Lau.

I'm not coming in to work today.

Please don't ask why.

[ His face darkens a little, and he glances away. ] A lot of reasons.

I-It's not like. I mean, it's way too soon and I don't mean to say that I'm— [ His usually panic-iness mixed with this honestly curse or whatever was making all of his words garble before they could leave his tongue. ]

[ And Derek, unfortunately, takes it the wrong way. ] Look, you don't have to say anything. [ He pulls away, and stalks over to the window, putting his hands on the sill. ] Maybe it was too soon to tell you that you could stay here. And maybe it was too soon to sleep with you. But I want you around. You're one of the reasons I want to try and be a better person.

[ Stiles manages to gather his words when Derek talks.

And what he hears makes his heart clench. ] Wait, no! That's not what I meant.

[ He heads over but stands behind him, hands gripped tight. ] I just didn't... want you to think I was going to fast or being too clingy. But I want to be around you. And, And I want you around me...

[ Derek glances over his shoulder, and then turns a little, still resting one hand on the sill. ] I don't know if we're moving too fast or not. I don't really have a good basis for comparison. I just know that.. I like it when you're around. And I don't want you to not be around.

I-I don't know either. [ He shuffles his feet a bit and stuffs his hands in his hoodie pockets. ] But I don't think there's anything wrong with that?

I hope there isn't.

Not like it's anybody else's business, really.

Your friends worry. And probably with good reason.

[ He sighs. ] They probably do. But for right now... I just wanna enjoy this. I don't care if that makes me selfish.

[ He's quiet, and he reaches for Stiles, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him close. ] ...Me, too.

[ Stiles smiles into his shoulder and holds him in return. ] Awesome.
