Rules of how to interact with a Sour Wolf : Rule one

Don't touch him.

Stiles found out the first rule on his list, the hard way. Well actually the first rule on his list was never, under any circumstances let Derek see "the list" but that was more an unspoken rule than one he actually wrote down. Because it was implied… wasn't it?

Stiles found out the first rule, when he had mistakenly thought it was a good time to hug the alpha. In hindsight he realized it was a stupid idea. But at the time, he had needed the contact and Derek was the only one around.

Stiles didn't even think, he just wrapped his arms around the scowling werewolf and held him there. It was only later when he got home that he realized he very easily could have ended up with a broken neck for doing something so stupid.

Which he was reminded of the next day.

"that's never going to happen again." Derek growled at him.

Stiles almost laughed, just because everyone else in the pack was probably assuming something a lot more… incriminating went on then him hugging Derek and Derek not responding in a way that was all cuddles and grins.

"got it, no touchy." He responded.

When he got home he pulled out his notebook. And no it was not a diary, no matter what Scott said or how many times he had poured over the pages writing down everything and anything about Lydia martins beautiful strawberry blonde hair.

At the top of the page of his "not" diary, he scrawled, "rules for how to interact with a Sourwolf, A Guide by Stiles Stilinski."

Below this he wrote down the first official rule.

't touch him.
