author's note: Ehh, this didn't turn out very well, so I'm sorry to cosmicloathe for kinda screwing up the prompt. (I've yet to actually watch all the seasons for myself, so I have no idea how Erica would act.) Also, I apologize for posting this so late!
Christmas Party
"I'm pleased with how close-knit the pack has become," Derek commented quietly, observing the members of their thrown together family. After succeeding in convincing (more like begging, in the alpha's opinion) the werewolf to host a holiday party, Stiles was now hovering near him, just as happy about the pack as the older male was.
"It's all thanks to me, man." Stiles believed it completely - after all, who else would have been able to make this gathering happen? Though he wasn't a werewolf, it had been made clear that he was still one of them, and it meant a lot to the teen.
Raising an eyebrow at the statement, the man was about to respond when a nearby noise distracted him; Erica was nearly giggling to herself, finding something quite hilarious. Brows furrowing, Derek cleared his throat, immediately making her grow silent. However, in response to his questioning (and threatening) glare, she merely pointed at the space above his and Stiles' heads, another giggle escaping her lips before she clamped a hand across her mouth.
Above them hung none other than mistletoe.
"...Who hung that there?" The words were a soft growl, the violence suppressing any embarrassment or other unwelcome feeling from making themselves known. Just as he turned an accusing gaze onto the male next to him, expecting to meet a sheepish and guilty look, he was instead met with a sudden kiss.
Stunned silence. A silence that remained unbroken until an awkward cough, clearly trying to kill the stalemate everyone was at. "I, uh, may have hung that," Scott admitted, rubbing the back of his head - it was most likely meant for him and Allison, though Derek was sure he could wrestle the truth out of him later.
For now, the alpha smirked dangerously before returning the human's kiss; if they were going to hang such things in his house, than the guests would have to suffer the consequence and endure the display.
