Being famous was great and all but at times all the attention was annoying. Which was why Derek Hale was hiding in the closet, he would probably be embarrassed or something about it later but for now he had to get away from people. That is until the closet door opened and a young, thin, man jumped in and closed it quietly but quickly.

"Oh great" Derek muttered

"Oh hey, fancy meeting someone else in the closet" the kid said jokingly "Uh I'm Stiles, you?"

"You mean you don't know me?" Derek asked, relaxing quite a bit after hearing this

"Should I?" Stiles asked "Wait, have we met before? Or is this just some little game you play with people when they hide in closets?"

Derek just stared at him and Stiles smiled a little as he was trying to figure out exactly what was going on here. Derek leaned against the back wall of the closet and glanced at Stiles who was shifting as if uncomfortable with the silence.

"Why are you hiding?" Derek asked suddenly

"My crazy cousin was trying to get my opinion on this guy she wants to date."

"And that's bad?" Derek asked curiously

"Well considering the last time I did that the guy punched me in the face and broke my nose" Stiles said with a small sigh at the memory.

"Okay I see your point" Derek said

"And you?" Stiles asked

"I don't like people"

The answer was so simple and said with a professionalism that made Stiles burst out laughing until Derek covered his mouth.

"Hiding means being quiet" Derek instructed

Stiles did his best to stifle his laughter as he glanced back over to Derek.

"I'm sorry but that was the best answer I have ever heard"

Derek smiled a little which was such a surprise to himself, because it felt so real, that he quickly backed up and Stiles gave him a curious look.

"What never smiled before?" Stiles asked as he got up and walked up to Derek who gave him a wary look. Stiles just smiled before putting his pointer fingers on either side of Derek's mouth and lifted it into a smile.

"See smiling" Stiles said with his own smile

"Stiles." Despite the how awkward it was to talk like this he still managed to sound a bit threatening but Stiles kept smiling, though he did release the older man's mouth.

"I can smile" Derek said before smiling though Stiles just nodded a little before frowning slightly.

"But it's not real, I can tell" Stiles said before poking Derek in the nose, which had the other man blinking in slight confusion.

"I can teach you how to really smile" Stiles said as he pulled out his phone. Derek looked at him a moment before they exchanged numbers and Stiles poked his head out of the closet to see there was literally no one around when moments ago they could hear everyone moving about.

"Okay, we are clear for take off" Stiles said

"Really Stiles?"

"Just make a break for it and don't stop"

Derek laughed a bit and it felt good and if this odd kid he just met was willing to help him, he was more than happy to accept the offer.

"And go"

With that he and Stiles took off in opposite directions.
