"He doesn't work Saturdays," informed Kira as Stile sat down at the tea shop, "I heard that you in here came to flirt with him yesterday."

"I just came for the tea."

"Scott told me you don't really like tea."

Stiles gasped, "That traitor!"

It was true though so Stiles ordered a brownie to go instead of a cup of hot tea. Yesterday's Halloween tea had been quite nice though.

"If you feel like going to the movies tonight, I'm meeting Derek at 8 to see that new horror film," she said as she gave him the brownie.

"Oh maybe I'll see you there," he smirked, "I might even bring Scott, you'd like that wouldn't you?"

He winked at her and she pulled an annoyed face in response but then smiled and walked away.

"So we're meeting Derek and Kira here?" asked Scott when they were standing in line for some popcorn. Tickets already purchased. Stiles had text Scott before his shift to see if he wanted to go to movies tonight but hadn't told him that Derek and Kira might be there until just now.

"No they just might be here and we might see them here and it will be a complete coincidence that we are both here at the same time," answered Stiles.

"And Derek is Cora's older brother?" clarified Scott, "Who you threw toilet paper at 1 in the morning?"

Stile nodded.

"And now he's your new Lydia Martin?" teased Scott.

"My what?"

From the age of 7 until just under a year ago Stiles had been obsessed with Lydia Martin because she was beautiful and smart and just as judgemental as he was without being so mean about it that everyone hated her. Everyone loved her, Stiles more than most, but when Allison and Scott had started dating he'd actually become friends with the legend that was Lydia Martin and idolising her just felt weird after that. He got over the crush and they became best friends instead.

Scott didn't get a chance to answer because Kira and Derek walked through the door and Stiles started hitting his arm excitedly to get his attention.

Kira saw them standing in the food queue and waved. Derek followed her gaze towards them, from the distance Stiles couldn't if he was happy or not to see him. He assumed not. He had thrown toilet paper at him.

After they purchased their tickets, the pair came over to where Scott and Stiles were standing with their food.

"Hi guys, what are you seeing?"

Surprisingly they were all seeing the same movie, so Kira suggested they sit together, earning a glare from Derek.

Scott and Stiles led the way and Kira whispered something to Derek, and then pushed forward to talk to Scott leaving Derek on his own. Stiles looked back and then slowed his walk down so he was next to Derek.

"Hi."

"Hello."

"So you don't work Saturdays?"

"No."

"Did you do some writing today?"

Derek turned to him and looked surprised, "Yeah, a little bit."

Scott entered the row first, then Kira, then Derek and Stiles. Stiles leaned back so he could catch Scott's eye. He winked at him. Scott smirked back at him then continued to talk to Kira. The two sat in silence for a bit, listening to Scott and Kira flirt until Stiles couldn't take it anymore.

"What are you writing?"

"A book," answered Derek. His short answers were strangely not getting on Stiles' nerves, he just found him quite amusing.

Stiles asked, "Have you always wanted to be a writer?"

"Not really," he answered, he surprised Stiles by expanding upon his answered, "I actually majored in history at college but I started my first draft of the novel in my last year and finished it this summer when I moved back home."

Stiles was going to ask him why he'd moved back home but he didn't get the chance because the trailers started. He gave him a small smile and turned his head to the screen.

The film was good but Stiles could barely concentrate with Derek sat right next to him. This crush was so stupid. Derek had just graduated from college and was writing a book, why would he ever like an underage, high school senior? He wouldn't, of course he wouldn't. Even so, he felt himself slipping into a Lydia Martin- esque obsession.

After the film, Kira and Scott stood outside the theatre discussing how good it was and all the best moments, Stiles joined in a bit but he mostly stood silently next to Derek sneaking looks at him.

Stiles built up the courage and asked, "Are you working tomorrow?"

"No," he answered then after a long pause he asked, "Are you?"

Stiles replied, "No, not tomorrow." Then there was another long moment of silence.

"Do you want to go now?" asked Derek, speaking to Kira.

She shrugged and said yes. Kira said her goodbyes to the both of them but Derek just sort of maybe half smiled and then left.

"Well that was interesting," said Scott.

"Yeah, it was," agreed Stiles, unable to shake that excited, nervous, butterflies feeling he'd had the whole time when he was sitting next to Derek.
