These drabbles can be read chronologically or not. Dealer's choice. I'm writing them in a progression style but they all pretty much stand alone.

Erica's parents had gotten a new TV. So, by default and a little petty thievery, they had a new TV. It wasn't like a plasma flat screen or anything, but it worked and the picture quality was good and it was able to hook up to the Blu-ray/DVD player Isaac had splurged some of his inheritance money on.

Derek hadn't been thrilled about that, scolding him for spending the money from the liquidation of his former family home and business and his father's life insurance policy on stupid things when he could save it for college or something. He had been surprised in two ways by that. One, he had never thought Derek would want him to leave. Two, he…had never thought Derek would want him to leave. But Isaac reasoned that even if he spent a tenth of the money in his trust before graduation he would still have enough to pay for a four year college when the time came. Derek had conceded, and by conceded he means he didn't make him take the Blu-ray player back, but urged him not to go out and buy any quote 'stupid purchases' without consulting him first. Isaac figured he knew how to manage money since he had never seen Derek work and assumed he lived off of the inheritance money from his own family's estate.

Death and funding aside, the ritual of movie night once a week had fallen in rather unexpectedly but stuck just as quickly. Every Wednesday night, full moon notwithstanding, Erica and Boyd waltzed into the place like they owned it (well…Erica did) and announced what movie they would be watching that evening (well…Erica did). Then the pack, now the 5 of them with Cora around, would all gather on or around the couch and watch whatever movie had been selected and eat popcorn or pizza or some other unhealthy food and pretend to be regular young adults for an hour or two every Wednesday night.

"Which one of you fatties ate all the popcorn?!" Erica shouts when she reaches across Isaac's lap into Boyd for the popcorn bowl and finds nothing but kernels and crumbs.

"That would be me." Isaac says with a lift of his hand and corner of his smile.

"Gah! How are you the skinniest of us all and still eat twice as much?!"

"I'm not skinny. I'm lean." Isaac corrects and crosses his arms. He does not pout. Men don't pout.

"Which is a nice way of saying your skinny." She retorts, poking his ribs through the ineffective shield his arms make.

"Erica, stop picking on Isaac."

The betas immediately stop fidgeting with each other at the command of their Alpha. Well, Isaac stops. Erica refuses to go quietly.

"I'm gonna go make some more popcorn." She says, really to no one, and pauses the movie before using Derek's and Isaac's knees to stand up and head for the kitchen.

Cora gets up too to presumably to use the bathroom. Boyd follows Erica, not surprisingly, for one reason or another.

Now Derek and Isaac are alone.

Without the shield of Erica's body between them, Isaac is very aware of Derek sitting next to him. He starts to fidget. His brain frantically tries to think of a plausible excuse to leave the room.

"Something wrong Isaac."

The blue eyed beta snaps his attention to the Alpha who is looking at him incredulously.

"No I just-"Don't lie Isaac." Derek cuts in before Isaac can even think to. "You've been like this for a week now." He adds and Isaac bows his head. He hadn't thought Derek had noticed that he had been sort of avoiding him. Side stepping the others path whenever he could, staying later at practice to help pick up and not have to come home, tense and shifty when he couldn't avoid it. "Is this about the other night? Stiles's party?"

Isaac flinches a little but tries to hide it by scratching his head. He should have known that he couldn't hide anything from Derek. Derek was very perceptive, a lot more so than people gave him credit for. It wouldn't have been hard for him to put two and two together and now Isaac feels stupid for trying.

He was just…embarrassed. He didn't know if Derek would be ok with him sleeping in his bed or comfortable with the position they had woken up in, even though it seemed he was the instigator. He also was exactly sure how to handle how he had handle it when he woke up beside Derek, heart racing from more than just what he recognized was fear.

"Well I…-"You know that that's completely normal right? Wolves in packs often sleep together to provide warmth and protection from pack members they trust. Not to mention we'd been drinking. It's not that weird."

Isaac pops his head up a little to look at Derek curiously. "Oh? I didn't know."

"If you're still uncomfortable I promise it will never happen again."

"No! It's not-" Isaac starts quick but cuts himself off because he doesn't want to give off the wrong impression in his enthusiasm. "I just didn't think about it that way. I thought you'd be mad at me."

"If I was mad at you Isaac, you would have known it." Derek tells him with a soft, secret smile that Isaac likes to think only he gets to see.

And Isaac returns it, seeing that Derek isn't mad and basically just told him he trust Isaac in a circumvented fashion.

"Popcorn 's done!" Erica yells, holding the bowl over her head like a trophy worthy of presentation. The pack returns to their original seat; Cora and Boyd on the floor while Erica sits between Derek and Isaac as the movie plays. "None for you!" Erica scolds and smack Isaac's hand when he reaches into the bowl. "You ate all of it the last time!"

"Erica share," Derek orders, not taking his eyes off the screen as the giant crocodile flips the boat the characters are in a picks them off one by one.

Erica sneers and makes no effort to hide her grumbling as she hands the bowl over. "Bloody favorite…." She mutters around a mouth full of buttery fluffs and Isaac makes no effort to hide his superior smirk.
