This one is just fluffy and temporary filler. I'm working on making the last of the phone errors and it's a big one, but I didn't want to leave you all hanging while I worked on it.
Stiles totally stole his Dad's phone and uploaded the message to his computer. He told Derek about having to tell his Dad about them and why. Derek totally laughed his ass off that his Dad had thought that Stiles was sexing Scott up, until Stiles pointed out 1. That Derek hadn't thought it was that ridiculous when he had seen that video on his phone and 2. That his Dad wanted to do a "dinner."
The dinner went fine. Minus all the gun cleaning and talking about underage minors and statutory rape and Stiles' personal favourite the "What are your intentions towards my son" talk. So yeah, except for all that it went swimmingly.
Wanting somehow to make it up to Derek, cause he doesn't have to do the whole "meet the parents" thing for him (though honestly having to spend any time around Peter should qualify) Stiles decides to get Derek a present he might use.
"Hey Danny." He starts. He's please when he gets a wary smile, because it's much better than the dismissive look he used to get before. "You know how you were arrested that time for hacking..."
"Jeez, keep that down will you!" Danny hisses. "I don't want that going around school."
"Fine...You know how you did that thing that got you into trouble with those people?" He ignores Danny's eye roll "Does that mean that you can like create programming too?"
"Why?" Danny asks hesitantly
"I just want to get Derek something he can use, you know on a day to day basis? And I had this idea. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but I thought you might know, given your predilections."
Danny laughs "So given my "predilections" the thing you want to ask me about is computer programming."
"Uhhh yeah. Is that weird?" Stiles laughs.
"No, that's cool. What can I do you for?"
"That expression is sooo dirrrrty." Stiles can't stop himself from saying. "I mean, I'd like to maybe have a custom set of emoticons?"
That's how Derek started using more than just the (smirk) emoticon. Cause he had a whole range of custom made werewolf ones. There was the red eye'd Alpha for when he was issuing orders. There was a smirking wolf (not because Stiles thinks that Derek smirking is hot! Seriously!) There was custom wolf emoticons made to look like each of the pack. Stiles had to admit that Isaac's was his favourite withl big blue, heart melting eyes, but thought the cheek bones on Jackson's were hilarious. This way though, Derek could text general instructions, but pick which pack members were to work on it. Whenever Scott was being too independent, Derek would send him the submitting wolf emoticon. SAtiles thought it was funny; Scott, not so much. Stiles really kinda liked that his emoticon was a red hoodie wearing human. Lydia complained that the face on hers was too round, but Danny had managed to get the strawberry blonde hair perfectly. There was the (puppy pile) which meant pack time and the (wolves howling) which meant pack meeting and there was even (puppy eyes) just because. He had even forced Danny to create a wolf with heart eyes. Danny hadn't wanted to, but Stiles totally pulled the "You pulled me out of the closet" card (which btw, that card totally rocks). Stiles loved when he got the (growling alpha wolf) (submitting wolf) (little red riding stiles) combo because it meant that he was totally getting sexy time.
Example of what I mean for the pack emoticons
And apparently there is a group that has been into doing this for a while:
are on my tumblr account since fanfic won't let me put them on here for some reason. My name on tumblr is the same as here.
