I just want to know if you still want to have a relationship with him the way you did before. I know you care for him a lot, even if he doesn't remember it. But I do know that that might change things for us.

[Tate can't bring himself to say 'I know you love him' so he doesn't even try. He drops his gaze and tries not to feel annoyed by the prickly feeling that always arose when he was around Stiles too long. It was like he could see through every aspect of Tate's facade without even trying. He was too smart, too dangerous. Tate doesn't want him here again, not in between them. Not as a rival.]

But if that's what you want, I can take a few steps back. Or something.
