[ the room is still and dull and quiet for a little while longer, but stiles' last text changes that. it's okay, i'm fine, he says, and derek very pointedly sits up in bed, rustling the sheets and moving the mattress, shifting back until his back's against the wall. he doesn't say anything, but he makes enough of a show of what he's doing to get his point across - he's not going to sleep. ]
I don't want to sleep without you. I can stay awake.
[ stiles doesn't want to talk about this. about any of this. stiles wants to go back to stupid jokes or pretending to be alone or-- or something, and that's fine, they can do that in time, but derek still has more shit he wants to say. if his thumbs tap over his screen more spiritedly than they should this late at night, it's just because he's anxious. ]
I don't think you're stupid. I don't want you to keep anything to yourself. I don't care how small or paranoid your worries might be. We're a team. I want to support you. Through everything. I'll do better about my little things, too. Bring them up more. Like - Like, I'm still worried you think that I think you're messy. Because of the full moon. I don't. I never thought that. I want you to feel comfortable here. I don't want you to feel like you can't leave your shoes wherever you kick them off. I don't want you to worry about hanging up your towel after you use it. I don't mind.

I don't. I never thought that. I want you to feel comfortable here. I don't want you to feel like you can't leave your shoes wherever you kick them off. I don't want you to worry about hanging up your towel after you use it.
I don't mind.
I love you, too.
I'm sorry.
