All I Want To Be Is Whoever You Want Me To Be This Halloween

Halloween inspired sterek au. I'm planning to upload a short chapter every day from now until Halloween. Stiles and Derek first meet when Stiles is TPing Derek's house to annoy his sister Cora. They then find out that they work across the street from each other and at first Derek thinks he can't stand Stiles but then he realises that might not be the case.

5. Chapter 5

Stiles was doing his weekly grocery shopping on Sunday because he didn't have work that day. He'd taken over being in charge of buying food and household supplies when he was 13, mostly because of his dad's health. When he got his jeep it had become a lot easier.

Derek was still on his mind, beautiful, sulky Derek. Scott thought he was insane. That was because his type was someone who didn't treat you like shit, someone who was unusually nice to everyone. Allison was example 1 and Kira was quickly becoming example 2. For some reason Stiles seemed to be attracted to kind of mean people who showed no interest in him at all.

"Oooh Halloween candy!" exclaimed Stiles spotting the small, pumpkin shaped balls of chocolately goodness. One of Stiles' favourite things about Halloween was the special Halloween candy.

"Hi Stiles."

Standing behind Stiles, who was fangirling over Halloween candy, was the legend himself, Derek Hale.

"Hi," replied Stiles, "I didn't expect to see you today, since neither of us is working."

"Yeah, me either."

Looking at the 3 tubs of ice cream in his hands, Stiles asked, "Emergency ice cream trip?"

"For Cora."

"Makes sense, I didn't think you'd be the type to eat a lot of ice cream," replied Stiles and then he started blushing and looking at the floor. At least he didn't start babbling.

Derek didn't know how to respond to that, he seemed to swallow and then he asked, "Why do I not seem to be the type to eat a lot of ice cream?" He seemed to be trying to flirt but Stiles could never be a hundred percent sure. Stiles did think he was definitely teasing him.

Gesturing wildly at Derek's physique, Stiles mumbled something about, "You can't look like that and eat a lot of ice cream, all the muscles, it just couldn't happen, you must only eat like carrots and work out 7 times a day."

"Actually carrots aren't a great food to eat to build up muscle, I'd be better off eating meat, salmon is quite good too."

Stiles squinted at him. "Are you messing with me?"

"Why would I be messing with you?"

"I… uh…" Stiles was blushing so hard. "Bye." Then he wheeled his trolley out of there as fast as he could, paying before he could buy half of his groceries. He'd have to make 2 trips this week.
