[ after tate spoke to him on the dom/sub finder app, derek knew they weren't... entirely broken, but. if tate is buttdialing him, it means he hasn't deleted derek's number from his phone. they're salvageable. that means something.
he listens, for a while, just to see if he can make out tate's voice - maybe he's in danger, maybe he needs help, maybe he called the first person he could think of because he's being held hostage at a... club. party. something. he doesn't hear tate, but he thinks he hears laughter, and that makes him a little less concerned. just a little. he hangs up and fires off a text. ]
