"It was the most embarrassing moment of my life, you should've have seen his face," despaired Stiles while waiting in line to take a shot at goal at lacrosse practise. He was telling Scott about his tragic ordeal at the tea shop.
"So what did Derek say when your day left?" asked Scott.
Stiles exclaimed, waving his hands out in a dramatic way, "You think I stayed to find out? I got out of there as soon as I possibly could! I couldn't face Derek after that."
"Well then you don't know how Derek feels after what happened, maybe he doesn't care!"
Taking a moment to think about what Scott said, Stiles looked almost hopeful, but then he shook his head and returned to his normal, realistic attitude. He said, "My dad embarrassed him in his place of work, interrogated him and pretty much told him about my crush on him. I'm pretty sure he never wants to speak to me again."
Kira was stood in front of them. She had a smile on her face when she turned around. "Don't be so dramatic Stiles, I'm sure Derek will still want to speak to you, it wasn't that bad really, it was funny."
"This is a private conversation about my embarrassment!" yelled Stiles.
Scott reprimanded him, "Don't talk to Kira like that."
"Sorry Kira."
Kira said it was okay and assured Stiles that what happened yesterday hadn't made Derek change his mind about him, yes he was a little embarrassed but he also seemed happy.
"Happy?"
"Happy," confirmed Kira, "He's picking us up later, I'm sure he'll want to talk to you."
Stiles wasn't so sure, when he saw Derek parked in his Camaro later waiting for Cora and Kira he hid behind a bush to avoid being seen, until Scott grabbed him and dragged him out into the open. Derek spotted him and nodded at him. He wasn't smiling.
"He does not look happy," observed Stiles.
"Doesn't he always look like that?" asked Scott.
"Good point… Hi Derek, how have you been?"
Derek still wore a neutral expression. He replied, "Fine, how are you?"
"Slightly embarrassed after yesterday," admitted Stiles, "Sorry about my dad, I don't know why he said all that stuff, he's kind of weird, ask Scott, Scott's known him almost as long as me and I've known him my whole life, because he's my dad."
Scott poked him in the side so he would stop babbling.
"Stiles, don't worry about, it's fine." Derek was smiling now; Stiles always seemed to get the impression that Derek enjoyed his strange babbling.
Kira and Cora appeared so Derek told him he'd see him tomorrow and drove away.
"That wasn't too bad," said Stiles feeling a little less embarrassed then before.
