Stiles in bed isn’t really something Derek should be thinking about. Ever. Because the person who normally picks Lily up from school? Is Scott. Lily’s other parent. And Stiles’s partner. Not to mention the entire source of Derek’s current misery. -- AKA, the one in which Derek thinks Scott and Stiles are in a relationship and that they want to threesome with Derek.Spoiler Alert? They aren't and they don't.

"This is…not four million in cash,” remarks Stilinski. “Isaac. Did you fail to get my money back and decided to pick up a stripper on the road to bribe me? Because let me make this perfectly clear: this would totally work. Well done.” Or The mafia!AU where the Hales owe four million to the Stilinskis, Laura rents Derek (but not as a stripper), Stiles gets a new favorite, Derek gets a new boss, a new puppy and a new family. Sometimes they break people, but mainly, they just snark at each other.

Stiles nodded and smiled again, his teeth flashing brightly and he signed something again, before looking frustrated with himself. “You’re welcome,” Derek told him, feeling a wave of relief when Stiles’ face brightened. That would’ve been awkward if Stiles hadn’t been trying to say thank you. “I had a really good time, so yeah. I’m glad you came with me,” he said, feeling his face grow hot. Derek wasn’t usually like this. He wasn’t confident. Sure, he had the looks and he could flirt shamelessly when he got hit on, but he always got shy around the people he genuinely liked, not that there was too many of those. But Stiles didn’t let him dwell on that. He gripped Derek's arm, grinned cheekily and pointed at himself before lifting two fingers. It took a while for Derek to get it but when he did, he couldn’t stop a smile from spreading across his face. Me too.

It takes Derek a long time to find out and he's very unhappy about it. It's not that Stiles is with someone else, it's who he's with... he keeps telling himself. It's been a long time since Stiles and him were a thing anyway. He's way over that now. Besides, it's not like the two of them could ever possibly last. Derek can just bide his time and watch the inevitable train wreck this will turn into.
