Mostly Just Weird, Not that Creepy Mansion on Phoenix Way, Sunday Evening

[newroutines]

Yet another full moon at the mansion! This was going to be completely normal, right? A certain mansion-appropriate version of normal, anyway. Right? That was what Mike was hoping for, although his optimism had been waning lately, for a few reasons.

But right now, he still had snacks and was sprawled on the couch, flipping through channels on the TV. If things were going to get crazy, they weren't there yet.

[ooc: Post is open and up early because ahahaha Sunday and timezones and whatever.]

"What?" Look, he had new found alpha confidence in his strength and agility, not in his skills with getting a date.

[justlurkinghere]

Those eyebrows were going nowhere. "Apparently you appeal to someone."

[robinonadderall]

"And by that you mean you." He was still surprised by that, and it showed.

[justlurkinghere]

"Somehow."

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah, well, you're a freak," he said with a smile.

[justlurkinghere]

"One you like." So Nyah.

[robinonadderall]

"Who said that?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek made a face. "Other you."

[robinonadderall]

"Well I wouldn't trust that guy." Oh god the flirting.

[justlurkinghere]

"He's basically you," Derek pointed out.

[robinonadderall]

"If he was basically me then wouldn't I be dating you in my own universe?" he asked.

[justlurkinghere]

...shhh, with your logic.

"You as a human." A beat. "Thank god Scott's the werewolf," he muttered.

[robinonadderall]

"I'm really feeling the love here," he said, rolling his eyes.

[justlurkinghere]

Derek shrugged. "Would you want some strange version of Scott replacing the one you know?"

[robinonadderall]

"Hey, I'm not strange." Rude, Derek. You were rude.

[justlurkinghere]

"Yeah you are," Derek shot back. "You're not him. You knocked on the door. You don't smell right."

Meaning like Derek. You don't smell like Derek.

[robinonadderall]

"You mean reeking of you?" he asked. "'Cause buddy you smell a lot like me right now and I'm guessing the feeling was mutual."

[justlurkinghere]

"We were friends before--all that." Sort of. Friends who flirted for at last half of that time. Also friends who shared clothing. And custody of a dog.

"Because he was too dumb to back off," he added, sounding way too fond for the words.

[robinonadderall]

"Oh god you've got it bad," he said, shaking his head. "I'm gonna throw up."

[justlurkinghere]

"I do not." Liiiiiie.

He put Scott to shame with the way he talked about Stiles to people. Like he was the best thing since Reese's.

[robinonadderall]

"You know I can hear when you're lying, right?" Stiles said. "Even if I couldn't, I can practically see the hearts in your eyes."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek sighed. "It's complicated. He's--you're underage. In high school."

[robinonadderall]

"I don't see what that has to do with your squishy adorable feelings."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek rolled his eyes, giving into the urge to smack this Stiles upside the head. "And you wonder why I want the other one back."

Who, lets be real, would have made fun of him too.

[robinonadderall]

And Stiles' reaction to that was much less dramatic than it would have been if he had been a human. Because werewolf.

"Ugh the other me would probably respond to your sappy shit with something equally as sappy."
