Summary: “So we’re really doing this?” Stiles said when he joined Derek in their bedroom. “A month in New York?”
Derek gave a hesitant nod. “I think so…if that’s what you want to do.”
Stiles lunges for Derek and tackles him on the bed in a hug, “Yes!” He exclaims. “I want to! So fucking much!”

Takes places at the Sheriff’s Department; Derek’s at work.
Derek sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew that if Stiles saw him, he’d be bugging him about going to get his eyes checked to make sure he had the correct prescription of his glasses, but he just didn’t have the time for that.
Between the big case they were working on and learning about some new system that Parrish had just finished training on and was currently trying to explain to him, Derek barely had time to think let alone make a doctor’s appointment.
His eyes were fine. He just needed to take a break from focusing on the tiny print of this file and trying to make out the chicken scratch notes from one of the detectives he was working with.
‘This detective can kiss my…’ Derek thought to himself as he tossed the papers to the side.
“Taking a break, Jordan,” Derek called out as he pushed his chair back, stood up and stretched until his back gave a satisfying crack and pop.
Parrish nodded his head, not looking up from what he was doing. “You’re due for one anyway. Take 30 minutes and I’ll let the boss know.”
“Thanks. Just enough for a coffee and power nap,” Derek replied as he picked up the near empty and definitely cold cup of coffee from his desk.
He maneuvered around some chairs and desks before making his way to the back break room. Even though Jordan told him to take a 30-minute break, he knew the man would likely let him sleep closer to an hour if they were having a slow time in the office, but Derek still set the alarm on his phone for 25 minutes and made a mental note to freshen up in the bathroom.
