[ Honestly, there's a part of Derek - a pretty big part of him, honestly - who didn't expect Tate to come. All he'd need is one distraction to ghost him, and until Derek hears the slightly stomping footfalls of an angsting teenage boy walking through the woods, he's not convinced that that distraction won't find him.
Tate climbs into the tree house and Derek doesn't comment on the lack of a heartbeat. He... expected it wouldn't be there. He's still up in the loft, looking down at the entrance, and he gets to his feet without saying hello, nodding upwards. ]
