[ Man, that's stupid. Tate hits Derek where he lives, making his heart feel three times as big, but at the same time, he just feels kind of sick. "You inspire me," he says to the guy wallowing in his pity over what a fucking asshole move it was to yell at Tate and threaten to lock him away in a hotel suite in the middle of the fucking full moon. Derek wonders what Tate would say, if he knew how close he came to being mauled. Literally, presumably, though Stiles lived to tell a different tale, so. Jesus, wow, okay, he thinks about something else.
Probably not something he's going to bring up, either way. Ever. Tate starts moving and Derek joins him soon enough, climbing down the side of the tree with an obnoxious amount of ease that Tate just doesn't have. He's going slow, keeping it leisurely. Just in case he needs to move fast to catch Tate when his stupid ghost ass loses grip.
Tate sits on a branch and Derek just - keeps going, climbing down until he hits the ground, and then he just... collapses. He's not tired, but he doesn't want to go home just yet, so he falls flat onto the ground, laying on his back and stretching out in the grass and the dirt. It's not the softest bed he's ever been on, but. Least he can look up at Tate without craning his neck. ]
