“Hey, Stilinski!”

Stiles clenches his teeth. “What do you want, Hale?” he shouts back, not bothering to turn around. The smug smirk that’s most likely waiting for him is already seared into his mind from overexposure.

“A date!” the answer comes, still as loud, and most of the bystanders giggle or snort in Stiles’ direction.

Stiles rolls his eyes. This is the third time this week. He’d complain that Hale’s jokes are getting pretty stale, but he’d probably be milking this situation for all that it’s worth, too, if their roles were reversed. “Wrong aisle,” he grouses back, “try the bakery section. I hear they have fresh tarts.”

Awkward Nerd Derek has been crushing on Handsome Jock Stiles since forever—so getting paired with him on a Chemistry project is definitely the best/worst thing that’s ever happened to him.

“Alright, cool, we should go,” Stiles says breezily, dusting off his hands as he stands.

“We should?”

“Yeah!”

“But… Do you even care about photography?”

“Not as much as I should,” Stiles plants both his hands on the table, bracketing Derek in, “You’ll have to correct my miscreant ways.”

“Okay, how ‘bout this? One date, just one date, and if you still don’t believe I’m genuinely interested in you, then I’ll leave you alone for good. How does that sound?”

Derek hesitated for another moment, before he sighed and said, “Fine. One date.”

He holds up his free hand, eyes still closed. “One second,” he says through gritted teeth. “I’m just taking a moment to mourn the fact that we could have been fucking since–” He cracks open an eye and glares at Derek.

“Freshman year,” Derek supplies. “I’ve pretty much had the biggest crush on you since our freshman year.”

Hotsky to Trotsky by paintedrecs | 3.3K

Derek had his future mapped out: there’d be graduation, followed by college, followed by (he hoped) a good grad school, then a career as a professor whose students didn’t spend their time flicking paper footballs at each other and obsessing over their dating lives. He had good friends, a good family, and no time to focus on distractions like high school gossip or relationships.

He hadn’t factored Stiles Stilinski - lacrosse player, class clown, part of the popular crowd, currently spending his entire day staring at Derek and smiling - into his plans.

Frat Flirt by LadyDrace | 1.5K

Stiles keeps inviting Derek to things. It’s very suspicious.

Listening to Montero while drunk at 1:06am and the part where he says, "I only fuck the ones I envy" is so relatable like, all the people I fucked around with were people I either envied or hated for doing/being what I couldn't do/be. Be it being friendly, tall, good looking, book smart (was seeing dust in uni and I failed all my classes). Like, I want to stain them with my muck, make them feel how I feel and hate themselves cos they could never fix me nor change me and I derived joy in making them feel inferior to me cos I got involved with them to prove a point to myself. What point? I didn't know, guess I just wanted to drag them down to my level.

Okay but the best time to watch bl is at 1:24am when you're drunk on cheap wine

I'm about to text ex who is obviously better off without me (he's moved to another country), wish me luck
