Yeah. Like I said - I don't want to control you. You don't have to ask permission for things like that, just - give me a heads up so I don't walk in on you getting railed.
And, like. Keep your guests in the woods? Or the beach? I still can't let people know about the den.
Oh. Look at you. Pretty boy over here is suddenly a big, tough powertop. I see how it is. I'll throw out all those toys I bought you. Sounds like you don't need them anymore.
But yeah. Thanks. I'll try not to be too jealous. And/or paranoid about how he might secretly want to kill you and rally a mob of arsonists to burn down my house.
kind of bad. but it's better now just. stuff happened?
i don't know where to start but i got mad at him he was just trying to help me but... it doesn't matter. now we're just talking. about what we are? if anything.
which is a whole nother thing we're gonna meet up tomorrow maybe talk it through more
[ teenagers and their problems, man. maybe it's kind of hypocritical for derek to take "we're talking about what we are" as something of a non-problem, given his obsession with pack hierarchy and compartmentalizing his relationships, but.
this all just sounds terrible. ]
Good luck. Let me know how it goes. You know where you wanna stand with him, or are you just going into this blind?
This place is fucked up. He won't hold anything against you if he likes you. I've seen you in darker places than he has, and I'm still around, right? I'm sure it wasn't half as bad as you think it was.
You sure you don't want to talk about what actually happened?
there was this lake, full of ice and stuff. i don't know how i got there but people i knew were crawling out of it and trying to kill me. people from home. my mom's boyfriend. my mom. and violet.
peter stopped violet from pulling me under water. i almost drowned. i got mad at him because he had to hurt her to have her let go and i don't know. it was hard to deal with? trying to explain...
doesn't matter. i was just angry. he took me to his place to warm up and i kept having to explain i was fine and *how* i was fine. i healed okay, but it was close. i told him i was dead and he was a little mad with me for not fighting violet? i mean...
i can't really explain why but. it felt like i was supposed to go with her? i wanted to. that's why i was so angry. i know it's not reasonable now. this place has made me do a lot of unreasonable things. it's not fair.
[ jesus. he said he wouldn't judge tate, and he's not, but this is - scary? tate was in danger, being lured to a new death by the fucking siren song of a girlfriend who probably wasn't even real, and derek... didn't know it was happening. tate could have died and derek wouldn't have known until he came back. that's-- once again shining a light on the futility of their contract.
derek needs some time to answer this, but that's time he doesn't have, so he second guesses everything he writes as he sends each text off. ]
He can't blame you for what this place did to you. You were probably under a trance, or... something. They probably showed you Violet with the specific intent of fucking up your resistance. She wouldn't have been real. The real Violet would never want to hurt you. He can't be mad at you for... being pulled under by something specifically designed to pull you under. He's smarter than that. Better. So...
A little distance is probably all you needed. Hanging out with him in the woods will be enough to patch you guys up.
Yeah. It takes a lot of time for me to be able to tell someone I love them. If I hadn't met Stiles here the way that I did, I probably wouldn't have told him how I felt until I was on my deathbed. And even then, it'd come with an apology. I don't think there's anything wrong with something kick-starting your feelings if that's what happened here. Better to do it too early than too late. But.
I guess this is why you need to talk to him. I don't think I can solve this one for you.
[ a pause. there's a part of him still worried about what effects all this sedation might have - but it's still better than letting tate track a dealer down for some pills. ]
