   Summary

   “Oh,” he said after a moment. “I thought you were over that.”

   “I thought I was too,” Stiles stated simply.

   Maybe he’d lied to Scott. Maybe he’d lied to himself. It didn’t matter.

   Every time his crush on Derek waned into a nearly nonexistent thing, after an indeterminate amount of time it always waxed back into full. Stiles’ feelings for Derek were like the phases of the moon. Ever changing but constant.
