[ alright he's going to stop relying on that particular style of burn. but. there is something kind of hollowing in what stiles says; that prison was a fucked up place, people died, every day felt miserable and hellish and scary, except for the days when it didn't, when derek was drugged and angry and violent. he should be sleeping so much better, now that he's away from it.
maybe he just needs some time to get used to being back. but it's been... a week, and that hasn't happened, not even slightly. he could blame it on the bullet wound, but he knows that's not the problem. ]
I just got used to you being there. So... Maybe I should buy a scarecrow to sleep with. They're long and skinny and weird-looking, just like you. I'd have to sharpie on a few moles and dress it up in some ratty plaid, sure, but once I did? Wouldn't even be able to tell you're gone.
