[ It's not that Derek's uncomfortable with talking about this, exactly, but there's a lot to think about here that makes him feel as if he has his back to the wall. His shoulders are tense, and he's ready to walk on eggshells here if he needs to, but after all this time, Tate deserves honesty when he seeks it out. Derek can't just shut down because he's scared of saying the wrong thing, or - looking too vulnerable to the people he cares about, or anything. They've known each other for too long, for that. ]

Not unless you want it to. You're in charge, legally speaking.

[ That's a non-answer, and Derek seems to realize that, because he shrugs one very tense shoulder and quickly takes another stab at it. ]

I don't want to change anything. He might stay here for a while, but - that's just to get him out of the dorms. He's a Sub again, so.
