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.

15. Chapter 15

A gaggle of kids were shopping at the costume shop that night, excitedly squealing over the superhero costumes and the scary costumes too.

Stiles really enjoyed his job. He was encouraging a kid to buy a batman costume over a spiderman one when Derek walked in.

"If you have a choice between anything and batman, you pick batman," insisted Stiles, "DC all the way."

Derek chimed in, "I would personally pick spiderman, how could anyone pick DC over marvel?"

"Excuse me, batman is my favourite superhero!" exclaimed Stiles

Derek frowned, "I can't believe you like batman, batman is a terrible superhero, he spends all his money trying to save gotham and in the end he never improves it, his methods are ineffective and he technically isn't a superhero because he has no powers."

"Shush! No! You have like batman, I can't like someone who doesn't like batman!" Stiles' ears turned red really quickly after he said that, he turned back to the kid trying to buy the costume who was smiling at the two boys almost teasingly.

Erica appeared, grinning at Derek, she said to the customer, "Why do you want to be batman or spiderman? Why not batgirl or spidergirl or you could even be catwoman, I love catwoman."

Derek admitted, "I do like the villains in batman, catwoman is cool."

"Well I guess that's something," said Stiles, "Do you want to try some girl costumes?"

"Not really, girl superheroes are lame," the little girl replied.

Stiles yelled enthusiastically, "Not all female superheroes are lame! Wonder woman is awesome and did you see the new guardians of the galaxy film? You could be Gamora and paint yourself green and wear all black!"

"Green?" the girl repeated.

"Green!" Stiles cried, excitedly.

"Okay!" she exclaimed.

Erica told Stiles she'd handle the rest of the sale and took the girl to find the green body paint.

"You couldn't like someone who didn't like batman?" asked Derek.

Stiles confirmed, "I could not."

"Too bad," teased Derek, then after a pause he asked, "Did you enjoy the cookies?"

"They were so nice, thank you, my dad enjoyed them too," informed Stiles with a smile, "Thinking about it, they might even make up for the not liking batman thing."

Derek grinned, "Good… I better get back to the shop, I just had a short break, thought I'd come over, see you later."

"Yeah, bye!"
