"Do you two really think that you are going to last as a couple? …Oh, no, no, no. Don't glare at me like that Derek. I think that it's cute, honestly…. I mean it's endearing, really, that you're pretending that there's any chance of you lasting with that obnoxious little teenager… In fact, I bet that you couldn't make it a week living together before one of you would end up dead… Or you would end up hating each other at the very least."

His uncle's mockingly sympathetic words echoed through Derek Hale's brain as his boyfriend rambled on telling him another crazy Coach story that he couldn't quite concentrate on, no matter how hard he tried.

Stiles noticed how buried in his own thoughts the other man seemed to be, so he decided to test if Derek was listening at all or not.

"-And then, of course, a fluffy unicorn floated out onto the lacrosse field and actually bit Isaac's left arm off… Yeah, it was disgusting. There was blood everywhere. And Isaac was shrieking like a little girl. Nobody knew what to do… But then Scott, my hero, began to actually communicate with the unicorn using a series of whinnies and stomps- did you know that Scott speaks unicornish? -until it actually reattached Isaac's arm using the bubble gum in its saliva. And oh my god, Derek, stop nodding, you clearly aren't hearing a word that I'm saying!" He finally snapped.

When Derek still didn't seem to hear a word that he was saying, Stiles leaned back in frustration and sighed dramatically to himself.

Finally the werewolf seemed to drag himself out of his thoughts as he suddenly looked up and asked, "Hey, you're on spring break next week right?"

"Yup," Stiles responded, surprised by the sudden topic change, but choosing not to let it show for now.

"Do you want to stay over here for the week?" Derek offered.

"Umm, sure, okay. That's not random at all… But yeah," Stiles responded. "What brought that on?"

Derek tried to pass it off as casually as possible as he answered, "Nothing really, just something that Peter said…"

"Oh, right. Just something that your psycho uncle casually brought up in conversation…" Stiles responded in a tone of mock casualty. "What did he say?"

"He just said that we won't last together and bet that we could never survive a week of living together," Derek explained.

"What? We could totally make it a week," Stiles said confidently. "Right? And now we're going to prove it. You should bet him money on this."

The only challenge would be trying to talk his dad into the idea… He knew that he would never get away with just pretending to be at Scott's house. After all of the shenanigans that Stiles and Scott had gotten up to in the past, the sheriff and Melissa always called each other to check if that was where their son really was when the pair was supposedly having a sleepover.


"Absolutely not." Sheriff Stilinski told his son sternly.

"But Dad-"

"No."

"But you haven't even listened to me-"

"You want me to give you permission to go move into your older, tattooed, werewolf of a boyfriend's house for an entire week?" The sheriff questioned. "Why on Earth would I agree to that?"

"Umm, because I'm actually telling you the truth about where I'd be going instead of sneaking around behind your back?" Stiles asked hopefully before he became distracted and asked. "Wait- How do you know about Derek's tattoo? …You know what, never mind."

"While I am glad that you're actually being honest with me for a change, I still don't think that it's a good idea-"

Before the sheriff could get any more words out, his son cut him off with, "But if I don't stay over there for a week, then Peter will automatically win his stupid bet that we wouldn't be able to survive a week living together. And apparently he's been bothering Derek about how we don't stand a chance of lasting together and clearly he's gotten into Derek's head and if this ruins my relationship, then I'm blaming you. Well Peter, but you too."

The sheriff let his hand rest in his hand and sighed to himself as he weighed his options. He wanted his son to be happy and he was glad that Stiles had actually come and asked him first, but of course he wasn't exactly thrilled about the idea of his son spending a week at his boyfriend's house. But if he didn't let him go, Stiles would probably either sneak out and go there anyways or else he would drive the sheriff insane for the entire week.

"Oh come on, Dad. Is it really that terrible of an idea?" Stiles questioned pleadingly.

"Do you remember that time that he was wanted for murder?" The sheriff asked.

"Technically that was Scott's fault," the teen defended as he recalled the time when Scott had panicked and claimed that Derek had been the one trying to kill them in the school one night.

"…Fine, you can go," The sheriff relented. "But you owe me, so you'd better not commit any more minor crimes for a long time, young man."

A grin formed on Stiles' lips as he pulled his father into a hug.

"Thanks, Dad… And don't worry; I'll stick to the major crimes from now on."

Sheriff Stilinski laughed as he hugged his son back while he silently hoped that his son really was kidding.


This was the first time that Stiles was actually staying the night at Derek's place. Sure, they'd slept together, but Stiles had never stayed the night because he'd always had to get home so that his dad wouldn't get mad at him.

"You don't sleep talk, do you?" Derek asked with a slight smirk. "Because I think that I already reach my limit of how long I can listen to your voice for during the day."

"Ha," Stiles responded with a sarcastic laugh. "And I don't. Or at least if I do, Scott's never told me about it."

Derek didn't appreciate the casual mention of Stiles and Scott sleeping close to each other as a fairly often occurrence, but he gritted his teeth and decided to let it go. Nothing good would come from pointless jealousy and he had no intention of starting a fight on night one of Stiles spending the week there.


Derek woke up in the middle of the night to find himself lying on the floor next to his bed. He slowly got up to get back into his bed, only to find that Stiles was fast asleep sprawled out on his stomach across the centre of it, taking up at least three quarters of the bed's surface.

Derek quietly sighed to himself before carefully crawling back onto the edge of the bed, cautious to not wake his boyfriend up.
