Dog Days

"NOOOO MIGUEL!"

You could hear Stiles yelling from down the street. He was currently trying to give Miguel a bath. It was not working out so well. Thank god Derek wasn't home yet.

"Come here Miguel! Back to the tub. Please!?" Stiles was pleading with the puppy who was currently running around the house. Water a bubbles were everywhere. Stiles thought it would be cute to give Miguel a bubble bath. Obviously it didn't quite work out as he had hoped it would.

Miguel ran into the living room with Stiles right behind him. More water and soap everywhere.

How am I going to clean all this up before Derek gets home?!

As soon as he thought this he ran straight into Derek who was just walking through the door.

Crap…

As the puppy hurried to Derek, Stiles snatched him up. Derek looked all around the house. He saw the soap and bubbles and water that was spread everywhere. He sighed deeply, but before he could say anything Stiles interrupted.

"Heyyyy Derek. How are you? You look fantastic today. Are yo-"

"Stop talking."

"Yes sir." Stiles looked down at Miguel who was looking up at Stiles with the sweetest face.

Derek leaned over and kissed Stiles on the cheek. Stiles smiled looking up, relived he wasn't in the dog house for this.

"Go grab some towels and I'll help you clean this up okay?" Derek said as he walked to grab a mop.

"Of course!" Stiles said making his way to the towel closet. Stiles put Miguel down as he walked and Miguel followed.

After cleaning up the kitchen that had tons of water all over the place, they went for the bathroom. Which by the way was much worse than the kitchen.

"How did it get this bad?" Derek asked as he was mopping up some of the water.

"Well I mean it's been a good couple weeks since we bathed Miguel and I just thought it might be a good idea to give him a bath, and I thought it would be cute if it was a bubble bath."

"How much bubble bath did you use?" Derek asked as he looked at the tub that was way too full with bubbles.

"Uhm…" Stiles said looking to the tub then back to Derek. "Well, I mean, just a bit."

Derek and Stiles both laughed as they cleaned up the rest of the bathroom.

"Now I need a bath." Stiles said as he lifted his shirt to his nose and grimacing.

"Me too." Derek said lifting his shirt completely off after smelling it. "Ya know we could save water and take one together."

Stiles rolled his eyes and started undressing. Derek did the same.

"Will you close the door? The dog could run in any minute and that thought is slightly weird to me." Derek said as he ran the water for a bath.

"Sure thing." Stiles went to close the door and Miguel was sitting by the door.

"You stay right there. You won't be alone long. Just sit here and be a good dog." Stiles said to Miguel. Miguel just sat there looking up at Stiles and wagging his tail. Stiles smiled down at Miguel and closed the door. He turned to see that Derek had put in the perfect amount of water and bubbles so that it wouldn't make too much of a mess or overflow.

"Damn show off." Stiles mumbled under his breath.

"What was that?" Derek asked smirking as he slid into the tub.

"Nothing." Stiles said shrugging. He walked over to the tub and Derek pulled him in so that Stiles was sitting with his back against Derek's chest and Derek's arms wrapped around him.

"You know if every time you tried to give the dog a bath ended up like this I wouldn't mind." Derek said kissing the back of Stiles' head.

Stiles laughed lightly, "Yeah, that would be nice."
