on stiles’s day off, he doesn’t wear his uniform. derek isn’t sure how to feel about that, especially when he discovers that his uniform is replaced with basket ball shorts that he can barely keep above the waist band of his boxers, because even if stiles has filled out and does have a nice ass, it’s still not enough to keep anything up around his hips without a belt or tie.

derek also learns that stiles is an obsessive cleaner. and every time he tries to help, he just gets shooed out of the way. he figures he finally wears stiles down enough when stiles shoves the broom into his hands and then not so gently shoves him out of the dining room and into the kitchen.

once stiles deems the place clean again, derek finds himself getting dragged across town so stiles can buy groceries and pester him about what he likes to eat. it’s an adventure and they seem to argue about everything that ends up in the cart.

it’s all going pretty good until this little old lady wanders over, barely paying derek any mind as she hugs stiles and pinches his cheeks, causing him to flush red as she fawns over him.

derek’s simply watching in amusement when she turns in his direction. “you must be the young man that’s gotten poor stiles all enamored and tongue tied,” she states and pats his cheek.

she turns back to stiles, “he is quite handsome,” and derek wants to laugh because stiles looks like a fish but he’s too busy trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

she says something else to stiles, thanking him derek thinks, before she wanders off, leaving the two of them standing in the cereal and juice aisle. “don’t say a word, hale.”
