I meant another citation, not another tattoo. But - I'm glad. I always worried it didn't mean as much as it could have. I tried to make it matter, but... you still wouldn't have gotten it in the first place if it hadn't been forced on you.
we did the best we could with what we were dealt im glad u were the one to do it we made it our thing instead of the city's i wonder if ill still get a citation for saying something like FUCK THE CITY
[ derek sure hates this whole give tate his independence idea he came up with. how is he supposed to grill him about all the horrible shit he's done in secret? unbelievable. ]
Maybe don't test that out on an actively monitored network.
[ shit, that's really sweet - derek's touched, and he's not really sure what to say. kind of just wants to give tate a hug, but that's a difficult feeling to put into words. ]
Well - thank you. I hope I was good to you, when I was your dom. I really, really tried. Getting him his own space is bound to be beneficial for the both of you, if it's something you can afford. I'll help you look.
[ a pause. ]
You're sweet. You've always been sweet. I'm glad we're friends.
I don't think of you as my sub. I just think of you as my friend. Family. You matter more to me than the roles this city put us in. I know I say that a lot, but - I hope you know what I mean when I do.
[ he doesn't think tate misses being derek's sub so much as he just misses when it was just the two of them - and derek liked that, too, but he wouldn't trade having stiles here for anything, and with tate getting out there, signing contracts with new, trustworthy people, he thinks they're both in better places now than they were six or seven months ago. he can't... say that, though, not when tate's kind of making him feel bad. ]
We still have each other, though. We're lucky. With how often people have left in this place.
Maybe someone here likes you. Maybe LIES employees jerk off to your videos the most.
[ or maybe they think Tate is key to understanding this deceit gene bullshit, regardless of his graduation. who can say. ]
Anyway. No need to be sad. You're here. I'm here. I'm going to fuck your therapist. You're probably, eventually, going to fuck your straight friend. Nothing to feel bad about.
i'm trying to be understanding because i am. about the whole not gay thing i felt that way before too. still do? but he kind of acts like idk how to say it
no subject
though

no subject
Been a while, since you got that citation.
Kind of a miracle you haven't had any more since then.
Unless you have, and just chose not to tell me, but.
You know.
no subject
this one's kinda special
nothing else's seemed as important
i kinda wanna let harley ink me but that's mostly bc like u

i want yours to be on me forever, though. so it is.
no subject

He's relying on you.
[ as much as any sub relies on a dom around here, at least. ]
no subject

i also kinda want MY own space back
im trying to do for him what u did for me

no subject

i still miss it though, sometimes
being ur sub.
no subject
I get it.
[ he doesn't think tate misses being derek's sub so much as he just misses when it was just the two of them - and derek liked that, too, but he wouldn't trade having stiles here for anything, and with tate getting out there, signing contracts with new, trustworthy people, he thinks they're both in better places now than they were six or seven months ago. he can't... say that, though, not when tate's kind of making him feel bad. ]
We still have each other, though.

no subject

You're not top dog.
I'm top dog.
In almost every sense of the word. Literal, figurative, otherwise.
no subject
and well we did some stuff
not straight stuff
no subject
I'm not really going to fuck your therapist.
[ he's not going to tell tate about it, at the very least. that... won't stop him from fucking tate again, either, but more importantly - ]
What... kind of stuff?
no subject
do you really want the details? i'll tell you
but i don't wanna overshare
though i guess i do want your opinion on something
maybe
no subject
[ he's not going to pry if tate doesn't want to tell, though. he's not an animal. ]
What's up?
no subject

[Not annoyed but also a bit annoyed still.]
i'm trying to be understanding
because i am. about the whole not gay thing
