So, Stiles learns the importance of using emoticons with grunting monosyllabic and acerbic werewolf boyfriends, but only after having to go through a 3 hour fight over what amounted to nothing.
Here is the conversation that he thought they had:
Stiles: Derek, my Dad's going to home tonight and I wanna hang out with him, plus lacrosse tomorrow. So catch tomorrow? Maybe you can creeper at the game.
Derek: Can't make it tomorrow. Something came up L I'm not a creeper
Stiles: I see. Derek: Don't be that way. Sometimes I have to prioritize.
Stiles: Are you saying I don't prioritize or that I'm not a priority?
Derek: I didn't say either.
Stiles: ...
Stiles: You were implying something.
Derek: Look all I said is you want to hang with your dad fine, but I have something on tomorrow.
Stiles: Okay fine I got it. Message sent and received.
Derek: Tomorrow night, after.
Stiles: Sorry busy prioritizing.
Derek: Seriously?!
So of course he was pissed and snippy and angry even though at least HE had tried to keep his texts light an fluffy. only it turns out he didn't do such a good job at that wither, because when he went to yell at Derek, Derek yelled right back. It turns out they were both having semi flirty/fluffy conversations. Which they would have known, if they had just used Emoticons. You know how it is when you think you have said something, but it turns out the other person "read emotions" into it that weren't there. That just soooooo happened here.
It turns out that the conversation that they were actually having went more like this:
Stiles: Derek, my Dad's going to home tonight and I wanna hang out with him, plus lacrosse tomorrow (flex). So catch tomorrow? :* Maybe you can creeper at the game. (inlove)
Derek: Can't make it tomorrow. Something came up L I'm not a creeper (ninja)
Stiles: I see. :^) :$
Derek: Don't be that way. Sometimes I have to prioritize. (hugs)
Stiles: Are you saying I don't prioritize or that I'm not a priority? (nerd)
Derek: I didn't say either. (emo)
Stiles: ... (wait)
Stiles: You were implying something. :P
Derek: Look all I said is you want to hang with your dad fine, but I have something on tomorrow. :x ;)
Stiles: Okay fine I got it. Message sent and received. (doh)
Derek: Tomorrow night, after. (smirk)
Stiles: Sorry busy prioritizing. (lalala)
Derek: Seriously?! ]:) (smirk)
So, Stiles teaches Derek about emoticons. This of course also turns out to be a big mistake. Did he mention that said boyfriend was monosyllabic? Well with emoticons, apparently Derek felt justified in using primarily one response to anything that Stiles texted him: (smirk)
Sorry guys. i tried everything in my limited computer knowledge power to be able to actually post the real emoticons, but to no avail. :'(
Hope you enjoy. It shouldn't be long before the next one. I'm hoping to do a Dad reveal (still need to solidify ideas) and then there is sexy losing virginity time that has to be messed with because the phone is evil (not me, the phone! seriously stop looking at me like you don't believe me)
