Stiles and Derek hanging out like all the time. Stiles asking one day, “are you attracted to me?”
And Derek regarding him kind of incredulously at the question, which is seemingly out of nowhere and asked with such seriousness that Derek doesn’t have a chance to really process it.
Stiles telling Derek that his friend from school was confused when Stiles mentioned going on a date with someone because they thought Derek was his boyfriend based on the way (and frequency) Stiles talks about him.
“She was all like, why aren’t you dating? And I thought, ha, because,” Stiles tells Derek. “But then I was like…cos I couldn’t come up with an actual reason. So now, I’m wondering…why aren’t we dating?’
And before Derek has a chance to respond Stiles pushes forward, “so I thought maybe you aren’t attracted to me cos that would do it. Probably, so like?” And Stiles is looking at Derek expectantly.
Derek regards him for a moment before speaking. When he does he shrugs and says, “we aren’t dating because neither of us has asked the other out.”
Which is probably not what Stiles is expecting for an answer. “So are you saying if I were to ask you out you would say yes?” Derek is trying not to smirk and Stiles knows the look well, it’s sort of devious and adorable all at once. It makes Stiles’ chest constrict and he feels his stomach somersault.
“I am attracted to you,” Derek finally says. Stiles feels his face heat which is annoying because he’s trying to play it cool. He feels his pulse spike so it’s pretty much a total loss.
“So, that’s a yes?” Stiles confirms.
“Yes, I will say yes if you ask me out,” Derek tells him. Stiles nods.
“So, do you like…wanna get dinner tonight?” Stiles asks, still sort of nervous because he’s not sure totally that Derek isn’t fucking with him.
“I’m free now,” Derek says. Stiles swallows the choked sound of surprise in his throat. Derek is smirking at him now.
“Me too,” Stiles nods. Which should be obvious because they’re actually hanging out together and have been for the past half an hour.
I’m so grateful for all the love! I didn’t think I’d come back here with my art and feel so loved! I’ll turn this tumblr into an art blog and of course I’ll still share what I love and what makes me laugh, but now I feel like giving much more to this platform too, as I used to. And now, focussing more on my art.
Thank you so so much, and hello to the new followers! I’m sending you all my good vibes!
