Summary
Stiles starts thinking about dropping out of college days before the end of his junior year. He's always wanted to be in law enforcement like his dad, but after spending so many years watching his friends die from the supernatural and being exposed to the worst of humanity through his internship program, he just—can't.
Derek's been on the fringes of the McCall pack since he returned to Beacon Hills. He doesn't feel comfortable there, he doesn't feel comfortable when he's gone—so he spends most of his time alone, helps out Scott when he needs is, and for some reason, answers every text message Stiles sends him.
A year of FaceTime and phone calls don't prepare him, however, for Stiles tossing a duffle bag on his bed in mid-July while he talks about the awesome road trip he has planned for them. Derek doesn't remember agreeing, but he does know this: where Stiles goes, he'll follow.

Summary
Stiles taps on the icon to open up the chat. He needs to write something. Anything. But what?
What are you wearing? Eh, no.
So, when the fuck were you going to tell me you’re back in BH? A bit too aggressive.
Does this mean that my attraction to you in high school was mutual, but you held back on account of me basically being a child and you are now open to exploring the intense, overwhelming feelings I held for you, which I only realized I had the moment I thought I watched you die? Maybe too honest.
