[ that explains it, to a degree. derek can't tell how old she is, but - he doesn't know how long stiles has been feeding her, either. maybe she's known him since she was a kitten. maybe she just... relates fish to stiles. maybe she was trying to take derek's fish because she thought it was hers, and that he was being an asshole and a thief.
which is annoying. derek shouldn't dwell on the cat when stiles has something kind of real going on, but he dwells on the cat, staring dead-eyed out the train window, watching everything go by. it takes a surprising amount of courage to send his next text. ]
I think I love her. I wish I knew how to make her like me. I know why she doesn't. She probably never will. But it does bother me that she likes you and not me.
Which. Is idiotic. I know. You're human. Of course she'll like you more.
