have something familiar, of not feeling so goddamn lonely, from his voice.

    "Yeah. I'd really like that," he says, and if his heartbeat does a little swoop, Derek's too polite to mention it.
