So this is my very first fanfic EVER and I was feeling a bit inspired. This is definitely AU. No supernatural elements. Nothing to do with the show at all. I just liked the characters. If people like it, then I will write more of them. Comments would be greatly appreciated.

I DO NOT OWN TEEN WOLF OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM!

Chapter 1:

"You know," Kate said to Derek, "if you and Stiles wanted to experiment, I wouldn't be opposed."

Derek attempted his sincerest approximation of shock, because it wasn't meant to be something spoken aloud – certainly not offered. It also was something beyond credibility to deny, but he felt responsibility to do so even if it didn't come off credible.

Was it something she'd been trying to find the best time to mention? Had she concluded it may well be now, while during him to the airport, like she wanted to get it out in the open before seeing him off.

"Very funny," Derek said unconvincingly, but it was admirable far as responses went, because it was a running gag already wasn't it, about him and Stiles.

She looked deliberately over the steering wheel at traffic before attempting the excruciating left turn onto La Tijera Boulevard.

"I wouldn't blame you at all."

Derek's' brow furrowed; should that have been hurtful..? Not really – because another running gag was that Stiles was the sexiest man alive. Or maybe not so much a gag as a casually accepted fact.

"Next time we experiment, I'll let you know," he said sarcastically.

"All the gory details?"

"Every last one."

But even if she meant it sincerely, it wasn't something to take without precaution; most disconcerting was the latent awareness that here was permission to try, and it was dangerous ground.

A/N: So what did you think? I know this chapter is SUPER short, but hopefully they will get longer. Comments are appreciated because this is my very first fanfic story and I would love to improve on it if you guys think there's something there.
