"Stiles please just let me get a picture to send to your grandma!"
"Dad, please stop, this is so embarrassing!"
"Derek, tell him to stop moving please."
Derek didn't really want to get in the middle of an argument between his boyfriend and his boyfriend's dad but in this situation he felt it was probably better to side with the sheriff.
"Stiles, come on, we can take one picture," said Derek.
Both of them had changed at work to go to homecoming since they hadn't finished until 9 but then the sheriff had surprised Stiles by turning up at the tea shop with a camera.
"I need to get a picture of your first real dance with an actual date," explained his dad, "Your grandma will never forgive me if I don't."
Stiles was already blushing but now he looked terrifyingly red. He yelled, "Dad, I've been to dances with dates before!"
"This time you went with Lydia as friends really doesn't count son," replied his dad making Stiles feel even more embarrassed.
Derek just laughed and squeezed his hand.
"Okay! Okay! We're done, you've got your pictures, can we go now?"
"Okay, go have fun," grinned the sheriff, "I want him back by 1am Derek."
"Yes sir."
He said, "You can call me John now Derek, also I hear Stiles is going to your house for dinner tomorrow so I want you round for lunch on Sunday."
"Um, okay, that would be nice, see you then."
Quickly, Stiles dragged him out of the door before his dad could make him feel worse.
"I'm so sorry."
"Don't be, honestly, I don't mind, I like your dad."
Stiles frowned, "That makes one of us."
It was 9:30 when they got to 'Halloween homecoming'. Derek looked great as Han Solo and Stiles made a pretty good batman too.
They spotted their friends dancing in a group and went over to them.
"There's my batman!" exclaimed Erica hugging Stiles. She seemed slightly tipsy and had obviously had pre drinks before homecoming.
"Did they win the football game?" asked Derek.
Cora shrugged, "Probably, I can't even remember, we weren't really paying attention."
"Have you been drinking?" demanded Derek.
Cora just whispered, "Shush," in response and carried on dancing.
Stiles began dancing next to him, taking his boyfriends arms and forcing Derek to dance to.
"Don't make me dance alone my stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!" teased Stiles quoting star wars at him.
Derek shot right back with, "If your worshipfulness commands it then I guess I'll have to dance."
"Yes you will."
Stiles could see Scott and Kira dancing together and arguing about how Scott hadn't seen star wars yet.
"I blame you Stiles," she shouted.
Stiles protested, "I've tried, I swear, blame Scott, not me!"
"You're his friend, you're meant to educate him!"
"Well you're his friend too, you educate him!"
Scott and Kira started to make plans for a star wars marathon, she was debating whether to start with the originals or the prequels. Scott didn't really understand what she was talking about but he couldn't stop smiling at her.
He turned his attention back solely to Derek who was grinning at him. A slow song came on and Stiles pressed closer against Derek, swaying with him.
They kissed quickly and Stiles whispered, "How are you feeling about batman now?"
"Don't tell my boyfriend Stiles but I think I may have changed my mind about you Bruce," teased Derek.
"Aren't you dating Princess Leia not Stiles?" joked Stiles.
"I don't think Scott would be too happy about that."
"No me neither."
Scott and Kira were slow dancing together and they looked adorable.
Erica and Boyd were dancing too, and Isaac and Allison. Lydia was dancing with Jackson but Stiles assumed it was out of friendship since she was head over heels for Jordan Parrish.
"They look happy," observed Stiles looking at Scott and Kira.
"They do," agreed Derek.
A silence fell over them until Stiles admitted quietly while looking at the floor, "You make me really happy."
Derek lifted his chin up so he could look in his eyes, he pressed a short kiss to his mouth and said, "You make me happy too."
