You do. I care about you. Always have. It's good. Seeing you grow. You used to worry that you wouldn't be able to. So. That's why it matters so much to see you being better. Doing better.
[ who knows what will happen, should derek find out the horrible things that tate has done despite derek's belief that he's changed. "grown". ]
Just. You know. Tell me. If you ever want me to stop doing that. Watching over you. I know I can be a lot. When it comes to being protective.
[ where as derek's reply comes a little too slow. he just — pauses, feeling something constrict in his chest. guilt, again. as always, with tate. ]
I won't.
Just want you to have control of your own life. Your own choices. I don't want to make them for you the way I used to. That's the only space I'm giving you. I hope you know that. You're still as important to me as you ever were.

[In a certain way. So it's not a lie? Marcus and Derek both get spun the same story, but with different yarn.]
